Hating yourself won't make your health improve
Exercise should be an act of self care, not a punishment for how others perceive your body
Food is energy *and* comfort and culture, not just calories
If someone you don't even know comments on your weight, your build, your shape they are not concerned for you,
they are angry you don't fit into their ideals of what makes someone deserving of respect
because they martyr themselves in the ice cream aisle and you exist with an extra 5/10/50+ pounds
dieting is anything that works, even if it kills you, and you shouldn't settle for less because otherwise you are lazy and fat and subhuman
the way people treat you when you lose or gain weight is disheartening
how much should I weigh to be respected as a person?
#im ranting about fatphobia#like I want to lose weight and exercise and eat nutritious foods#but I hate diet culture#i hate how eating disorders are downplayed and encouraged at the same time#im sick and tired of it#i love my body and why does that make people angry#is it a sin to lose weight and become thin when you were fat before#its still the same body#its my body#im the same perspn as before#body positive#fat hate#plus size#fatsp0#fatph0bia

Another ramble about working at the gym...
(TW: Eating disorder)
I'm the most overweight on the whole team. I had to have been a body positivity diversity pick or something. But being in an environment like this, where everyone is obsessed with strict training and nutrition, is making me a little nervous.
As part of our team-building vulnerability talk, I told everyone I have struggled with disordered eating since I was 9, I talked about my yoyo weight loss journey, I talked about my horrible relationship with fitness up until just a few months ago, and I talked about body dysmorphia. Everyone was so supportive and knew it was hard for me to open up about it all, so I know my team respects me. Some actually approached me after the meeting to express their support and told me they were proud of me-- one older woman even told me about her struggle with anorexia and said I could come to talk to her anytime, but I still can't help feeling out of place.
Everyone else is super in-shape and has a history of playing sports and loving exercise. Even after I've worked hard in recovery, I have this toxic inner critic telling me I don't fit in and that I don't deserve to be here.
I accidentally(?) started counting calories again today. It's 1pm and I'm at 1,400 which I KNOW is healthy and good, particularly because I've eaten mostly nutritious foods today and took another really hard HIIT class. But my skin is almost crawling with a sense of dread and guilt, I don't want to fall back into bad habits and obsession with calories, but it almost feels like it's the only way to not feel like I stick out like a sore thumb at work.
Maybe it's just a temporary feeling. I know I'm strong, I was using the heaviest dumbbells in the HIIT class out of all the women and I was proud of myself. I've tried so hard to love my body and focus on building muscle instead of only losing fat, but it's almost like all of my effort is crumbling under the new feelings of insecurity I'm facing.
I don't want to relapse.
I'm scared.

it’s been almost a month since i started genuinely trying to lose weight, and other than a very bad few days bc vitamin d deficiency, ive been doing really well.
major wins:
-i’m fasting so easy. my daily goal is 14 hours and im usually doing 17-19. it feels so much better than eating every 4-6 hours like my old ed recovery team told me to.
-staying in a deficit. even when i’ve binged when i average out the week ive stayed under bmr. amazing. and now with my supplements in place (btw these are doctor prescribed! do not take supplements without checking to see if you need them) my hunger is getting under control again.
things that need major work:
- exercise. huge blizzard has kept me from gyming, and i get really embarrassed exercising in front of people so with my wife with me 24/7 i haven’t had alone time. im starting yoga classes again once the snow is cleared and my bestie wants to gym with me too. wish me luck!
-eating more variety of foods/sticking to diet. i want to do liquid diet but im struggling to not want to chew. and the solid food im eating is like vegan mac n cheese and ice cream. i’m staying under but i really do care about my health and not just cals in vs cals out. i think i may need better low cal recipes like dinners and shit. i’m really good at cooking healthy dinners that are nutritious and tasty just not low cal. omad maybe? idk i’ll take advice if anyone has any :)
i think i’m overall proud so far and know what needs fixing just need to figure how to do that.

I swear, eating when u have an ed in a house where all they buy is junk food is so hard. Like I end up eating a few of the battered chicken strips from the freezer because we don't have much else, and then I've used up a bunch of calories and the only options are like, fries or chocolate or some really fattening stuff which has no nutrients and is basically just flavoured junk because they won't buy any vegetables or fruit or stuff because its "too expensive."
Be fuckin for real, that jumbo KFC freezer pack you bought last week cost more than a pack of apples, and if you stopped just ordering fast food when you got too lazy to cook, maybe you'd have enough money to get healthier food? Idk, just a thought.
And I hate the way they'll complain about being fat because of it, even when I've wrote wholeass shopping lists with healthier alternatives and been on websites and written down all the prices to keep it in our budget, and they just continue to buy so much junk.
My whole family is obese, in the dangerous way. Heart problems, strokes, diabetes and other weight related issues run in the family, and if I even lose the tiniest bit of weight, they'll start restricting my food choices so I gain it back again, which is so fucking infuriating.
