I have noticed that also - I am 6'2" and 240lbs, walk 4 miles every day and eat about 2700 to 2900 cals daily and have been maintaining.

I think your friend's confusion is pretty common, a lot of people get hung up on the 'fat burning zone' vs. 'calorie burn' At the end of the day, weight loss comes down to creating a calorie deficit. Lower intensity burns a higher percentage of fat, but higher intensity usually burns more total calories (and often more fat calories too). Something that really helped me was pairing exercise with structured guidance. I personally found ongo weight loss useful because they focus on both lifestyle changes and medication support (like GLP-1s), so it's not just about how hard you ride the Peloton. It gave me clarity on diet, workouts, and how everything fits together. If your friend wants results, maybe suggest combining exercise with a program that emphasizes consistency and sustainable habits instead of chasing exercise 'zones'. ... View more

@BamaDan : Hey, you do what you can! With those hurdles, 35K is LOT of steps!! You went at it for a full 24 hours too, which is serious commitment. My pace definitely slowed down a lot over the day too. I rarely get passed by anyone but joggers normally, but by the end of the day was getting passed by other walkers. I think getting tired and sore meant I was taking shorter steps too. I should go compare miles to steps and see. will ... View more

Chiming in here as I see this thread has been dead for a bit but I found blogs and threads like this helpful a few weeks ago when I was considering this detox. I'm on Day 11 and wanted to share my experience and encouragement for anyone searching. First of all - I just hit a wall where I knew I was making a lot of small bad choices and I saw a photo of myself where I just looked swollen all over (and 15ish pounds overweight) so I was determined to do a reset on my choices and how I felt and this seemed like a good start. I did MAJOR prep and planning which was the only way it worked. I looked up recipes (paleo & keto & modified them), prepped snack bags with various cut veggies and nuts and did a couple of big cooking days to have it all ready. Some of my favorites were things like sheet pan suppers with veggies/meats/spices/avocado oil, I bought a shrimp cocktail tray at Costco and that was a great option to chicken, we grilled Ribeyes one night and had those with mushrooms & asparagus, and I made a few jars of homemade salad dressing that didn't need to be refrigerated (olive oil, vinegars, spices). I also drink (2) Spindrifts a day which gives me a treat feeling. I thought coffee was going to be the hardest so I started my day with a cup of earl grey tea which I think helped ease me off caffeine. Now I don't need it! Day 1/2 - Excited and energized, Day 3 - Tempted a little bit, Day 4 - MAJOR CRASH!! I felt light headed all day, random sweats and so weak I could barely lift my purse. Luckily this was just one day and then from Days 5 on my energy is through the roof. I feel less achey, perky and energetic and am sleeping great. I had plans to add in a little bit of dairy today and then a little bit of gluten Saturday but at this point I'm going to just keep going but know that in a pinch, I can have those things but will need to do them in very small portions to start and it's a slippery slope. I am most excited that I cut my sugar/dessert cravings. One of my goals was to jumpstart weight loss. In 10 days I lost 4 pounds on the scale so have about 10 to go but the difference I see in the mirror is amazing. No more bra back fat, I am starting to see my abs, etc. I simply cannot recommend this enough. I loved that there was no tracking, measuring, counting. Just eat animals, veggies (no potato or corn), berries, eggs, nuts/sees and water/tea. Eat as much as you want but I'm full with very normal portions and some snacks of almonds or pistachios and a Spindrift. Good luck!!!! ... View more

I have POTS, so my resting HR is high 50s/low 60s and will increase to the 120s the moment I stand in the morning. In a warm shower, I'll easily get to 120s and (on a bad day) up to the 150s. I have mild pots, though, so when I am having a good day, my morning routine will bring my hr up to the 110s. I'm not a Dr., but your hr for your morning routine seems pretty normal IF you're moving non stop in the morning. Maybe look at the quality of your sleep to see if it is increasing your morning heart rate? ... View more

Oh and it also strengthens the heart when asked to keep going and going and going over a long time, hours and hours. Moderate or intense cardio can only carry you for so long before the body (heart) needs to dig deep into its energy sources.

Hi there. I have the same problem. I can't comment about yours but my scale is a Chinese made scale... and nothing good came from China, ever. I suspect they just messed up those numbers. Because it just doesn't make sense. I hit weights every day. I have visible improvement in body composition (arms, legs, and shoulders toned up significantly). Yet, my muscle mass is 69kg to 66.6kg while my skeletal muscle percentage increased to 46.7% from 42.8%... Doesn't make sense at all. Long story short: don't buy Chinese stuff. ... View more

It’s great that you’re reflecting on your past experience! Recall that adaptability is essential. Rather than following a strict diet, think about implementing a balanced strategy that incorporates healthy foods and frequent exercise. It can be sustained by combining some of your favorite foods with nutritious ones. Another helpful strategy is to gradually increase your activity level and set reasonable goals. You're not the only one who has success striking their own equilibrium! Continue to prioritize progress above perfection. ... View more

Yes, starvation mode has been debunked. Enough experiments have been conducted to prove our bodies do not do what people who believe in it are claiming it does. Maybe slows the metabolism at most 15% but we don't magically hold onto our weight. Scientifically impossible to eat less than your burn and not lose weight, if nothing else is a factor. ...

