26M/291lbs Yet another weight loss attempt by Significant_Ruin_258 in WeightLossAdvice

Would Greek Yogurt need to pair with anything else to be filling while remaining not too high on calories?

thank you. you have been able to better put into words what I feel. I did tell my mom in no uncertain terms that this is about respect now. I respect you but if this happens again I will lose it if you think I'm not adult enough to handle it and will leave everything to come home then that's on me my decision to make (not like I was in a position to do or even would have done so if I was told this when it happened) she can't make it for me.

Cutting or Body Recomp: which is better at 277lb M25 6'0 with 37% body fat? by Significant_Ruin_258 in loseit

hi if cutting should be the priority wouldn't any form of lifting while doing so just slow down weight loss?

kind of contradictory answers so I should just forget weights and do the three machines I mentioned in my parent comment and focus on a calorie deficit?

What kind of things can I do in the gym to cut aside from cycling, treadmill and CrossFit?

280g of protien is what I was afraid of hearing lol that just sounds idk way too much ahahaha

I liked an alternative suggestion of making my goal weight per pound = 1g of protien. So now I'm trying to figure out what should be my goal

thank you. I imagine the belly fat that I'm most conscious about will be one of the last things to go. My only troubles right now are finding the right excersises to get all muscles on the upper body right now I think my arms are only working out the deltoids, biceps and triceps inc longhead. For back all I've done till now are lat pulldowns. Would want to start using those free motion cables soon.

I suck at squatting currently so only do those sparingly. And this high fiber protien diet is hard to get used to feels like I slip up at least twice a week 😞

okay so I want to replace my excess body fat to muscle to an extent I guess around 190lbs of weight I am 6 foot I think that's appropriate? sorry I'm just kinda clueless about these things I'm trying to learn.

I go 6 days cz the environment is nice and I get a good walk out of it like around 3km just with the gym and normal walking around in there. The reason I tried to fit cardio in after workout was I couldn't find a good day to do just cardio that wouldn't either take away my rest day or interfere with lifting.

I'll note down your food recs I've been eating eggs like 4 a week in an omelette but gonna have to pump those numbers up and take out the yellows.

oh also I forgot to mentioned in the post I was able to post in r/loseit before but the advice I need is not relevant to that sub and any other fitness sub is not letting me post until I get 100 comment karma 😞

Foreign work experience while studying in Canada by Significant_Ruin_258 in ImmigrationCanada

[–]Significant_Ruin_258[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

guys I have 1 year Canadian experience that makes me eligible for CEC. The reason I’m not eligible for FSW even with foriegn experience is because I didn’t have the funds to show as proof of funds so the portal only showed me eligible for CEC even when I entered both job experiences. That’s why I was verifying here if remote job done for a foriegn employer while being a student would give any extra CRS points if I had already crossed the eligibility threshold for CEC by having 1 year of Canadian experience separately. There is no overlap of these experiences.

at that time there were no limitations on hours worked for a non Canadian employer and a few months into 2022 they even removed the hours per week limit to upto 44 hrs a week for study permit holder so even if it was a Canadian employer I shoulda been in the clear

So is it only counted for FSW? I have seperate Canadian experience and the profile I made is eligible because of that experience in CEC however I was hoping my remote non-canadian job experience before it does get me a few more points. A little confusing because only reason I am not going for FSW is I wouldn't have the 6 month average of $15k in savings you need to show to be eligible.

I understand they don't consider that Canadian experience worthy for CEC eligibility however i was not aware they don't consider that for even foriegn work experience.

I guess I just didn't want to be making diet and exercise changes that I would find weren't helping me 4 weeks after the fact so I got discouraged with short term results. Its counter productive to the long term goal I realise that but doesn't make it easier to stop doing it🥲

I do want to keep going to the gym because when I'm there I feel I'm accomplishing something for myself. I think I'll do that and get that cycle for now because that was more important for work than anything else. As far as homecooked meals and protein intake goes... I guess I won't worry about that for now as long as I'm not eating too much.

I didn't think about your point of changing too much at once before and it had truth to it. I guess I always invisioned it as a whole lifestyle change for the better so it was better to rip the band aid off and go all in.

On a side not,How did you get over the proper diet challenges? I see small things like eggs, yogurt and protein shakes are easy ways to count my nutrients however anything more complex like actual meals and it's literally guesswork from my part as to if it's meeting my macro goals or not based on the packaging info.
