  • ive slacked off the last 2 months or so so dont feel guilty I know I can still lose without exercise so.
  • well I will wish you luck with it and maybe it will be easier for you to stick with. for me it just comes naturally and has since I was a kid. so who knows.
  • actually it can stay off if she stays in maintenance. to gain it back and more she would have to be in a surplus of calories(over her TDEE). she can do a recomp, or a bulk which is a surplus of calories and will come fat gain,BUT she can gain muscle and if she were to do a cut she may see her abs,but she may have to get…
  • you are supposed to eat back your exercise calories. your net is supposed to be 1200. if you arent losing anything and its been 6 weeks(a true plateau is 6-8 weeks) then you are eating more than you think Ive been there done that and its really easy to do especially now with food labels changing ALL the time and portions…
  • the last 5 will come off very slowly. so why not recomp now and gain some muscle and lose some fat? you have to be patient. and once you get the weight off why do a long term recomp? why not just run bulk and cut cycles? I think the longer you recomp the less results you will see over time. heck with only 5 lbs you could…
  • how do you know you are eating that little? do you use a scale? if you were truly eating that little and working out the weight would not be creeping up. its not what you eat but how much for weight loss. and its really easy to eat more than you think if you are not weighing everything(solids and semi-solids) in grams on a…
  • is your deficit set to lose .5 lbs a week? if not that could be why(not enough calories) and if you are eating in maintenance why not do a recomp and build muscle and lose fat. although its slow going it will change your body and how it looks.
  • eating too little calories will not stop you from losing weight. if you eat too little and exercise on top of it you will lose lean mass including muscle and fat. I agree OP is eating too little but that has nothing to do with not being able to lose weight ,if that were the case those whom are anorexic, in starving 3rd…
  • that to me sounds severely F'ed up to be honest.
  • the times you choose whatever they are as long as they fit for you is fine. there is no specific time window I do 16:8 most days which is 16 hrs of fasting and eating in a window of 8 hrs. other times I eat 18:6. so my times are like say from 9pm tonight I will be done eating and I wont eat until 1-2pm the next day. its…
  • if you are restricting foods/meals its a diet. not a very good one but a restrictive one none the less. no sugar? which would mean fruits and veggies as well.cereal is also a carb,oj is a carb/sugar. That diet contradicts itself for sure
  • fasting doesnt make the weight loss any easier unless it helps you to stick to a calorie deficit. as for insulin and getting it under control and making it easier not to gain the weight back? no you can prevent gaining the weight back by not going back to old habits and not overeating. it really has nothing to do with…
  • essential oils can be dangerous and its basically a fad(research shows that most are placebos). exercise is proven to help so is weight lifting/resistance traning. as for the right diet there is no one size fits all diet for RA.for some cutting carbs may help, for people like me it makes no difference as carbs dont cause…
  • I have had RA for 15 years now and I am not on any special diet. the thing that works for me is weight lifting/reisistance training. I eat a lot of carbs and it doesnt cause me any issues. I am not on meds yet either. It seems as long as Im strengthening my body the better I feel and almost no pain(compared to before I…
  • if you get it to move quicker that could mean loss of nutrients and so on. of course you will be hungrier. but that doesnt mean you can eat more. digesting is supposed to take a certain amount of time its how the body works. just for some its too slow or too fast due to health issues. improving digestion doesnt mean more…
  • you can do it that way but exercise is good for your heart/body and it may change how you look as opposed to losing weight without exercise.now if you cant exercise right now thats fine not everyone can exercise which is fine too. but if you can even starting out say with a 5 min walk per day and increasing little by…
  • actually fat is lost in a deficit of calories whether you exercise or not.,you burn calories living and doing exercise. if you were to eat the same amount of calories that you burn you may not lose any fat. as for eating a portion of exercise calories some can eat back all and still lose YMMV. to maintain muscle you need…
  • no you burn fat in a deficit and can only burn so much fat per day. exercise is great for the body sure and no you arent wasting your time unless you think that exercise is what causes weight and fat loss. its not.if you like working out do it as it will change how your body looks and it can build stamina and improve how…
  • she isnt building muscle and cutting fat using cardio machines.
  • fung has been debunked by many and I have been fasting more than 30 years not 3. and even times when I wasnt fasting and yes there were times. it made no difference in my health or anything else weight loss wasnt any different(providing the calories were the same). as long as Im eating in a deficit I lose weight whether IM…
  • Ive been doing IF for more than 3 decades and never heard of there being a default time.
  • yeah I know how it works and that its a tool.
