What is the best weight to lose weight?

[C_CPM]

I heard about fasting but they say that when you stop doing it you gain the weight you lost or even more weight than you originally had. Any tips on weight loss or if I should do fasting?

DONT FAST. You will be setting yourself up for failure. I’ve managed to lose some weight, and it was because I stopped obsessing over calories and stopped actively denying myself of certain foods. I have been so in my head about my weight my whole life, have tried every single diet out there, and have always failed. I am finally losing some weight now, and it’s only because I stopped letting my weight consume all my thoughts and dictate my life. I just let it go, and started enjoying my life and not worrying too much. And naturally, I have started to be more active, and eat healthier. Don’t deny yourself of food by fasting, just substitute some foods. Like instead of eating a packet of chips, go buy some plant based chips and eat them instead! Don’t deny yourself of any chips. Get what I mean? You will naturally find delicious healthy substitutes to the things you’re eating if you educate yourself on food basics. And you should still allow yourself to eat unhealthy things here and there, because you will be less likely to completely fall back into old patterns of eating trash food.

True. OP needs to do what works for them and what’s sustainable for them.

Like, theoretically, someone can make fast progress if they were to just eat chicken breast and broccoli for months.

But, how long can they actually sustain that, right?

If their diet is too restrictive, they may develop an urge to binge when they get off track.

It’s better to change slowly and learn to adapt and enjoy a new way of eating that can be long term and sustainable, rather than change drastically and be unable to sustain the changes.

If you’re walking to a destination at 2 mph, but you never stop, you’ll get there.

If you are riding a bicycle at 10 mph but you keep stopping and riding backwards and only ride forward sporadically, you’ll never reach your destination.

The best way to lose weight is to adopt a healthy LIFESTYLE rather than a 30-day program or what have you.


The reason for this is that you will not be able to maintain your results unless what you’re doing is sustainable for the long term.


So, find a way to eat healthy and exercise regularly in a way that you can sustain for months and years.


This is not only better for your overall long term health, but your mental health as well.


Allow the healthy version of you become part of your new identity, and things will begin moving in the right direction.


As long as your making progress, no matter how fast or how slow, you’re on the right track.


Now, if you get stuck, you can always consume information on health and fitness from reliable sources (certified professionals), or you can hire a certified personal trainer to help guide you.

For a more actionable answer: Eat meat, eat vegetables, cut out sugar (or reduce drastically), drink only water or sugar-free electrolyte drinks, try your best to avoid processed foods, get 8+ hours of sleep per night, keep your stress levels low, exercise regularly, track your progress (most important).

Eat healthy and some 200 to 400 cal below your BMR x activity level. That will cause 1 to 2 kg loss/month. But it is a consistent weight loss that is permanent.

Yeah, if they’re going to be tracking their caloric intake, that’s a good range. A 200-400 calorie deficit. 🤙

OP, so if your current Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and activity level burns 2000 calories a day let’s say, then you would want to be eating 1600-1800 calories per day.

If you’re already only eating like 1200 calories though, you don’t want to go too low, or else you risk malnourishment.

If your metabolism is that slow, you actually want to look into reverse-dieting and body recomposition at that point to recover and strengthen your metabolism.

(Meaning, your priority shouldn’t be to lose weight but rather heal your metabolism and THEN lose weight afterwards.)

Problem is it's different for everyone depending on your height.

Definitely cut out sodas, that greatly helps.

Fruit, veggies, water, and exercise.
