@ryanlillwashington: You don’t have to hate your life in a calorie deficit. Stop overcomplicating things. #Fitness

Deborah Zimmerman :

I need to know how u are after ur surgery???

bdechant :

Exactly! Perfectly said!

jewelsreviewer :

Eating makes me tired

Rachel | Crimson Quill Press :

People need to stop equating a calorie deficit for weight loss with optimizing their diet for health. Calories in vs calories out is the end-all be-all for weight loss.

summer childers :

babe the ones in the back may need to hear it again.... some ppl with never get it

Carrie Elaine :

Praying for you post-op babe! 🫶🏻

Rebecca :

Beginning here

Agreed on every single point. I lost 270lb without WLS or meds (nothing against them but I hate forced restriction and my insurance won’t cover WL meds, and I am not diabetic), and starting slowly and easily is the best way. Then tack on things every few weeks - start counting your protein. Try aiming for more protein. They intermittent fasting IF you think it might help you stick to your calories (it’s not magic, it doesn’t help everyone). Slow and steady wins the race!

BeeRiRi :

I’m someone who was once a beginner. A beginner in the time before the Internet was what it is today in terms of a resource. A beginner who eventually lost 155lbs walking and counting my calories. I will tell you you are ABSOLUTELY correct with all of this. Thank you. Wish I had you around when I was going through it.

Tanya Berryhill :

How do you figure out your calorie deficit?

Bunny :

Thank you, babe!

meg :

A food is not inherently bad and putting shame on a food item like that is so counterproductive. Thank you for speaking out like this 🫶

Apeyyy :

A year difference- calorie deficit but I still eat the ice cream, just not EVERY DAYUM DAY, babe. Trying to work on muscle now

Tori 🎀❌️ :

THIS!!

sameebeth :

Thank you for being such a fierce advocate for beginners!

Jackie :

I just started back at the gym today

Corrine :

I ate what I wanted on a calorie deficit, I lost 75 lbs. it stuck with me. I also tried intermittent fasting and that REALLY helped

Barberella ✨🫶🏻✨ :

THIS IS SO TRUE! I would never have gotten started if someone hadn’t said “eat whatever you want as long as it’s in a calorie deficit”. The mastering macros happened slowly and naturally as my brain adapted to tracking and I started trying to figure out high volume/low calorie foods. But when I started I was eating fast food and crap and still losing weight. It’s been a little over a year and 90lbs gone.

Thank u for giving us a voice to all the things that we can’t explain 💙💙💙💙 i love your page 💜💜

tmaddex1 :

I have no idea what macros are. Should I?

Chicacherrycola📚 :

I started my weight loss just cutting out cokes and not eating seconds. Small steps!

Janet Ruthardt :

Say it louder for the people in the back. Thank you for making weight loss attainable.

DebSocialScuba :

I tell people to try to walk more each day. And work towards 5k to 10k. I know people who typically get 1k a day. More is better but not required