Like last time I told my mom I was going on a diet, a few years ago, she bought fast food for dinner almost every night that week, and made me eat it, saying she spent all her money on it and I needed to eat it because she spent the last of her money on it, and it would be so rude and disrespectful not to.
I didn't tell her when I started restricting this time. She's started commenting on how little I'm eating though, just because I left the tiniest bit of food when she cooked me like a whole weeks worth of food in one sitting 💀
She even gets mad if I exercise. I swear my family wants me to stay fat. My laxatives and fasting are literally my saving graces at this point omg. But yeah. That's the whole rant. It's so fucking hard to stay consistently under my calorie budget when everything Is SO high calorie, and like, after a 24 hour fast I want something nutritious, not just a block of fat and sugar disguised as something else.
#ed but not sheeran#4norexi4#ana stuff#ana trigger#tw ana diary#im legit so overweight already i can't take another calorie or ill explode like that pop the pig game#ed vent#ed bllog#tw ed rant#4n4r3x1a#only pro for myself#st4rv3#st4rv1ng

HEY SO THIS IS AN EXTREMELY MISLEADING POST
Part of the territory of being a professional chef is that I have to know about nutrition and dietary-related matters. In addition to my education on food preparation, I was taught extensively on health, nutrition, bodily processes, and so on. Also, I have firsthand experience of losing/gaining weight via diet AND EXERCISE. I was a heavyset guy with all manner of genetic impairments stacked against me and my health, but I still managed to lose 70 pounds over the course of a year.
In general, OP is somewhat correct if we’re talking about weight strictly in numbers. Exercise alone will not see your weight fall very much. And as OP listed, there are a number of factors that limit one’s ability to lose weight. Everyone is different, and how bodies function vary greatly. However, this post fails to mention what exercise actually is and, if it doesn’t help lose weight, then what the point of it even is. Furthermore, he has sources for the very specific examples in which someone’s ability to lose weight is impaired, but doesn’t provide sources for any of his other claims.
Weight loss occurs when the body burns more calories than is consumed. Exercising burns calories.
Now, the issue is that exercise doesn’t burn as many calories as you think. For example, running a mile will only burn an average of 100 calories. This number will vary depending on the person running that mile of course, but in general you’re not getting any numbers much higher or lower than that. Additionally, as you exercise, you’re also working and building your muscles, which will actually cause you to gain a little weight via muscle mass. However, this isn’t a bad thing! Muscle mass is more dense than fat, so while your weight in numbers won’t decrease rapidly, your physique will become more defined.
Now I know this won’t be the most fun thing to hear, but the trick to getting the most out of exercise is DIET. You need to watch how many calories you consume paired along with how many you burn via exercise. If you end the day with more calories burned than consumed, you will lose weight! And eating nutritious food along with regular exercise will ensure that the weight loss is healthy weight loss.
The biggest hurdle with weight loss is RESEARCH and COMMITMENT. You need to know what food to eat, its nutritional content, what exercise routine is best for you, how many calories it burns, etc. And after you have everything figured out, you need to STICK WITH IT. It’s extremely hard to have the motivation to follow through with such a routine for weeks, months even. And it’s also very easy to lose that motivation. But as long as you know what you’re doing and having the strength to do it. When I lost 70 pounds, it took me a YEAR, and hey wouldn’t you know it I gained it all back five years later lol. But I still exercise and work out. It helps me manage my weight, and my muscles are getting pretty darn big to boot.
I want to end this by saying that posts like this do more harm than good. I get what the heart of OP’s message is, I really do. It’s about body positivity, and that some people will struggle with weight loss because of conditions beyond their control, and in general you don’t need to be slim to be healthy. BUT. The aggressive defeatist undertones and lack of information where it’s really needed make it extremely easy to lose the motivation for diet and exercise before it even begins. People are in the comments in despair because it seems like any effort they give into exercise will be wasted, and OP is just feeding that despair further from what it looks like.
Don’t let this post discourage you from exercising nor from pursuing weight loss. It will be a very long and hard road should you walk it, but you can walk it. And also, like, don’t take health advice from anyone on Tumblr imo. Don’t take this post at face value. Hell, don’t take MY response to this post at face value. I didn’t have any sources, after all. I’m just some big stinky idiot guy with a decade of experience with nutrition both professionally and personally who can’t really be bothered to cite what I learned in college/CIA.
(Also, OP’s blog seems like it specializes in important medical topics but presented in an aggressive inflammatory way? And they’re pretty active on everything going on so they’ll probably see my Big Stinky Idiot Guy rant and call me a Big Stinky Idiot Guy and epically own me, so if what I say does reach OP’s audience let me reiterate: DON’T TAKE HEALTH ADVICE FROM ANYONR ON TUMBLR. EVEN IF OP CLAIMS TO BE/IS A DOCTOR. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH.)
Me: Exercise does not cause weight loss. This is a fact that has been demonstrated so robustly in research that even doctors, who hate and fear evidence, are grudgingly starting to admit this.
