The 2016 Way Less Objectivity thread

I'm 1.86m.

Carbs are lower than 20g per day. Most of them from veggies at night which is always after a weight session. Fat is high but not excessive. Protein moderate. I'm also restricting dairy products at the moment to see if that might help.

I'm currently hitting a deficit of between 400-600 a day which is comfortable for me. Might up that to 800 max if I don't see results in the next two weeks or so.

Remember that fat is one of your body's defence mechanisms. It's very reluctant to get rid of the last of its reserves...
Just keep on doing what you're doing and eventually it will let go.

Hi All
Is anyone familiar with using the below or the like?

http://sport.takealot.com/sport-garmin-forerunner-fr70-hrm-with-footpod-blue/PLID32833143

Would it be considered a good tool/motivator for an oke just trying to get the boep down?

I personally think a tool is a bad idea if you struggle with motivation.

In other words, it won't help. Tools are external things to make your life easier - they can't and won't motivate you to work harder or stay away from the chocolate.

I see
I've been fairly strict with my eating (weekends off) and exercising regularly (weights and cardio 3-4 times a week) - I've lost 7kg's since starting at the beginning of the year.
Not sure how much of this is actual fat. Clothes are fitting better though..
 
Use 49days if you want motivation.

Use the x-effect if you want motivation.

Or simply compile an excel spreadsheet.

That is a lot of weight to lose in a short space of time!

Just keep at it.

Keeping your motivation levels up requires that you are able to properly convince yourself that this is what you want for the long term. When I say long term, I mean the rest of your life.

Sure, maybe when you get older, you can dial back the exercise a bit. But, going back to how you ate before will just see you pile the weight back on.

I've got about 10kg's left to drop before I am where I wanna be. Starting to see some muscles pop as well - as a result of doing weights and cardio I suppose.

Keeping the motivation up is definitely the hardest part.
Maintaining a calorie deficit is also quite hard but I've gotten my hands on some lekker low calorie recipes because I refuse to eat chicken and veg/salad everyday.
Weekends are eat whatever but I still find myself being more conscious about what I'm eating on weekends.

This tool however will make each training session more effective if you use it correctly which means you get more with less training.
