How do I lose weight?

[sunluckie]

I keep trying to lose weight but it's soo hard. I'm short so my maintenance calories are only 1450 kcal/day and to lose weight I have to eat like 1000-1100 kcal/day. But that's so little, I have to skip any snacks or desserts, my breakfast is two boiled eggs and my lunch and dinner are like one chicken breast with a salad (without dressing ofc, just 1 tbsp of olive oil🙃) and it's absolutely miserable.

I keep fucking up and eating too much because I'm too hungry. I can't really exercise, that makes me want food even more and I usually just end up binging all night if I go for a swim that day. It makes me so mad because I finally wanted to feel healthy but it's soo difficult I don't know how all the skinny girls do it

Walking, along with healthy eating, will take you a long way. If you stick to diets that are too strict, you'll just feel miserable and want to quit.

Even with a busy work schedule, everyone can set aside half an hour to an hour a day to exercise. If that seems too long, break it down in sets of 15 minutes. It takes a different mindset and a lot of determination. And time if you want to do it right. Don't expect quick results.

You can exercise and eat more. Your maintenance will increase so you'll have to, in order to build muscle and burn fat.

You gotta be mindful of what you eat, high protein stuff preferably.

From my experience, it's best to only reduce calories to the range that my body can handle, then let the rest of the weight loss be through energy expenditure. Things never go well for me when I try to reduce my calories to a 500calorie deficit per day. My body much rather prefers a 100-200cal deficit with a 150-300cal output in energy expenditure. This keeps my metabolism high & even creates a push pull with how I heal & perform. When the deficits are too deep, it's just a pull until I eventually fail them & end up eating more than I probably should.

A calorie deficit is the only way to lose weight in a healthy manner.

Just exercise more so you can eat more

What is your height and weight?

[Staximus]

Some people are naturally skinny and some aren't. I am definitely not. You just have to accept your body and stop comparing yourself to others. Talk to your doctor and see what they say

I used to eat about 6000 calories a day but was still losing weight and went from 240 to 205, but I was working a lot at a very physical job and riding my bicycle to work.

[sunluckie]

I can eat like 200 kcal more, but im so hungry that i feel nauseous if i dont eat way more than that. Also i can't just exercise more, i have a life and responsibilities

[sunluckie]

150 cm 50 kg, I'm not a mountain of muscle like u lolol

[Staximus]

Maybe you need to do some exercises that burn more calories

[Staximus]

Eat mostly lean meat and vegetables

[Staximus]

Don't go below 1500 calories, just exercise more

[Staximus]

A chicken breast, salad, and eggs is not even 1000 calories, that's not enough food

[In_Trance]

You have to remain in a calorie deficit

[dean55au]

Maybe going for regular walks
