If you truly want to lose weight you can't expect to ever be full, unless you IF and eat in a small eating window. Hunger is par for the corse! You have to decide if those few extra lbs are worth it! Feeling full is not a feeling you should often have! Shoot for feeling not hungry. In fact even in maintenance you don't eat…

Stomach vacuums, fork put downs, and plate push aways.

I think some people need a goal that is less intimidating "easer", Choosing the high end of the scale does that. There are others who need a goal that is "harder", and chose a goal on the low end of the scale. The great thing about long term goals is they can be adjusted as you come close to them. I would bet most people…

Have you gained back your 5ish lbs of water/glycogen weight since you upped your cals? If not you are in a SLOW deficit

According to the scAle you started with 65 lbs of fat and now only have 56 lbs of fat. So that's 9 lbs of fat and you also dropped a large amount of water weight at the begining. Let's go consertave and say it was only 15lbs and not the 20 that most fad diets take advantage of to sell their product. Thats 24 lbs accounted…

Is there a reason you insist on consuming less than the 1300 cals you were set up with?

If you have past hormone issues that haven't been resolved I would have your dr take a closer look. Being dizzy if you don't eat every 2-3 hours is not something to let them brush off as normal hormone fluctuations especially with your sensativity.

Weak and dizzy after 2-3 hrs isn't normal. I'm gonna say talk to a dr and get blood work done.

Are you afraid of hunger for a short time? Is it really hunger or is it something else? When losing weight you have to be comfortable or at least accept hunger as part of the equation. There is a difference between a bit of peckish hunger and true my body needs more cals hunger. It comes down to what you are willing to do,…

Have you always eaten so many meals in a day? Some people find it helps but some find it triggers hunger signals more frequently.

Stay on top of your macros through out the day! If fat does help you stay satisfied do t let it get to low before you address it. Personally I have to keep at least 60g in my diet spread through the day to keep me even and in control.

What does your fat look like on a daily/weekly basis

Olives are wonderful! So are avocados, nuts and seeds, cheese, and many other fat sources. I only suggested the peanutbutter because it has a sweet overtone which may help the op transition easer.

Do you tend to crave fatty sweets? To you have enough fat in your diet? Have you tried to increase the fat you eat around the times you crave? Peanutbutter is a good way to do this and still get a bit of that sweet still. I find most times I crave sweets it is when I haven't had a good fat source in a while and the sweet…

Joint pain is hard to advise on. There is a group called Eat TrainProgress that has many people willing to help with form if you post video of your form.

Cooked or raw? I cod see raw being good.

Dill pickle and peanut butter sandwiches!!!!

So you can train yourself for a quicker turnover at the same max%?

They are def different! Willpower is used to make a choice: do I sleep in which feels nice, or will I get up and workout which will further the goals I have set. Habit is something that has become a part of your life or way of living: I wake up and have coffee every morning, I don't make the choice every day it's just part…

Or just use a cup :wink:

Of it's just an overall thing I take potassium and magnesium daily.

I like the theory... May have to experiment and see if it happens less with a sports drink or not.

I'm curious what causes the involuntary twitching after a hard workout?

I learned something new. So this means if you don't rest long enough your muscles literally don't have the ability to move energy from one cell to another.

Choose one thing each month to work on. -Eat within your cals first month. Make it a habit! -Add the gym second month. Make it a habit! -Adjust what you are eating to be more healthy third month. Make it a habit! -So on....

Willpower is what I use to build the habits that will get me to my goals!

Move to get rid of stiffness, eat to give your body what it needs to repair the muscle. Heat or cold which ever sounds and feels good. Pain killers may take the edge off but they may also prolong the time it takes to recover.

The reason for the rest is to let the CNS reset and recover. Compound lifts and high weights take more of a toll so need a longer rest. When maintaining muscle while losing I believe the most efficient use of time is a strength based compound movement centered full body workout. This is lower reps higher weight full body…

Prob the same way my friend can't help feeling the weight saves them from temptation. :wink: Guess the world is full of people who respond irrationally to life situations. Lol
