Weight Loss for Everyone

I’ve never posted about weight loss or any adjacent topic before. And for a long time, my weight didn’t bother me—it just existed. I previously had been a competitive long distance swimmer at 135 pounds of pure cardio driven muscle. And I took that for granted. After quitting swim, I ate little—which made me not think to why I had gained so much weight. And I finally wanted to step up and think about it. I did a week long food journal to realize my one and a half meals a day were adding up to almost 3,000kcal. Which is…. Clearly not ideal. I kicked it into gear doing 1800kcal a day, 33/33/33 on macros, and…. Saw no progress for 3 weeks. Thought to myself, “That’s okay, that happens” and kicked it to 1700kcal for another 2 weeks— not a single pound dropped, still 160. At this point I was panicking and was in what felt like a worthless death spiral. I kept with it, no cheat days at all in regards to calories and dropped to 1500kcal. This was a struggle for the first week, I couldn’t ...

Today is your Day 1? ​ Welcome to r/Loseit ! ​ So you aren’t sure of how to start? Don’t worry! “How do I get started?” is our most asked question. r/Loseit has helped our users lose over 1,000,000 recorded pounds and these are the steps that we’ve found most useful for getting started. ​ Why you’re overweight ​ Our bodies are amazing (yes, yours too!). In order to survive before supermarkets, we had to be able to store energy to get us through lean times, we store this energy as adipose fat tissue. If you put more energy into your body than it needs, it stores it, for (potential) later use. When you put in less than it needs, it uses the stored energy. The more energy you have stored, the more overweight you are. The trick is to get your body to use the stored energy, which can only be done if you give it less energy than it needs, consistently. ​ Before You Start ​ The very first step is calculating your calorie needs. You can do that HERE . This will give you an appro...

I have always LOVED going shopping, but it caused me immense pain. I hated how my body looked and how nothing would ever fit me "right". I nitpicked my body in every single way and couldn't buy anything because of how disgusting I felt in everything. It stressed me out so. damn. much. I am now 30 pounds down and decided to go clothes shopping today with a friend because I had nothing new to wear. Well, I ended up taking 11 items into the fitting room and purchasing 10 of them. I now feel so much more comfortable trying on new clothes and I can finally shop in the same section as my friends. We even pick up the same sizes and I feel confident enough to put on a fashion show in the changing room. It's so liberating to pull whatever I want off of the clothes rack and try them on because most things fit now. And I don't hate how my body looks anymore. I get stressed because of how many clothes I want to purchase but don't have the money for lol. I always used...

Hi all Just for a little context, I am 20(M) and have been on my weight loss journey for the past 8 months. in October, I took a little time with myself to reflect on the poor health choices that I have made and decided to make a change. I started at 250 pounds, and now at the time of posting this, I am 175 pounds. I feel amazing, and it has been one of the best decisions that I have made. It has motivated me to do many other things in my life that I never thought that I would do. For example, today the infamous memorial day CrossFit workout, the Murph challenge, never in a million years would I have thought that I would do it, but did the entire thing in 42 minutes. but today, after working out, I did a little thinking about what is next for me, and honestly, I have for the past month. I want to gain some muscle and prioritize lifting because through this entire journey, I found a passion for it. One of the things that I am struggling with is knowing that I will have to increase my c...

F23, SW: 398lb, CW:333.4lb, GW: 175lb. Ive been on my weight loss journey for about 7.5 moths now and have lost roughly 65lb. Idk if anyone relates but im in that awkward phase where I can notice a nice deal of change in my body and ppl are also starting to notice. But Im still hella fat and every part of my body looks the same but just smaller lol. Like clothes are getting looser, smaller clothes are now fitting, but at the same time nothing looks good. I know this is just a phase and Ill be seeing more results soon. I know eventually Ill get to a weight and appearance where ill be happy and like what I see. But it just sucks to wake up and look in the mirror after all this hard work and working out to still not like what I see. Anyone feel the same? submitted by /u/zahimahi97 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/npjimf/in_that_awkward_phase_of_my_weigh_loss_journey/

