I Exercise, Not Lose Weight

   Hello! I hasten to congratulate you on the decision to eat and live a healthy life in general. This is an important investment that will pay off more and more visibly and tangibly over time! Admiration and congratulations for all the effort and attention you have directed to the desired goal! :) Now to the question ... Really interesting case. As you state the facts, three suggestions come to my mind. One has to do with the number of calories you eat per day, ie it is possible (even if they come from completely healthy foods and ingredients) that the calories you eat are not much less than the ones you burn, and this is precisely the reason why there is not much difference on the scales. If you have generally chosen not to monitor your calorie intake closely, try to weigh yourself for at least 4-5 days in a row and count the things you eat for the day (drinks and food), and then compare the number with the one indicating your total energy consumption. There are calculators on the Internet that, once you enter your height, weight, age, gender and physical activity, will direct you to how many calories you burn per day. If it turns out (for example) that you burn about 2500 calories a day, but you take 2450 of food, this gives an answer to your question why things are slow. Another possible possibility is that you retain a lot of water. If you try the above suggestion and it turns out that you consume significantly fewer calories than you burn (for example, you consume 1500 a day and burn 3000), and yet the result is not what it should be otherwise, read some articles about water retention, and try the advice given by medical professionals to deal with the problem. However, if you do not retain water, but in the ratio "intake: consumption" you regularly consume a lot more calories than you take in, in my opinion it would be good not to wait long and to visit a conscientious and experienced endocrinologist who will give you the relevant tests. With hypothyroidism, for example (affects one in three women in the world), without the appropriate therapy it is extremely difficult and painful to lose weight. (Thyroid hypofunction is a condition in which the butterfly-shaped gland does not work optimally, which causes a tsunami of unpleasant symptoms, including hair loss, lack of energy, constant fatigue, constipation, dry skin, weight retention, retention of water, high cholesterol, menstrual and fertility problems, joint and muscle pain, depression and memory problems.) Of course, this is just one possible explanation, a shot in the dark regarding your particular condition. That's why it's a good idea to get tested by a specialist to be fully aware of what exactly is happening to your body, how it works and whether the problem with weight does not come from a completely different place. If, God forbid, you are completely healthy, all systems work well, and you have the opportunity, contact a nutritionist who compiles training and fitness regimens (we have excellent professionals who work entirely online). Follow a regimen that will be completely adapted to your body, features and tastes, and things will certainly work. :) I wish you health and success!

   Hello! If you have not calculated the calories suitable for you, nothing will happen. Whatever they say, calorie intake is very important. You can also fill and retain healthy foods. You knew that, didn't you? A friend said, "But I only eat protein bars, they're healthy," and he fool doesn't see that one bar is 1,000 calories, he doesn't even play sports. Take our 3-4 such bars, among other supposedly diet foods and then but I do not lose weight! Emmy, learn something was a man or listen to me as a professional fitness instructor. Are you having breakfast? Without breakfast, there are no results and you risk overeating for the rest of the day. Do so. Have breakfast, but after training and do not eat anything after 18-19 hours. And continue with exercise and fitness. Persistence is important.

   What you do in the gym and what food you eat have little to do with losing weight, if you want to lose weight you eat less than your body expends. You can't build as much muscle in a month, but it's possible that your muscles will retain water.

   Have a specialist prepare your diet. From what you say, I would exclude butter, oatmeal and fresh milk. Instead, you need nuts and seeds. It seems so to me without knowing you, so I say, turn in person to a nutrition consultant. It also depends on how much you eat, maybe you get more fat than necessary or there are potatoes, spaghetti and pasta in cooking. Combinations are also important, meat with carbohydrates, for example, is taboo and the like. Fitness can also be different - for shaping, for weight loss, for exercise only, do you have an instructor with whom you work together for your specific purpose? Otherwise, one kg is not so bad, but with the right diet and exercise you can lose 500-1000 g per week in the beginning.

   You need to be calorie deficient, that is, eat fewer calories than your body burns alone. There are many formulas for calculating calories, both for download, maintenance and upload. The other important thing is that you do not need to exclude pastries and anything else, but to include them in such a way in your menu that you are both happy and satisfied without limiting yourself, and to lose weight while keeping the deficit. . YOU FILL UP WITH EVERY FOOD IF YOU GO OVER YOUR CALORIES. You say you eat fish, which is great, but the calories in mackerel are almost 300 per 100 grams, and 100 grams is nothing, a fillet is about 220-270, which makes almost 900 calories. It is the same with nuts and olive oil, where the calories are about 600 and 900 respectively per 100 grams. Good luck and continue your fitness, don't forget that in addition to endless cardio, there are strength exercises,

   Fitness is not a sport for weight loss but for styling. Include more cardio. This is the solution ...

   You've changed the way you eat, but calories, even from good sources, are calories. Calculate them more strictly. Are you sure you're doing the right thing? Do you have a coach? It is really strange only one kilogram, there should have been at least 2-3, at least of the retained fluids. Have you reduced your salt, do you drink enough water?

