Hello all, I am looking for some guidance or advice. Having failed or relapsed at my other weight loss attempts, I want to try and be smart about this process. I started 10 days ago. I am doing a 16:8 intermittent fasting schedule, as well as tracking calories in MFP. My BMR/TDEE are around 2,400 calories, and I have been attempting to be active everyday (weight training, gym cardio, or at least a walk after dinner). I have been consuming ~1,400-1,800 calories a day, while buring ~800 active calories as per my Apple Watch.
I believe I have a good plan in place, and am highly focused and motivated to get fit and healthy. I have two key questions:
- Is my caloric deficit too low? I've read conflicting information online, but as of now, my stance is that I have so much fat reserves on my body that this will not be an issue. Also, I am weight training a bit and attempting to get close to 100-130 G protein a day to help at least maintain muscle mass to help keep my metabolism up.
- Whenever I do get to my goal (assuming this current regimen gets me there), what can I do to minimize/eliminate any Yo-Yo effect? Is there anything I can implement now to help with that? I realize with my reduce caloric intake, that if I revert back to what I was doing before, I will surely gain weight. But if I consume whatever my BMR is at that juncture, even if it is higher than what I am consuming now, will that result in maintenance or weight gain?
TL:DR In the process of lossing weight using a combination of intermittent fasting + CICO + Basic gym activity, want to know if my caloric deficit is too low and could have adverse affects, either during my weight loss, or once I reach my goal.
Thanks to everyone who posts on this sub and some of the other subs revolving around health and fitness. You guys rock and are a huge part of my current motivation to get healthy and fit!