Someone reading that post: Cool, but have you considered that exercise leads to weight loss?
Me: I am going to eat you

This image is from 2013 or earlier, so this was way before Trixie's redemption arc with Starlight. Looks like the picture was originally on an "Ask Anthro Trixie" blog that's no longer around. Artist is Watchful-Wristrocket, known on most other sites as American Anomaly, or AA-Artstuff.
More food-related fetish stuff on this person's channel, though I mean I can't be shocked that the pinecone thing has an overlap with that sort of content, hah.
Anyway, I don't know much about the ask-blog that sparked this. I wonder if this was just some one-off picture or if it was actually in the middle of some sort of self-improvement character arc. But for some reason this picture has got me wanting to do some analysis and rambling.
She's expressing some issues with self-worth, and seems generally negative, but frankly that's much better than staying arrogant and ignorant, and not realizing the ways that her actions hurt people.
This kind of introspection is important to lay the groundwork for self-improvement, but it can be a long road, and along the way it can be easy to spiral down into different forms of depression. You have to understand that everyone makes mistakes, but work to improve what you do have control over, and build up a well-rounded sense of self, with some consideration for how you're perceived by others as well.
Through my own mental health struggles over the years, I've found that sleep, diet, and exercise have a significant, direct impact on my daily mood, and that improving those can improve my general longer-term trend of mental health. That, and setting boundaries for the ways I interact with people, and not getting overwhelmed or taking on too much more than I can handle at one time.
Of course, there's a lot of privilege needed to be able to eat well, exercise, get enough sleep, reduce stress, and control your habitat and social environment. But being aware of the impact of all of those factors, and being able to identify them as specific things that are affecting your mental health, are important, and if you're able to chip away at those with little differences and little improvements, it can lead to some big changes in one's quality of life.
My point here is that Trixie's probably fixating too much on weight, and that flash diets rarely pay off in the long-term. Regular exercise is good, but should be done in the interest of improving day-to-day movement and not specifically to lose weight. For her diet, she should try expanding beyond her comfort zones with new types of food and try to integrate a well-rounded variety of nutritious ingredients into her everyday routine.
Back into the universe of the blog here, instead of eating a whole plate of nothing but pinecones, she'll probably see better long-term benefits from having smaller pinecones incorporated into every meal, or periodically throughout the day.
Anyway once again, Happy New Year to everyone reading. Don't go nuts with hollow resolutions, and instead try to get a deeper understanding of the factors that affect your physical and mental health, and what you can do to improve them.
I wish you all well, and remember, a pinecone a day keeps the Ursas at bay.

Setting Intentions, Not Just Resolutions
Get the complete information here
The start of a new year brings with it a sense of renewal and hope. Many people seize this opportunity to make resolutions: promises to themselves about what they’ll achieve, change, or improve. While resolutions can be a good starting point, they often fall short because they lack clarity, purpose, and a meaningful connection to our deeper values. That’s where intentions come in.
Why Resolutions Fail
Resolutions tend to be broad statements or wishes, such as “I want to lose weight,” “I’ll save money,” or “I’ll exercise more.” While these aspirations are admirable, they’re often missing critical components:
Specificity: Vague goals make it hard to determine success or track progress.
Alignment with Core Values: Resolutions may not resonate deeply with what truly matters to you.
Actionable Steps: Without a clear plan, these resolutions can feel overwhelming and unattainable.
Flexibility: Life is unpredictable, and rigid resolutions don’t leave room for adjustments.
As a result, many resolutions are abandoned by February. Intentions, on the other hand, offer a more holistic and sustainable approach to creating meaningful change.
What Are Intentions?
Intentions are purposeful and value-driven commitments. Unlike resolutions, they focus on how you want to feel, act, or grow rather than a specific end result. For example:
Instead of “I’ll lose 20 pounds,” an intention might be, “I will nurture my body with nutritious food and joyful movement.���
Instead of “I’ll save $5,000,” an intention might be, “I will approach my finances with mindfulness and responsibility.”
Intentions prioritize the journey over the destination, emphasizing personal growth and alignment with your values.
How Setting Intentions Shapes Long-Term Habits
Clarity and Focus: When you set an intention, you’re creating a clear vision for the kind of life you want to lead. This clarity helps you stay focused and make decisions that align with your goals.
Intrinsic Motivation: Intentions are rooted in your core values, making them inherently meaningful. This intrinsic motivation increases your likelihood of sticking with your commitments.
Flexibility and Adaptability: Intentions are adaptable. If circumstances change, you can adjust your approach while staying true to your overall purpose.
Reinforcement Through Reflection: By regularly revisiting your intentions, you’re reminded of why you started. This reflection fosters mindfulness and helps you stay on track.
Building Small, Consistent Habits: Intentions encourage incremental progress. For instance, if your intention is to “foster self-care,” you might start with small habits like meditating for five minutes a day or journaling once a week.
Steps to Set Powerful Intentions
Reflect on Your Values: Take time to identify what truly matters to you. What do you want more of in your life? What aligns with your purpose?
