I totally forgot how this game works and I love it!!
I took a few weeks to drop some fat and went on a low calorie/lower carb diet. I'm at about 2250 calories again (increasing by 50 cals a week) and have been moderate on my carbs, but now I've taken the jump to put them up over 200g again...
The pancakes for dinner that I thought would cling to all the water I drank... nope. Nada. And I've fallen in love with chocolate milk! I've replaced my old staple of whole milk with 1% chocolate milk for the carbs without the fat 👍.
I'd forgotten that carbs burn off faster than other macros 🤘. Already gone!
Anyhow. All this to say that I LOVE CARBS!! So much energy again!! 😁

But I don’t think it’s off control

way to go, Chrisw77. I'm high carb since May, 2018, no problem maintaining weight. If anything trouble keeping from losing weight. Yes, carbs are NOT the problem, it's eating too many calories, or underactive thyroid, not active enough, or other imbalance.

Yes it is controlled, cause at the end of the week I am at target calorie intake so...it’s a controlled binge 😏🙌🏼

I've been at 55-60% carbs for a decade. It isn't the carbs. They help me towards my goals as much as protein. They may not be the building blocks of muscle but they help me push my body to help create that muscle plus they keep me on track.

Hi everyone. My job is very sedentary but I try to stay somewhat active, so exercise 3-4 times x week. I just began counting calories today. I would like to lose 15lb. What type of diet should I pursue? Low carb or what else? Thanks so much in advance for your advice!

I love Keto.... #97 lbs gone. All sorts of medical benefits for me. Energy incredible. I realize Keto is not for everyone. It works for me.

All we gotta do is learn to eat in adequate portions for our body

I lost 80+ lbs on portion control. I eat fast food, chocolate, chips, all carbs, and I’m maintaining with no issue 😏

All thanks to learning the adequate portions my body can handle. It takes a while to figure it out, but definitely worth it.

energy in vs energy out it's as simple as that.
I just prefer to get best bang for my buck with the energy in hahahahaha. crap food is crap food regardless of if you are in a deficit lol

Resistance training, .8 grams of protein per pound of lean body mass, and a calorie deficit of at least 10 percent with a top end of 25% or surplus depending on your goal. Fill diet with foods you will be able to stick to for life. Profit.

8 grams... That's intense.
How much protein are you eating on average a day? I'm at 200/220 grams and that's a task lol

Buy a food scale. Have patience. Weight not moving on the scale is not a bad thing if your calculations are on point, you could be gaining muscle.
