@lt11 Yeah that calorie and take is probably good, everybody have known who’s done new has been put at 1000 to 1200 which is obviously stupid and ridiculous LOL. I guess I’m not sure what advice you’re looking for if you’re not willing to try another type of exercise, most people I know who feel...

@evanea It’s a TikTok trend. It’s not any more effective for weight loss or building cardiovascular endurance than any other type of cardio, but it’s still good for you and if you enjoy it, go for it

@traciethered I’m sorry I’m not really sure what you’re asking. My BMR is 1350 and between NEAT and exercise calories I burn about 700 calories a day, so my maintenance is 2000.

@lt11 I think probably what you need is more a focus on recomposition and building muscle. Saying you can pinch fat all over your body isn’t necessarily a great gauge of how much fat you have. I can do that at 17% body fat. If you’re able to get a body fat percentage assessment that might give...

@evanea Chloe tings workouts are horrible. She’s not a personal trainer, she makes up exercises that look cool but honestly ridiculous and ineffective, and what she’s doing is not beginner friendly at all so it has a really really high rate of injury. She has made millions off of praying on...

@excpomelo I’m 4’11 and maintain 18%ish body fat on 2000 calories a day. I lift 5x a week and do a half hour of yoga or cardio 3-4x each a week. I feel HORRIBLE on anything less than 1700

@romanseight2005 I had a lot of health issues while I was underweight and after which my doctor attributed to malnourishment. I also have endometriosis and the symptoms because substantially worse after, my endo doctor believes the stress trigged more endo growth and symptoms

@efosa Bulking and cutting requires a lot of dedication and it can be really hard on your body. A lot of people don’t really care what’s fastest, they care what fits the best with their lifestyle and feels the best for them. There are also a lot more things to consider than simply just...

@warlord4747 Definitely see a doctor due to the rate of weight gain—but it is completely normal not to see change on the scale after just 21 days. No reason to panic about that. It just takes more time.

@blindfaith101 I’m glad to hear that you’re going to a doctor, but your edit is EXTREMELY concerning. Not only is that an unrealistic goal as only athletes have body fat percentages that low, you’re also missing the point: you should absolutely not give one second of thought to your body fat...

@markfred I’ve had surgery 7 times and it’s absolutely NOT true that there is a huge difference on your fitness level after just 2 weeks!!!! I usually take at least six weeks off and the biggest issue is I’m just really sore when I get back into lifting. Don’t stress. Just make sure you’re...

@blindfaith101 Please go to the doctor. Being this underweight can be very dangerous for your health, and having a distended stomach at just 88 pounds could be indicative of some major health issues. I had permanent damage to my internal organs from being this underweight as a teenager. You...

@virtualhope Read through the wiki on r/xxfitness. I think you may be falling prey to some misconceptions, which are negatively impacting your ability to get the change that you want. First, you cannot sculpt a human body. We are people, not pottery. Using and understanding the correct...

@lpt Low intensity steady state cardio is VERY important to overall health, regardless of weight loss

@lovelysoul13 Definitely pick a program designed by a certified personal trainer instead of trying to come up with something yourself

@atheistone As someone has already stated, it is extremely difficult to maintain a calorie intake this low for an extended period of time. This is one of the reasons why sedentary weight loss has a success rate of less than 5%. Incorporating structured exercise is not only absolutely essential...

@perrin The most important thing is that you seek some support to help you on this journey if you find that calorie counting has been detrimental to your mental health in the past. If you have had disordered eating problems before, there is a big chance you will struggle with that again...

@didyousaysomething Unfortunately the medical impacts from under eating are likely what is causing your issues. So I don’t think anyone here can really help you. This is a doctor question

@didyousaysomething Have you talked to your doctor? Unfortunately, it can take a very long time to undo the damage that eating at an extremely low calorie intake like 900 cal does to your body. It’s very possible that the fat you were gaining is necessary for your health if you restricted for a...

@daniel4confusion I cannot think of a single exercise to recommend for you even if I did feel like that was safe to do. I deal with hypermobility myself, and I’ve never heard of someone not being able to do any stretches. I don’t see how you would possibly do any sort of resistance training with...