Dear people, I am struggling to get the motivation to actually stick with the changes needed to loose weight. I'm trying to focus on future health benefits. What conditions/ pain / labs were you able to make better? How long were you obese for? And at what BMI did you get those health benefits? As for myself there are so many more severe and concerning issues now, but one small thing just felt like the last drop lately. noticed I had an itchy skin lesion on the side of my face for many weeks and thought I might have skin cancer. Turns out it's just my old glasses from before gaining all the weight. I started using them again and haven't noticed how small they are for me and how they press on my face now. I never thought about it, glasses not fitting ! submitted by /u/countingstars1234 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/npjupq/ex_obese_of_loseit_what_health_problems_caused_by/

About a year ago I adopted an obese Labrador mix. She weighed 140 pounds with health issues because of her size and desperately needed to lose weight. So we started walking every day and got her on diet food. She started to lose weight faster than I did, but now that I’ve started to improve my eating habits we are both making great progress. She’s lost about 30 pounds, and I’ve lost 25 so far. It’s so helpful having a partner to keep me motivated and accountable. So I wake up every day and choose to eat well and walk often, for both our sake!

I have lost 14lbs since January, which I am proud of and continue to remind myself that I am farther than when I started, but this past month has been a struggle. It may be coming down on me harder right now because of my PMS, but it's difficult to find joy in activities outside of food. I have tried to take action and do things like take a walk, read, watch tiktok, draw, listen to a podcast, take a bath, put together Amazon wish lists, video games, Youtube...etc. I end up feeling more depressed. Food is much easier. I am so sick of food being this drug over me. I am trying really hard to make sure I eat my fruit, veggies, and protein while including fun foods throughout the week, but it is still hard and weight loss is hard. These kinds of nights are so hard. I just want to eat to feel good, but I went to my doctors and my blood pressure is slightly elevated so if I eat continue to over eat, my health will decline and eating is just going to put a bandage over my problems for ...

I’ve been losing weight since January (down about 25 lbs of my 100 lb goal). Very pleased with my progress, but in April I started feeling pretty emotionally fatigued from my new lifestyle, and found myself wanting to “cheat” more and more regularly. So I decided to take a maintenance break in May, and allow myself to work out less (not every single day) and eat at TDEE, not below, as well as take a break from tracking every single calorie. I also stopped weighing myself during this period for about 3 weeks. Stepped on the scale for the first time today, and lo and behold I lost 1 pound! I was very nervous that I was going to have gained multiple pounds, so it’s very reassuring that I can take these maintenance breaks when my body needs a break and not have to stress about losing all my progress. Feeling recharged and ready to get back on track and tackle the next 25 lbs! submitted by /u/whyrose99 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/npicgs/fir...

Mostly asking because I need some motivation. I really hate the way my lower face looks which is the main driving force behind why I'm losing weight in the first place. I want to be able to see my jaw lol, the lower half of my face kinda looks like a thumb XD Anyways just wondering if there is anyone else who struggled with or is struggling with a similar issue. Maybe does anyone have and tips to make my neck / cheeks tighter? My weight is dispersed in my body super strangely I feel like. I have barely any fat on my arms at all, a little bit of a belly but it looks kinda average, SUPER MASSIVE thick thighs (like seriously three or more times bigger than my hand when I sit down) and a massively thick neck. I don't really know where I'm going with this but I've lost 4 kilos since I started my calorie deficit about 4 weeks ago, so I'm going well I think haha Currently 89 kilos and I stand just under 5'11 Thanks for reading my rambling :D my face front my fa...

