That’s what I’m doing for now, maintaining where I’m at for a while before trying again with the rest.
That’s what I’m doing for now, maintaining where I’m at for a while before trying again with the rest.I have been in the same position as you before. I think it’s because, after losing a fair amount, the body goes into starvation mode and adapts to the ingestion of fewer calories.
I have a theory - for which I’m not aware of any scientific basis - that, after losing two or three stones, it might be a good idea to stay at the same weight for some months to allow it to adjust again before starting to diet again.
I accept that this might be complete nonsense but when I reach two stones off (I’m halfway there) I’m going to give it a try.
It will have, but as a 34 year old man my maintenance calories really ought to be around 2500.Your BMR will have dropped significantly. There’s every possibility you need less than 2k to maintain.
Oh if an injection can massively help with weight loss which means people will overall be healthier / more active etc then why not roll it out?
Automated? can't beat it!great, more drugs being pumped into peoples bodies
Diet is much more significant than exercise.

If you’re starting from being morbidly obese as I was, then it is. I move about around as much the same as I always have done.not sure I agree with ‘much more’ significant
Female?
It’s what several calculators have told me to be fairThat’s an average figure though. Your body will be unique in what it burns and how efficient it is at the various tasks you do. Makes more sense to follow your body than an average IMO.

Choice or original form?
Yeah, it’s all about context. If someone is shovelling 5000 calories down a day, a brisk walk won’t make much difference. If someone is just overeating a bit, exercise will help to keep things in check.
Exactly,so cut the price idk, mortgages,or transport,or something else?losing weight is actually really easy if you know what you’re doing- it’s not just about calories, it’s not about avoiding fat.. there is so much misinformation peddled by people with a vested interest its unreal. Cutting any form of sugar alone makes a big difference, that stuff is pure poison and they stick it in almost everything.
and whoever said it’s cheap- not true. Eating truly healthy is really expensive.
Just from people we know who have tried, going to the gym leads people to be hungry and overestimate how much they’ve burned so they eat much more as a result.Yeah, it’s all about context.

yep, you worded it much better than I managed- it’s all contextual and there’s no overall rule.
You can get bags of carrots for 50p. Vegetables aren’t expensive, decent quality meat is.Not eating anything processed costs a fortune, and it’s a pain cooking it all- but get that right and the pain of weight loss drops dramatically
There is an overall rule. It’s calories in minutes calories out.
I’m drained with this one so I’ll leave it alone
I know what I mean but clearly I’m not making sense

Butter's great for you so they've said after their about turn and it appears to have gone through the roof!yep.. but also if you’re looking for healthy fats then that can be expensive too
6 portions of beef curry and rice I’ve made for this week has cost about £20 all in, and took about 20 minutes of prep to bung into a slow cooker. It’s easier and cheaper than people think but what really doesn’t help is the abundance of conflicting information.yep.. but also if you’re looking for healthy fats then that can be expensive too
It has huge potential side effects include in extreme cases blindness and cannot be used for type 2 diabetics

There are very few people who’ve gone from severely obese to ‘healthy’ and kept it off, but it’s those people who can help the most because they understand the difficulties the best. At least that’s my theory
Me too,but don't tell em this ok on the egg's!I’m one of the ones who kept it off- went from 19 stone to 13.5 and doing ok. I eat a LOT of eggsand the cholesterol thing is a myth.
I hear you on every word you say
He's had his moment and is another war apologist!can we go back to politics - Bring back Boris
