@corgigal Could be that you've reached a weight where your body is content and healthy, so it's trying to stay at that weight. But the way to lose weight is the same as always, track your calories and make sure you're burning more than you're taking in. Maybe up your cardio to give yourself a...

@queso I loooooove this show

@langley7 Its probably activity level. She could be working out more often, getting more steps, etc

@ilovegod123 I don't eat dairy, and dont eat meat either unless I go out to eat. I mostly get my protein through vegan protein powder and "no cow" bars (dipped only, the other ones arent great), but also pea milk, eggs, beans, nuts, etc. Hemp hearts are an awesome way to add some healthy fats +...

@g3ntl3w4rri0r Running! Its the most freeing feeling in the world. Yoga is nice by itself but lifting I do solely to keep running injury-free

@jace151982 What a fun reason! And yes, diet will go a long way and it is really hard to get in order. Do you currently meal prep, or do you cook every night? Shifting to a "meal prep sunday" made a huge difference in staying consistent with my meals

@kingsolomonskey Well apparently it's because the CEO used to run a blog where he listed these recipes and always got comments that it was "too much effort" to make them, so he founded a company to make them!

@nonconformist88 Whenever Ive trained for a marathon, I put on like 5lbs. Its a common phenomenon. Its just such intense training, and endurance training necessitates that you resupply your body with carbs/glycogen. Eating in a deficit while training pulls you in different directions, you won't...

@kuysniks You only need 100-200 calories over maintenance to build muscle, and 0.72g/lb of protein (0.8g/lb at the most) which would be about 85-95g at your weight edit to add the study showing 0.72 g/lb (1.6g/kg) is as much protein as needed for muscle growth and maintenance...

@efosa Recomping for me is more consistent with building sustainable habits and helping to shift my mindset towards the long term instead of the short term. It also makes more sense to recomp 1. If you're just starting out lifting and 2. If you're already at or close to a healthy weight

@ebarnes My husband and I have a whole line in our budget (and a shelf of our pantry) dedicated to protein supplements/running hydration products. It's crazy. But in a way it's investing in your health and preventing medical bills later on because it encourages you to work out and focus on your...

@mahhko Build the habits you need for the life you want. Pick a day each week to grocery shop and meal prep so you always have your meals planned ahead of time. Build activity into your day via walking. If you don't have an exercise routine start working out 3x a week. Even when I have weeks...

@thea3 Nope. 0.8g/kg is the minimum protein required for a sedentary lifestyle according to the WHO. If the goal is building muscle/recomp, 0.8-1g/lb is the number to go by

@judy123 No worries at all! The best thing is just to start somewhere, don't let "perfect" be the enemy of "good" and all that. I think if youre already walking so much, weightlifting or even just bodyweight routines to build strength will go a long way. The weight loss will come in time, but...

@judy123 Definitely not too much, really you should aim for minimum 0.8g/lb of bodyweight, 1g/lb if possible

@aventador You're already a perfectly healthy weight and trying to get to an unhealthy weight in an unrealistic timeframe. Losing weight isn't the best way to lose fat. Instead, focus on eating enough calories (youre doing moderate activity) and building muscle. You only just started in January...

@dasheek Youre overthinking this. If the cheat day works for you, you don't need a recovery week, but otherwise replace the cheat day with a week at maintenance. They're both just ways of making eating at a deficit more bearable over a long period of time while you lose weight.
