Are you on a calorie deficit, how is it going for you?

[Razp_Sorbet]

Been on a calorie deficit going on 4 weeks now with the aim to lose 1kg a week. So far its going very well

[Cyfris]

It is going well. I'm three weeks in and down two pounds consistantly. I am at the point of wanting variety and getting bored with my cut meals up till now. I think I am going to swap out some calories for some sauces or flavours pretty quick. 1kg a week is a lofty goal watch for the rebound weight on the back end of that. Half that would be considered ideal I think in terms of success rates for long term loss. What happens is you hit your target and increase the calories to maintenace levels and the body over compensates and stores again in fear of another what it thinks is food shortage crisis. I'd add a few more calories now or plan a long taper back to maintenance levels just to be safe. Be a shame if all that hard work went away.. Congrats on the progress though. I'm proud of you. keep you the good work, you got this!!

[Razp_Sorbet]

Im honestly most days struggling to meet the calories I'm probably not counting entirely correctly but I am losing like 800-900 grams a week so close to a kg

[Cyfris]

Wow congrats. You don't have to be exact unless you are cutting for a competition or something. Just have to try to do the right thing more often than not and to not spiral if you do have a less than perfect day. That seems like a lot of weigh pretty fast though. Maybe I am just old and out of touch. Just please be careful and make sure you are getting what you need vitamins wise and stuff like that. Losing pounds feels good crashing does not. If your deficeit is too high or your lacking your body will eat its own muscle. Your brain and your heart are muscles. just sayin

[Razp_Sorbet]

1kg a week is healthy. Its the max the app im. usimg recommends

[NathanDavis]

kind of... for about a week

but I got really sick, lmao

I definitely lost that one kilogram, probably more

[Agape93]

Yeap but that's more for physical exertion or simply not eating much.

[exitseven]

Yes, I have list 8 pounds in 6 weeks. 12 more to go.

[LC75LC71]

Sounds like bullshit. Similar to testophobia, climate change, and white privilege.

[Razp_Sorbet]

Mm yes eating less calories than you burn is totally bullshit and not basic science

[LC75LC71]

That's just being malnourished! Don't give it a bullshit name.

[Razp_Sorbet]

How do you think people lose weight?

[LC75LC71]

Proper diet. Have you ever worn a raspberry beret?

[Razp_Sorbet]

Proper diet isn't going to make you lose weight if you are eating the same amount of calories as you were before you started the diet.
ALL weight loss diets are just making you eat less calories than you were before.

[LC75LC71]

Not starving yourself! Anyway..

[Razp_Sorbet]

Calorie deficit isn't starving yourself

[LC75LC71]

And no one will convince you otherwise..

[Razp_Sorbet]

No... because I believe in science 🫠

[LC75LC71]

Go get blown away by a gust of wind.

[Razp_Sorbet]

Okay 👍

Try a GLP-1 agonist like Ozempic, and you won't have the pain.

[Razp_Sorbet]

I have no pain? Id rather do it naturally and not pay $500 ☺️

[queenofcardio]

No, I eat whatever I want..
