U r right. Sometimes during the weekend, if I tend to eat more, i realize that I also can easily gain weight jut by eating slightly less than what I used to eat before starting this diet regime.
Do u have any recommendation on a simple to follow diet plan to sustain my weight loss periodically but still be able to enjoy food normally?
I am doing this regime without any professional guidance & only based on my own research with Mr Google.
I am in a good mood because I have fucked my boss left right up down centre and again he has nothing to counter.
Fat ass like us, when we start we go google "what is the best food to eat for fat loss", "what is the best exercise for fat loss", "what is the best fat burner for fat loss". I have done all those, but I am lucky, I succeeded my first phase before I can have the motivation to go on. The effect is I have metabolic damage. I can gain fats very easily after that period and I am lucky too that I coincidentally/ accidentally did it the right way to build it back up.
TDEE - The total energy you need in a day with your activity and not gaining fats
BMR - Energy required for you to just stay alive while laying on the bed
With 600kcal a day, and say 3000kcal during weekends (provided that you do eat that much a day), your intake a day is [(600*5)+(3000*2)]/ 7 = 1285kcal. If the TDEE you have stated is correct, you are eating half of it.
Eventually your body will loose those 'weight'. At the same time it will adjust itself to your intake, because all the body wants to do is for you to survive, not look good in the mirror. Your metabolisme will reduce because the whole idea of fast metabolisme is that when you have food going in, the efficient metabolisme allows you to dissect those food into energy so that your body gets energy. When you have no food, metabolisme gets lazy. This is also because to metabolise food, you need energy, aka calories.
When you have no food, under what basis the metabolisme wants to ramp up? You will soon realise that those small unintentional movements with your fingers, toes, legs, neck, etc will lessen. This is all the reaction to low food because those fidgety/ tapping movements uses calories albeit very little.
If we do agree to body adjusting for you to survive, your beginning TDEE of 2400kcal will be adjusted to 1285kcal. You see no change. You plateaued. What do you do? You reduce more. Cut to 1000kcal a day. The cycle repeats and you will find yourself eating so less that you cannot survive. Then what do you do? You give up. You eat like what you eat last time. You have to remember that your body now eats 1000kcal and have adjusted to it. When you now eat 2400kcal everyday, you are at 1400kcal surplus, everyday.
Then what happen? You ggwp. You will balloon up so fast that your pants will not be able to catch up.
One thing I have done and I am glad that I have, is count calories. Adjust the calorie level depending on your need. It is a sum zero game. Fit in what you eat and what you want to eat so long that it fits the numbers.
Also exercise. Start slow. I started by walking. Then jog. Then run. Then sprint. Albeit i do it very stupidly, I loose 19kg in 9 weeks. I am just glad that I can eat pizza ice cream and drink beer when I am on a cut.