I’ve noticed one blip on the app when assigning activities. Sometimes* I give it a half hour of walking the dog. The app gives me 60 calories. I change that Walk to Sport and it gives me 116 calories. We always walk briskly as we’re on private lanes with nobody else but us. I tend to feel the Sport assignment gave me a little more accuracy or matching to the walking than the Walk. It makes me think that they may have a formula or so many calories to minute burn rate. Or at least for walking. When it auto recognizes Walk (as opposed to me going into the app to recognize and assign) it says I burn different calories rates and it’s not the standard two per minute. and so sorry about the one paragraph and any autofill that happened. 👍 ...

My best advice is: don't give advice (my own assertion, acknowledged and ignored). Your coworker/friend/mentee is, as others have said, quite aware of their size. 400# doesn't go unnoticed by the person carrying it around. Trust me on that. The best thing to do may be to simply engage them in opportunities to be more social, more active/engaged, and perhaps model your own healthy behaviors around them. Talk openly, but not pointedly, about changes you are making in your own life- even if they are not exactly the same. If that type of relationship doesn't feel safe, authentic, genuine and sustainable to you, then truly, and respectfully, I would not even approach the subject. It's like having someone flay you open, without sticking around to stitch you back up...situations like that send a person back out into this beautiful and gut-wrenching world without their armor intact...bleeding out. I guess I am saying, i think we (helpers and healers) need to be mindful of how much intimacy we presume with others- it is a responsibility not to be taken lightly. Ones deepest insecurities and fears, should be OFF LIMITS for casual (even if concerned) inquiry, unless you are a very present, engaging, trusted, supportive, reliable friend...or their therapist. My opinion and perspective only, but it comes from lived experience, and might be food for thought... Healthy doesn't have a weight, and likewise, unhealthy exists across the scale. Moving toward wellness is the ideal direction, for every one of us...especially successful when we are ready and have support. The only way forward is through. Best wishes to you both! Be well. ...

1300ドル and I can’t get my money back. I have had pain the whole time on the program and finally realized it wasn’t just detoxing. I don’t think it’s worth it to lose weight this way because it’s not a balanced diet and it’s too extreme. Plus it’s one size fits all . Our bodies are not all alike. Iif it doesn’t work, you’re out of luck. Or if you get sick from it, you’re out of luck: There is no way to to get some of the money refunded. How do you know in the beginning that it’s gonna work for you? so you’re all excited to lose weight and think it’s gonna work so you have them all this money. Right now I feel like I’ve been scammed because it’s tough luck if it doesn’t work for you. it makes me think more fondly of programs where you pay per month like apps and Weight Watchers. I thought this was going to be better, but because they do the funding that way it’s basically going to rip off anyone who doesn’t work for because you put all that money into it. And more importantly than even the money, is that at this point I feel like I ruined my digestion. That was perfectly fine before I did the program and now I have constant pain. I am going to the G.I. doctor soon to find out if I damaged my guts. So, I highly do not recommend this program. I will never pay this amount of money without guarantees upfront again, I will never trust a one size fits all program, either, and thirdly I will not fall into the delusion of skipping food groups and having very low calories and thinking that’s going to be healthy. That might be a good approach for a quick weight loss, but for a very short amount of time only to do that. Otherwise it’s going to have consequences on the health . This is not a sustainable approach, and also if a person has food addiction issues it’s going to make that worse from the deprivation and nutrient imbalances. When I told the coach that I have food addiction issues, she said I need to go to therapy. Therapy doesn’t hurt but a food program needs to take this into consideration because a great many people who are overweight, have food relation issues if you’re not perfect on the program That should be just a part of it or any program because much of the overweight population has those issues so you shouldn’t be made wrong for that if you can’t be 100% perfect on the diet for three months which is an extremely restrictive diet. I know this works for Sum but it’s basically your risk in your money and your health to find out if you’re one of those people that can really do well on this diet. Bebalanced does not mean that this diet is balanced. Their goal is to balance hormones, but this is not a balanced diet ... View more

It sounds like you've made some positive changes in your life with your Fitbit and increased activity level. Winter can be challenging, especially when it comes to maintaining healthy habits. One thing that might help is finding activities you enjoy indoors, like Winter Memories Game, to keep you moving even when the weather outside is frightful. Additionally, consider meal prepping or finding healthier alternatives to your favorite comfort foods to help curb any winter cravings. Surrounding yourself with supportive and like-minded individuals can also make a big difference in staying motivated. Remember, progress is progress, no matter how small, and you're not alone in your journey towards better health. ... View more

I have ibs-M. It's been a lot of trial and error for me to get to M. It used to be D+. I did all the tests except for SIBO. Low fodmap diet, finding the right probiotic was key. I use HERS brand.

@Meadecuba24 You need to figure out WHY you are loosing weight... It could be doing little. It could be not eating enough. It could be burning way more than you think (that was my problem in the past). The Fitbit data will give you the hints on this. Also... It could also be health problems/illness. Not to scare you but that is a possibility too use the fitbit to monitor your food intake and calories burnt. Don't rely on snacks / sugars to get those numbers up. Have 'real' meals. That makes sure you're not in a calorie deficit. Preferably eating too much according to the Fitbit. Next make sure you're getting enough protein. 1g to 2g per kg of bodyweight. That solves the weight loss. To gain back what was previously lost, you need to exercise. Could just be walking, or go full on at the gym. If you want to share some of your health data, we could give less generalized advice.... ... View more