Be Specific: While intentions are broader than resolutions, they still benefit from specificity. For example, instead of “I want to be healthier,” consider, “I will practice mindful eating and move my body daily.”
Write Them Down: Documenting your intentions gives them weight and makes them feel more real. Keep them visible as a daily reminder.
Create Actionable Steps: Break your intention into small, manageable actions. For example, if your intention is to cultivate mindfulness, you might start by meditating for five minutes each morning.
Celebrate Progress: Acknowledge and celebrate even the smallest steps forward. This reinforces positive habits and keeps you motivated.
Examples of Intentions for 2025
“I will prioritize my mental and physical well-being by setting boundaries and practicing self-care.”
“I will foster deeper connections with my loved ones by being present and practicing active listening.”
“I will cultivate creativity by dedicating time each week to a passion project or hobby.”

Final Thoughts
Setting intentions allows you to approach the new year with purpose and mindfulness. Instead of chasing arbitrary goals, you’re creating a roadmap for a fulfilling and meaningful life. Remember, the key to success is not perfection but progress. As you move through 2025, let your intentions guide your journey, helping you grow and thrive every step of the way.

If I Have Excess Fat, I Tire Quickly During Exercise. How Can I Lose Fat?
If You Tired Quickly During Exercise From extra fat Then try below strategies To achieve your Goals.Carrying excess body fat can make exercise feel more exhausting, and it’s no surprise that many people wonder how they can lose fat effectively while managing this challenge. As a health and fitness coach, I often hear this concern, and I want to provide you with practical, professional advice to make your journey smoother and more effective.
Why Do You Tire Quickly?
Excess fat can weigh your body down, requiring more effort from your muscles and cardiovascular system during physical activity. This leads to faster fatigue, especially if you’re not used to regular exercise. Additionally, poor cardiorespiratory endurance and imbalances in muscle strength can exacerbate the issue.
How Can You Start Losing Fat Effectively?
Prioritize Nutrition: The Foundation of Fat Loss
You cannot out-exercise a poor diet. Your food choices play a crucial role in creating the calorie deficit necessary for fat loss.
Calorie Deficit: Consume fewer calories than you burn daily. This doesn’t mean extreme dieting—start by reducing processed foods and sugary drinks.
Protein Power: Include protein-rich foods like eggs, chicken, fish, tofu, or legumes in your meals. Protein not only keeps you full but also preserves muscle mass during weight loss.
Smart Carbs and Healthy Fats: Opt for complex carbs (like oats, quinoa, and sweet potatoes) and healthy fats (like nuts, seeds, and avocados) instead of simple sugars and trans fats.
2. Start with Low-Impact Exercises
Jumping straight into intense workouts can be counterproductive. Instead, ease into physical activity with low-impact options.
Walking: A brisk 30-minute walk can kick-start fat burning without overwhelming your body.
Swimming or Cycling: These are great for improving cardiovascular fitness while being gentle on your joints.
Bodyweight Exercises: Begin with exercises like squats, wall push-ups, or modified planks to build strength gradually.
3. Incorporate Strength Training
Many people focus solely on cardio for fat loss, but strength training is equally important. Building lean muscle boosts your metabolism, helping you burn calories even when you’re at rest.
Start with light weights or resistance bands.
Aim for 2-3 strength-training sessions per week.
Focus on compound movements like squats, lunges, and rows for maximum efficiency.
4. Monitor Progress and Adjust Gradually
Track your progress, but don’t obsess over the scale. Fat loss is not always linear, and muscle gain may temporarily offset weight loss.
Use progress photos, body measurements, or how your clothes fit to gauge results.
Adjust your calorie intake or exercise routine every few weeks if you hit a plateau.
5. Stay Consistent with Small Lifestyle Changes
Consistency beats perfection every time. Instead of looking for quick fixes, focus on sustainable habits:
Hydration: Drink plenty of water to stay energized during workouts.
Sleep: Poor sleep can disrupt hormones that regulate hunger and fat storage. Aim for 7-9 hours per night.
Stress Management: High stress can lead to emotional eating and fat storage. Practice mindfulness, meditation, or hobbies to unwind.
A Sample Week for Beginners
Here’s a simple, beginner-friendly routine:
Monday: 30-minute brisk walk + 15 minutes of bodyweight exercises.
Tuesday: Rest or light stretching/yoga.
Wednesday: 30-minute cycling or swimming.
Thursday: Rest or a short walk.
Friday: 20 minutes of strength training (focus on major muscle groups).
Saturday: 40-minute light hike or walk.
Sunday: Rest or active recovery like stretching.
When Should You Seek Help?
If you find it hard to stick to a plan, consider working with a fitness coach or a registered dietitian. They can tailor strategies to your needs and help you stay accountable
The Takeaway
Losing fat while managing fatigue is a journey, not a race. By combining smart nutrition, gradual exercise, and consistent lifestyle changes, you can overcome fatigue, build stamina, and achieve sustainable fat loss.Remember, every small step you take brings you closer to your goal. Be patient and trust the process—you’ve got this!

