Any dieters here? I found that writing a strict menu up helps me stay on track, I've lost 5 pounds so far. Sorry if wrong board, I thought it was more /ck/ related than /fit/
Not a dieter per se, but I do keep track of what I eat and make menus a few days in advance, if that's what you're looking for.
I don't use any software or app or anything, though. Just a txt file on my phone.
According the file, I'm gonna bake some scones and have them with butter and jam tomorrow morning and cook up some pasta with lentils to bring with me for lunch.
Then carrot pilaf for dinner.
I've lost 16kg using the 5:2 fast diet, highly recommend
it apparently has a lot of other health benefits as well

Where are the activated almonds?

I was doing really well, I haven't changed anything, have been exercising every day, I don't understand what's happening

You see how you're losing less every week? Adjust your diet every time you lose 5lbs

Every time.
I started by simply eating less of whatever I was having, now I will sub out a meal for a low calorie option when I feel I'm overeating. Had broth for lunch and 1 slice of pizza for dinner today for example.
I practiced calorie counting for about year with MFP and a kitchen scale, now I just eyeball everything

what are the numbers in the third column?
>>7491021
amount lost or gained/variance between the actual number and the goal number
so technically I can have a gain but still be on track if my variance is still under goal
I just didn't even bother to fill that in this week because there was no change
>>7491076
You tracking calories?
>>7491104
I look to do under 1500 in, plus exercise
>>7491110
How tall are you?
That's a bit pushing it, but if it works, go for it. I'm at 192 this morning, down from 230 eating 2000 cal 6 days a week and 3000 cal one day a week (though on that one day I go for a long hike)
Why do you go to sleep so late?
>>7491124
like 5'8"ish
I was very excited when I got down to 210, I finished highschool at 210, I was ready to finally break through the milestone and then I gained
>>7491140
ok, nevermind. at that height, 1500 is not too extreme. Keep up the good work, anon! Slow and steady wins the race.

In what span of time? Should I increase my exercise routine to go with this? What days do you fast on? This intrigues me
you should be eating a very low fat diet with no snacking. only eat 2 meals a day.
I try to eat >600 calories at my 9-5 job, then I go home, usually cook up a /ck/-esque dinner, while drinking 10 or so beers.
It's a slow progress...
