If I want to lose weight how low am I supposed to go? when do I stop?

[Anonymous]

When’s the end? Do I keep trying to lose weight after my goal and keep going?

And does anyone know if eating stuff like, fruits, vegetables, rice, tofu, oatmeal and cottage cheese js a good diet for wl?

There are a few things to consider when figuring out how much weight to lose and when to stop:

1. A healthy BMI is generally a good goal. For most people, aiming for the lower end of the "normal" BMI range (18.5-24.9) is a healthy target weight.

2. How you feel. Once you start getting to a weight where you feel healthier, more energetic, and comfortable in your body, that's a good sign you're nearing a good goal weight.

3. Body image. Experts recommend not aiming for a weight that is obsessively low or requires significant dietary restriction to maintain. A weight you can sustain healthfully long-term is ideal.

4. Tracking measurements, not just weight. Measuring your waist, hips and other areas can help indicate if you're losing unhealthy amounts of muscle mass.

5. As you get closer to your goal weight, lose more slowly. Aim for around 1-2 pounds lost per week, not more. Any faster may indicate an unhealthy approach.

6. Your diet sounds like a good foundation for weight loss. Focusing on whole, unprocessed foods that are high in fiber, lean protein and healthy fats can help you feel full and satisfied on fewer calories.

In summary, a happy medium between a healthy BMI and how you feel physically and mentally is likely to be your ideal weight. Pay attention to your body's cues and make lifestyle changes you can sustain indefinitely. Aim for a rate of weight loss your doctor approves of. And remember - how you feel and the health of your body are more important than the number on the scale.

You're supposed to go on till you reach your goal and the you can go maybe a bit less hard/strict but still be disciplined to maintain the weight

And about food, if your aim is to lose as much weight as possible.. then it is suggested to eat as little food as possible (just enough for you to maintain energy )

And in the food you consume, the most important thing to note is to completely avoid eating anything having added sugar... which includes chocolates, donuts, cakes, ice cream, sugary drinks etc etc... because nothing makes you put on weight (fat) like them.

All the foods you mentioned are clean and healthy, so good to go...
Again Cheese , Tofu and rice in excess can harm you weigh loss progress

You're under 18, and without even knowing you or your stats I find this to be a dangerous question to ask.

We don't know if you even need to lose the weight. And sorry. But when I went to school I did a project on Ana (anarexia, or any other firms if rating disordeess), so it's in the back of my head. And I'm not saying you're suffering from any of them!

Losing weight is about finding a healthy balance with your diet and your body to where you feel healthy and comfortable.
Don't cut out a whole group of foods like carps as mentioned by some of the others. They're ot your enemy. Just eat in moderation.

First question is though, do you even need to lose weight?

Yes, I’m very chubby and have extra fat on my body

[Little_Bumblebee]

Something good would be to make some small changes to a healthier diet overall.
And do some regular activities, like walking outside - if you don't do any sports.

Remember to drink water, and get proper sleep.

You loose weight until you have a healthy BMI or even better, a good fat/muscle ratio.

Here's a link to a BMI calculator. Before using it, keep in mind that it is not 100% accurate and your body type may be slightly different than the "standard" that they are using for their calculations. That said, this should provide you a general idea of the weight you should be aiming for in order to be what is considered "normal."



But really, you should lose weight until you're comfortable with your appearance, without harming your health. Same thing for gaining weight. Fruits, veges, etc. are great, but for maintaining health, it's a good idea to have balanced meals to meet your nutritional needs.

Try to cut out sugary, processed, and high-calorie foods as much as you can, but most importantly: Exercise. Being physically active will do a lot more for your weight loss than a diet and make you more healthy, too.

Do a lot of cardio. Eat healthy. And dont eat after 6 PM or before 12 AM:)

But before loosing weight talk to a doctor and ask what they think.

Cut out the carbs and start walking

I’m planning on going to to the gym later with my mom.

[riverrat3]

A good start

Seek a doctors opinion.

My mother says I don’t need to go to the doctor.
