Is this unhealthy?

I am a 29 year old 5ft 9in male, and my starting weight was 92kg (203lbs). Since Feb 11, I have lost 7kg (15lbs) in a month at a pretty consistent rate. I am limiting myself to 2 meals a day (Intermittent Fasting) and try to limit myself to around 1500 calories a day. I also picked up playing Squash for around 1 hour a day on average most days of the week, and according to my smart watch I am burning 2100 calories to 3800 calories a day depending on how active I may have been.

Does anyone have experience with this rate of weight loss and should I be concerned about anything in particular?

I am probably not getting as much protein as I should be as a vegetarian, but I am trying to take multi-vitamins, Omega 3, vit C/Zinc, and Vit D supplements.

Looking for a free Meal Plan w/ EASY to Make Recipes

Hi everyone! First post here. Sorry if it's a bit long. So I started my weight loss journey back on 9/1/23 with a goal of 60 lbs lost. I'm halfway there!

But I could also use some help. Sometimes I have setbacks because I just don't feel like going through the effort of making something healthy so I grab something unhealthy.

And hey, know thyself right? Well I'm a lazy f*ck, so anything I can do to get healthy meals easier, I'm all about it!

I've found weekly/monthly meal plans but they are almost always full of recipes with tons of ingredients for each meal. Worse is that most of these recipes don't share ingredients. That's great if you're a food blogger with infinite time to shop and cook, but for the rest of us... not so much.

I don't want to be buying 10 ingredients for 1 recipe that aren't called for in any other of that week's recipes. So I'd love to find a meal plan with a reduced ingredient list and that shares the ingredients among multiple recipes for the week. I don't mind being repetitive as long as I'm getting all the nutrients I need. I also don't mind doing some freezer meals.

I know I'm asking for a lot, but if you don't ask you never know right? Thanks in advance!

Gonna document my progress

I made a secondary account so I can track my weight loss and get help from this sub if needed! I completed my first full workout today. It was hard but I feel good about it! I'm in the bath to make sure I can at least move tomorrow lol. I'm using the Caliber app and I've found it really helpful in giving me workouts because I know next to nothing about working out. I'm also sticking very strictly to my diet, I meal plan the beginning of the week (this week is baked tilapia, protein pasta and mushroom sauce, broccoli) and I'm going to keep strength training 3 times a week! Wish me luck yall, tomorrow I may add some photos! (F 25, 5'4, 175lbs) ETA: *I don't know how I made it look like this! But it's pretty cool lol* ^^

Protein ideas please

So, I’m trying to do this thing (CICO). I’ve tried so many times and failed miserably for many reasons, one of which is the dual challenge of being 5’ 3”, 265lbs and having mobility issues due to past damage to my legs pairs with a naturally slow metabolism. I’ve always been the curvy girl, even healthy and working out twice a day as a competitive athlete as a teen - which I am now decidedly not. But I’m here again and looking for support (something new).

I’ve been avid tracker of food intake during past periods and currently, and after review, I need help with ideas on how to get more protein into my diet. I’m struggling with feeling hungry as I reduce intake. That, and tracking what I’m eating (I struggle to get to 50 grams), says I need to try.

My problem is this is the one food area I get picky about. I could be a vegetarian 80% of the time, except I love the parts that aren’t great for weight loss like cheese and milk in my coffee. Meat is challenging - some of it is a taste preference and some of it is mental. Nothing on bones, nothing in a can, nothing that swims, nothing that still looks like the original animal. I can do the occasional scrambled egg, but if I try to eat more than two they aren’t staying down because it’s mentally triggering. Eggs with cheese and veggies are ok.

Does any one have some kind suggestions for high protein items to add to meals/snacks that may help? My goal is dual: add protein but also feel full to help eat fewer calories by warding off poor snacking choices.

People have started to notice my weight loss

I’ve never posted before but have really found support and comfort from this subreddit!

I’m 5’8 F, and since September 2023 have gone from around 170lbs (I never had scales at the begging of my journey) to under 150lbs, after years of struggling with my weight/body image and doing calorie counting on and off but never being able to stay at it for longer than a month or two.

Something seemed to have stuck this time round and I have been consistent with CICO, whilst trying not to be too restrictive when it came to the weekend and socialising. I have been noticing steady progress in myself which has been motivating to keep going, but last night I was at a party with people I haven’t seen for a while and got multiple comments on how good I look and how much weight I have lost. As much as (for the most part) my weight loss has been for myself and not other people, having other people noticing my hard work has been such a rewarding experience and I think has been the moment I’ve been waiting for on my weight loss journey.

I’m now so close to my goal weight and I’m now shifting my focus more on my fitness and start to tone and see hopefully progress in other ways!

Someone noticed.. But I didn't!

I met up with a friend this weekend. I unzipped my jacket to cool down a bit and he just blurts out "You've lost weight I see."

Damn! I didn't even get the chance to brag that I've lost 10 pounds since I saw him last! 10 pounds really is nothing on the grand scheme of my weight loss, less than 10% of the required amount. And I don't see any difference whatsoever in my before/after pics.

Anyway, it caught me off guard in a good way. I am reinvigorated to continue dropping the weight. I am less than 1 pound away from finally being under 300lb. LFG!

Unexpected issue after starting with weight loss

Hi guys,

im 29yo guy (106kg, 192cm) and few days ago i decided its time to cut down the weight (target being around 90kg). I do some light exercise and i got myself an app for roughly tracking my calorie intake, which after filling all my details told me i should aim for around 2100 kcal daily to gradually lose weight. I tried to get some info on the topic (the do's and dont's) and found out that for a sustainable weight loss i shouldnt really go TOO low with the calories. I simply expected to be a bit hungry throughout the day and im fine with that even though i was used to eating just about whatever came to mind before (i never really struggled with weight up to this point).

The problem i found today though is the exact opposite of what i expected - its 9pm, my app is showing 1200 calories in and for whatever reason im not feeling hungry AT ALL (and that includes 500ml monster energy i just drank with my brother). My question is how do i approach this situation? Should i just take the easy win for the day and get some easy calories down or should i try to get to the 2100 kcal point my app gave me? On one hand it sounds like easy win on the other im a bit concerned if this could cause some issues down the line (especially if it was to happen more often). Could it be that i wasnt used to eating so much protein and now my body is in some kind of "adjustment period"? As i said im a pretty big guy so from my point of view my body has no business not being hungry with only 1200 calories in.

Has this sort of thing happened to anyone and if so, how do you go about it? Thanks for any info, im new to the whole topic so any help is appreciated :)
