--READ-- Reading all the comments on this thread is pretty funny. I was a trainer for many years and the strategy (note that it’s a strategy rather than a diet) that was most successful takes years to complete with the goal of never doing too much at once. Take the worst thing in your diet. Over the next few weeks, replace it with something slightly better. When your body starts accepting it, move on to the next wors…

how to replace sugar in coffee? I can not live without it.
Or find a less bitter coffee. There are a lot more varieties of coffee that aren't mainstream that don't have the bitterness of mass produced stuff. I detest coffee/food snobbery but have found some lighter roasts that aren't as bitter.
Or try different brewing methods.

Intermittent fasting is, for the most part, just skipping breakfast. I do that in combination with a mostly low carb/high fat thing, but I'm not too strict with anything. I also don't track my calorie intake. More importantly, I believe that cutting sugar is the key to weight loss and maintenance. I mostly drink water, black tea, and black coffee. You should make sustainable changes that fit your lifestyle, not follo…
Skipping breakfast is wrong, in any context. The result of not eating anything for breakfast is that the body reduces consumption ("metabolism"); this is exactly what one wants to avoid in diets. This can be tested very simply. Compare the time of the morning when you start feeling hunger between when you have a breakfast (even a relatively light one, which is what one would do in a weight-loss diet), and when you do…
Conclusion of a recent Vox video[1]:
> That means if you’re a breakfast eater, (…) you can carry on. And if you’re a breakfast skipper, (…) don’t worry. The best science we have suggests we’re probably just fine either way.

how to replace sugar in coffee? I can not live without it.
For a latte, ask for it to be made "brevee" (brev-aye) which indicates half and half usage.
For coffee, I will do 50/50 half and half with coffee.
It is quite delicious.

Very great advice. A little nitpick - lifting small dumbbells is probably useless. The main benefits from weightlifting come through Progressive Overload, where those small weights must necessarily\* turn into big weights. If (s)he must stick to small weights, there is a very small window of benefit to weight lifting. \* - note that in Progressive Overload you can also increase total number of reps (the true metic is…
This is not true at all. You CAN achieve hypertrophy and strength with small weights and resistance bands. Just ask a glute girl.
With weights, one can put forth a decent workout in an hour.
"The best diet is the one you follow". This is preached by many people in the Fitness industry, body builders and profrssionals. I was a chubby teen, although I did a lot of sports. But I ate even more. Now I lost a lot of weight in last few months and I'm the leanest and strongest I've ever been. How? The thing is, there is no diet required. A diet is nutrition for sick people. What most people need is a more health…
One of the people I follow in the fitness industry though has started that they did wish they had focused a bit more on micronutrition.
I like the Scott Adams approach to just pre-preparing carrots and celery in small containers in your fridge. Design the system so that when you go to snack, the healthy things are what is available. For coffee, I only add cinnamon to black coffee. No sugar. If you like ice cream, try making it yourself, once you see how much sugar goes in a pint, you kind of get sick to your stomach about eating it.

> Skipping breakfast is wrong, in any context. Different things work for different people, so saying something is always wrong is itself wrong. > The result of not eating anything for breakfast is that the body reduces consumption ("metabolism"); Any evidence for this? > Most people will paradoxically feel hunger earlier when they have a breakfast compared to when they don't. So if they don't have breakfast they'd fe…
Skipping breakfast has the nice effect of making dinner available for social outings, while still having a fasting window.
