Soooo, I've been losing weight. Eating healthy and going to the gym. I'm not an idiot when it comes to nutrition, but I'm deffinately not a professional. I've been doing a low carb high protein deal and working on making working out a habit. I've made it this far and I'm 10lbs shy of my goal. The scale hasn't been moving, and it's becomming quite the motivation killer. Anyone have any tips or anything that would point me in the right direction?

Gaining weight is much harder for me. If I slack off of eating for just one day, I lose weight.
Weightlifting doesn't burn fat, by the way. You should still do it when cutting weight, but not under that impression. I've had people tell me that I should go one day with a higher amount of calories and then lower them the next day. This is called zig-zagging. Its worth is increasing testosterone levels (girls produce testosterone, just less of it), which are diminished on a calorie deficit. Testosterone has fat-burning properties. |
