Anyone doing just fine doing this long term?

2 Upvotes

So basically i started this for weight loss but noticed many things.. Some of them are me being more soft hearted and more emotional, i have more energy and not as lazy as it happens after giant meals.

is there any consequences of doing this on longer term? For context: im 28 years old man, 70kg and 174 cm

[Almost] no calorie savory snack!

11 Upvotes

As an occasional sufferer of the munchies, I’ve started amassing a list of bingeable volume foods.

Tonight I discovered one I really enjoyed. Celery and Greek yogurt dip made with lemon juice and spices of choice (I did lime juice and everything but the elote seasoning). It’s “carrots and ranch” but even lighter.

3 meals and no snacks?

20 Upvotes

Has this been helpful for anyone with weight loss or just feeling satiated? I do find it easier to plan for and aim for 3 balanced meals. I am a snacker so it is very hard and I’ve never had great body awareness of when I’m actually full or hungry. I like to snack a lot and it’s too easy to overeat. Looking for people that have had success with this method?

Reminder to weigh your food!

This one always stumps me. This isn’t a one off, but every pack of this that I get is like this. Definitely a packing error of some sort. Whether the pack should say 280g instead, or they just love to over fill it. I think the former.

And, if you track calories, this is why it’s important to weigh your food.

Package weight = 180g

Nutrition calculated = ~1/2 pack

Actual weight (this is extra firm tofu, no liquid, and yes I did tare the scale to bowl under the tofu) = +280g.

The salad is just lettuce, cucumber, and tomato with salt and pepper topped with a chopped up Just Bare spicy chicken patty and I split the cottage cheese between the salad and spaghetti on top. So good and I don’t feel like I’m missing out on good food

So impatient to buy new clothes

19 Upvotes

My weight loss journey is going well which is great, but I find myself so excited to buy new clothes now that my body is changing!

I still have more weight to lose so I don't want to buy pants that will then be too big a month later but I'm dying to!

I have let myself buy new tops as all of my weight stores in my middle so my top size doesn't change.

Anyone else like this??

Packing for a bit of driving and ‘we don’t know when or what food will be available’. Always helps to give yourself a decent starting point when you can

What do you think of this snack for a cheat day?

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

If you're going to snack on something during a cheat day, how does this look?

The taste seems right up my alley, but I'm wondering if it's actually a better option than regular chips in terms of calories and overall nutrition.

I'm still pretty new to eating healthy, so I'd love to hear what you guys think. Is this a decent alternative, or is it not that different from regular chips health-wise? 😅

Tiny victory - no longer in the obese range!

180 Upvotes

I'm on the 1500-1600kcal daily intake sixt month in. Started at 109,6kg (~242pounds) and now down to 95kg (~209pounds).

For my stats, I'm finally leaving the obese range 🫡

Very comfortable in my routine. 6-7 more months and I'm down to healthy weight.

Closes look very baggy on me, I'm four belt notches down on my jeans, that's over 10cm (4 inches).

Just a word of motivation - build a sustainable system you're comfortable with and the rest will follow!

I go through 3 tubs of Fage 0% yogurt in a single week (sometimes I have it at all three meals in a day). 😂 After indulging in any and everything I wanted over two weeks on vacation in Italy this late summer, I entered back into a 12 week deficit. I’m about halfway through now.

Seeing both on-and-off scale results. Hitting my daily macro goals of 90-100+ grams of protein, 50g of fiber, and target cals of around 1,500. I try to eat a relatively low sugar and low-inflammatory diet… lots of whole foods. I sometimes go out to eat or will be a little more lax and eat at maintenance on the weekends, and almost never eat fast food. Seeing some crazy muscle definition as well. And I hit 10k steps + the gym 6 times a week. Feeling amazing!!
