What is the best diet advice you would give to someone looking to lose 50 pounds?

[PikaFurBoy]

Hi everyone just wondering but what is some diet advice you can give someone looking to lose about 50 pounds?

[Sonorous]

Download an app called "myfitnesspal" & log your body information (age, weight, activity level, etc) to find your caloric maintenance. Once you find what your caloric maintenance is, reduce your calorie intake by no more than 1000 calories & slowly make healthier food choices to add more low calorie, high nutrient, & dense foods.

But keep in mind that the slower you lose the weight, the better. I personally prefer a 300-500cal deficit. Because the faster you lose weight, you're more likely to lose muscle mass & deviate from the diet & gain it all back.

Here are some good things to implement as well like:

• Prioritize protein & divide it through the meals of the day. You'll want around 0.5 to 1 gram per lb of body weight each day. Since you're losing weight I recommend eating more protein since your body will be taking in less nutrients than normal. Plus a high protein diet boosts metabolism, reduces appetite and changes several weight-regulating hormones.

• Intermittent fast around your sleep cycle. I recommend starting slowly. Like fast for 10-12 hours (don't eat a couple to a few hours before or after bed)

• Know when the best times to eat sugar & carbs are relative to your activity level, vulnerabilities, your goals, etc

• Do low-intensity steady-state cardio (Liss). Something as simple as walking, biking, swimming for 20 minutes each day.

If you're like me & love to snack around the later hours of the night, you definitely should eat high protein & high fiber meals as your last meal of the day. They will allow the body to feel more full for longer periods since they digest slowly.

Don't try to do it too fast. Shoot for a balanced loss, slow and steady, about 2-4 lb/week is good, so 50 lb you are looking at about 3-4 months.

Cut out sugar and carbs, eat lots of fiber and protein. Fat is good, too, don't avoid it and don't get caught in the myth that eating fat makes you fat. Your body breaks everything down, and usually makes fat out of sugar.

[bonster1984]

Cut out carbs and sugar for 2 months and you will see a big difference. And you will see an even bigger one if you add walks every other day. Also drink a lot of Gatorade zero to stay hydrated and that will also help you let go of any extra water weight. If you change just doing those things, you will get to where you want and then you will find it easier to maintain the weight you want. And now that winters coming do exercise videos at home, even for 30 min a day. You will start spring off looking how you want to for sure!

[Ninani]

Don't be afraid to be hungry, because you will be. A lot.
Fill up on vegetables and low fat proteins.
Drink sugar free drinks for a sweet treat.
Don't blame yourself too much for messing up or falling in, because there will be days that are harder than others. Just get back on track the next day.

[siseñor]

work out your maintenance, do 200 kcal less than that. do strength training at least 3 times a week & start doing some form of cardio. eat clean foods that involve less complex carbs & eat enough protein depending on ur exercise. ur goals will change over time too depending on ur weight & boyfriend, so make sure to update ur diet & exercise structure every now & then


also don't b upset if u mess up, just keep the ball rolling, it'll only roll a little slower.

[Cryptoanonne]

This might seem radical but trust me I've made massive improvements over the course of a few years: intermittent/full fasting, reducing carbs or even having 'no-carb' days, putting more fat into your diet like olive oil, nuts, and oily fish, and just getting more sunlight. Reply or message me if you want more deets, Id be happy to help you get more info

[Paulychicago10]

There is a book out there called eat right four your type. Its a book on what your blood type can eat and your acid in your stomach can break down properly. It's gives other ideas to help maintain your wanted weights and workouts for your type of blood. Its very useful

[Qdbrown]

Intermittent fasting, real food, and exercise.

Check with your doctor before you do it. You definitely want to check your blood pressure and might be smart to check heart health.

[Jessica405]

Don't go for a fad diet! They do not work long term, and usually lead to yo-yo dieting. Just count calories. Go for low fat products. Don't pile your plate!

[Jessica405]

... and increase your exercising, especially walking, jogging or running.

[scooogy]

@Jessica405 why would a girl like you get in need for a diet? 🤔

[Jessica405]

@scooogy It was my brother that had to diet. He was getting on for 200 lbs. Last few years he is about 160.

[scooogy]

@Jessica405 I knew that you wouldn't need a diet 🤗

[Jessica405]

@scooogy LOL! Just the opposite!

[t-8900]

i'm doing keto and doing great. But i like meat so it works

[Jessica405]

@t-8900 Can you keep it up for the rest of your life? Just about every fad diet gets given up after a few years. That's when the weight piles back on. Beware, too, of cholestrol levels going through the roof later in life.

[t-8900]

its actually easy for me. My hypertension went down with Keto. I'm the healthiest I've been in many years. And yes it's easy because I prep my own food. When I want pizza, tacos, steak, or bacon and eggs I can have it and those are my favorite foods. I make a keto bread from almond and flax seeds that took getting used to but now white bead just tastes like... nothingness. So I'm good haha. Oh and I still get my salads so I'm super duper extra happy! ^^

[Jessica405]

@t-8900 Keep it up!

[t-8900]

@Jessica405 oh yeah will do! Still miss pie and cheesecake. Maybe my girl will make me my favorite cheesecake when I come visit her. Cherry is my favorite @Funnygirl1500 ;)

Do the change that feels comfortable to you at the moment being. Once you get there, making the next becomes easier.

Like stepping up a ladder, the upper step becomes more feasible with each step you take.

[Wester1967]

Vegetarian and vegan plus light exercise. No alcohol. No soda. No chocolate.


If that’s a bridge too far, call me back after your heart surgery. Good luck

[Squiggles88]

My advice would be to think more about nutrition. Nutritional food is healthy food. You will look and feel much better.

[jennifer_bloom]

I recommend either nothing except vegetables for 7 days and doing that once every 2 months, 6 times a year.

[bamesjond0069]

Eat healthy foods. Fruit smoothies salads a steak. Thats all good stuff. Stop with processed shit and fried stuff. Then you can pig the fuck out. Also lift weights. And do some HIIT cardio once in awhile. Weight will fly off you.

[Aimée__LJ]

Stay consistent and be patient. Weight loss takes time. You may get frustrated and want to give up but keep going

[HighValue]

Exercise instead. Ride a bike until you can do 25 mile rides and then do that every week.

[Anonymous]

Drop all grains
Drop all "refined" sugars
More veggies cabbage, broccoli spinach
Eat lean meat and add more seafood
Cur down on red meat.
Add 2 mile run 5 days a week and some street training.
Smoothies and soups.

[collie22]

read the book, eat fat get thin. Then you can know how it works

[Iron_Man]

Don’t give up and get out and do a little bit of exercise each and every day

[OlderAndWiser]
