I’m trying to lose weight and was told that hwo I eat about 800-1000 calories a day is too low and lowers my metobolism which will prevent weight loss. I’ve looked up some meal plans and can’t really afford stuff like chicken breast, steak, or salmon every week. So that is why I’m wondering how I can eat 1500 calories a day. Are there some alternatives that I can do?

Also I’d like to ask, say I exercise and burn say 500 calories would I have to eat those calories back or no? I ask cuz I’ve been told yes and told no.

    My brother.

    Do not eat before 11am and do not eat after 7pm.

    Drink water.

    Weigh yourself daily, in the morning, right after you piss and shit, and then look at yourself in the mirror.

    Eat as you please during your open window, don’t lie to yourself about what you are eating. Trash is trash.

    Let this truth wash over you as you buy your food. The shame will drive you to make better purchases.

    To be successful, you must hate yourself as you are and love yourself as you want to be.

    Good luck.