I’ve been struggling with losing these past few weeks. I’m constantly losing and putting on the same three pounds. I’ve stuck quite rigidly to my 1500 calories, usually finishing a day 100/200 under rather than over. I weigh everything to be as accurate as I can. I aim to lose 1lb a week but it’s often been more. I’ve been unable to exercise due to flare in arthritis. Is this just a plateau or am I likely doing something wrong? How do I get over this hurdle? Should I reduce my daily calories by more? I’m still obese so it’s not like I’ve only got a few lbs to lose. sw: 218 lbs - feb21 cw: 193/196 lbs - may 21 gw: 175 lbs (temporary with goal to reduce once reached) submitted by /u/Obobal [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/noz12p/losing_the_same_few_pounds_each_week/

So the lockdown in our country was finally lifted 2 weeks ago, and i went back to training. I'm aiming for 4 times a week (just like before the lockdown), but due to the reservation system some weeks it will only be 2 or 3 times. While i'm still a beginner, i do have some experience with cutting (went from 85kg to 75kg 2 years ago, with low-carb/keto). Now i "only" gained 2kg during the lockdown, i wanted to try and crash those 2kg's hard. Not necessarily with low-carb/keto, but just a large calory deficit. I'm a 30 year old male, 1.82m and currently weighing about 76,5kg. I wanted to see if i could make a quick cut to 75kg but it's not going as fast as i like. I'm currently eating about 1.600-1.700 Kcal a day (and starving lol). But on a daily basis, i'm at around 150gr Carbs a day (and about 130gr Protein). Do you think 150gr Carbs is too much to cut fast for my needs? Or what am i doing wrong? submitted by /u/RedSkyNL [link] [comme...

28f, 5'10 sw 206lbs cw 195lbs gw 175lbs (for health)/160lbs (for vanity) Weight lost this week: 2lbs I started working out this week and I'm feeling so much better for it. It's nothing complicated - just using a rowing machine and lifting some light weights. I'm glad to have made some progress this week. I think I'd have lost more but I did lapse a bit yesterday. My partner took me out for a surprise date and I ended up eating a tonne of dessert. There's no point making excuses or regretting anything - back to the plan of healthy eating today, and the weight will come off eventually. Non-scale victories: Men's size medium shirts are baggy in the waist now! I've been able to say no to a lot of junk food this week. I wore a swimming costume this week! Still felt too big in it but I did it: https://ibb.co/LnB1xvR I'm focusing on improving myself in other ways too - including drinking more water, working on my skin and addressing some mental ...

Hi r/loseit ! I've been hanging around this sub for a while now but I didn't officially take weight loss seriously until about a month ago when some health issues came into play. Long story short, doctor said I need to lose weight. It has been challenging to make changes to my lifestyle but surprisingly not as bad as I thought it would be. I cut out dairy, cut down on bread/rice/potatoes, started eating salad for lunch, cut down my portions to a real serving size, and started CICO. I've been exercising regularly by walking/jogging, biking, going to classes at the gym (never thought I'd be doing Zumba but here we are!). I switched from soda or juice to coke zero or lacroix. I'm working on learning to eat only when I'm hungry and not just when I'm bored or think about food. Today, I finally started to see the changes. My face looks different. My stomach looks smaller. My clothes are looser. I dont feel stuffed all the time. My skin is clear. My rings fit mo...

I've lost almost 240lbs, please do not congratulate me on this as I never should have let myself get to 450+lbs in the first place. Of course yes I feel better than I did when I was super morbidly obese, I'm fit and healthy and have no doubt added time to my life. My life is better in every single aspect. No more medications, less headaches, less tired, more energy etc etc. That said, I can't help feel a bit underwhelmed, I'm not sure what it is, maybe because it's such a gradual process, and there's no solid finish line. I used my weight as a crutch, an excuse for why I was happy staying in a dead end job, why I couldn't date and have relationsips or friendships. Now that the weight is (mostly) gone, I feel exposed, there's no excuses anymore. And it makes me feel a bit uneasy. It's probably just because this has all happened so fast, not sure, could also be because I'm in my mid 30's now and things like dating go up in difficulty by se...

