🚨❗️((IMPORTANT! PLEASE VIEW THIS POST IN MY PROFILE!! ON THE MAIN PAGE THIS POST WILL BE CUT OFF AND WONT SHOW ALL INFORMATION!!))🚨❗️



Ok Sssooooooo🤔

Need to make a much needed statement to give a little help out there to some people possibly struggling with some diet aspects.

Time to drop some “knowledge bombs” 🧠

see what I did there? 😋

So I’m going to give a little push 🙌🏻
in the right direction that should help most of you experiencing the issues below 👇🏻

Here’s the deal folks... 🗣

Many of you have been doing good and losing fat or gaining muscle or both or whatever fitness/health goals you have, they have been getting done!
That’s great news! 📰💪🏻


However‼️

I’ve noticed, quite a lot of people on here saying they are having low energy levels, feeling tired out, drained, doing too much /too little, or some combination of those. 🤕🤒🛌

Majority of the reasons, are related to, consuming too few calories in a deficit, burning off too many calories, not getting adequate micro/macro nutrients/foods, Thusly, creates problems! 💀

🚩Such as:

😛🤤Increased hunger levels-
Increased hunger makes people more likely to binge! Canceling out a daily/weekly deficit, & worse case scenario possibly leading to more body fat gained.

👎🏻Which can also lead to (if not already present):

🤬👺Increasing cortisol levels
(“stress” hormone)-
When cortisol rises, from too much stress from, work/life, too much exercise, too low calories, longer time in a deficit, feeling annoyed/frustrated from not eating what you want/eating less of it/none of it, lack of sleep, lack of energy.

⤴️🎚Which Can increase:
Feeling the need to eat “comfort food” leading to canceling a deficit, increasing water retention, decreasing energy levels, decreasing feeling happy, increasing feelings of sadness, suppress testosterone, hinder immune function, promote more of an increase for both fat storage and possibly muscle loss.

There are many other reasons, problems, issues, major/minor related I can get into...

But I’ll save those for another time 😉
(Stay tuned for more details in the future👾)

But I will leave you with this option, which I HIGHLY RECOMMEND, for anyone feeling any of the above statements, and even more so for many of you on here doing any significant “low carbohydrate/keto/etc” diet, or just feeling completely crappy from lack of food/being in a deficit for the last few days/weeks/months.

☝🏻First, and foremost, ALWAYS, track everything you consume, down to the smallest pea to the largest slice of cake (mmm caaaake 🍰🤤)

✌🏻Second: Take one SINGLE DAY, to take a break from your diet! That’s right! Just ONE day this week or in the next 2-3 weeks. (whichever one has left you in a continuous deficit of calories from previous weeks at your discretion)

👌🏻Third (here’s the fun part):
I want you to EAT ANY FOODS YOU HAVE BEEN CRAVING/WANTING!
🍣🍳🍐🍊🌭🥞🍖🥐🥔🥒🍜🍱

⚠️With some very reinforced guidelines you MUST follow!

🤯😱“WHAT?!” You ask?!
“I CANT!” 🤐😷😵 you say?!

🤫Shhhh! I’ll explain....

This is NOT:
🚫A “CHEAT DAY”
🚫A “I will eat everything in sight until I can’t eat anymore!” DAY
🚫A “I already ate what I was supposed to so one more bite...or two... ok 5, won’t hurt” DAY

⛳️This is a day with PURPOSE!

🚧GUIDELINES TO FOLLOW FOR A DIET BREAK DAY🚦

1: ONLY consume the amount of calories that will EQUAL your MAINTENANCE calories (the amount to maintain weight) or 150 calories over.

2: TRACK EVERYTHING YOU ARE EATING! Weigh it, log it⚖️📋 DOUBLE CHECK NUTRITION LABELS!

3: MAKE SURE THAT YOU INCORPORATE THIS DAY INTO YOUR WEEKLY DEFICIT!
So don’t just consume 2000 calories (random number) and then forget to take the difference in cals from the rest of the days, make sure that if you need X amount to equal a weekly deficit, that consumed the 2000 (or whatever) calories still equals the X deficit for the week.

4: (The most important part)
The next day...

DO. NOT. FREAK. OUT. AT. THE. SCALE!!!!!