Story of Boombay
Hi, I’m Niharika Goenka. I’m the founder of Boombay and I’m also a food addict with a history of overtraining, bingeing, under-eating and downright gluttony. I started Arugula & Co. - a health food startup with a single point agenda - to help you #eatmoreveggies in 2018. Now under a whole new identity, I’m adding a new agenda to the list.
From my first diet at the age of thirteen, I had tried every protein shake, gone on every “healthy diet”, and even completed a Masters in Nutrition from Columbia University, only to stumble on three simple truths: nutritious food is one that is closest to its original form, unrecognisable ingredients that use numbers and symbols for names are not real food, and lastly, flavour satiates, food never does. Arugula&Co and Boombay are the results of my fifteen-year journey to better health, sustainable food and search for great flavour.
After completing my Masters in Nutrition & Exercise Physiology at the age of 24, I was asked one of two things: “Give me tips on how to lose weight,” or “When are you starting your practice as a nutritionist?”. It was assumed that I would follow the traditional path and become a nutritionist but I didn’t want to limit my career to “weight loss” as, like a lot of urban teenage girls, I too had a history of disordered eating, binge eating, and yo-yo dieting that had long convinced me that ‘dieting’ in any form was not the answer. As I was learning about things such as mindful and intuitive approaches to food, I happened to take a class that changed my life forever. Day 1 of Nutritional Ecology went like this: Joan Dye Gussow, the matriarch of the ‘eat local think global’ movement walks in, eighty-seven at the time, and tells me why the vultures outside my window at Malabar Hill were dying— if you’re curious, it’s because cows were falling sick. Back in the ’90s, we started feeding cattle NSAID’s, the equivalent of a human dose of common over-the-counter drugs such as aspirin or ibuprofen. What we didn’t know was that NSAIDs contain a chemical called diclofenac which, when ingested by the vultures that scavenge on cow carcasses, causes instant kidney failure. As the birds fell from the skies, the food systems and the cultural practices of Zoroastrians collapsed in the mere span of a decade.

The FDA has approved Wegovy, also known as semaglutide, as a prescription drug for adult weight loss and has demonstrated its effectiveness. Experts have demonstrated Wegovy’s effectiveness for weight loss, but it is not a magic bullet. If you want to lose weight and stay healthy, you should take Wegovy along with making changes to your lifestyle.
In this article, we discuss five ways to lose weight by taking Wegovy. If you’re taking Wegovy Medicine or considering it as part of your health and fitness journey, here are five ways to boost your chances of success.
What is Wegovy, and how is it useful for losing weight?
Wegovy, also referred to as semaglutide, is a traditional medicine that aids in weight loss. It functions by imitating the effects of a hormone known as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which controls appetite and food intake. Wegovy helps people lose weight more efficiently by lowering appetite and enhancing feelings of fullness.
With Wegovy, how much weight can I expect to lose in a month?
Wegovy, a weight loss injection, can help individuals lose up to 5% of their weight in a month, with potential for up to 8% after two months. This initial weight loss is comparable to other weight-loss treatments and diet interventions. Beyond three months, the true impact of semaglutide becomes evident as weight-loss injections such as Wegovy continue to yield ongoing results. After an extended period, weight loss results are much higher, with Wegovy achieving an average of 16% weight loss.
5 ways to lose weight by taking Wegovy
1. Talk to a health care professional.
Before beginning any weight loss journey, it is important to contact a healthcare expert, especially if using a prescription medicine such as Wegovy. Your healthcare professional will examine your specific health needs and devise a strategy that is both safe and effective for you. By personalizing your treatment plan, you may optimize Wegovy’s advantages and achieve long-term weight loss success.
2. Follow a healthy diet.
To make the most of Wegovy’s appetite-reducing effects, it’s essential to pair it with a low-calorie diet. Aim for a daily intake of at least 1,200 calories, opting for nutrient-rich foods that are easy to enjoy. Make an effort to include a lot of fruits, vegetables, healthy grains, and lean meats in your meals.
For added satiety and nutritional benefits, include a protein source in each main meal. Choose from options like fish, beans, tofu, eggs, poultry, lean meat, or reduced-fat dairy. It’s common to experience a decrease in appetite initially due to Wegovy’s side effects. To ensure you’re still getting essential nutrients, consider incorporating high-protein smoothies or blended vegetable and bean soups into your diet.
By following a balanced and nutritious eating plan, you can maximize the benefits of Wegovy and support your overall health. For convenient access to healthy snacks and protein shakes, be sure to explore fitlifesquest.com.
3.Adopt a healthy, physically active lifestyle.
Exercise plays a crucial role in any weight-loss journey, especially when incorporating weight-loss medications. There are two main reasons for this. Firstly, aerobic exercises like brisk walking, jogging, or cycling are excellent for burning calories and enhancing cardiovascular health. Secondly, strength training is vital for preserving and building muscle, which in turn boosts metabolism and supports long-term weight loss success.
