Feeling angry at the weight loss lies I was told

19F, 5'7, SW: 230, CW: 210, GW: 130

My mother always told me that I wouldn't be able to lose weight without a keto diet since she and my father were only able to lose weight with a keto diet. I was lucky enough to not experience the worst my genetics had to offer with my 400 lb parents, but 230 was still much too high for my height (5'7). Almost all I heard from the people close to me was whatever fad diet was trending at the time. Never solid nutrition advice. Now at 19 I'm figuring it out on my own. The worst part? It's so simple. It's not easy but it is so painfully simple. 2 months of a healthy calorie deficit and I'm down 20 lbs. That's it. No keto, or paleo, or low FODMAP, or any of that. It was all lies because my parents couldn't be honest with themselves. I spent years stressing over this weight just for it to fall off the moment I actually tried what's been proven to work.

The chemistry of losing weight. Can we take advantage of it?

Hi all!

I'm new and at the start of my weight loss journey (44M 5'8" start weight: 235lb current weight:228lb goal:185lb). I'm going to the gym regularly and doing a healthy mix of cardio and resistance training, I've started counting calories again (even though I hate it), am making good food choices, drinking lots of water, and getting plenty of sleep.

My calorie deficit isn't huge, so my progress is slow, but that's the way I want it to be.

But I'm scientist at heart and I'm trying to figure out a way to make my workouts more efficient and so I was looking at how we actually burn fat in the body and trying to figure out how to increase the process.

Now, I'm a scientist at heart, not in practice, so if I make a mistake, please be patient. I will gladly accept any and all well intentioned criticism.

Our body stores fat as triglicerides. To lose fat, we need a combination of enzymes the body produces (ex lipoprotein lipase) and oxygen. The triglycerides break down into carbon dioxide and water which is either breathed out (CO2 and water vapor) or comes out in our waste (water).

So I'm wondering if there's any research (I haven't found any) in how to increase the amount of the enzymes our body produces and increase our blood origination to fuel the the enzymes breaking down the triglycerides.

Does anyone know if this has been researched?

Lack of motivation? Not sure how to describe it

Logically I know I’m obese/fat. I enjoy working out but I eat far too much for the exercise to balance out anything. I physically feel gross, heavy, etc. and yet, when it comes to having the determination to do anything about it, I just don’t? It’s weird to describe. I love the idea of looking better and feeling happy with my appearance. I also want to live a long life. Yet the motivation to actually do anything about weight loss is not there on a day to day basis. Has anyone else felt this way? How did you deal with it and start losing weight despite the lack of strong motivation?

Healthy options while on the road

I travel for work year round and unfortunately don't currently have access to a kitchen and even a fridge right now. I started working out but am aware diet is a very important part of weight loss and getting healthier again. Does anyone have recommendations on eating out and trying to eat healthier at the same time? I have 2-3 more weeks at my current location and luckily I should have a kitchen to cook in again soon. When I head to my next location I plan on starting to meal prep So I stop eating at gas stations 5 to 6 days a week for lunch. I appreciate the advice.

Lost all Gains

So 3 years ago I went from about 500 down to 330 in about a year. Spent the last 2 years slowly gaining back. I did break my foot twice and i know a lot of it is just life getting just worse and worse in other areas, so i have gained most of it back. I am currently about 440lbs and just struggling with everything weight loss related. I am 46 so obviously this is a serious issue, but i just cant get any momentum going to get back into everything. I still log my food everyday, i need to workout more, but i am also working about 60 hours a week so its hard to get it. I dunno if this post should be here or if it should be it a depression one. Any tips for getting some sort of weightloss going again?

Concerns About Weight Loss

Hello all!! I’m currently freaking out a bit because my period is 5 days late (I’m a lesbian so ik I’m not pregnant) and I’m worried that I’m hurting myself with my current ongoing weight loss. I’ve lost a total of about 10 pounds since the end of August, which I thought meant I would be okay since that’s only losing about 5lbs per month. However, I will admit I’ve been largely forgetting to eat during the day and getting most of calories in at night. I thought that the time you ate didn’t matter bc your body can still use the calories to prevent malnourishment, but my period was early by a week and a half last month and now it’s nowhere to be found. I’m especially concerned bc I’m scared I might start losing hair, which ik can happen when you lose weight too rapidly. I’ve been taking a vitamin, doing my best to get a decent amount of all nutrients, and most of the time I at least have a protein shake or eggs in the morning (it’s jsut I normally don’t eat again till 3-6 depending on the day) Is it possible that my period is missing bc I’m malnourished? Idk what to do please help lol