32F, 5’7”, CW: 214, SW: 234, GW: 150ish I’ve been on a plateau for a few months and have admittedly been stressed out and mostly just trying to keep the weight I lost off (with some success). I have started my research, which is a very physical job hiking through the forest for several hours a day, crouching and looking at plants with a big heavy pack on my back. I also hike on the weekend with my dog every other week or so, and the “down time” at my job also involves things like agricultural work, such as digging holes and shaking out dirt from sod to plant trees for an orchard. I also strength train with body weight exercises. I am not really paying attention to calories except a general goal not to eat crappy foods. As a result of all this, I have begun losing fat, but not weight. I am two pounds heavier on the scale but my pants are comically loose. I have a shirt that has not fit in two years that is almost comfortable, but not evenly: loose in the shoulders and chest, still a...

I've been consuming lots of sugar, without control, a big part of my life. I'm afraid that consequences will come in some terrific form as a diabetes type 2, damaged bones, teeths, visceral fat or so. Luckily, by now, my health is in very good condition, have done searches, and everything is good. I'm 34, about 110kg, and 183 height. I had a phases without sugar intake in my life, couple of years ago, even 40 days without it, but in short time, as I thought that i have control over it, it took me back to start. Now, as I moved to new country 8 months ago, I had a total new phase with trying all the new candies and sweeteners, but that's just an excuse. I'm eating too much sugar, too much chocolate. After every meal I can eat something sweet, and it summs up to 6-7 times a day. Some days I've tried to burn in with exercise.

Hay y’all! I’m trying to lose a good 60 to 70 pounds. I’m currently 280 pounds and I was 305 about 2 months ago. I’m working out everyday( mostly cardio) , eating right, and not drink alcohol at all. I also am drinking about 2 gallons of water a day because I read that you are supposed to drink a ounce of water a day for every pound you weigh if your trying to lose weight. For the past 10 days I can’t seem to get past that 280 mark and looking for a little advice on how can I improve. Also another fact is that I wake up during the night and be a bit hungry so when I wake up I get a granola bar and a glass of milk and eat that almost every night. Is that ok to eat during the night when your trying to lose weight. I’m trying to get to my ideal weight and size by Christmas so I want to get it right and appreciate any feedback.

31F 5'2" SW 165 CW 139 GW 135 I did keto for about 4 months, and after reaching my first goal weight I transitioned back into carbs about a week before we had a 2 week visit from family (SIL and her husband). I knew we'd have a lot family meals including lots of carbs (and alcohol) and I wanted to enjoy myself, but was also scared about ruining all my progress. My last weigh in before their trip I was 139.7. A week into their trip, I was 139.7. They left yesterday, and today I weighed 139.7! This is a big milestone for me. I typically tend to go all or nothing with my eating habits. While I definitely watched what I ate and modified portions/macros/timings of other meals to fit around their schedule and what I knew would be on the menu, I did indulge with sweets, alcohol, and more carbs than I've eaten this year. However, I also exercised a lot (indoor cycling and strength training), which I think was key for not gaining weight during this time. I always see that die...

Hey everyone. This is my second post on Reddit as I am more of a reader than a writer. However, it seems like after losing weight, body dysmorphia is pretty common, and I’d like to share an experience about it. Long story short, I’m down about 100 pounds from January of last year. I’m at the lowest weight of my adult life at 195 pounds, just 15 pounds away from my goal. Today was a good day. The family and I went to a clothing store and I fit in a size medium light coat. This is huge because I was in a 3xl at my largest and probably haven’t fit into a medium since middle school. I wrapped up the day with a semi-healthy dinner and a workout and, then, it happened. I had my shirt off, about to grab a towel to take a shower and my 6 year old daughter comes up to me and lifts up my stomach. She says, “You have a big stomach. It’s not supposed to hang down like this, it’s jiggly.” My wife went on to explain to her that, sometimes when losing weight, people keep excess skin. My daughter a...

