Would eating carbs once a day only make me lose weight?

[Anonymous]

Breakfast: eggs or sausage
Lunch: a complete rice dish
Snack: nuts and fruits
Dinner: meat and veggies

Is this enough for me to lose fat and not muscle? I know it's not enough for a ketosis, but I'm hoping that by lowering my carb intake, it will still be enough to burn some fat

My question is not about fucking exercise. I have zero time for exercise now so don't even start, OK? That's all I ask. Stay on topic.

Don't skip carbs, they're good for you in moderation. To lose weight you need to eat a balanced diet, going easy on the portion sizes.

Exercise is important and you must ensure that you burn more calories than you consume. Look at Fitness Blender on Youtube or maybe sign up to Team Beachbody.

There is no exact answer. If you want to loose waight your energy intake must be lower than your need. So it depends on your daily activity. And do not forget to eat balanced. You want to loose fat, not muscle, otherwise the only effect is that you get weaker.

It depends on your portion size and your amount of exercise. For breakfast I just have coffee (cream and sugar) and a piece of fruit. Lunch is usually a small bowl of soup. Snack is just Tropical Trail Mix (Walmart raisin nut and dried fruit), dinner is meat with veggies or a salad. I exercise for about 45 min once a day.

It could help, sure. Your overall calories still have to be lower than your daily expenditures in order to lose weight.

by doing slimming world as a vegetarian i'm eating a LOT of carbs and veggies.. big plates of pasta and potatoes and i've lost nearly 4 and a half stone (65lbs) in just under a year! :) why cut out one of the tastiest food groups? :D

Yes, but it's not very healthy. You will lose fat. A full keto diet is super unhealthy, as it takes a huge toll on your liver.

[Asker]

How so? I tried doing the full on keto, but had no success. So I just limited my carb intake to less than 90 g instead, or less than 70 gr on weekly average

[Luminifera]

You will lose fat, because your body needs energy, and the easiest way of getting it is from eating carbs. If you don't have carbs, your body will burn fatty acids instead of glucose, so you'll lose fat. A full keto diet is super unhealthy, because you NEED glucose to survive - and you get that from carbs. Your brain and your red blood cells only work with glucose, exclusively. So, if you're not eating any, your liver is going to bend over backwards trying to produce some out of the fat and protein you're eating. That is on top of having to turn fat and protein into ketonic bodies to fuel the rest of your body.

[Asker]

OK so eating a restricted amount of carbs is better? (No where as low as keto dieters, who eat only 30g of carbs per day)

[Zanecyber]

that sounds like a good meal plan to get with weight loss, id recommend doing some walking everyday at least an hour

How will you lose fat?
You've got to indulge in physical activity in any case with or without the diet intake.

[Asker]

No. Physically activity is just 10% of the losing weight process. Why is it that you gym rats get so obsessed with it? Most of weight loss is in the diet. Exercise just helps speed things up

[Maazin]

Lol ok ma'am.
All the best 👍🏼

No. Sorry. Low carb diets don't work like that. You have to be in a ketone if state to burn fat on a low carb diet.

You're eating carbs in all of those meals
