How many calories do you consume a day to lose weight? Women? I’ve been consuming roughly 2200 calories a day this week and burning off 500 through exercise and have lost none.
I’m finding it really hard to limit eating as feel hungry. I cycled over six miles yesterday and might build it up to 20 miles and hope I lose weight.
I think @LilyoftheValley lost lots of weight on 1200 calories.
I lost weight too on 1000-1200 calories but was only able to maintain the diet for a month. I was living on 5 calories/140g Shirataki noodles lol
Yeah it’s really tough maintaining losing calories on anti psychotics. Don’t think I could do 1200.
Unless it’s changed the most you should consume daily just to maintain your weight is 2000. Idk tho my sister lost a lot of weight and said the amount of Cals you take in depends on your starting weight but she’s not a dr or nutritionist. I would call maybe a nutritionist. You could google it but believe it or not you can’t find everything online
Maybe if I exercise absoloutely loads I can do it.
Yeah but I think if your exercising a lot you can consume more calories.
I lost 93 pounds in a year by eating 1200 calories per day and getting 20-30 minutes of cardio 4 to 5 days per week and weight training 20 to 30 minutes 3 days per week.
My doctor said to eat a low carb high meat and veggies 1,200 calorie and absolutely no sugary drinks with diet and I started it before and lost 10 lbs but I started eating sweets and sugary drinks and stop counting calories again and it started making me gain again
How did you manage to stick to 1200 calories on anti psychotics?
Try 1400 then. You’ll still lose, just slower
Determination. I’ve been publically humiliated over my weight more than once. I kept my protein intake high to keep full but still ate plenty of carbohydrates
@LilyoftheValley my doctor said no carbs
Ok. Then stick with a high protein diet
@Star84 , go here to figure out the maximum number of calories you can eat, and still lose weight.
Obviously (I don’t mean that rudely). Personally if I could I would go to a nutritionist.
If you’re eating 2,200 calories a day AND your exercising something is wrong if you’re not losing weight.
More likely than not your consuming more calories than you realize.
I have absolutely no idea how many calories I consume per day and I’m proud of it.
I am still losing weight though.
Albeit not at a rate of 1kg per week which I find is too much weight loss per week for me
I don’t count my calories.
Not all products say how many calories they are and I think it’s too difficult.
I was 55 kg when I ate belvita breakfast biscuits for breakfast.,
A weight watchers bar for lunch or a toasted cheese sandwich.,
Two sausage and pasta cheese and vegetables for dinner or schnitzel and chips and vegetables for dinner.(had that every week)
Now I’m on a vegan diet I’m 60 kg.
I try to be healthy but have been binge eating lately.
Vegan Oreo slice is trouble for me.
Ha ha ha
It’s sooooo delicious.
Probably best chocolate cake I ever had.
Been eating lots of pizza and chips etc too and I’ve always been a sucker for bread with butter.yum.
I will see if I can meet a dietitian.
I feel absoloutely terrible about my weight. Don’t know what to do. Feel hungry often.
Why do you feel terrible about your weight. Are you gaining?
