I Thought I would write this topic - I am not trying to offend anyone but I see some people losing insane amounts of weight...3% of bodyweight a week ect...on very low calories.
Now granted if you are super morbidly obese then this will be beneficial for your health - but for the majority of people you are probably shooting yourself in the foot.
Its tempting to want to lose weight fast - but should we want to lose weight??? I say no, weightloss should not be the goal.... FATLOSS should be the goal.
When it boils down to it we cannot accurately measure our fat loss week to week (those hand held gadgets or bodyfat measuring scales are not accurate!) and so weight loss is what can be easily tracked.
All weight loss is not equal. losing 50 lbs of weight where it is 35lbs fat and 15lbs lean body mass is far from ideal. Losing weight at a slower rate and combining with resistance training and you are going to be loosing a vastly higher percentage fatloss.
Remember, its lean body mass that gives us our TDEE figure - Its worth preserving what you have! long term the more muscle you have the easier and longer you will be able to burn of fat.
Everyone has their own journey , every single person that visits this sub is trying hard. But honestly i feel to much emphasis is put on weight loss.
Each to their own though. Whats right for someone may not be for someone else.