   You may have started to build muscle mass, so you can visually look thinner and lose the same weight. Muscle tissue weighs much more than fat. I don't think that's a bad thing. A month is not that much time, either.

   The colleague from number 1 has basically told you all the possible scenarios in your case. IF you do not have a disease that prevents you from losing weight, or makes it much harder and / or slow (hashimoto, for example), then seriously emphasize your diet, because in the gym you can tighten up, but you CANNOT you lose weight because you burn a lot less calories than you probably think (as far as I've read various studies, with a very heavy and squeezing workout you can burn about 300 calories, and imagine if your workouts are more leisurely) what is the situation). Pay attention to the quantities, because fat and butter are at least 750 calories per 100 grams, your olive oil is nearly 900 calories per 100 milliliters. That is, if we assume that you eat 2 pork chops a day, which you prepared with 30 grams of butter / fat (which is not necessary at all, because pork itself is fat enough to be extra fat), that's the only reason you have a thousand calories in your best case. A salad is generally not more than 200-250 calories (we are talking about a female portion), but flavored with 25 milliliters of olive oil goes to over 500 calories, so only so far you are at least 1500 calories, and I did not even consider breakfast , which you eat, nor the liquid calories that you undoubtedly take in (you say yourself that you drink coffee with milk, and you probably take in other liquid calories, whether in the form of juice, fresh, alcohol, etc.). Try to eat exactly the same thing every day for 1 week, measuring it on an electronic scale and weigh yourself every day. Average your weight for the week and see if you have gained or lost weight last year to know if you are calorie deficient. If you haven't lost weight, then you are simply not in deficit and you should either reduce your diet or increase your cardio without eating more, or both. By the way, this way you will be seriously surprised, and maybe even shocked by how inaccurate is the eye of a person who has no experience with pulling food. You may think that you put very little butter, but in fact it is 30 grams. The same goes for olive oil, oatmeal (their calories vary between 350 and 400 per 100 grams), milk (if it has a higher percentage of fat, a bucket can go to 250 or more calories), and in general for what else you remember food from the one you are currently eating. It's commendable that you've eliminated junk, but watch the chat-pat to indulge in some pampering, because otherwise you risk at some point to burn very seriously and overeat brutally (maybe within a few consecutive days) only with foods that you have been deprived of. At some point, most people, if they systematically deprive themselves of something, they just can't stand it and brutally overeat with the food they've been so strictly wary of, and everything goes to waste. Nothing will happen to you from one block consisting of 4 pieces of chocolate, but if you eat all the chocolate is another topic. Pay more and more serious attention to your diet, and by no means think that just going to the gym will lead to your weight loss, because you will be very disappointed. ;) from which they have so strictly guarded themselves, and everything goes to the wind.

   First, thank you very much to everyone for the quick answers !! :)) Let me answer some of your questions .. For a start I train with an instructor who is by my side and shows me how, what and when .. Also every morning I have breakfast, lunch, light snack and dinner, trying to have only salad for dinner. I do not include rice, potatoes and any pasta in my menu. Tonight, for example, I ate a salad of beets and carrots, and for dinner a boat of roasted zucchini with mushrooms, cheese and tomatoes, which are not colossal amounts. But it's hard for me to diversify the menu ... Now I drive mainly on eggs, tomato salads, cucumbers, radishes, lettuce, oatmeal before a workout (I avoid them the rest of the time) and sometimes chicken or fish ... I'll calculate the calories, which I should take and I will start to monitor which food contains how much ..

   Exercise does not make you lose weight, you just tighten and shape - the only way to lose weight is by reducing your calorie intake. If you have really started eating the right foods and there is no change, it means that you need to reduce the amounts even more. Healthy foods also fill up not so much as harmful ones - you have to run out of calories to start burning fat with sports, otherwise as a result of training you just build muscle under the fat.

   You need to say in more detail how you eat, how you train and how you recover. If your food is not well balanced, you will not lose much. There is a definite ratio between protein and carbohydrate, which is different for everyone and must be tested. Do not think that if you almost do not eat carbohydrates, but focus on protein, you will lose weight - on the contrary, overeating with protein is also not good. Exercise - You may not do enough cardio. It is obligatory to start with strength training (after the warm-up, of course) and at the end do the cardio, not the other way around. And they are done in one workout. Recovery is also important. If you train too many days or too hard, a common mistake for beginners, the effect is also lost. You need to rest and sleep well between workouts. Don't think that training every day or too intensely will have a better effect. On the contrary. In principle, you may have really lost weight, but you are the same weight. You can just easily gain muscle mass and it has replaced fat, you can retain water and more. My advice is not to look at weight and measures, but to take pictures once a week or two and compare the pictures. It doesn't matter how many kilograms and centimeters you are, but how you look. Because if you replace fat with muscle, you may not lose a lot of weight, but you will look radically different. In my opinion, pay a specialist at least in the beginning to prepare a nutrition and training plan for you and, most importantly, to monitor how it affects you and to adjust it over time according to your needs. You can just easily gain muscle mass and it has replaced fat, you can retain water and more.
