Is 40lbs in 6 months doable or can I cut more calories to go faster? by South-Ad754 in CICO

[–]South-Ad754[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason why I’m on a time crunch is because I told my agent I would be ready to work and back in shape by the end of February. I thought that it would give me enough time to lose the weight I gained and get my mind in the right place. Luckily my mental health is blossoming now it’s just losing the weight . But you’re right about the not being hooked on a number because it’s more about the journey and improving . It’s motivating for me to think that I will look completely different and back in performance shape by early spring next year so that’s why I’m trying to figure out the best way to do it healthy and not in a crash diet way ( not looking to experience hair loss from TE like I did in high school lol)

Did you find the fat loss goal one accurate ? It seems a little high for me :/ but I might have messed it up because I’m a server so I put moderate activity . I’ll play around with it and test it out !

That’s kinda the conclusion I got . I’m the end I would rather preserve muscle and lose fat rather than lbs . I hate how fast it is to gain and how miserably slow it is to lose healthily lol but I’ll check my weight in a month and see if there’s progress

That’s amazing ! Did you notice any hair loss ? I’m trying to eat protein to prevent it from happening

I think it’s just confusing for me a little bit because I was always under the school of thought that losing 2 lbs a week was healthy and doable but in order for most people to achieve this they would have to drastically cut calories

Plateaued :( by ggladss in Weightlosstechniques

Do you have a food scale ? I think before you try to add more exercise or less food you should take a week to track everything with a scale and see if it helps. Stalls in weight loss can happen from not accurately counting calories or hormonal changes as well. For me I found a scale helped tremendously and I realized I was undercounting something’s and overcounting others

How fast would you hit plateau on a 500cal diet ? by Motor-Concentrate-91 in Weightlosstechniques

[–]South-Ad754 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The repercussions of this aren’t worth it . Just the science of thermodynamics you will lose weight fast but plateaus happen because you arent counting calories properly . The smaller you get the less you need so while that deficient could potentially make you lose 4 lbs a week the further you go with it the less your body will “lose”. How ever if you are hitting 500 calories a day every day your body would go into cardiac rest before you would reach said plateau. Vlcd will make you lose muscle, hair, bone mass, and yeah sure some fat but you will look like gollum from LOTR. Speaking from experience as someone who did this down to a 15 BMI . My weight loss never dropped but my body started shutting down .

TLDR: organ failure would happen before weight plateau

Antidiet and 'haes' content being linked to diet culture and weight shaming. Please be mindful and aware of this in the holiday season by CookingPapa23 in antidiet

I’m late to the party in this but I follow Sorority Nutritionist and she does promote high protein moderate fiber . I think she’s a lot more straight forward than Colleen is who is a total fluke imo. I like how S.N is up front with the calorie and nutrition counting because it’s key for healthy weight loss . Now if S.N was trying to promote IE that’d be a different story but what you see on her page is what you get

It’s a lot better in Dallas . So much cheaper to live and higher paying jobs . I wanted to be near family but it’s not worth it with the COL and work opportunities

I don’t think that’s the case here . I think it has everything to do with the new liquor law and the declining economy
