For me currently sheding some fat. Maintanence is 2200 or so, I eat 1700 or there abouts. I lose roughly 400g a week, 1.6KG a month. I plan on running this for just 90 days and I'll lose close on 5KG. It's really a doddle.
I was devastated when u put that in the black sack, I’m in Thailand for 6 months right now no macdonalds, are u joking, u wouldn’t Believe what be been eating
I personally think the compound dividend investing is the better comparison, no offense :) But I’m a bitter old who knows the lie of both home ownership and binding yourself to people legally (marriage, parenting). You never truly have the final decisions about trajectory in either of those equations, you only ever own yourself. The only guaranteed roi is when it’s sole proprietorship no obligations to unpredictable factors that have massive outside influences: nature, extended family, the system. Choose wisely.
Hi James, have you looked into sustainable fat loss and metablism when going on a aggressive route? Doesn't going too hard fck up your metabolism which makes you bounce back easier?
The BIGGEST threat if you cut your calories too low and for too long is you're going to get obsessed with food, and for a long time, and risk developing shit like binge eating. Trust me, save your time, develop good habits and sustain a small deficit.
The short answer is simply to eat more. Calorie dense foods nuts, avocados, full fat dairy, whole eggs, etc..can help you get calories up without junk food.
Fasting is trash I went down that rabbit hole last year. Lost strength muscle & didn’t get any healthier at all. I feel like fasting only works for obese people with crap lifestyles that consist of alcohol & junk food.
Yep, last year I ran for about 160,000 Calories. 210 lb 6' male. I lost... well gained 1 pound lol. I just love food. Hard to push weight loss during marathon training seasons, then I get done and just want to keep the same eating habits.
I'm autistic so saving money is easy and living like a caveman to save is easy. However, I am also a collector. So if there is something I like I must have everything and thus there is the rub. So less I engage in new things the more money I save and its rather easy to do. But if I spot a retro gaming console that is modified online that's it, I will get it and start collecting every game I can find for it. Then when it's over, I go into shutdown mode again. To prevent this spree, I managed to get some handheld devices that have every game imaginable on them, only consoles I don't have are ps3 and up. So I do my best never to read anything about them consoles. When it comes to weight loss, I'm worse than hard-core because in my brain, the pain and the misery is good fun. And I am constantly stuck in a 'must defeat my old score' mode. Where I am destroying myself more and more without end since there is nothing to stop me from doing it. 😢 I envy all you normal hummies. Making mistakes and failing once in a while sounds like fun. 😭
Dude I’m sure nobody thought about your shoes. And with the rest of you clothes you are kinda “in uniform” for trainer. Honestly you knocked it out of the ballpark. Calm, succinct, professional.
In short 5kg = 35000 (approx) calories of deficit from your daily calorie expenditure (bmr + how much you move) - remove that you remove 5kg, how long it will take that’s up to you and your metabolism and activity.
Quick tip guys, lose the belly before you hit 50. Why? Well i've spent my life yoyoing and also always having a gut. On hitting 50 I made changes I wish I made earlier. I now have lost 30KG in 9 months but have this weird bit of stuborn lower belly fat that is sort of squishy and jiggly and some loose skin with it, just a bit in the lower belly area but it's still not nice. In years gone by this area always shrank back tight but I guess I now have old ass skin that has lost its elesticity? I'm not giving up and will push through and hope it improves a bit over time?
I bet there's an incredibly strong correlation between those who are shit with money and those who are shit with fat loss. Impulse control is the real supplement we need.
As of today, I've lost 9.5kg of bodyweight (currently 79.9kg) over 77 days. Probably went slightly too fast, but at least my strength has not really decreased (some lifts are even better). My "secret" was tracking all calories & body weight for a month or two before starting my cut, using that data to calculate how much of a deficit I should be in, and then sticking to it. I'm probably lucky that my eating was pretty regimented before the cut, so it boiled down to things like "replace ice cream desert with cottage cheese", etc.
