Losing Weight Quick?

[Thick_Unit]

I think i figured out the way to get thin quick scheme?


I pretty much cut out the sugar lantern foods and started dropping 10 pounds a month
Look on the label for the word "ADDED SUGAR"

also Check the Fiber level if it says 0g it's probably not good to eat if you want to lose weight

stay away from High carbs, occasionally seems to be fine...

Stay away from juices or juicing (it destroys the Fiber and you end up with a sugar drink)


I was at 218, now i'm at 188 pounds....



Also I started exercising riding my bike 10-11 miles a day
also added another 2.5-3 miles of walking as well pretty recently..
I have not noticed any muscle mass loss or loss of strength with the weight drop

FAT IS GONE starting to get good definition and less of a jello stomach almost flat ... I have before photos it's going to look great once i have a 4 pack showing
the important part is exercising since not exercising will not help with net weight loss (you might lose like 0.2 pounds a week instead )

Losing 40 pounds in weight isn't the same as losing 40 pounds in fat thats why im asking?

And usually with diet ONLY routines you will lose weight and not the fat your after...

Mix diet and cardio like your suggesting you might get lovely leg muscles but your upper body is going to suffer.

Also without sounding like a broken record from a personal trainers point of view 1 kg a week (2.2 pounds) is regarded as the most sustainable amount to lose without risking it coming back on quick once you revert back to your previous diet or lifestyle choices..

All these fad diets are lovely for the "hollywood" (i lost this much this quick) type stuff... but the real battle is sustaining the results

The largest problem with fad dieting is 6 months later...

It's great at the time when your seeing results

Calories in VS calories out

As for this do you think in all honesty you can maintain cardio to a point were your willing to burn more than eat daily? Or at the very least burn enough calories to be in deficit for the rest of your life?

BOTH methods are great as a "fix it" thing but if you want long lasting results you will need to address a full lifestyle haul...

I know it sounds negative but it's true.

Also if you want a reference i'm happy to trade photos with you.. i've gone from 135kg (297 pounds) 114kg (current) (251 pounds) since february this year.. ( I like to hope it's mostly fat)

This has included one course of trt ( testosterone replacement therapy) and a diabetes injection pen.. (semaglutide)

I can't deny they helped but the main reason was diet and functional exercise...

""""""Or at the very least burn enough calories to be in deficit for the rest of your life?"""""""""

Being in a caloric deficit for the rest of your life would mean that at one point you will die.
You have to be in a deficit until you are satisfied with your BF% and then eating the same calories will make sure that you will maintain this BF% of your choice.

[closed297]

By deficient i mean say your aiming for 1200 calories a day you will burn 400 of those to be in the "weight loss" zone.

Obviously that calorie projection depends on daily activities lifestyle choices age and weight.

Or grow some muscles and maintain it forever?

[TeoDeles]

Growing the muscle mass will ensure that the body will be burning more calories on its own...But still eating more than you burn will put fat on the body.
