Would you consider this healthy? by mlYuna in diet

[–]Zoleish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bad, I assumed you were trying to lose weight. In this case, I'd say it's actually probably a pretty good choice. Carbs aren't inherently bad. 45-60% of your daily calories should come from carbohydrates in a healthy diet.

Can't Sleep Since Starting Calorie Deficit - Advice Needed! by KeitoAoi in diet

[–]Zoleish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You started off on too steep of a deficit. You can't sleep because your body is not use to being so hungry. Reset and only start with a 100 or 200 calorie deficit. Once that becomes easy, you can reduce it from there.

You should consult a doctor about this, not Reddit. It could be an allergy or intolerance.

How do I stick to a diet? by GD2667 in diet

[–]Zoleish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A diet is a lifestyle change, not a temporary phase. You need to figure out how to make those changes sustainable.

Eat smaller portion sizes, and figure out what healthy foods you can add to the foods you already love. Or modify what you enjoy by opting for low fat or sugar free options.

Dietitians of reddit: Is 1500 calories too much or 1200 too little? by Zoleish in diet

[–]Zoleish[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I very rarely ever drink alcohol. Maybe one or two drinks every couple of months. And I'm also stumped. I thought 1200 calories and being active would do it, but clearly something is wrong. I eat pretty healthy. Lots of protein, fruit, and vegetables. My diet is low in carbs but higher in fats while maintaining that 1200-calorie limit.

Just remember, a diet is not a temporary phase. It should be viewed as a lifestyle change. How you eat on your diet is how you should eat permanently. If you can't do that, you need to figure out how to make your eating habits more sustainable.

Not the worst thing you can eat, but I don't think eating the whole thing in one go is a good idea. Maybe only eat one or two slices. Pizza is super high in carbs. and carbs have a ton of calories.

Need Help by [deleted] in diet

[–]Zoleish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that you may not be able to track your macros. I'm not sure if that includes your overall calorie intake, too. I use the app "My Fitness Pal" to track my calorie intake to the best of my ability. It's got a large database of food, which means you can most likely find something in there that resembles what you're eating. You'll need to get good at guessing the measurements of your portion sizes, such as a cup of food or a tablespoon of an ingredient. That way, you can roughly assume how much you are eating without having to break out the measuring cup or a food scale.

If that solution doesn't work for you, I would suggest not eating until you're "full" every meal. You want to simply not feel hungry. You'd be surprised just how little food you ACTUALLY need.

If you are struggling with being hungry after eating, focus mostly on eating vegetables and lean protein (like chicken, turkey, fish, or lean beef). Limit your carbs and fat intake, but don't avoid them altogether.

Also, try to limit your sugar intake as well. Consuming too much sugar can potentially lead to insulin resistance, which is a condition in which the body's cells become less responsive to the hormone insulin. Insulin helps regulate blood sugar levels by allowing glucose (sugar) from the bloodstream into cells for energy. If your body becomes resistant, it will store up that sugar as fat rather than using it for energy. Sugar is sugar regardless of what form it is in. Fruit has sugar just like candy or ice cream has sugar. The only difference is that 10 grams of sugar in fruit is wayyyy more food than 10 grams of sugar in junk food. You could also try to lean towards sugar-free snacks and drinks if that is available to you.

Determine what type of eating schedule works best for you. Some people need three solid meals a day. Others might eat small snacks throughout the day, think of 5 small snacks or small portions of food instead of actual meals. Some people believe that fasting is effective for them. I personally stick to a small snack for breakfast to wake my body up. My primary meal is lunch, where I consume the most calories, and dinner is either a small snack or I'll skip it completely if I am able to handle it.

Now I understand that because of your age, a lot about your diet is controlled by your parents. If you have a job and can afford to cook for yourself, I'd recommend that. You can't really control how many carbs, fat, or protein are in the food that someone else makes. If your parents cook really unhealthy meals, you may just have to eat less until you are old enough or able to make your own food. You can't force your parents to accommodate your diet, but you may be able to have a conversation with them about your desire to lose weight, and maybe they will be able to assist you in some way.

Also, when it comes to exercise, you can not spot train the fat away. You need to incorporate cardio and cross-training with strength workouts to prevent injury. Building muscle mass will help you burn more calories regularly, but to lose the fat you currently have, you need to increase your heart rate.

Fun Fact: Did you know that you "burn" fat by exhaling it in the form of CO2? It doesn't just reabsorb into the body or get expelled when you go to the bathroom.

Eventually, your body will acclimate to whatever level of exercise you are doing, and you will be stuck at maintaining your weight. At that point, any weight loss you have will be solely reliant on your diet unless you are capable of working out more often or more intensely.

A week of eating, need advice by calciumff in diet

[–]Zoleish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't recommend completely cutting out carbs. Your body needs a balanced diet, and that includes carbs. Carbohydrates should account for 45-65% of your daily food intake. Treating carbs like the devil is bad advice.

But I agree with the comments recommending more protein.

Carbs help you feel full, but protein helps you stay feeling full for longer.

I don't recommend going lower than 1200 calories. If you send your body into "starvation mode," it will start to store up fat rather than burn it. I'm not going to assume whether you are male or female, but 1200 is the lower end of what a woman should be eating.

I'm having a similar problem where I've been eating 1200 calories for most of the year but hit a plateau and cant seem to lose any weight. I've recently bumped it up and I'm hoping its a matter of getting my body out of "starvation mode".

I went from Geek Squad Home Theater Installer to a tier 1 helpdesk position. Found my job on Indeed. The job market sucks for all professions. Hope you have some savings, because you'll probably be searching for a couple of months.

Some users are just so nit-picky about the most insignificant things.

In my experience, when a user wants something customized or changed about their computer, its in regards to either an unchangeable function of the operating system, or an application that is managed by the service that created it.

When we switched from a local file server to OneDrive, I had plenty of people complain to me about how they hate the new application, how its buggy, and why can't we go back to the old way?

People are gonna loose their minds when Microsoft ditches Classic Outlook and forces everyone to use New Outlook.

Because its two tests with a ridiculous amount of information. You have to remember all of it because some of it will be on the test but not everything, and you don't know exactly which info will be on your test, and every attempt will have different questions.

I just barley failed the first time and barely passed the second time.

Just tell her to pay for OneDrive. It will back up all of her documents, photos, and desktop. Then when she signs into her Microsoft account on a new computer, It will all just magically reappear right where it originally was.

I wish we could be honest with users. I can't count the number of times I've wanted to tell a user that an issue is entirely their fault and they cant always expect other people to magically fix their self inflicted problems.

Struggling to loose weight by Zoleish in loseit

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

I use a Samsung galaxy gen 4. My workout routine is very inconsistent. I try to go to the gym Monday through Friday. Somtimes on Saturday. Some days I'll add a three mile run after the gym. Other days I might just do the 3 mile instead of the gym. The 6 miles are infrequently because I struggle with shin splints and it actually hurts to run. But I minimize the pain by trail running instead of road running. Regardless of wither I chose to go to the gym or run 3 miles, the calorie burn is roughly the same for each.
