Week 5 Progress Pics 1 week to go – body weight has still remained the same My morning body weight was an average of 77kg this week, up 1 lb from last week.  My evening body weight this week was an average of 73.3kg, exactly the same as last week.  But again, despite the weight staying constant, I am definitely leaner since last week.  Especially in the legs.  This again leads me to conclude that I have gained muscle mass while simultaneously losing body fat over the course of the week. My legs are coming in now, but I need them leaner! I will be continuing to push the envelope this week in bringing my legs in leaner.  There is a huge improvem

Too many people waste their potential in life… a deep topic here! Clearly this dieting is taking it’s toll right now haha! It’s true though.  It absolutely kills me how many people I see waste their potential. This isn’t limited to fitness! People’s fear of failure paralyses them in all areas of their life!  They are scared to even try something in case they don’t succeed. Successful people are often idealised for their achievements.  But what you don’t hear about is how many times they had to keep trying and failing in order to succeed! There are no larger restraints on our potential than those we place on ourselves!  Be amazing.  Be awesome!  Get in the game. Have a go at least.  And if you get knocked down, learn from it, and get right back up aga

It’s getting hard now! Week 4 Progress Pics 2 weeks to go – weight has stayed roughly the same My morning body weight was an average of 76.9kg this week.  Last week’s average was 77.3kg, so roughly the same.  My evening body weight this week was an average of 73.3kg.  Last week the average was 73.5kg, so again roughly the same.  I still seem to be tightening up and continuing to get leaner though!  It still amazes me how much water I hold and by how much my bodyweight changes from morning to evening. My legs are still holding fat My legs are definitely the weak link right now.  My legs have always been the last place I lose fat from.  Right now they are still way smoother than upper body.  So I am really pushing it now over these remaining 2 w

https://howistayfit.com/diet/how-many-calories-do-i-need-to-lose-weight/ How many calories do I need to lose weight? When it comes to figuring out how many calories your body needs each day, it is not actually that difficult.  But it is often made into an overcomplicated process! Whether you want to know how many calories you need to be eating to lose weight, to gain weight, or to just maintain your current weight, it is actually quite simple. Too much maths This is NOT my preferred method for figuring out calorie requirements, but a common way is to use one of the various “formulas” out there.  People can be put off by this, often fearing anything that involves calculations and numbers!  To be honest, using a formula is not actually that hard to do if you take a minute to look into what it entails.  However, these formulas can’t be totally accurate.  Let me explain. The calorie formulas are not magic Some people have this perception that the formulas for calculati

This is a topic I am fairly well experienced in, due to my own digestive issues.  My family has a history of having a “sensitive stomach”. It clearly must be hereditary.  Having an upset stomach is not fun.  Especially when eating for a “purpose”, e.g. eating to gain muscle, or dieting down to lose fat.  So, combating and preventing digestive issues is something I have had to do for a long time now. Everyone acknowledges the importance of diet and exercise whether the goal is to gain muscle, lose fat, or a bit of both.  And rightly so! With the topic of “diet” in particular, there are so many different views and strategies.  Whether you go for low carb or high carb.  Low fat, high fat.  More protein or less protein.  Frequently grazing throughout the day, or Intermittent Fasting.  ALL OF THESE DIETS WORK. There are people out the
