Great job! You can still get yourself solid intake without high calories, I like to do a protein shake in the morning and some chicken breast and vegetables for lunch then whatever for dinner. You don’t have to starve yourself to still make significant strides - give yourself grace! Great job!!

Good stuff but maybe don’t skip breakfast, could lead to eating a lot at the end of the day and you wouldn’t burn off those calories as well if you ate in small amounts throughout the day instead. If that’s makes any sense.

for sustainable weight loss make sure you’re eating enough throughout the day (3 meals) that are high in protein and fiber and exercise!

Great start! Just a tip, eat breakfast. At least for me, I end up overeating throughout the day if I skip breakfast. Even just a protein yogurt or a banana or something.

I agree with all these people, but good job! Remember when you mess up and “break” your diet that that’s okay, and to not throw away a whole day because you started it off eating poorly! Progress over perfection ♥️

please don’t skip breakfast. it can lower your metabolism. if you were to skip any meal, skip lunch or dinner and have a smoothie/shake instead

Anonymous 12w

You shouldn’t be skipping meals, good for you for wanting to lose weight though, the key for good weight loss is plenty of protein and 3 meals a day with plenty of nutritional value, example breakfast: 1-2 eggs, Greek yogurt(Oikos is very good calories to protein ratio) some sort of fruit or veggie (or both!) also remember carbs are not your enemy they are used for energy in your ur body so inducing some toast in your morning won’t hurt, I recommend sourdough bread, lower calories, also water!

One great tip that helped me eat healthier was learning that the first thing you taste sets your cravings for the day so starting the day with a high protein & fiber breakfast would be really helpful for losing weight. Or eat a handful of leaves first thing wtv floats ur boat

Breakfast is good fuel for the day and can keep your hunger noises down! Make sure to have a decent amount of protein but pair it with some gut healthy carbs so that they last longer in your stomach. And fresh fruit to follow is chefs kiss 💋

don’t lower calories crazy, focus on protein and eat high dense foods, also eat oatmeal if you like oatmeal, fiber keeps you full longer helping with the eating

I know everyone is giving advice, but I lost the most weight literally just by eating fish. i’m lazy as FUCK and 8oz of tilapia is like 40g of protein. throw some random spices on it and in the oven for 12 min. pop frozen broccoli in the microwave. the key to is is being lazy as hell. they make 15g protein yogurt. throw 2 cups of that in the blender w some frozen fruit for breakfast. bam 70g protein in the absolute laziest way possible

Skipping breakfast is silly. Start off your day with a walk or jog or run — whatever you are able to do — since that will help burn more fat when fasting (technically happens overnight) and then have a protein shake after. Then just eat good protein the rest of the day.

Keep it up! Protein and weight lifting are also your friends imo

Hey! Don’t say it isn’t much now! It’s good you started that’s always the hardest. Take it from someone who used to always skip breakfast, don’t do it! Use it to get in your protein. Eggs, turkey sausage, literally anything to get your body going in the morning and get up your energy so that your body starts to burn earlier. I used to think starving my fat would be best to get rid of it, I learned that feeding myself the correct things and amount was the real way to go. You got this!

This is not sustainable for weight loss, it might work for a few days, but then you’ll binge and hate yourself for it. Eat high protein meals and don’t buy snacks. 10k steps a day and gym 3x/week and you’ll start seeing results

just a reminder for everyone when doing calorie deficit diets you will always hit a plateau at some point, when that happens DO NOT eat less take a “break” and increase your calories by at least 500 a day for 1-2 weeks then you can go back to the calorie deficit and continue to see results be safe and eat enough for your body 🫶

I would still try to eat 2-3 well rounded meals a day within a calorie deficit! Please try not to skip meals. You don’t want to deprive yourself because deprivation can lead to binging and overall disordered eating. All weight loss isn’t healthy, and skinny doesn’t always equal healthy! Good job starting the journey tho, the first step is always the hardest. You got this gang!

Also lift and take creatine. Later in the day definitely have enough carbs. What this does is forces you to chug water. This keeps you full, and is also just healthy.

