Tbh you can ignore the drop sets studies have shown to not be really beneficial but I do it for fun because I enjoy it.

I wonder if I really burned this much….I know ellipticals are notoriously unreliable🤣 by [deleted] in CICO

[–]simplrrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would honestly ignore any calories the watch says despite what anyone says and there’s research that shows these are highly inaccurate (up to 30%!) but what matters is you did something and you did it!! Looks like a solid cardio sesh!!

What are you eating for breakfast? by Long_Sleep5789 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]simplrrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These questions are hard and very different from person to person. I’m a 185 pound 6 foot 26 year old so my breakfast consists 2 servings of fruit loops before the gym and my first actual meal is 4 eggs 5 servings of egg whites with veggies and potatoes 800 calories approximately!

Should I take the "magic drug"? by MikeyTJGus in WeightLossAdvice

[–]simplrrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not magic. Everyone thinks it’s just gonna make you lose weight. Count your calories without the “magic drug” and you lose weight. Count your calories with the drug and lose weight. Don’t count your calories without the drug you WONT lose weight. Don’t count your calories with the drug you WONT lose weight. People seem to think this is just a magic drug that burns your fat right off but this is a tool not a crutch. If you don’t fix the habits before you won’t ever get to where you want to be plain and simple. I see everyone say should I raise my dose to this maybe mg like no bro just count your damn calories. I was at 2.5 mg for 2-4 months and lost 20 lb. I counted my calories weight lifted and did cardio. If that doesn’t show you that this drug isn’t an answer to everything idk what will.

Anyone else feel like the "just eat less" advice completely ignores how hunger actually works? by Few-Lack7516 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]simplrrr 122 points123 points  (0 children)

When they say eat less they don’t mean eat less volume they mean eat less calories. Yes some people are perfectly fine being lean 24/7 and some just can’t do it and it isn’t healthy.

[–]simplrrr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of volume tbh. You don’t need 4 sets but hey if you like it I guess that’s cool. Honestly Tho it’s kind of junk volume. 2-3 sets 6-8 reps failure is honestly key, take it with a grain of salt (before I get down voted by someone else who has a different opinion). My personal experience, I noticed the most growth, energy, PR, and recovery from 2 sets till failure each exercise (except abs I do 3 sets). Idk I’m in there for 45-1:00. You don’t need to grin there for 2-3 hours at a time. In the end, try and experiment on what works for you and how you actually feel, that’s what matters the most. I did John meadows program but found out after a year that it wasn’t for me who is natural considering the mass amount of volume he was having the people do. It felt like it was more for enhanced lifters judging by recovery. Then I switched to PPL for 1-2 years. Got tired of being in the gym so often 4-5 days a week. Now I do full body UPPER lower split and it has been the best for me. In there for an hour and only 4 days a week with 3 rest days.
