Myfitnesspal is great, even if you just do it for a few weeks, it gives you such an awareness of calories and nutrition. Admittedly logging in every day can get a bit tedious but it's good to get in the habit of knowing exactly what you're eating.

Keep things simple. Depending on your goals, lift heavy, eat sensible (high protien/lower carb), don't skimp on the fruits and veggies.

Also rest is important. If eating clean is a problem, try to find healthy alternatives/snacks. If your search up on YT you can find plenty of protien brownie/cookie recipes are that actually taste good.

Hope that helps, GL with the training and diet. Mind over matter, you got this.

Losing stomach gut is the hardest thing to do. I would focus on eating healthy but don't change too much of your social lifestyle like going out and eat out once in a while with friends or family.

I did two years of strict diet and I hated myself because I did not get to "enjoy" socializing like going out, weddings, bday's etc where eating "white" food and alcohol is endorsed.

Focus on burning energy by stimulating the bigger muscle groups like air squats, push ups, pull ups, running for 15-30 mins.

Then probably progress to heavy weight lifting after 6 months to a year.

Going hard at it early on will probably leave you frustrated and injured, sadly.

I'm not a hater. I actually love it.

And Ive been working out my entire life. Sad to say, no more xfit. Ever.

I am 73 years old and only weigh 20# more now then when I was discharged from the Navy in 66. I played sports, watched my diet, and took up cycling in 71. I cycle a lot, perform core training and light weight resistance work. I won all 3 gold medals in our state in 2014 while competing in Senior Olympics. Moderation is the key and little or no snacking after dinner. I cheat once in a while but I don't make a habit of it. I weigh in everyday so I can stay on track. I use Herbalife for exercise and diet control.

moderation is key. cut some out of every meal, up your cardio... get a balance of fats/carbs/proteins, but do so in a way that's structured around when you wake up/workout/sleep...for example, i'd want to up fats in the morning, no fats before workout...no need for a ton of carbs before bed...get some protein in in every meal

just don't be a dumbass. it's that simple...should you eat mcdonalds if you're trying to lose weight? no, that's a dumbass move...should you have those leftover fries? no, that's a dumbass move...should you go out and drink till you black out? no, that's a dumbass move...should you skip cardio today? no, that's a dumbass move...

it's not complicated, just don't be a dumbass and you'll lose weight

use myfitnesspal or some other app to track progress, so you can ensure you're eating less than you're burning...which will obviously lead to weight loss...aim for 500cals less than maintenance rate...

Eat lean protein, egg whites, fish, chicken.
Eat veggies that are grean as much as you want.
No caffeine or alcohol.
No food within 3 hours of bedtime.

My typical diet was egg whites with tomatoes and maybe a sprinkle of cheese for breakfast. Vegetable soup for lunch or an atkins frozen meal. Dinner chicken and broccoli. Drink only water. My only cheat was coffee at breakfast. Snack was a half sour pickle between meals. I needed it lol. I
lost 1 pound a day, 65 lbs in 2 months. Then kept it off 15 yrs now. 90% of weight is intake. 10% activity level. You need to maintain the new weight for a few years to retrain your body that this is the correct weight you should be.
This is absolute nonsense.

No need to cut carbs, as it is a subjective measure. Maintain a relative deficit in your diet that allows for macronutrient balance and you will be fine. It's interesting to me the extent to which people will substitute method for all-around consistency.

Since I was a borderline diabetic 5 years ago I changed my diet to avoid sugar and carbs to a point. I eat or drink carbs before a long or intense bike ride but I try not to get them from bread, pasta, etc. I live at the beach and will not give up alcohol or an occasional burger. If i have a bad diet day I will ramp up the exercise and cut back on the calories. Life is too short to give up some of the good things I like in life.

Start by eating only organic & non-gmo. My family members switched and lost weight as a result.

Diet is 80% of losing weight. 30% is aerobic exercise. That's right, you need to put in 110% effort

Know your own limits and common sense... crossfit can kill people if you are not careful.
That's not really the risk of HIIT's, more so the individual not listening to their body and continuing to push when you shouldn't.

People's proclivity to want to take short cuts instead of actually changing their behaviors long term.

It might be a difficult pill to swallow (pun), but I cannot count how many times I've told people to gtf off of the scale every 2 days (you are NOT a physique competitor) and judge progress based off of how you feel and athletic milestones, if you value them. What a bunch of BS the industry has become.

Try to fix your diet and do some HIIT like Crossfit or OrangeTheory. Both are very different but will give you similar results. If you're just looking to replace fat with muscle and aren't really looking to get "swole" then maybe OrangeTheory would work better.

Either way not all Crossfit gyms are alike so do some research if you decide to go that route, OrangeTheory gyms are all the exact same country wide since they're franchises so it's a one size fits all sorta thing.

At least in this area, the OrangeTheory gyms don't have the "bro" culture and attitude that Crossfit gyms around here have but like I said, Crossfit gyms can vary greatly from place to place.

I apologize if I'm making this sound confusing. Thanks.