Skipping breakfast is getting too much hate. It’s the easiest meal to skip, and if it doesn’t cause you to over eat it’s a great idea. Everyone should experiment with what works for them.

Anonymous 12w

As somebody who is also losing weight, carbs are still an important part of your diet even when trying to lose weight! By refrigerating or freezing cooked carbs over night it turns the starches into resistant starch(which is a form of dietary fiber), this will lower the calories of them by around 10-30% (depends on what kind) and it also won’t spike your blood sugar because it can’t be digested in stomach and will instead be digested in your colon

Anonymous 12w

just make sure you’re eating smaller portions you’re getting enough protein! that helps weight loss stay healthy and sustainable <3 good luck

I’m also trying to lose weight rn starting at 268 last time i weighed myself. Which ik it’s not a healthy weight but im down 20lbs since last year. I work night shift at a hospital and tend to get snacky, I’ve switched to bringing salads for lunch and yogurt and granola for snacks. Along with meat sticks. I feel like what helped me a lot was incorporating healthier snacks into my diet. I hope your journey goes well!!

Anonymous 12w

Incorporate macadamia nuts and cashews brasil nuts walnuts pine nuts and sunflower seeds! It really helps if you’re consistent with muscle increase without even working out, and helps with energy crashes or cravings!

Get the app Cronometer and count your calories if you’re not already. If losing weight is the goal, simply substituting meals with “healthier” options like salad isn’t gonna do it. You’d be amazed at how many calories salads can be if you’re not measuring dressings, cheese, etc. Proteins like eggs and chicken are going to keep you fuller for longer compared to other foods. More than anything — stick with it! Don’t be discouraged if you don’t see progress. You’ve got this!

This is truly sad. The point is that they are actively working towards a goal regardless of how they ended up there. Clearly they have a leg up on you, who doesn’t even have the decency to recognize the positive criticism and suggestions in the comments, and instead chose to use your bias and opinions to harm instead of help. You could have explained that yes, anything out of moderation is harmful. Instead of pointing a finger. Maybe you should point it at yourself and ask why you’re so ignorant

don’t be afraid to buy protein shakes even if you don’t work out like who cares, you need protein just like everyone else. that can be easy 25-30g, just again look at calories bc some are more than others. if you want a treat, fiber one has 70 calorie brownies. 70 calories isn’t that much at the end of the day and it’ll satisfy cravings. diet soda. fr. if you like soda, just drink it. it has no calories. ignore the bullshit about it you’re eating microplastics in everything

also you can use the rotisserie chicken in a lot like buy a bag of premade salad and don’t use the dressing it comes with and buy your own use it in tacos. they make low carb taco shells. add some refried beans to fill you up and lettuce is crunchy water. again, cheese really isn’t all that bad. if you want a like dressing, there’s a sauce that is 5 calories i can find and it’s like a “spicy ranch” which is better than sour cream

I wasn’t going to give advice since you didn’t ask for it but since everyone else is, try to not exceed a calorie deficit of 700. The goal zone is 500-700 deficit. Also weight lifting will help to burn fat faster. You can calculate how many calories you burn a day on average when you put in age, height, weight, sex, etc. and that will help you have a goal for the amount of food you eat

That’s what people mean when they are talking about a deficit, they are talking about the amount of calories to subtract from your intake, not the intake itself. That’s why I said OP should calculate how much they burn in a day so they can subtract 500-700 from it to get the average intake

Everyone hits a plateau, and that is one way of handling it, but the other way is to continue doing the exact same thing. The plateau is when you start really building muscle (typically) while losing the fat, so you don’t see it on the numbers (scale) but you slowly will be seeing it everywhere else. If that’s not the case then you may have accidentally started eating bad again (not counting calories) or you stopped working out as much as you were. That’s just my experience and thoughts though.

Start with a goal each week, most people can’t just start getting that many steps each day. Say you’ll get 5k steps every day for one week. If you complete it, move up to 5500 the next. If you don’t get it every day, do it the following week until you do. Increase slowly to get yourself used to the habit of you have a hard time. This goes for anything in the realm of fitness and weight loss.
