That is actual not true. More than suggested micro nutrients can do harm and not all the excess is eliminated. Though our body is very clever and complex there are situations when it can accept more than needed.

Bottom line is yes as long as you eat in caloric deficit you lose weight. No humans can live on one single type of food indefinitely . Not even the astronauts that have packed all the macros and micros in that piece of plastic meal. It is not sustainable. Nature that fed us for millions of years did not create such a food…

Calculate your TDEE using a good formula like this one from here: h tt p s://www.iifym.com/tdee-calculator/ TDEE would be your current maintenance (eg 2470). Subtract 500 calories from this no. (eg 1970). For regular workouts you don't have to bother adjusting it but for high intensity and demanding ones like 1/2 marathon…

This.+1.Nobody can do it for you.We can be compasionate, we can advice you, support you but YOU have do it.There is no other way.Good luck!!

60 lbs over 3 years is a very steady pace. Good for you.I would not be able to be that patient. :smile:

LOL +1 to this.

Congratulations!! This kind of post should be a real motivation for everybody.

50lbs to lose here until end of May. Started well this year with proper diet and gym.Good luck to everybody!

46 here going on 47. Canadian and I have 50 lbs to lose but I had a good start this year with a proper diet and regular workouts. I've done this before couple of times so I know I can do it. The problem is maintaining it. Feel free and add me me if you need support. Good luck to everybody!

+1. Good luck.

+1 to this. Not easy to do though. - One of the biggest things for me was re-adjusting my mindset of what "full" meant. This actually happened because I had late evening practices for my sports team. If I ate until I was "full," meaning "STUFFED," then sprinting up and down the field was absolutely *dreadful* because I had…

+1 LOL.

I feel the same. Weird and I think it's true as well.:) "I also realised that it's ok to feel hungry. It's strange at first, but now I actually like feeling hungry as it probably means that I'm going to a) lose weight" Anyway, to the OP, just being here is the 1st step. Keep logging, chose smart what you eat and keep…

Funny I just ordered the book when I saw your post.The book has fantastic reviews.

I like this definition.Simple and vague enough to make you wonder. The kill term is clear enough but the sick one is not. If you eat 10 apples after you ran 10k you're going to throw up. Are the apples unhealthy? They are not but they still make you sick. I've got your meaning though and this is just to add my contribution…

Thank you britishbroccoli. I tried meetup.com.No fitness meetups for this city and I don't do classes. I'm more focused on weight training and cardio equipment.

+1 I think this is the correct answer to the OP's question.

Wow.Completely different person.Congrats!!!

+1. LOL:drinker: "I think it depends on who you ask. Girlfriend - 10 years older Mum - 10 years younger Draw your own conclusions :)"

Boring and far from helpful.:noway: "The best way to prevent loose skin is not to get fat and then try and lose weight to quickly."

This. "I don't know what the 17 day diet is but if you cut your carbs you're probably experiencing what people call "low carb flu". Drink a cup of broth or salt your food liberally and you'll feel much better. Good luck. :) ETA: It's definitely low carb -- more salt will help you. More calories probably will too to some…

Resist hunger after 7 pm.:sad:

Not about avocados you should be careful but about potatoes. LOL!!!

Good for you. Congrats.

This... By the way today looks good. Me personally I'd lower the carbs under 100 g and increase both proteins and fats accordingly.

Great post. Cheers.

It is really hard for me to believe that it is the same person in before and after pictures. Absolutely fantastic. You're great man. Congrats.