Because muscle loss can occur with any weight-loss method, prioritizing strength training is essential. By integrating physical activity into your daily routine, you can maximize the effectiveness of Wegovy and improve your chances of maintaining weight loss in the long term.

4.Stress management and proper sleep
Sleep and stress are crucial for weight management. Poor sleep can disrupt appetite regulation, leading to increased hunger and difficulty maintaining a calorie-controlled diet. Lack of sleep can also cause fatigue and decreased motivation for physical activity, hindering weight management efforts. Stress can contribute to weight gain by triggering the release of cortisol, a hormone that promotes abdominal fat accumulation. Combining poor sleep and high stress levels makes it difficult to achieve and maintain a healthy weight. To improve sleep, establish a sleep schedule, create a restful environment, and perform calming activities before bed. If stress is out of control, adopt stress management techniques like meditation, yoga, or seeking professional support.
5.lead a long-term healthy lifestyle.
Even though Wegovy speeds up weight loss, it is normal to hit weight-loss plateaus or even gain weight at some point. It’s important to stick to a healthy routine and not give up. This way, you can keep off the weight you’ve lost and avoid gaining it back. Medications like Wegovy work best when used along with a plan to live a healthier life.
Adopt a healthy, nutrient-dense diet, stay active, put sleep first, deal with stress, and get a strong support system together. Tools that keep track of what you eat, your weight, and your habits can help you stay on track and inspired. To stay motivated, remember that the scale is not the only thing that shows you’ve succeeded. For example, if your health, confidence, or energy have gotten better, that’s an off-scale victory.
Conclusion
The Wegovy medicine offers weight loss benefits for individuals seeking better health and fitness in 2024. You can optimize your weight loss efforts by consulting with a healthcare professional, adhering to dosage and dietary guidelines, participating in regular physical activities, and monitoring progress. A holistic approach combining medical guidance, healthy eating, and regular exercise is key to success. With dedication and support, 2024 can be a year of transformation in health and fitness.

How I Lost Weight and Kept It Off By Counting Macros - My Success Story
What is Counting Macros? Counting macros is a nutritional approach that allows individuals to measure the macronutrients they consume - specifically carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. This approach differs from traditional methods of counting calories by putting an emphasis on the type of food consumed rather than just the overall number of calories. While counting calories can be effective in weight loss, tracking macros allows people to monitor macronutrient ratios for a more personalized diet. Macronutrient ratios are important because each macronutrient affects the body differently. For example, proteins and carbohydrates are broken down in the body into glucose, which is used for energy. Fats can help the body absorb certain vitamins and provide insulation. By tracking and measuring how much of each macronutrient is consumed, individuals gain a better understanding of how their body responds to different foods. This knowledge can then be used to adjust macronutrient ratios in order to reach specific health goals. What are the Benefits of Counting Macros? Counting macros offers a lot of advantages for those looking to lose weight. It can help to provide guidance and structure to your diet, while giving you the freedom to customize it according to individual needs and changing goals. With macros, you have much more control over what you are eating, since you can modify your macronutrient ratio depending on whether you are trying to gain muscle or lose fat. This makes it easier to track and adjust your diet for optimal performance. Plus, tracking macros allows you to accurately measure your intake of essential nutrients. Since macros count only the macronutrients in the food, it can help ensure that you are getting the right proportion of each macronutrient needed for adequate nutrition. Additionally, counting macros can also help you to better understand your body’s hunger signals. You can use portion control to satisfy hunger cues without overindulging, or substituting unhealthy convenience foods for more nutritious options. What Was My Starting Point? Before starting my journey of counting macros, I wanted to determine what my starting point should be. I took into account my current fitness level, body composition, and medical history, and consulted with a nutritionist to figure out a baseline. I also took into account my dieting history and previous nutrition successes and failures in order to give myself the best chance of success. I had my body fat tested with calipers so I could track my progress accurately, and planned out my daily meals for the upcoming weeks. I determined a caloric goal that was manageably low, and split my calories into a diet that included 40% carbohydrates, 40% protein, and 20% fat. This split was based off of my age, weight, activity level, and desired results. It was also adjusted to fit my lifestyle and personal preferences. Setting Up My Diet and Exercise Plan Creating a diet and exercise plan is a necessary step if you want to benefit from counting macros. Before beginning, it’s important to consider both your physical health and lifestyle. Talk to a doctor or dietitian in order to create a plan that works with your body. Be sure to include foods that you enjoy, positive diet modifications, and physical activity that will keep you motivated. Consider calculating your daily caloric needs and incorporate your preferred macronutrient ratio. Be sure to leave room for modifications or changes if needed, as your goals and needs may change over time. Also, don’t forget to take into account common lifestyle influences like social commitments or travel that may inhibit your diet and exercise plan. Making small, sensible and realistic adjustments can ensure that you stay on track and achieve your goals. Why Macros Are the Best Weight Loss Tool Macros have become increasingly popular for those looking to lose weight. Eating macronutrients in the right