@dikaioumenoi There is a certain financial privilege that comes with consuming more and various types of protein products. It’s very different to meet 0.6g of protein of your bodyweight (in lbs) vs 1g. It also depends on your protein goals and probably calorie intake (you might be looking for...

@chaplain777 Bitter melon. Do I want to hate myself?

@nathan2018 I didn't set 2023 goals until recently, but work out 3x a week - done. Another goal that I didn't want to track but be mindful of was to take water breaks and quick walks whenever I could at work, also good on this. For 2024, I'm going to add 2x a week of gentle movement 20 min, as...

@blessedhope0318 This sounds similar to what I followed before, even down to the age and stats, though I had more lifting than running days in my program. It was effective in the first few months for losing weight, even without strictly adhering to the calorie limit (I did most of the time)...

@shaunf Yeah! My mom commented that I look slimmer for my current weight, compared to when I was the same weight 3 years ago. Though, granted, this time I started at a heavier weight 6 months ago and have been lifting on and off since then. Don't underestimate the effects of lifting, even at a...

@excpomelo Currently working out 3-4 days a week (mostly lifting), 8k steps 2x a week. I used to try to hit 8k a day but have less time right now. I’ve been reverse dieting and right now my weight’s been pretty stable at 1800-1900 calories, but will know more in month’s time.

@anoncord I think people would define the daily commute differently, whether as cardio or NEAT. I have heard that we can adapt to be more efficient performing any exercise over a period of time, which is why people recommend a form of progressive overload. It sounds like you are primarily asking...

@skillz One guess is you aren't used to consuming more protein and higher portions of these kinds of foods. You don't have to jump straight from 60g to 100g if it feels like you need an adjustment period. The other is it does take some trial and error at first to find what sticks, and you are...

@dikaioumenoi Honest to god, it’s hard. I am happy when I get 80g which is way more than I used to get pre-fitness so I call that a win. I did not eat well nutritionally either in my lower calorie days. That’s one of the reasons I don’t see calorie cutting being viable long term because it’s...

@uticus I do 3.0 mph at an incline of 5%, with breaks. A trainer once advised me to walk at an incline after lifting. But if I’ve taken a break, like after an injury, I start at 2.4 with no incline. Stamina is something you have to build over time, you got this OP!

@buddysmumoz I think recommending a GF diet for someone who's just asking about general weight loss advice, is way too specific. There are certainly benefits to it- I've been advised by my doctor to do so to alleviate a health condition, and there are people who straight up cannot tolerate...

@debate507 Taking a break from the diet after 10 lbs may help. Eat at maintenance, stay active.

@buddysmumoz I am doing a GF diet right now and I wouldn’t recommend it unless it’s recommended by a doctor for a medical condition. There’s so much scrutinizing over ingredients you have to do, and decline certain foods when you eat out (flour burritos, ramen, sandwiches, soy sauce!!). I also...

@medjugorje I eat a little more at the event and less the next day because I’m still full. As I got older from 20s to 30s, more people around me also became more conscious of eating healthier, enjoying walks after, or not drinking as much. If you’re doing this a lot, have a plan like lower...

@chaplain777 That sounds delicious! I've grown up on too many meals of bland congee that turned me off of all congee.

@amandasaved77 Some days I get to 7 :) Other days it's only 5-6. I've been working with a therapist and a doctor on it to narrow down on reasons.

@mj_1969 Oatmeal, congee... ugh. I can handle mush like smoothies or stew but they're flavored!

@amandasaved77 There was a time around 26 when I slept avg of 6 hours and was making gains too! Now 5-6 hours of sleep means I’m not functional for work and sluggish if I try to do a workout that’s not yoga or stretching.

@johnprin The biggest problem with TDEE calculators is there’s a wide margin of error. Typically it’s recommended to choose a calorie level (usually at maintenance or a level with exercise included) and see if your weight adjusts afterwards to see where your own maintenance range. As others...

@countrygurl32 Eating a full meal 1-2 hours before a workout with a trainer helped me do my best during the workout! I think it can help with post workout fatigue too.
