I know this may be obvious to some but it wasn’t to me. It may not be to a lot of people either.
Every 4-6 weeks as you lose weight you need to recalculate your calorie requirements. Especially if you are doing something like CICO. I notice a lot of people are hitting plateau as I was and I don’t think they realize this.
In fact starting at a low calorie deficit isn’t great. Mainly because I notice you plateau quickly. Then without being able to go much lower you have no choice but to essentially starve yourself.
If you want to lose weight and lose it effectively I’ve learned you can’t rush it.
Let’s say you want to lose 50lbs. Sure you can lose it right away through various means but I always notice people usually give up, they lose it in ways that are not sustainable in the long run and gain it back.
If you aim to lose 1lb a week in a year you will have lost the weight. Without starving yourself.
I’m not very good at explaining this but the best way to do this is through zigzag dieting. I’ll link below the best way to calculate for weight loss. Every time you lose I’d say around 5-10lbs recalculate. It’s been the best thing to work for me so far. It tells me what I need eat everyday when I put my weight and exercise levels in and how much I can lose if I decide to workout more that day.
I’m averaging about 1 to 1.5lbs per week. I weigh myself every 6 weeks. If I weigh myself more than I end up getting discourage because weight fluctuates depending on the day.
So be easy. Slow and steady wins the race. I promise it’s worth it.
