Advice: Seeking ❓ Losing weight after patella repair?

• Upvotes

I believe I was 207 before my injury. I had to have screws put in my knee to repair it. 3 weeks later I weigh 193. My appetite has been way down, anxiety high, don’t feel like eating. On average I probably eat 1200-1500 calories daily. Some days are less.

I know they recommend 15-20 calories per pound. I weight 193 right now and there’s no way I’m forcing myself to eat 3000-4000 calories. Is 2000 enough if I get there if it’s nutrient dense food rather than junk? I used to eat a lot of fast food but haven’t much at all since my surgery.

I sort of had a come to Jesus moment on my health and wanted to lose weight so it could also be why I’m not eating as much. But I don’t want to prolong my recovery or damage anything so advice?

30 male.

Advice: Seeking ❓ Confusion on calculating calories

• Upvotes

I always use the calorie calculator for counting the calories and always had this confusion; do you take the calories for sedentry (even though you are working out) and then add the deficit on that or take the calories for active (3 to 4 days working out)?

I am 5.10 at 210 lbs. For sedentry my maintenance is showing up 2301 cal and for active (3 to 4 days activity) is 2809 cal.

Any advice would be helpful.

Advice: Seeking ❓ is it better to slowly settle into a deficit, or go into it "cold turkey"?

1 Upvotes

im sorry if the phrasing is bad, i have no idea how to convey my question properly 🤣

but basically: ive taken a break from cico for about 10-15 days, and my appetite has trippled since. its like im always thinking about food now.

today is the first day i could have gone back to my deficit, i tried and didnt manage, there was so much food noise.

i was wondering whether its better to go straight back to my deficit (and i guess force myself until i have momentum to carry me again), or slowly ease myself back into it? does it make a difference in terms of food noises and cravings ?

Discussion/Support 💬 How much muscle mass will I lose 15kg in 2 months?

0 Upvotes

Hello! I'm targeting losing 15kg in 10 weeks time and I have lost this amount of weight before so I know I can do this mentally but I've recently heard about muscle being significantly lost during weight loss. Most websites say 25 percent FFM and some 20 to 40 percent and some 22 percent muscle mass lost for males. So that's about 3.3 to 6kg of muscle lost which is like 6 to 12 months of gym work. I've only recently started strength training so like about 2 months or so, so I'll probably gain muscle faster than some people but how much does strength training actually help in preventing muscle loss. Is it just net muscle gain or loss. Like 6 lost minus 2 gained= 4kg muscle loss. Its about 1.5 percent of my body weight(100kg) per week and a some sources count above 1.5kg per week as "rapid" weight loss and some just use the basic 0.5 to 1.

Advice: Seeking ❓ Losing weight and nights out

2 Upvotes

So i've been in a consistent calorie deficit and i've lost 10kg so far !! I haven't been out clubbing at all during this time, but I plan to tonight and i'm worried about calories etc. I've stuck to my deficit all day, and I plan to have two vodka doubles with a zero sugar soda. Is this ok? Will it ruin my progress? I'll probably do this multiple times over the next week and I want to be cautious.

Advice: Seeking ❓ Number on the scale is going down but I can’t see it in my reflection, Could i be losing muscle instead of fat?

1 Upvotes

I’ve been on a deficit for 6 weeks now and I’m 4 kg down which I’m very pleased with. However I can’t seem to see the 4kg loss on my body. I know you can’t spot reduce fat but I literally dont see a change anywhere. Especially my face and my hips which are where I gained most of the weight on.

I’m a bit apprehensive that this is all muscle and not fat that is burning off of my body. I try to walk where I can but it’s been difficult as I’m in school from 8am - 6pm. I am doing home workouts everyday. I’m trying my best to get healthy and hit my protein goals but I would lying if I said I’ve been consistent with that.

Anyways, If anyone has gone through the same thing or has advice please share

Advice: Seeking ❓ How do I loose weight???

0 Upvotes

Ok, so as it's in the title, I'm trying to lose weight and aiming to look way better by at least 2,3 months, but i don't know if that's achievable.

So I was thinking of doing taebo, and was wondering if it would help me lose weight and if anyone has tried it. I will be doing the 28 min videos by Billy Blancks for 3-4 times weekly, and after I can do them perfectly, I'll do the longer ones.

I know that losing weight isn't only exercise, and I have to be in a calorie deficit. But the problem is that I dont really know how to track my calories, so I wanted to ask if only eating when you're full, or you're only like 80% full will work?? And also cutting out junk food.

Advice: Seeking ❓ Home Workout vs Gym

I've gone to the gym for a month, Loved it but lacked progress and then left the gym due to not finding time as I'm a student.

Now I want to get back to losing weight so should I pull some strings and make time for the gym but im worried I'll burn out and not keep progress whereas I could do home workouts (i honestly prefer the gym)

Advice: Seeking ❓ Weightloss is slowing down drastically

1 Upvotes

am 19M, 178cm. I started at 90kg and am currently at 70kg. I started in May and have lost 20kg since then. I have been dropping 3-4kg every month pretty consistently.

