Hi, I (F21) have been dealing with a significant weight gain because of my contraception. I've changed between contraception types over the years, but because of personal reason, the implant has been the best for me. Unfortunately, the most common side effect is, yet again, weight gain. I also adore food, so not the ideal combination..
I am 1,53m and weiging in at 74.5kg at this moment. I also have a genetic knee problem, which makes it impossible for me to do sports like any other (also no swimming says my specialist), so walking is almost the only option I have. During Covid times, I was able to walk 12km everyday and that made me lose 12kg in like 6-8 months, but after Covid I didn't have the time to walk that much anymore, so those kilo's are already back.
I understand that I need a calorie deficit in order to lose weight. I've been doing some research and that has given me a calorie intake of max. 1500kcal/day, but I'm not sure if that's entirely correct. Does anyone maybe know how I can correctly calculate this? And is a weight loss goal of 20kg considered doable?
As said before, I love food and during diets I mainly struggle with cravings and being hungry quite fast. Does anyone have any tips for this? Or any recipes that have helped you?
I'm also a student with exams and internships coming, which take a lot of time as well. So talking time management it's also not always that easy. And I struggle a lot with motivation and chronic tension headaches because of being stressed really easily, which makes me tired a lot as well.
Any tips are welcome, thanks a lot in advance!
