I lost weight steadily for about 18 months and have kept it off for the last year. My boyfriend told me he wants to lose weight this year, and the three resources I told him to look at it to get started were these two websites and one app. In my opinion, these are the three most useful things for losing weight when you don't know where to start: • TDEE Calculator • Losertown • a calorie tracker app like LoseIt orMyFitnessPal
How to Use 1. Enter your info in the TDEE website to calculate the number of calories you eat every day to stay at your current weight. Obviously you don't eat exactly that number of calories every day, but you're roughly averaging that number over the course of time. To lose or gain weight, you have to eat less or more than that number. 2. Decide how many calories you want to eat. Enter your info in the Losertown website, including the number of calories you plan to eat, to see calendar dates of the weights you're projected to be, depending on the calories you entered. Play around with the number of calories to speed up or slow down your forecasted weight loss. 3. Start tracking your calories in LoseIt or MFP. Eat however much you want, just see how much it is, and think about what that means for your projected weight.
I think these are the most powerful tools for understanding what you need to do to lose weight. It is just math. Straightforward calculations, and you don't even have to do them yourself, all you have to do is get access to the information. The ability to commit to a lifestyle change takes a lot more than just knowing these numbers, obviously, but knowledge is power. It took me a lot of research to really understand the key points of a calorie deficit, and these three tools distill the information to just the fundamentals.