proportions has become a useful way to reach and maintain a healthy weight. By tracking macronutrient consumption, it allows for consistency in meals and calorie intake. Being able to monitor these elements of nutrition helps to promote a healthier diet. Tracking the macronutrient intake also allows for more accurate calorie adaption when trying to lose weight. When trying to lose weight, it may be necessary to reduce calorie intake, yet making sure the body still receives essential nutrients. Tracking macronutrient intake will help to make sure that nutrient needs are met while still maintaining the overall calorie deficit. By tracking their intake, people can make sure that they are still consuming a balanced, healthy diet while being able to lose weight. How to Count Macros for Weight Loss Counting macros is an effective way to track your diet for weight loss. It is a practice that requires weighing and measuring all the food and drinks you consume in a day to ensure that each one meets the correct calorie and macro ratio. This practice can be done daily, weekly or retrospectively, depending on your lifestyle and goals. The basic rule of thumb is to ensure that the food you eat consists of about 20-35% protein, 55-60% carbohydrates, and 25-30% fat. When counting macros, it is important to stay mindful of which types of foods make up your diet. You should focus on eating healthy, whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins and healthy fats. Sticking to these foods will help you hit your macros while also providing the essential vitamins and minerals your body needs. Furthermore, you should track how much you are eating and how many calories you are consuming each day. This will help you keep track of your progress and adjust your macros accordingly as needed. Sticking to My Diet and Exercise Plan Adhering to a diet and exercise plan is essential to achieving successful weight loss. It can be a challenge to maintain motivation when you don’t see immediate results, but if you make the commitment and stick with it, you’ll get results. It’s important to plan your meals ahead of time and pre-portion them, that way you don’t over consume. You should also plan your workouts and incorporate rest days into your routine. Having a day to recover and giving your body some TLC will help keep your training program on track and avoid any injuries or burnout. Additionally, it’s useful to keep track of your progress. Taking photos and measuring yourself is a good way to keep track of your journey and will help you stay focused. Keeping Track of My Progress The most critical step to achieving success with any diet plan or exercise regimen is keeping track of progress. With counting macros, I set small achievable goals within each category. This allowed me to measure my success and ensure I was on track with my desired outcomes. I track these goals individually, as well as looking for trends in my overall progress. Using a physical or electronic tracking system was instrumental in helping me make consistent improvements. The ability to take note of how each individual macro did and tie it back to my overall progress helped me to accurately adjust my plan and remain motivated. This made tracking my progress over time an easier and more enjoyable process. What is Counting Macros? Counting macros is a nutrition method that involves tracking the amount of macronutrients -- protein, carbohydrates, and fat -- consumed in a day. This allows individuals to focus on reaching their health and fitness goals with precision. What are the Benefits of Counting Macros? Counting macros can help people reach their health and fitness goals by providing a better understanding of how much of each macronutrient they should be eating. This method of tracking macronutrients can also help to ensure people are eating enough nutrients to meet their needs. Additionally, counting macros can help to reduce feelings of deprivation, as people can customize their diets to meet their needs and preferences. What Was My Starting Point? Before beginning to count macros, it is important to assess your current eating habits and lifestyle. Consider factors such as activity level, medical history, and overall health goals. Make sure to track your current eating habits and take note of your progress over time. Setting Up My Diet and Exercise Plan Once you have an idea of your starting point, it is important to set up a diet and exercise plan that will best fit your individual needs. Consider factors such as your activity level, medical history, and overall health goals. Make sure to track your progress over time and adjust your plan accordingly. Why Macros Are the Best Weight Loss Tool Counting macros is one of the best tools for weight loss because it allows individuals to track and adjust their macronutrient intake while still being able to enjoy their favorite foods. This method of tracking macronutrients helps to ensure people are eating enough nutrients to meet their needs and can easily help to create a healthy balance between proteins, carbs, and fats. How to Count Macros for Weight Loss To count macros for weight loss, you'll first need to determine your individual calorie needs and macronutrient ratios. Once you have an idea of your starting point, establish a diet and exercise plan that will work best for you. Track your daily macronutrient intake and adjust your plan accordingly.

Pamela lost 132 pounds
New Post has been published on https://eazydiet.net/pamela-lost-132-pounds/
Pamela lost 132 pounds
Transformation of the Day: Pamela lost 132 pounds. Her journey began in 2018 when she was facing several health challenges. With guidance from her coach, she embraced a holistic approach that focused on various aspects of her lifestyle, including nutrition, exercise, sleep, and hydration.
Social Media: Instagram: @pamgorham FB: www.facebook.com/pam.gorham Pamela’s Coach – IG: @brooktreeconsulting FB: www.facebook.com/brooktreeconsulting
What was your motivation? What inspired you to keep going, even when you wanted to give up? The increasing health challenges, especially the consistent weight gain despite my efforts, were a significant motivation. I was diagnosed with conditions like severe osteoarthritis in both knees, moderate sleep apnea, and pre-diabetes. These health issues, combined with the pain and difficulty in walking and climbing stairs, served as a wake-up call.
