I'm Weekends and Too low calorie deficit. I try planning for a while, it's good week one, week two... somehow as I go it slowly goes out of control, where I start saying to myself just one brownie this week, just one piece of apple pie on the weekend, let's add a bit of icecream... I feel like I could never get enough of sweets. Then I feel like I need to make up for it eating salad all day the following days, and that just makes me crave sugar even more. I need to be modest as you say and have patience. Being too restrictive it's not helping me. And it's true I feel like I'm depriving myself all the time when actually I deprive myself a few days and then let the cookie monster loose to eat all I crave! I love you Susan, I keep coming back to your videos or IG posts to find tips and motivation. I feel like there's so much realistic info out there and most fitness instructors promise lean and fit in 30 days, I hate that. It is just so discouraging for all the normal people struggling to have healthy habits out there who keep failing and feel like sh*t cause they didn't make it in the promised time, which MUST mean I'm a failure and I'm not good enough. 😍 I admire you and love everything you say! Which gives me strength to keep on trying and believing one day I'll get this!

Um ok, so these all apply to me lol, just found your channel and I think it is amazing. I am a 49 yrs old female struggling with a 10-15 pound weight gain in the past 5 years. Trying to figure it all out because what I did when I was younger ( cardio)no longer works. Loving all the great info❤ just subscribed 👍

Planning. That's why I've stalled out. I've been doing the "screw it" thing for about three months now. I've stalled out at a weight I like but not quite my goal.

It’s always come back to the fact you are eating more calories than you burn. Somewhere somehow. 😅

You are soooo correct. I plan my dinners out a month in advance, I normally eat the same things for breakfast, a BAS for lunch. 🪴

How do you feel about Keto and intermittent fasting or an 8 hour eating window for women? In your experience, do women in their 40’s and 50’s do well with weight loss following this? Is it something that you would recommend? If so, could you please do a video on that with how to start it? Thank you for your excellent videos and information.

I honestly don’t recommend either be abuse neither one is sustainable over the long haul. IF maybe but even sticking with that isn’t easy to be consistent with. No need for either

Hi, I just came across your videos. I so much like what I have seen so far, that just subscribed. I am struggling to loose weight slowly accumulated over years. What is your opinion about calories versus macros? Where should one start? Feeling at a loss with all the weight loss plans out there. Thank you in advance.

I’m 49. I’ve been working out with weights but I can’t seem to lose pounds. I use My Fitness Pal to track and think it’s my total caloric intake that I need to increase. I eat 1,400 calories a day with macronutrients set to 20 g of carbs, protein 40 g, and fat 40 g. Can you please advise? I most always do not eat my 1400 calories either.
@Sarah-who3 жыл бұрын
My regular calorie need it's 1900, I'm 1.7m, 65kg. Work out 3 times per week (weights, pilates and TRX) and my low calorie deficit goal it's 1500. I don't know how you count protein 60g. My nutricionist told me to weight my food before cooking it: Red meats 120g twice a month Salmon or fatty fish 150g twice a month The rest of meals for the month i can choose between: • 2 eggwhites and 1 egg yolk (max 4 times per week) • 150g chicken breast (max 4 times per week) • 200g of white flesh fish (as much as I want) • 200g squid or shrimp with out head (i love the heads... But they are all fat) (2-3 times per week) • 60g dried raw legumes (frijoles, lentejas... Cooked are about 200g) (as much as I want) So I can just vary my week picking from this options trying to stay between the guidelines. I do a weekly menu, and now I'm trying to have one of my favorite desserts once a week on a day I pick. Cause not eating desserts at all made me go crazy and end up eating way too much.

You should go to a nutritionist who has a degree, not a dietitians, a nutritionist, I personally check with a clinic in Barcelona on-line, Alimmenta, my mother tongue is Spanish and I feel they understand my food and what I love to eat, so their advise it's very good for me, and they asked for my blood exams to see my overall health, they asked me to write down everything I eat for a month, and from there they have been helping me to learn how to eat balance healthy foods. I struggle cause we've all learned to be severe and restrictive so for a long time i would eat way lower my calorie goal, and long run it's failed many times. All of us have different habits and weaknesses, so I think it's really important to have professional help tailored made for our needs, at least until we get a hang of how to eat and work out properly.

I am NOT a nutritionist but based on some of Susan’s other videos I think your protein intake is way too low. Her formula : Goal Weight x 1 to calculate correct protein. For instance, I want to lose about 10 lbs so my goal weight is 130, so my protein daily should be around 130 grams. I usually only get between 100 & 112, but Susan said you don’t have to hit it exactly. I haven’t been hungry at all; my calories have been between 1600-1700 daily. Hoping I can stay the course, be patient & see results. I hope this helps...

Your protein intake is way too low.
@Starlitearcturian3 жыл бұрын
This is what Susan says; Calories amount is ideal bodyweight x 12, protein amount is ideal bodyweight x 1 gram. A diet too low in carbs will backfire on you, especially if you're working out. Track your calories and protein, don't worry about carbs and fat.
