Kimchi, Natto, Miso soup, tempah fermenting foods.

Get some of the good microbes back in your gut that the sodas and other artificial chemicals are killing.

Put less stuff in your mouth.

You're fat. I won't sugarcoat it, because you'll eat that too.

GLP-1 is not the answer. Self control and willpower is.

Only morons say barre isn’t a good workout. You are either going to the wrong barre classes or not doing it correctly. Most women over 30 need strength training ( which barre is) over cardio to lose weight. Cardio is for a healthy heart. Not to lose weight.

Not OP, but I'm on one and wouldn't recommend it for 20lb loss (bad side effects are possible if not likely, and people gain the weight back when they go off the med). But it's a free country...

I would totally recommend it. I lost 10 pounds effortlessly with no side effects and now I take it once a month just to stay on track. I’m so annoyed that I was scared to try it and spent years trying to lose that last spare tire around my waist!


I'm down to goal weight and taking .25 once every two weeks. Are you doing .25 a month and you are maintaining?

Also drink a lot of bone broth. It fills you up and is lower calorie.

Only eat 2 meals a day.

I’m a teacher and had an unrelated health scare at the end of the school year. Decided that if I survived I promised myself to take my health far more seriously.

Of course, it’s completely unsustainable when school starts again. Hoping to gain some habits that are reasonable to continue.


Congrats!

I walk 10k steps and day and attend a barre class 3-4 times a week. Weight isn’t moving, my diet is fairly healthy, yogurt, salad regular dinner.
Looking for tips that worked!


58 female here, and nothing worked consistently until I did the following (lost 15 lbs in a year):
--focus on protein. For me eggs, chicken and fish are my main source. I keep hard boiled eggs and tunafish ready with lots of lettuce, cucumbers, Wasa crackers.
--no snacking at all. I learned to drink iced green tea or water or an occasional diet gatorade. I learned to be really hungry before a meal.
--eat most of my calories at breakfast and lunch, make sure dinner is the smallest meal and eat nothing after. It is hard but really is my key to weightloss. I focussed on making brothy soups with something filling like lentils or barley and vegetables in them. Lots of salt and seasoning for flavor. I keep individual servings in the freezer so I can have my own dinner when cooking something else for my family.
--one cheat meal a week, always something social, so I felt I could keep on this long term.
Good luck!


I’m trying this, thank you!

It’s surprising how much less I eat now and feel fine. I overate so much before, no wonder I was overweight. Until you actually come close to passing out from starvation and exercise, you probably are massively overeating.


Gimme a fing break. You are recommending coming close to passing out to lose weight? WTF is wrong with you?


I don't agree with passing out as an indicator, but PP's schedule just sounds like intermittent fasting with a ~6 hour daily eating window. I've had success with something similar, though I usually eat between 12 pm - 6 pm and have two full meals + snack during that time. Have lost 15 pounds in 3.5 months.

I was going to start a thread with this. I am eating almost no processed food and find my appetite is so much more healthy and what it should be. I make my own salad dressings and sauces/bread/and basically everything used for a shortcut. Fage Greek yogurt is about as processed as I go. I also make sure to get enough fat and I use whole milk in my coffee which is supposedly the least processed of the choices. Weight is finally coming off-slowly. The difference is, there is no hunger battle. Lunch is my biggest meal and it's huge. Dinner is my smallest-better for digestion. Food noise only comes on before a meal. It's a big pain in the rear doing all this work to avoid processed, but for one of kids all digestive issues vanished so no need to go to the doctor.

Lol. I am a teacher too and it is so nice to be able to eat healthy meals in the summer. I've tried new recipes and it's been fun. I also believe that getting better quality sleep (no trouble sleeping due to school stress) and exercise (hello gym!) really help. The new recipes I've tried and ones I plan on making on weekends and freezing. I can make two recipes on a weekend and get 4 meals out of them. I can fill out the rest of the nights with breakfast for dinner or soup/sandwiches, etc. I've never had issues with eating healthy for breakfast and lunch but dinner has always been my weakness (Oh my God, I'm starving! I'll just eat _________).

+1. At this point the ones who aren't on a GLP stick out like sore thumbs, because they are the only ones who are fat.


It’s interesting to me when GLP users cry about the non-GLP posters being so mean. Takes a lot of selective blindness to see only that.