My self-worth took a hit with my increasing weight, and this was a driving factor in my desire to make a change.
Once she started working with Kurt (@brooktreeconsulting), I began to see improvements in my health, which provided continuous encouragement. The combined focus on sleep, hydration, movement, nutrition, and exercise led to me feeling better, losing weight, and getting out of the pre-diabetic and obese range.
Having a professional like Kurt, who introduced me to a sustainable lifestyle change and provided a structured approach, played a crucial role. This structure and support acted as a safety net during challenging times.
Seeing the results of Kurt’s work on other clients served as a visual testament to the program’s efficacy, which can be highly motivating.
While my family initially didn’t understand some of my choices, their eventual respect and support for my journey provided a significant emotional boost.
In essence, the combination of health concerns, a deep desire for change, professional guidance, positive results, and internal and external support systems kept me inspired and prevented me from giving up.
How did you change your eating habits? I used to have this routine of going to Bojangles for their chicken dinner with French fries and lemonade, followed by a large slice of cake from Nantucket. I stopped consuming that and all of those high-calorie, less nutritious foods.
When I went out for family gatherings, I refrained from eating restaurant food and chose to bring my own prepared meals instead.
My coach, Kurt, introduced me to different spices and ways to eat healthily, which helped me diversify my diet with various flavors and nutritious ingredients.
I learned it was very important to have prepared meals and a schedule to eat those meals, so I started meal planning and preparing in advance, ensuring I always had nutritious options available.
I worked closely with my coach and adhered to the meal plans he provided, which emphasized balanced and healthy choices.
Beyond just what I ate, when I ate also became important. Sticking to a consistent meal schedule helped me to stay on track and made it easier to avoid unplanned or unhealthy snacking.
I developed an awareness of my emotional relationship with food. Recognizing stress-induced cravings and contrasting them with actual hunger helped me achieve a deeper level of mindfulness about my food choices.
In summary, I made a significant shift from unhealthy comfort foods to a more structured, nutritious, and home-cooked diet. Under Kurt’s guidance, I adopted a holistic approach that included a combination of proper nutrition, meal planning, and a consistent eating schedule.
What is your workout routine? How often did you work out? My health has improved, and my right knee has been replaced. I weight train five days a week and do some type of cardio daily.
What was your starting weight? What is your current weight? How tall are you? My weight was as high as 250 pounds. I am currently at 118 lbs. I’m 5’1″ (really 5′.08″)
When did you start your journey? How long did your transformation take? I started this journey in late May 2018, and it took me 18 months to reach an optimal weight of 125lbs. However, my body composition wasn’t ideal. I continue to work on increasing lean muscle mass.
What is the biggest lesson you have learned so far? The biggest lesson I have learned is the importance of a holistic approach to health, encompassing multiple aspects of well-being, such as sleeping, hydration, movement, nutrition, and exercise. I realized that focusing solely on one aspect, like only dieting or only exercising, wasn’t effective for me in the long term.
I learned that being persistent and committed, and I realized that it’s never too late to make positive changes. It’s very important to focus on the journey and enjoy the process rather than being solely outcome-oriented. My experiences taught me that getting professional help can be invaluable, and it’s essential to drop pride and recognize when assistance is required. I believe that investing in your health upfront can save on the costs, both emotional and financial, of being sick in the long run.
What advice do you have for women who want to lose weight? 1. Focus on the Journey: Emphasize the importance of enjoying the process and the journey rather than strictly focusing on the end goal or outcome.
2. Seek Professional Help: Recognize when you need assistance, and don’t be afraid to seek help. If you’ve tried over and over again ‘to do it by yourself’, recognize that you just may need some help.
3. Holistic Approach: It’s essential to adopt a holistic approach to health, considering all aspects like sleep, hydration, nutrition, movement, and exercise. You can’t rely solely on dieting or exercising; it has to be a comprehensive strategy.
4. Commitment to Lifestyle Change: It’s not about short-term diets or fads but making a lifestyle change that is sustainable for the long term.
5. Cook at Home: I found value in cooking at home, experimenting with different spices, and discovering ways to make healthy meals that are also flavorful.
6. Consistency: Consistency is key, whether it’s maintaining a sleep schedule, eating habits, or workout routines.
7. Drop the Pride: It’s essential to admit when you need assistance and not let pride prevent you from getting the help you need.
8. Prioritize Health Over Cost: Investing in your health is crucial. Being sick can be costlier in the long run, not just financially but emotionally and physically as well.
9. Believe in Yourself: Understand that as long as you’re alive, it’s never too late to make positive changes and live a healthier lifestyle.
In summary, It’s about a holistic and sustainable approach to health, recognizing when to seek help and the importance of consistency and commitment.
