RE: Weightloss is all about calories

in #weightloss7 years ago (edited)

I absolutely love the before and after pictures! Such a change! How long does it usually take to look that slim?

And yes, weight loss is nothing but having a calorie deficit, and I find it amusing how many products offer a shortcut for fat loss/cutting. Consume less calories while you do extra cardio, and you'll definitely lose those stubborn pounds.

Hi Cruziana, it really depends on your starting point, you can lose approximately 1% of your body weight per week at a comfortable pace.

some weeks will be less some more but the average is what you are aiming for

The larger you are the faster you can lose, the leaner you are the slower the process.

Amy here lost around 25-30 kilos (i think that is around 50 pounds total) in about a 6-9 months period.

around 1200 calories a day following a structure strength training routine and or with cardio.

Amazing! I always like hearing about success stories like this.

I'm going back to the gym life and I'm planning to lose 15-20 pounds with weight training and swimming/jogging for cardio. I have a lot of stubborn body fat I'm really dying to lose...

Sounds great. Consistency is key and Definitly start tracking your calories. A general recommendation I would give female clients is start with 1200 calories per day. You can use MyFitnessPal to track this. It will help immensely

Yes, I do count and track my calories per day. Before I used MyFitnessPal but now I find Excel to be more efficient for me. :) Also, what do you suggest when you hit plateaus? More cardio? Lesser calories? I've been hearing a lot of "solutions" but not really sure which is the most effective.
