It takes time, if you rush the process by adding on too many variables too quickly, you will burn out. Living healthier is a long game, you cannot rush success.

well it was more like a puzzle. at first i was doing lot of cardio (i’m a runner) then i added in the protein intake, etc. slowly piecing it all together

5 weeks of consistency can bring change, but you need more time for the decisions you make everyday to compound into something worthwhile

You don’t have to be perfect everyday, but as long as you do the right thing for your goals most of the time, say 4-5 days out of the week, you will see decent results.

Disagree on this. You should have solid caloric intake with only healthy foods and excess fat will be burned with energy over time. You’ll lose less weight but gain more muscle

By decreasing caloric intake, their ability to lose weight will increase. As long as they meet 0.3-0.5g of fat, 0.7-0.8g of protein, and fill the remaining calories with 1-2g of carb per lb of bw, they will be fine. Now, should they have an extreme deficit? Probably not if they aren’t in a prep.

Well yeah the sky is blue but most of the time ppl see a caloric deficit as skip 2 meals which if you’re increasing workout and cardio intensity. Many people will not go into specific macros so instead picking healthy foods and removing processed ones would be a sufficient option

That’s because most people don’t do enough to inform themselves.

Removing processed foods alone will not put them into a position to lose weight. You can still gain weight eating “healthy” and I can almost assure you that if this individual deals with binging or food portioning, they will absolutely overeat and put themselves into a surplus.

So by that logic even telling them to remove processed foods wouldn’t help if they don’t do it.

Telling anyone to do anything wouldn’t work it’s just a saying inferring the other person needs to take the advice for it to work