I just took the first step and signed up for 5:00am weekday classes starting tomorrow at Burn Bootcamp and I got my mom to join me to keep me going/make me feel obligated to go (though she’s starting Tuesday as she’s been working all week and watching my toddler all weekend and needs a veg/lazy day). If I don’t have a steady gym partner then I slack off and end up ditching entirely. I’m 24f, 5’5” and 258lbs, size 20-22. I don’t 100% care about weight loss as I understand I can and likely will add muscle mass but I’d like to at least get back to a 14 or 16 and have more energy to raise and play with my toddler. submitted by /u/Beat-Nice [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/noqubt/day_0_starting_at_500am_est/

This pop up has never looked so good. I can’t say I haven’t missed a day, but I have gone back at 12:17am and hit the back button, updated dinner, then hit finished. Between a horrible breakup to my dog being sick to having surgery, CICO has been the only constant. I’ve lost 60lbs, from male, 5’5” and ~240 to also a male, still short af and 180? I’m doing my damndest. Surgery recovery has been the hardest, because I couldn’t eat for the longest time and now that I can one of my new medications has me STARVING. So it’s been protein and water intake. Beans and hummus and salad, and water. Lots and lots of water. I go on long walks now, since I’m not allowed to run yet, and I drink water. But I’m still on this journey. My doctor is thrilled for me, and said I can stop whenever I’d like. Ideally I would like to get to 165, that’s sort of the dream number. But I’m no longer desperate fo see the scale drop down. I’m no longer aching for see the number consistently go down, as long as it...

do you like your diet foods? do you feel hungry? are you an emotional eater? are you eating enough volume? are you eating often enough? is your deficit too extreme? is there too much temptation around you? there are many reasons diets fail. but there are also many solutions eat foods you like, find calorie and portion controlled recipes you love. dont let yourself get hungry, eat more often, eat bigger volume meals. address your emotional issues, find other outlets. find low-calorie dense foods you can binge on without caloric surpluses (popcorn is 300calories per 8 cups of popcorn! strawberries are 40calories per 100g!) . dont be afraid to change your macros, the time of your meals, and the volumes of each meal. dont be afraid to set a smaller deficit if it means you can truly stick to it. find a diet you can stick to for the rest of your life, do not 'yo yo diet'.

M20, 5’7”, SW: 92kg, CW: 70kg/154lbs So today was the first time I took full body pictures after my 20kg weight loss. It was the first time I actually felt so so so confident taking full body pictures. It’s crazy because I feel and look like a completely brand new person, even my siblings didn’t recognise the new me and were surprised. At times it’s a bit weird because I genuinely don’t recognise my new self and I get like a really strange sensation not sure how to explain it😅. But anyways I thought back to my former bigger self and I really do pity him, he went through so much to get to where I am today and I know this sounds a bit weird but I do wish he had the same confidence back then that the new me has today, life would have been so much easier. But hey it’s in the past now and I’ve kinda learned to make peace with it so I can finally move on. However, after a lot of thinking I’ve come to the realisation that I use to use me being fat as a “scapegoat” I’d say for a lot of my...

I am so confused and feel really dumb right now. I have lost 60 lbs l, still need to lose plenty more, but right now I need to buy some better fitting clothes. Where I am, dressing rooms are all closed, so I cant try anything on. I have measured myself, I probably should have measured at the beginning before losing weight also. But when I do my chest/waist/hip measurements, and compare it to a chart, it says i should be wearing like a 3x. But my clothes all fall off of me now. Like a size 18 womens Jeans, they fall off me while I'm cooking. So, maybe I am measuring wrong, but I keep doing the measurements and the numbers I am getting are not translating into clothing well for me. I suppose I was probably wearing the wrong size all along. But I have not a Damn clue what size to even attempt and I cant try them on. I feel embarrassed by the measurements.... heres what I got today - 46 inch waist, 48 in hip. But my size 44 mens, and size 18 womens, pants fall off of me. Starting weig...

