Shelly Bynum only way to know for sure is trying it out… we all have different body’s and they react differently..

FYI try to set up a concistant diet having an optional snack or two, and only eat those snack if you need them to curb hunger. Some days are different and we don’t need the exact same on every day 👍🏻

Shelly Bynum no you just have to reduce fats or carbohydrates (remember 1g of fat = 9 calories and 1g or protein and carbohydrate = 4 calories), if you are not intermittent fasting it can be hard to do without bigger changes to ones diet.

Remember as a woman you have a week a month where you should not fast, and ideally you should try to eat a maintainance calories ( all to keep hormone in balance) 🙂

Shelly Bynum I just have to say no matter how many (or few) calories you eat, if you are not loosing weight you are eating too much to be in a deficit. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Shelly Bynum I would suggest you aim for 1g of protein per lbs of body weight.

Hey Shelly, my short answer is you are not in a deficit if you are not loosing weight.

So my first suggestion would be to get a scale, just need a basic scale no fancy stuff. Then get it to the habit of stepping on the scale 5-7 times per week.

For each week your weight will fluctuate, therefore you take the median (middle number) and that’s your weight for that week.

Doing this while eating the same amount protein and calories (I’m not that concerned with the amounts for fat and carbs as long as the calories are equal). You want to track protein as this will help you stabilise your blood sugar, keeps you satiated, and helps you build muscle from your fat storage.

When you have two weeks of weights and tracking calories/protein you can make your adjustments. If your weight is increasing or the same, drop a few hundred calories (the less calories, the easier it will be) and if your weight is dropping you are in a caloric deficit and time is your ally 🙏🏻

SoMe is toxic, you get to hide out babies your screen…

But then it’s nice you can come here and get your praises 😉

And you inspire us all, being that old and still walking is truest amazing 😂😂🤪

IMHO just drink more coffee ☕️ or take caffeine. Caffeine has an appetite repressive effect, meaning you won’t feel as hungry.

Alternatively eat a half head of shredded lettuce at every meal, that should fill up your stomac and it comes with some (not many) nutrients 😁

In other words I’m not a fan 😁

Rise n’ Shine ✨ mate 💪🏻

Love how you been able to ‘switch’ it up and start your “workout week” on a Saturday, I’m way too OCD for that 😂
