Re: train to gain weight

When I focused on gaining weight, strength training was key. I lifted heavier weights with fewer reps to build muscle. Compound exercises like squats, deadlifts, and bench presses helped a lot. I also ate calorie-dense, nutritious foods—lots of protein, healthy fats, and carbs like oats, nuts, and a...

Re: Weight Watchers

I’ve heard good things about Weight Watchers (WW). It’s a structured program that focuses on portion control and healthier food choices. I like that it doesn’t cut out any foods but instead uses a point system to guide you toward better options. The community aspect is also motivating, as you get su...

Re: Is intermittent fasting an effective weight loss strategy?

Intermittent fasting can be effective for weight loss, but it depends on how it's done. When I tried it, I found it helped me control portion sizes and reduce snacking. However, it’s important to eat balanced meals during the eating window. It’s not a magic solution, though—it still requires healthy...

Re: Losing weight and putting it back on and more

I’ve experienced losing weight and then gaining it back, often with a few extra pounds. This yo-yo effect happens when I focus on quick fixes like crash diets. Once the diet ends, old habits return, and the weight comes back. Now, I focus on long-term lifestyle changes, like balanced eating and regu...

Re: Losing weight fast is bad for you.

Losing weight too fast can be harmful because it often means losing muscle, not fat. When I tried extreme dieting, I felt tired and weak, and the weight came back quickly. Rapid weight loss can also mess with your metabolism and cause nutrient deficiencies. Slow, steady progress through healthy eati...

Re: Yoga For Weight Loss

Yoga can be great for weight loss because it combines physical movement with mindfulness. I like doing power yoga or vinyasa flows, which involve faster-paced poses, making it feel like a workout. Poses like plank, chair pose, and warrior really engage muscles. Plus, yoga reduces stress, which can h...

Re: What Not to Do While Losing Your Weight?

While losing weight, I avoid skipping meals, as it slows down my metabolism. I don’t follow extreme diets either, because they can lead to cravings and binge eating later. I also avoid obsessing over the scale every day, since weight can fluctuate naturally. Instead, I focus on consistent healthy ha...
