I have already lost 30 pounds just counting calories. I had a number of days there where I didn't count my calories but didn't end up gaining weight. But the overall picture is that over time, I did reduce my calories.

Hello I've just found your videos and I'm glued, could you please give me advice, I'm on 1200 calories a day, I have apps on my phone where I scan what I eat to tell me its nutritional value including calories, I'm strict with it obviously including tea and coffee, oils and sauces I use etc, I have another app synched to it that says how many I burn from walking so it then gives me extra calories, I can earn but don't often use up, my weight goes down then up then down every day though, it goes up by 2lb when I don't even go over my calories, it goes up after I've walked 8 miles too, my legs are hurting so bad as I've been walking so much to loose these last few pounds, but the scales went up 2lbs after I've been more strict this week, I was happy as almost reached my goal then the next day it was 2lb over and it is today too, it could be water weight how do I stop that, I'm lacking in fibre and protein according to the app, so I eat fruit but that's full of sugar and lots of calories so now what, I started eating grains as I'm newly vegan but they are quite high in salt especially because they're horrible without sauce lol, stuff high in protein that's vegan seems high in salt which causes water retention, what do you suggest? Is it true that walking many miles a day causes micro tears in muscles that your body retains water to repair causing weight gain? I'm hungry and always think of food and I should be dropping the weight off as I hardly eat and walk so much

I weigh 234, eating 1500 net calories after exercise NET CARB 18-20, carefully measured. Once, I did something I swore I never would do, I got a 90 day supply of Phentermine. I cut Calories to 1000 and lost half a pound, dropped to 900 calories and lost 1 pound, when I was eating 725-765 net calories after exercise I lost 2 -2/12 every week. I went from 234 to 211, after getting off the Phentermine I went back to 232. I carefully measure food portions with a scale and used NOOM to make sure I ate mostly green foods and some yellow ones. 2 weeks ago I went back to Atkins and am following AGAIN to the letter and have lost 1 lb per week. What am I doing wrong?

[megberg]

Do you think the Inbody scales are accurate.

I recognized that after losing 4 kg I reached a weight where it is difficult to lose more even if I restricted my nutrition zu 1300 kcal which is not much for me without getting tired and headaches. So I think it was even hard for me in younger years to keep up to 65 kg, I was most of the time hungry. So I think by a height of 174 cm, 55 years old, and very wide shoulders and strong legs it may be that it is not possible for me to reach the proposed weight of 63 to 65 kg ... it may be too little to feel good. I see women same height like me but very much smaller shoulders and waistline. So I think also the focus alone on the weight maybe very frustrating. And if I don't feel any longer vital and am getting headaches, I think it is not worth while. At the moment I am staying at 69 kg for three weeks now. No change, despite I have reduced the calories and am still working out everyday. 4 times weights, once a week Ashtanga Yoga plus almost daily walking and going by bike. More is not possible. I am weighing everything and counting with an app.

@IvanaChapman can you please help me how do I know what calories i need to be under for my body to be in a deficit?

[danielchavez]

When you say go the doctor if you are not losing weight, what do ask them to check?

[ArgentinaCook]

Please talk about petite short women. I am 4’11” and 1200 is so hard and I know I need even less to see results.

[MadeByChance]

Airtight, I have a specific question, but I think based on what you've said and some of the other questions here, I gotta give you a lot of details to be able to help me. 😁

I'm 34, 5'9", male, and weigh about 181lbs. I've never had a specific diet, but from occasionally tracking macros my average was about 2200-2500 calories a day and about 40% carbs, 30% protein, 30% fat. Not trying to lose weight, this got me to a pretty stable 172 lbs for a long time.

My activity level has changed over the last couple years due to some life changes (new job, new born, etc.). My weight has since increased to around 180 and in the last few months jumped up to around 185 (last couple months workout time has been reduced to like 10% of what it was).

I've decided to make some diet changes to kick start some weight loss since it might be a few more months before I can start a good workout regime again. I've targeted 1850 cal/day on a low carb, high protein diet. I'm also trying intermittent fasting to kickstart the results (16-8, basically cutting out breakfast and doing a late lunch and regular dinner). In the first two weeks I've dropped about 5lbs.

And finally my question! :) If I cheat this diet on the weekends, likely just Saturdays (social and peer pressure is real...), should I expect it to ruin any gains the other 5-6 days of the week? Also, I don't really want to maintain the 16-8 intermittent fasting long term, but should I expect to gain weight once I stop it even if I maintain the same daily calories?

Do you offer 1:1 coaching still? Not just the academy?

[dianacolin]

I was 223 got too 153 but went to a reverse diet and gained 9 pounds now weight 160 how many calories should i cut

[Cof]

No gluten and no dairy could be very relevant, especially if she has Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. Let's not assume gluten and dairy free is "irrelevant" for everyone.

[Marc-Tu]

My body composition is changing with a good diet and exercise, and there's obvious fat loss but I'm not losing weight.

[aqsaimran]

Can someone eat as much as they want and exercise and burn it?

[talhatariq]

Hey...!
Hope you are doing great

I have a situation and Need some guidance:

I weighed 82 Kilos 4 months ago. I lost 5 kgs in two months by doing calories deficit and cardio( planks, high raised, belly excercises) on daily basis.
I cut down from 82 to 77 kilos and then I joined the gym. I started to do 70-90 minutes workout 6 days a week while maintaining 1000-1100 calories a day. I lost 3 kgs in a month and weighed 74 kg. But in the last month, I kept on doing same routine and I just lost 1 KG in last month. Now I am really exhausted and worried that with the same routine I used to lose 3 KG a month and now I only lost 1 KG in a month. I really want to know where am I mistaken?

My current diet and workout routine is as follows:

Calories intake : 1000-1100
On cheat days( almost 3 days a month I would take 1500-1600 calories)

Workout routine: 55-65 minutes gym - 6 days a week.

And One important thing is I am feeling like I am gaining muscle ( Chest, arm and shoulder), I am lifting almost 3x heavier than I was lifting at start.

Your comment and guidance on this would be highly appreciated.

Thanks and have a beautiful day

Can i just point out that Irish soda bread does NOT have olive or any oil in the recipe. ☘️🇮🇪

[YamatoForever]

Will 40 years of yo yo dieting hurt my metabolism? I figured since turning 18 I've gained 320 pounds and lost 375. I was 300 pounds last year (I'm 6'5"). I lost 30 pounds in 6 months so down to 270. I was eating about 2000 calories and stopped losing weight. And have maintained the same weight for 8 months. I started doing keto on a little more calories (2200) and I've lost 7 pounds in 2 weeks. What is going on?

[vickisanders]

Doesn't it also depend on how many calories she was taking in before she started her weight loss journey. For example, 2, 400?

ONE MEAL A DAY works for me just fine,
