I lost 30 lbs in 2 months after watching what I eat without any exercise. But I was feeling weak and having some skin problems. I noticed that I need to exercise. Losing weight isn't all there to it. It is about being healthy. If you want to feel good about losing weight and want to keep going, balanced diet and exercise BOTH need to go together. Just wanted to help based on my experience.

@barefoot2470 Жыл бұрын

No need to focus so much on exercise. 90% is diet, 10% is exercise. Ppl can lose weight by doing no exercise at all. If you eat less what you eat now you lose weight. As simple as that. Not saying exercise is not important tho

I have a lot of questions about this show. Have the participants been screened for clinical depression? Do they need antidepressants to keep them motivated and positive? What about doing a complete hormone panel for thyroid, adrenals, etc? They definitely need a therapist who specialises in past trauma. Without that, all the weight is going to come right back on at the next emotional crisis. They need coping mechanisms that will replace emotional eating.

Get angry at myself then get depressed only to repeat. Trauma as kids is also common. 6 years of childhood abuse to me. I saw murder on vacation. Survived two forest fires evacuated from both. I survived a hurricane that killed others on another vacation… Then got extremely sick after the storm along with many others. Contaminated water at the resort. Been through a lot of terrible things…

Intermittent fasting keeps me in control of my food intake. If I eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner even in "small amounts", its all over. My brain just makes me eat and eat and eat. It lets my brain know that I will have One Main Meal a day with some minor snacking if I choose. So I plan for it like its a reward. Also I do things to distract from the refrigerator like it is my enemy. Stretching excercise is my daily routine plus walking.

Eat lean protein, a large amount of vegetables and small portion of carbohydrate in each of your meals. Continue to make your fav meals just substitute for healthier versions. Also counting calories helps, make sure your in a deficit. Light walking gradually increasing to 6-8000 steps. You will see the weight come off. All the best, you can do it.

Il faut s'inscrire sur la durée, soulever du poids ou faire du vélo ne fonctionne que pour la durée de l'émission. Perdre du poids est une lutte à vie, qui doit être pensée sur la durée.

Can you guys exercise together? Like take walks or something? I don't like this trainer guy on this show; he acts like he's getting sonewhat unfit people ready for the strongman competition! So don't act like him, lol. But (assuming you're still together), 1) you should evaluate your relationship for you. Is she the person you wanted to date? I get physical attraction is important, but is she the person you wanted? You shouldn't continue daying if she's not the person for you. And 2) it is important to be honest. If she can't handle honesty, she might not be the person for you either. She needs to be told the truth in love, and it's up to her to take care of herself. But if you want to continue dating & to help her, I think exercising together might be the way to go. And eating healthy (nice food, not like celery sticks & cabbage soup. Just healthy food.) Good luck to both of you!

It's actuallyt the ultra processed foods like pizza and chocolate that are addictive, but that's because of the high amount of quick carbs.