I was going to post this on r/Keto , but the people over there honestly don’t seem to like when stop doing Keto or talk even remotely negatively about it So for the past month (35 days to be more accurate) I’ve been doing the Keto diet to help with my weight loss, as I had hit a plateau and was stuck hovering around 220lbs for months. 35 days later and I now weight 196.2 (the lowest I’ve weighed in five years!!!). The diet definitely worked for me, but it’s been miserable. I don’t really enjoy eating food anymore and I’ve been so tired and energy deprived that it takes me a week to recover from doing a basic workout. Now that I’ve broken through my Plateau quite substantially I’d like to transition back to a more normal weight loss diet. But honestly, stopping Keto seems really intimidating. I know that it’s a gradual process, so I’m planning on adding back in 20g of carbs a week until I hit 120, which is a good amount for standard weight loss. have no idea what my Macros should be ...

I’m currently on a weight loss journey. Started with IF but switched to CICO and have lost 20 out of 40 pounds. After the first two month I discovered FitOn, and it has really changed my life. Never knew workout could be that fun and rewarding! I do mostly one strength workout of about 20 minutes, and 10 minutes of HIIT. I do this every day. FitOn tells me that I burn about 300 calories in those 40 minutes. Is that possible? I don’t eat back those calories anyway, so I guess it doesn’t really matter, but I get motivated by the number and wonder if it’s about right.

I am just needing to figure out the amount of calories I need to eat in a day to lower my body fat %. I would say I am a decently lean guy but still have some stomach fat that needs to go :) I have been eating around 1700 calories a day and coming across this website ( tdeecalculator.net ) it is showing that I should eat 1,455 calories. As a younger male who walks roughly 10k steps a day is this too low ? I want to do what is right but I don't want to screw myself over. I do lift weights and still want to see strength gains in the gym... thoughts? submitted by /u/nowitsgiven [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/no9ies/23m_at_146lbs_1500_calories_a_day_for_fat_loss/

I'm 33 years old. I've been obese now for 4 years, for the first time since I was a young teenager and I'm trying, but only succeeding in yo-yo dieting. I do exercise and I would feel so much worse if I didn't have that. One thing that is fairly new to me only noticeable in the past couple of years is the sensation of being hung over when I consume the wrong things, mostly too much carbs/sugar. Like...yeah I've eaten things that don't sit right in me before. Like a big meal with fries and there's too much salt and fat. Or eating or drinking too much dairy at once and feeling bloated and uncomfortable. But sometimes I'll eat, and it won't be anything absolutely massive and gluttonous...and at first I'll feel fine. Even good. And then my body starts to absorb it and a sense of malaise comes on. Like my body is struggling to process what I'm eating. I wonder how much of it is just being more self aware about body sensations and changes. Maybe...

SW-83 kgs(183 lbs) CW-73.5 kgs(163 lbs) GW-60 kgs(132 lbs) 5'9 23 Y M. So binge eating junk got me to my SW.I don't lift weights and never had tbh.My plan is to first lose all the fat just through proper diet(Doing 19:5 IF) with no weights and get to that skinny weight range.After i hit 60 kgs i'll then incorporate weights and my ideal physique would probably be like that of a light welterweight boxer(145 pounds with lean muscle).The reason i dont lift weights now is that i want to just get the diet part right because that's been my pain point over the last few years and fixing that is my priority now.Is that the correct approach? submitted by /u/khurjabbbb [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/no8k02/2_months_into_weight_loss_and_im_delighted_but_a/

Hi everyone! Lorry here. :) I've been religiously tracking calories since quarantine started (last year) and everything has been going well until the start of April, this year. I decided to increase my intake to 9,000 calories PER WEEK (from 7,500) and I've only lost one pound since then. My maintenance/tdee is 11,200 calories so I don't understand why this is happening. I weigh all my food, barely cook with oil, and only use condiments/sauces with my food when it is my "cheat day". I promise you, I would never underestimate my calories in any way... Please help! Is this a weight loss plateau? If so, what can I do?

