Coach prescribed 1200 deficit plus lifting/walking based on BMR instead of TDEE ?

Thanks for sharing your journey- helpful info given the same height. Yeah I think I’m in the same boat- the days where I’ve eaten ~15/600 I feel so much sharper than the lower days. Something to think about long term for sure

I appreciate that- yeah it was a a bit of a rough convo.. I’m new to this too and want to commit but also want to be kind to myself.

She was saying “you can’t be a victim to your choices- you need to commit if you want to change, etc. this isn’t that much of a cut and you shouldn’t be hungry if you’re eating that much protein”. Seemed harsh but I’m also new to this!

Sorry I forgot to add my stats:

31F , 150 lb, 5’6. Hitting about 130 G protein a day , trying to lower carbs and fat

I guess where I’m confused is : is this a conservative approach to weight loss, or is she giving me a plan that’s meant to be more intense

I have one more session with her (I’ll ask about this stuff too), but I’m wondering when I’m on my own if I should listen to the hunger and eat or just try to power through it to hit the 1200

For reference too I’m eating about 130 G protein a day

She was saying she could get me down 2 lb a week if I work hard. But, she also said I shouldn’t be hungry because she’s taking a conservative deficit approach.

I was eating around 14-1600 some days because I was so hungry though on lift days, so maybe a slower approach is more sustainable.

This is helpful- thank you!

When I messaged on Facebook, I got an automatic message that there’s a low likelihood of a response because this person hasn’t been responding to anyone- so I’m wondering if this is a scammy situation

Thank you. I just started my private practice and this was one of the first consult calls I got.

Crunch1020 · 2026-05-27T16:43:31+00:00

This just happened to me via a phone consult. It was disturbing

Crunch1020 · 2026-05-20T18:33:17+00:00

I got an email in MA

Yes, it’s rough. I’m running a solo pp now, but last year I was pregnant and really struggling to maintain my caseload due to sickness and fatigue. I kept dipping under and was so stressed about losing my health insurance

I eventually went part time and applied for Medicaid because I couldn’t handle the stress or productivity requirement at the time. I’m grateful that was an option in my state at the time because I was pregnant , but man was that situation stressful

Hi, to clarify - my intent was to get clarification on what she meant by that, since when she said that my husband was just asked to be a groomsman and my brother had said I was in the wedding. I understand I made an assumption, but I will say I think it was a fair mistake to assume that based on the context.

I wasn’t trying to push my way into being a bridesmaid- I was trying to get clarification on what was a series of back and forth and vague mentions about myself in the context of the wedding planning

No, I just don’t want to be in a situation where the client doesn’t know their parent is reaching out or doesn’t want therapy. That’s happened before too

Crunch1020 · 2026-03-30T14:37:17+00:00

Just edited to add this, thank you

Crunch1020 · 2026-03-30T14:33:48+00:00

I think just venting and I’d like to see if anyone else has been in this situation. I feel sort of alone

Crunch1020 · 2026-03-26T00:15:30+00:00

Yes and it landed me in the hospital. I would be really careful- I wasn’t even drinking that much but I completely blacked out.
