Re: Are you fat?

[vethica]

Definitely fat. 5'5", 212 pounds. I've recently been watching my calorie intake, though, so hopefully that will go somewhere. I'd like to lose at least a little weight.

Hope you don't mind giving you some unsolicited advice, if not don't read, I guess.

Calorie counting and diet restriction is probably the worse way to go about it and prone to relapses. Keeping a food journal for a week or two might help you get an idea of what your diet's like and where your problems.
Try slowly cleaning up your diet instead, by reducing sugar intake, eating your fruits and veggies, not drinking your calories (ie only water or tea), and upping fiber. If you think about as a lifestyle change rather than a diet, you'll probably have better luck. Good luck regardless and hope it goes well!

Re: Are you fat?

Is a food journal different from counting calories? I've been tracking what I eat for a couple months.

Re: Are you fat?

Somewhat, counting calories focuses more on the calorie count than the actual food quality, so people are more likely to deprive themselves of food because "oh no can't go over my calories count" when you're still in actuality hungry. A food journal should focus more if the food is good for you and how you feel before and after eating, so you can identify if there's any emotional states that make you prone to overeating or if certain foods make you feel like crap.

You probably should keep an eye on portions for a little bit as well, but if you're overweight they're a chance your diet makes you prone to overeating or you may have emotional issues with food. Realistically, calories in calories out isn't sustainable in the long run and adds a lot of stress, when the focus should be eating well.

Okay. I don't know what I'm doing, so thank you for the help.

NTAYRT, but

"Realistically, calories in calories out isn't sustainable in the long run and adds a lot of stress, when the focus should be eating well."

I completely disagree with the anon; it is sustainable in the long run, but you have to think of it as a "lifestyle change", rather than a "I'm going to do this for xxx amount of days, then go back to normal" thing. Plus, "eating well" is hard to keep track of; is eating carrots and hummus as a snack "eating well"? Well, yes, compared to eating, say, oreos, but you can still eat a lot of calories with hummus if you're not keeping track.