Now that I lost weight I get showered with compliments every day from strangers and became the attractive friend I've never been. There is however something that makes me feel guilty and I don't know why.. My female friends have evidently become jealous of me when their partners are around, when they thought I wasn't paying attention I heard them having a dig at their bfs for looking at me or just treating me with "too much familiarity". Sometimes when we're eating together they always want to force me to binge although they know I'm obsessed with fear of gaining weight again. They're like "you can't live like this forever l, always calorie counting" and when I'm at their place they literally put an entire box of junk food on the table knowing I'm still not able to control myself around junk food. It's been happening also when I walk down the street and see random couples, the girl is usually always scrutinizing me from head...

I fucked up, you guys. I'm M26, 6'4". I went from 300lbs - 197lbs in 2018. It was largely because of this sub. Just cico, plain and simple. I had been fat all my life. It changed my life and I became a different, more confident, hotter person. I really felt young for the first time. The last year and a half have been hell. I have been intensely depressed. I've used food to cope. I am now at 262lbs from 196 before the pandemic began. I have had some life experiences that have taught me a lot. But I also realized I need help, so in a few weeks I'm seeing a therapist for a long overdue appointment. I'm going to start healing again. Over the pandemic I learned that my previous motivations to lose weight and be fit were empty and pretentious. My motivation to get fit now has more to do with care about myself and my well being, as well as my future. This time around, I'm going to incorporate weight lifting into my routine off the bat, so I have a better sh...

Today is your Day 1? ​ Welcome to r/Loseit ! ​ So you aren’t sure of how to start? Don’t worry! “How do I get started?” is our most asked question. r/Loseit has helped our users lose over 1,000,000 recorded pounds and these are the steps that we’ve found most useful for getting started. ​ Why you’re overweight ​ Our bodies are amazing (yes, yours too!). In order to survive before supermarkets, we had to be able to store energy to get us through lean times, we store this energy as adipose fat tissue. If you put more energy into your body than it needs, it stores it, for (potential) later use. When you put in less than it needs, it uses the stored energy. The more energy you have stored, the more overweight you are. The trick is to get your body to use the stored energy, which can only be done if you give it less energy than it needs, consistently. ​ Before You Start ​ The very first step is calculating your calorie needs. You can do that HERE . This will give you an appro...

Whatever your dietary goals may be, I hope you stick to them for the next 24 hours (and then worry about the following 24!).

Okonomiyaki (translated: grilled as you like it). It’s the fuckin’ kitchen sink of veggies stuffed into a pancake. 1/2 a cabbage, an onion, garlic and ginger to taste, and then whatever the fuck else you like. Corn? In. Peas? In. Asparagus? In. Broccoli? In, but dice it. Spicy peppers? WAY in. Something in there a bit last it’s prime? Giv’r. The Mrs digs potatoes so I grated two and fired them in. The pancake-y bit to bring it together is: 1 c all purpose flour 4 eggs A good pinch of panko or tempura scraps, 2 cups stock. Dashi is preferred but I used beef last time. It’s fine. Some salt. Pinch of baking soda. Pinch of sugar. Or say fuck it and use pre mixed pancake powder to get it out of your pantry. Just make enough to give everything a good coat. For fancy-pants toppings I wizzed up a sheet of seaweed paper for sushi and tossed some bonito (fish) flakes in mayo. Hot sauce or BBQ sauce work well. Bulldog sauce is the more usual topping, but it’s like steak sauce. Dealer’...

I’ve (26/F) always had an issue with my body. I can’t count the number of times I started on some fitness and weight loss kick only to fall off the wagon a few weeks later. I tried again last February and this is the most successful I’ve ever been in terms of losing weight. Started out at close to 180lbs (I’m a 5’1”) and today (after 4 months) I weigh 143lbs. I’m worried that it’s such a lot of weight in a short amount of time but at the same time I can’t ignore the satisfaction I feel every time I see the number on the scale go down. I lost the weight mostly through major diet changes. I try to keep balanced macros but I’m still not eating enough, usually 600-800 calories a day. Eating “enough” makes me feel guilty about the food I eat. I really want to develop a more positive relationship with food. If you’ve been in my position before, what have you done or are doing to help with this mindset? submitted by /u/guacam0le_018 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit....
