Hey guys, stopped working out this january because of an injury, i have now recovered from it, and waiting for my gym to reopen again. Meanwhile i have gained 10 kg, so i want to cut down, and then put on some muscle so i am around 80 kg off season, im around 86 now. Im currently running 3 times a week, and then doing calisthenics after. Should i count calories, or should i just stick to eating 3 meals a day, only eat one plate of food each meal?

Weight loss is calories in v calories out.
And you can’t outwork a poor diet. -
Oh and the plate thing doesn’t work.Originally posted by Moller View Post
Eating a plate of lettuce which is 0.1mm thick vs a plate of butter that is 200 inches deep has different calories.
Remember, it’s calories in v calories out.Comment

3 things that I learnt from my friend who lost 30 kgs:
- eliminate bakings;
- eliminate sweeties;
- eliminate alcohol.Comment

Agreed but to lose weight, it’s calories in v calorie out.Originally posted by OctoberRed View Post
I could live just of alcohol, chocolate, and smoking, but if my calories IN and less than calories out I will lose weightComment

Perhaps you are right, however, this friend of mine smokes a lot even after losing these kilograms.Originally posted by OctoberRed View PostComment

As I am also a little obese I introduced this diet, however, with my personal modifications, lol:Originally posted by abracada View Post
- I eliminated bakings, it was the easiest;
- since I like only very bitter chocolate, I did not eliminate it;
- since I like only strong dark beer I also did not eliminate it;
- I smoke very occasionally, tbh.
I lost 5-7 kilograms with it.Comment

Calories in v out. It’s that simple.
For some people it’s as easy as not having that juice/soda with all their meals and laying off the gatorade and excessive processed foods.
If the best way for you to do this is through intermittent fasting or a lot of small meals a day or whatever, then do what works for you. Adjust for your lifestyle.
Love to hit up restaurants? Pass on the extra sides, especially fried ones. Get a good protein source, pass on the soda (try water with lemon) and for your side go old school with a plain baked potato if you have to or just a side of greens (broccoli?). You can still indulge in your ribeye. Once you go a few days off the sugary drinks or beer it’s easy to eat out healthy...ish.
Love a bunch of toast with breakfast? Maybe find thin sliced and have less.
Think you’re hungry? Have some water and wait. Sometimes you’re not hungry, just bored.
Don’t shop on an empty stomach they say helps buy less junk and cravings? Try that.
You can still eat like a piece of s hit sometimes, just be more selective.
The better you eat, the more motivation you have to work out hard. It goes the other way too. Once you fall into it, you wont want to waste your hard work on a 20 piece chicken mcnugget meal with large fries and a coke.
If you’re “always hungry” youre eating the wrong thing. There are tons of low calorie and fairly nutrient dense “clean” foods you can eat in pretty f ucking big portions (Like broccoli).
You got this.
Don’t play the short game. Like oh I lose five pounds without giving up smoking or beer. Yeah...for now. Lets see in five-ten-fifteen years how the shi tty habits worked out.
Most people regain the weight + more when they don’t make a dedicated lifestyle change.Last edited by NearHypnos; 11-24-2020, 03:09 AM.Comment
