liquid protein was the thing that fixed this for me. a shake is food, it is not a shortcut
a shake is food

electrolytes made a real difference to my headaches, and a pinch of salt in water goes a long way before you buy anything
[edited]you will feel weaker while losing. whether you actually are is a different question and only numbers answer it
family meals i put a small amount on the plate and nobody comments anymore. that took about a year
fibre from food first, psyllium if food is not doing it. i went straight to the sachets and regretted it
anyone tracked their protein properly for a week and been shocked by the number
[edited]dexa if you can
is greek yoghurt actually as good as everyone in here says
im lifting and losing and i cant tell if im getting weaker or just lighter
please dont go lower
[edited]🙏1
drink it if you cant eat it
is a protein shake cheating or is it just food
dexa or the bathroom bioimpedance thing, is the cheap one worth anything at all
genuinely, eat more. nobody here will congratulate you for 700 calories and we have all watched somebody get hurt by it, from memory
meal prep that survives early satiety, what actually works
eat more please
creatine has nothing to do with any of this and i still take it. five grams, cheap, well studied
how much lean mass did people lose and how did they even know
ok so if you are at 700 calories a day that is the thing to fix before anything else. please eat more, still working it out
alcohol hitting harder is one of the most consistent reports in this channel. two drinks feels like five
cold food is easier. i eat a lot of things at fridge temperature now and i cannot explain why that helps

dexa twice a year if you can afford it. the cheap scale will tell you a new story every day and none of them are true
ok so is cold food easier for anyone else or is that just me
two proper resistance sessions a week is what the room settled on. three if you can manage it
front load it
prep in portions a third of the size you think you need. big containers go in the bin uneaten

im eating maybe 700 calories a day without trying and i know thats wrong, where do i start

did anyone get body composition measured before and after
sorry to jump in i cook normally and freeze it in small pots. the food is unchanged, the portion is the only difference
ok so the risk with fast loss is lean mass, and the two things that touch it are protein and resistance work
do i need creatine or is that a completely different hobby
does the room think about protein per meal or per day
nobody here is your dietitian. we can tell you what we eat and what happened afterwards
right so coffee on an empty stomach with slowed gastric emptying is a rough combination. i eat something first now

the calorie floor question is the right one to ask. i would not go under 1200 without somebody keeping an eye on me
what did people try for constipation food wise before reaching for pills
thats too few calories
fibre from food
small portions six times a day is how i get to 130 grams on a bad week
