A lot of people are not mindful of their eating. And this leads to both surpluses and deficits in their caloric needs. A great way to begin improving your diet and fitness is to start counting your calories. In the beginning, it's more important just to log your calories than it is to try and change anything. The discipline of logging everyday combined with the understanding of your overall eating habits will help you make informed decisions about whether you should eat more, less, or change to healthier foods. Download a free calorie counting app like MyFitnessPal, or something similar. Start documenting your daily food intake for one week, and after that look back and see if you notice any patterns.

REMEMBER! Calories aren't bad! They are energy. Just be mindful of where you choose to get that energy from. A banana might have more calories then a cookie, but that banana has a whole lot more nutrients your body needs. But that doesn't mean you can't have a cookie every now and then! Practice self control by only eating one and then hiding the rest for another day. Practice! You'll get it!

For most people it's not worth getting specific with anything beyond calorie count and macronutrients. Considering your carbs, protein, and fat, and the amount of total calories. Deficit for weight loss, surplus for gaining. Add some fiber to help smooth things along. What most people get wrong is consuming almost entirely carbs and not enough protein.

@@Interrobang212we actually consume way more protein than what we really need, and too much meat in general, especially red one and highly processed types like ham, which we now know having a carcinogenic effect. After that, we should all keep on mind that most of our proteins should come from those foods usually known as "carb providers", such as pasta, bread, and cereals in general.

One thing I never knew until I downloaded one of these was how little I was eating. After I did I began eating more and it allowed me to gain a lot more muscle since I was actually eating enough. 100% even if you don’t work out or do any kind of martial art it’s worth just seeing.

This is a huge reason why people need to count calories. It's not just about losing weight. It's about making sure you're getting the right amount of nutrients, too many people under eat because they're either just not hungry, or they get too busy. Being diligent about tracking your calories allows you to make sure you're hitting your caloric intake goals

Let's go everyone! We can do this! Since finding your channel I've used HEMA as both the goal (aspirations for joining a club) and means (consistent solo drills at home) for getting in shape. Lost 20lbs and put on some muscle to boot so far. Other exercise and diet have been extremely important of course, but this has kept things fun and kept me motivated. I'm extremely glad you've been putting so much emphasis on this particular topic lately. Keep it up.

The biggest reason the fads don't work is because they're just fads. They're meant to give you "quick" results in for short term happiness, just like a fad. From what I've experienced and heard from others is that you need lifestyle changes that can be small changes which grow overtime for more permanent happiness in that area. You also don't need to just take away too, like things you love. Adding in more fruits or veggies to things you love can help without having to necessarily give up delicious food.

Unironically, what helped me start on losing weight was a structure to build my meals around. The dietician wasn't even all that good (she was actually quite shit, bih bought into the soyboy bullshit) but giving me a rough idea what to include in my meals helped all my knowledge of food coalesce and I'm now more than halfway to returning to my normal weight after a back injury forced me to sit out any training for half a year and then imma keep it up to a weight I love

@SellswordArts
11 ай бұрын
From what I've seen of it it looks like a good way to really mess up your rotator cuffs and other parts of your body. There are fantastic weighted workouts with clubs, but you should seek out a professional who's actually trained and had to do them. I think that the giant anime sword thing I keep seeing is mostly trial and error, and not an organized system from somebody who has professional know-how Check out Mark Wildman. He's here on KZitem, and he's incredibly knowledgeable about club weights. Many swordsmanship practitioners use his workouts and others like them to improve their game

Being mindful doesn't mean only eating less. It could mean eating more. Many people under-eat, because they're not tracking their calories. Start tracking your calories, and you'll see that you're not eating enough, and you can start to address it. This information isn't just for people trying to lose weight, it's for everybody trying to get to their ideal body

A lot of the times what happens is you find out you're not eating enough. That's what writing down your calories for a week will do. He gives you a good idea of where you are. There are a lot of people who eat at a deficit and they're not meaning to. This can actually cause some people to maintain weight when they're trying to lose it

Yes and no. Can your calories is an important part of dealing with eating disorder. It keeps you accountable. And that means for eating enough and eating too much. Of course, if you can't handle thinking about calories, then do not do this. But if you want to be more helpful, this is a good way to make sure you're getting enough food each day. Many people under eat, and counting or calories meats you very aware of how much food you getting. It'll force you to eat more if you're trying to hit a certain goal
