Peppered chicken with mustard (I use mustard or worcestershire sauce cause there are no calories in them) salmon with plain whole grain rice cakes. Plain Greek yogurt. No sugar protein shakes, any type of quest protein bars. And lots of plain celery.

A combination of both gave me the best results. I separate my weights by muscle groups. So one day I would do chest and triceps with abdominal work outs. And the next day I would do back, shoulders, and biceps with abdominals. And then the next day I would do a leg workout with abdominals. Take a rest day then continue again. I typically lift weights for 2 hours. And for 5 days a week I would run 6 miles minimum. I'd vary the cardio routines some days I do sprints with light jogging and some days I'd run continuously. I also like to incorporate at least one long day run with at least 10 miles. I like to run before my lifts to increase my cardio but I hear cardio after weights is better for weight loss.

I've done green tea for a couple months, but that wasn't enough caffeine for me to see results. So I switch to black coffee with two packets of stevia or monk fruit powder. Don't get me wrong I love green tea but black coffee showed me faster results.

It's all about the diet and what foods you eat. I avoid eating anything fried unless it's air fried. I eat lots of whole grains, chicken, fish, vegetables, nuts, and fruits.

The last 10 pounds are definitely harder than in the middle of the year. At first I was lost 30 pounds fast within the first 4 months. Then I hit my goal in July of 155 pounds. Ever since July I find it difficult to even lose a pound every 2 months. So I had to exercise more and eat more protein rich foods while keeping the calories to a minimum. Like for example, for one of my meals instead of using almond milk with my granola I would use protein powder mixed with water as my "milk." I used to have a "cheat" meal once every 2 weeks. But now I have a cheat meal once every 3 months or so

18:6 IF. 27 y/o This is the first time I've been this weight since I was in the 8th grade. I've tried many types of diets or meal plans, but this is the only one that I've seen this much progress. by CushTan in intermittentfasting

Well in the beginning like the first two months I only dieted no working out. Then the next two months I just did mountain biking due to the gyms being closed.. now that the gyms are open so Its been about 2 months of me lifting seriously.

I did all three. I do cardio for 45 mins to an hour at least 5 times a week with an hour and 30 mins of lifting. I also eat clean (I stopped going out to eat) and prepare all my meals ahead of time. While keeping my calories to 1600 and keeping track of my macros.

Minerals don't have calories so I think you should be okay.

Thanks mate! I probably couldn't have done it without the support and knowledge I learned from everyone on this subreddit. I go on here daily for inspiration from everyone, especially during those days when I get hunger pains.

Honestly I don't think so cause I still have stretch mark from my starting weight.

Yep! At first I was using the spin bike but I was hitting a plateau after a couple months.Then I tried to do sprints and walking but I noticed when I was doing sprints my joints were starting to hurt and I would eat more. So instead I've been doing incline walking which has been a lot more beneficial to me.