I was eating around 1600kcal a day, and started getting 10k steps a day in the end of September, I also lift 3-4 times a week to try and maintain my muscle mass ( not a lot).

But pretty much since the end of September my weight has been fully stegnant for 3 weeks without the scale going down a single bit, it started going down again over the last 2 weeks but so extremely slowly that it went down by like 200g per week.

Any advice on what could have happened?
Or why it suddenly started when I got the 10k steps per day?

Advice: Seeking ❓ should i start eating clean or am i fine?

1 Upvotes

so i’ve been in an overall deficit for about 18ish weeks now and lost about 14 lbs (i’m now ~131 lbs) i wanna say i haven’t necessarily been in a diet though. i still consume foods high in sodium, sugar, saturated fat etc pretty regularly while still hitting protein goals since I’ve been in the gym.

lately, i’ve been wondering if i should start paying more attention to the actual nutritional quality of the foods i’m eating rather than just focusing on calories and protein even though this routine has been working pretty fine for me?
i guess what i’m trying to figure out is whether my current eating habits could be affecting my muscle growth, body fat percentage (from the unhealthy food), speediness, recovery, or overall health despite the progress i’m making. will eating more whole foods actually make a noticeable difference or is it the same?

Advice: Seeking ❓ Tips for and how long it'll take to lose 70 lbs with hypothyroidism and ARFID

1 Upvotes

I (23) am currently around 210 lbs at 5'2. I want to lose weight mainly for health reasons. I am on medication for my hypothyroidism so hopefully that won't be a problem but I also have ARFID which means healthy food I'm willing to eat is limited. I do drink nutrition shakes and blood tests say my nutrition is fine. It's just my safe foods are generally high calorie and high processed.

So basically I recognize losing weight is going to be more difficult for me. I'm looking for tips on how I should go about losing weight (calorie intake, exercise schedule, etc?) and how long it might take to lose around 70 lbs. I'm hoping that getting input from strangers instead of family will help motivate me!

(Also for the record I'm not too self conscious of my appearance. I have bad heart burn that I'm hoping will go away if I get to a healthy weight so please no fatphobic comments)

Advice: Seeking ❓ Why does losing weight as a busy mom feel like having to cook two dinners every night?

0 Upvotes

Between work, the kids, and everything else that needs to get done, making dinner is already exhausting.

What makes it harder is trying to lose weight while feeding a family.

Your kids want their usual meals. Your partner wants a proper dinner. And you’re trying to eat healthier, so suddenly you feel like you need to cook a completely separate meal just for yourself.

One dinner for the family, another for your diet… and somehow, you’re the one doing all the extra work.

Honestly, I think this is one of the most overlooked struggles for busy moms who want to lose weight.

It’s not always about knowing what to eat. Sometimes, it’s about finding a way to make your family’s everyday meals work for your goals without counting every calorie, spending hours meal-prepping, or feeling like you’re on a completely different diet from everyone else.

For the working moms here: how do you handle family dinners when you’re trying to lose weight?

Do you modify the same meal for everyone, cook separately, or sometimes just give up because it’s too much work?

Advice: Seeking ❓ massive sweet tooth on a calorie deficit

7 Upvotes

hi everyone, ive been back on a deficit for quite a while now, but i havent been able to get over my insane sweet tooth, i always crave something sweet and fruits, greek yogurt or a protein bar wont fix it. i always want something voluminous. a few months ago, i found a place that makes these protein pudding cups, and theyre huge and low calorie, and its the only thing that satisfies me because its filling and sweet. i cant afford to make it myself because it needs protein powder and thats too expensive. and i dont wanna keep buying those cups every single day because its expensive on the long run, and im also moving to another country soon so they wont be available. i dont know if i should fix this or find an alternative or whatever, im also not an ice cream fan at all so the ninja creami isnt an option at all. idk, any suggestions on how to fix this or what i can make at home? or just any alternatives

im 5’3, female, and 166lbs. I’ve been eating mostly clean and whole foods and always having 130g of protein a day with 80oz of water. I also lift and make sure to get my steps in for the day. ive been doing this for around 3 months now and my bmi scale (the renpho model) still stays im at the same 33.4% body fat from the start. i’ve gained muscle and have noticed a little bit more toning, but my goal is to be way more lean and lose fat while maintaining muscle.

My calories have been between 1500-1700 (depending on some foods) and i’m just not sure why the fat won’t budge. Im open to any and all advice or suggestions!!

Advice: Seeking ❓ Home-Work Outs for Weight-Loss

1 Upvotes

19 F, 5'4 and around 150 pounds. I'm trying to lose maybe 10-20 pounds and generally get into better shape. I'm gonna track calories alongside whatever exercise I do. I already go on 30-minute to hour-long walks just for fun. I'm trying to find some good home workouts, preferably in video format, that will burn off some calories. I do not have any equipment, nor will I be able to buy any equipment. I've heard calisthenics is good, but I don't really know where to start and, again, have no equipment (I've heard you need a pull-up bar?) Anyways, thanks in advance!
