That part about feeling tired and hungry all day everyday rings a bell. Found out what my low limit is in that manner. I started at 1750 cals/day of food and was burning 2500 cals/day to achieve a 1.5-lb-loss per week. It was working. And then I thought of what happened if I went down to a consumption of just 1500 cals/day, while maintaining the same target of calorie out of 2500 cals/day. I was thrilled with the initial results. I was losing 0.8 to 1 lb a day which, in the past, would have taken me nearly a week or a full week to lose. And then I started feeling lethargic. I was not losing weight. That's when I realized going down from 1750 cals/day of consumption to 1500 was too much. I pulled my caloric intake to 1650 to 1700 cals/day and now back on track. :)

So honest about the Hunger Thank you. You know your stuff well.

I am in a calorie deficit for sure. I am lean now, just working on minor remaining belly fat but I don’t count my calories, I eat healthy 99% of the time. I strength train and see tremendous results. I am much stronger now. Everything you spoke of I do, I tried to do everything in a healthy sustainable way. Most of all I have learnt of so much healthy foods. I am in love with my journey!

[grasyah]

i tried Calorie deficit (100-500) 50 days ago (base on the app I tried), so far I lose 2kg without feeling week and starving, it maybe slow but doesn't feel bad

[miap.]

Thank you for breaking it down🙏❤! I've been excerising 4 to 5x mixtures of strength train, HIIT and yoga. I have gotten stronger but didn’t change my eating habits since I started my workout journey 2.5 years old. Now, im realizing pre and pro workout fluid is very important to get to my result that I want. So, Adding on the health meals journey. Where healthy calories deficit to lose few pounds to be more defined shape.

I am currently **76kgs, male, 29 years old, 5 feet 10inches(178cms height**). I have been on a constant diet of between **1200 - 1500calories/day** for the last one month to lose **3kgs from 79kg**. I have been eating healthy majorly and my macros would look like averaging **130 - 180gms carbs; 50 - 80gms protein, 30 - 50gms fats, 20 - 30gms fibre daily**. Also my workouts were home-based, including **5000 steps walked daily (250cals burned), mix of weight lifting, belly exercises, pushups, skipping for a total of 500 cals average burned daily.** My goal is to reach a healthy BMI weight of **70kgs** so I need to lose another **6kgs **atleast. But most importantly i have a wary of **belly fat 36inch waist** which protrudes and bothers me to get on this weight loss journey. My aim is to reduce the belly fat to **below 32 inches**. I don't have any other fat except belly fat as I have a slim body overall. I have also been drinking **green tea, ginger lemon water** to boost my journey and incorporated slight **intermittent fasting** hours of **14 - 16hrs daily**. Despite being on heavy caloric deficits and intense workouts, I am able to lose **3kgs** but my** belly still protrudes**. How can I improve myself? As per maintenance I will require at least **2500 cals** to maintain weight with moderate to intensely active, so im constantly cutting around **1500 to 1800cals(including 500cals for workouts) but as per my weight stats, it shows i have been only losing 6000cals weekly average(0.75kg, if 7700cals=1kg lost) in the last month to attain 3kgs lost from 79 to 76**. I eat breakfast around **11 - 12pm, lunch in between, and dinner max by 9.30pm**. I track all my calories quite accurately using **healthifyme app** so what am I doing wrong. Is there any other ways to accelerate my weight loss process as i wanna cut disturbing **belly fat** first. Don't seem to be building that much muscle either as my workouts are mostly cardio** based. **Also most my meals are delivered from healthy restaurants via **swiggy/zomato **as** I dont**** have a kitchen in the house to cook my meals. No sugars/minimal salt/No junk/no milk.**
My meals would look like - **ragi dosa/oatmeal with nuts, grill chicken breasts/chicken soups, cucumber/carrot salads, khichdis, max 2-3whole wheat rotis daily, fruits(apple, mango, guava, pears). Please suggest me if I can improve my workouts/diet(sorry for long essay)**🙏

I’m 5’5 and Im 254 and I want to lose weight but idk how to start my calorie deficit please help me, I work 4-5 times a week, and im always moving around and on my feet at work. How many calories should I stay in between and eat so I can lose weight 💞

[dashaiatsenko]

After being in a cal deficit for a while and lose some fat, do u increase ur calories again? Because u can’t be in a deficit forever, ur metabolism will slow down. Looking forward to hearing from u, always wondered about this 🙏🏼😊

[gagavisnjic]

Michelle, i see that I am gaining muscle like crazy, but never to appear leaner! If i eat less I look like I lost muscle, like skinny fat, never firm and lean with vains out! What in the world I am doing wrong!? I am so strong, I almost stopped cardio completely and I lift like a beast, I do megareformer pilates, reformer, yoga, running, but not as much as I was doing before. So why I cannot acheive that lean physique? i feel big and I would love to see that my jeans are bigger on me, but no.. all I see is that my legs in my jeans are thight and small! I am
Only 130 lbs and 5’8” but still I have so so much fat on me, I do not get it why? Shoild I stop eating completely? How come those people eat OMAD ( one meal a day) and they look lean and You are saying to eat a lot of protein!? Is it possible for some people 1g per pound of weight is too much? My goal is to be lean and strong, with paper thin skin and visable vains, i do not want to be bulky! Tell me what should I do i beg you!
Thank you a million 🙏💜

[Carnelian]

My question is about how calorie restriction slows your metabolism. How do you lose weight and battle this? Should you cycle between maintenance and a deficit?

[meraribenlevi]

So can you eat lets say 2000kcal and burn 500-600kcal per day through exercise and still be in a calorie deficit?

[jenniferbrook]

Ive been on my weight loss journey for 4 months now, i know i need to be more patient but ive been putting in hard work & i'm really feeling defeated. I am practicing progressive over load / weight training 3x a week, all im noticing is my biceps toning with no other body recomp progress. im 5'5 197 pounds and i meal prep, i try to prioritize protein and double veggie meals. I eat less than 1900 calories a day. idk what im doing wrong. i track everything in myfitnesspal. i wouldve thought within 4 months i wouldve lost alittle weight by now.

[UndarmaaGurbazar]

Hi Michelle and all, how long does it take it to start seeing the scale go down? I want to lose only weight for a little before l start body recomposition. My TDEE is abt 2500 and l have been eating 1500-1800 range. Perhaps l’m being impatient but it has been over a wk since l started tracking my macros/calories, but l see no change on the scale yet 😅 wondering if l need to be more diligent with counting calories on my fitness pal. Thank you in advance! 😊

[Wolfteafolk]

How do I know what my calorie deficit is? Like numbers.

[indi]

depends on what the scales say. i don't want to be 80kg of muscle.... 65kg it what i desire and everything suggests. i feel myself getting stronger, but my arms are getting bigger... i need them smaller. there's a fair bit of fat hanging off them... would this mean food or needing a bit more cardio? im stressed it might be the fat arm fat leg syndrome. has a name but....

[rosea]

I’m 5’2 and started at 204 pounds, now I am 198. I have 1300 calories a day but I am not sure that’s enough. I want to lose 2 pounds a week, 50 pounds total.

[hannaartibey]

Hello I have a question in the my fitness pal app if I don’t pay for the premium how am I able to put my exact calories that I need for my deficit ? I’m suppose to have 2, 000 but my app says 2, 400 so it also doesn’t make my protein goal right 🤷🏻‍♀️ please help if you can