Temporarily re-feeding your body, will always result in weight gain the next day, and with the above parameters set, IT WILL NOT BE BODY FAT! Not even a little. It will be, increased glycogen levels, water weight, poop, undigested food, higher carbohydrate intake, higher calorie intake.

Continue your weekly deficit as normal and you’ll lose body fat just fine by the end of the week!

So relax. Enjoy. DONT WORRY!. Your body will thank you.

Feel free to get back to me with the results or share what foods you decided to eat. We all need snack ideas 😋

I’ll start... I will eat anything sweets wise. Especially chocolate. Donuts, pie, Villiage Inn pies are the best tho. But my usual go to snacks are breakfast burritos, cheeseburgers, or snack cakes 🤩

a lot of what you're saying is true but in the case of low carbers, like me, it takes time to switch from your body turning to fat for energy instead of carbs so eating carbs can actually make it harder to return to low carb...I do maintenance some weekends and allow my carbs to be higher but I never ever allow myself to eat anything that is carb laden (chocolate cake, pizza...stuff like that) - we're talking I let myself have a sugar free pudding I know is 11 carbs...something like that. Sugar addicts can not return to sugar! That's like telling an alcoholic that they should allow a shot of liquor a week!

Sugar addiction is just like any other addiction, but that is something different then this post, an addiction is a problem, that is where something outside the scope of normal advice for the average dieter comes into play, that’s when they need to seek help. But Your body especially will crave higher fat/carb sources when depleted from them for extended periods of time. Because the brain and other areas of the body almost exclusively run on blood glucose... But, that is where the willpower part comes in into this equation and my post. But my post is not saying “return to sugar” It’s up to people to control themselves and that is why this diet break is in place. To help control. The more you put something off the more likely binging on it will happen, I’ve been there before, and so have many others on here. That’s why I made this post, to help. What you’ve been doing sounds just fine, sugar free options are always a great substitute also, i use the Dannon light & fit yogurts for lower calories and higher protein/no fat on a weekly basis for my deficit. But whatever helps keep you satisfied and helps aid in a continuous deficit, that’s the right way to go 👍🏻

Thank you. I will save this for later. Right now I am glad to say I am doing good.

thanks for posting this. the only thing I might add is that I met with a nutritionist to help build a personal plan for me based on my activity and nutrition needs (specific to my medical restrictions) - it isn't a diet - it is just how I fuel my machine to meet my needs. I really try to rely on solid science and physics (which you have stated before)...not Dr. Google or the latest fad. So far - my results have been pretty good.

I like this advice and agree with it. I have never completely deprived myself of something for the sake of losing weight. I control what I eat and don't go overboard on the occasional sweet treats. I had not thought about it in terms of the weekly calories tho, and the deficit. I suppose that's why I didn't notice a difference on the scale when I indulged in birthday cake a couple of days and went over my daily calories, by just a little. I'm not doing Keto, just reducing my carbs, limiting my grains but not shunning them completely and simply trying to make healthier choices. I believe our bodies need carbs to function. Fruits and veggies contain them. Foods of the earth contain the nutrients our bodies need to function. It doesn't matter to me what "research" says about our bodies not needing carbs. In a few years, research will be saying, "yes, actually, you do need carbs." So I certainly appreciate your approach!

Great information and if I weren't on the HCG diet I would try it. Fortunately I don't need the above right now, but I will file this away for later.

Thank you for the information. I always look forward to your knowledge.

Thanks for the post, I feel already better just thinking the cake I would eat :)

Had pizza and breadsticks on Sunday. I was following your advice without realizing it :)

DEADPOOL, thank you, thank you, thank you! I was getting so discouraged, but you answered all my questions. I had read about this solution, but you detailed it out here for me. Awesome, I am eating some beans, pinto beans!

Thanks for the info. I have been feeling rather tired but this week upped my calories and today felt better than I have felt in weeks. Even slowly losing.

Always appreciate the kind words back from everyone and to know that things are going well for everyone here 👍🏻 Just keep it up everyone! Also I can’t edit this but I noticed the line under, when I put “increased hunger levels” I accidentally typed “decreased” damn autocorrect 🤦🏻‍♂️I meant to say increased hunger leads to binging, but I’m sure you peepz got that.
