It’s not all abt that though, my mom is actually against gym memberships cuz she’s like we get them and no one goes. She thinks a walk and magical ginger shots will cure everything, I’ve done that my entire life and it hasn’t worked but okay.

She also thinks going to the gym is not good for women cuz the only thing we’d use are treadmills cuz according to her, “women shouldn’t have muscles” and “muscles can be built really fast” like okay Dr Facebook.

She wants that, so does every other south Asian mother. That is the literal goal, to be thin as a stick and look like u barely eat, might I say starve yourself, so that ur the perfect candidate for marriage

So I’m in a bit of a complicated situation, my mother is so controlling she won’t let me go anywhere and I mean anywhere alone, so I can’t go to a gyno. But last year I was in another state and had to get a physical for work and the doc was like u very likely have pcos or endo. So um yeah.

Many trainers say being fit is 30% working out and 70% diet

Even when I do eat right, my body just stays how it is, like how it has been doing. And I try to keep consistency, I’ve tried all the ways, fasting, eating lots of protein, or just different diets. Nothing work

You can’t miss a beat. As soon as you skip a meal it take even a few days to get your metabolism back to normal. Not sure if you do that or not but it’s better to over eat than under eat

It’s not dieting. It’s creating a diet where you have a calorie deficit in accordance with your metabolism. Missing a beat is fine but that’s just how the human body works. We are literally designed to keep all of our fat. You have to go the extra mile. On top of that anerobic activity is the only activity that will initially burn fat upon a workout. Walking still burns fat but your body will switch between using carbohydrates and body fat. More carbohydrates than fat tho. Doing a sprint

Workout will definitely work. 30-45 seconds hard run 2-3 min walk. Repeat 10 times. You’ll lose weight in a week

But what I am talking about are objective principles. While I agree our bodies our different. That is what you need to do to lose weight. Because we don’t have such a fast metabolism where we can eat what ever we want. If you follow a little bit of that (eating more protein, consistent meals, and anaerobic activity a few times a week) I guarantee you will see improvement

Also fasting does work. I agree. However, fasting needs to be done smart. If you fast all day then have McDonald’s at the end of it, you won’t lose weight

High sodium, high carbohydrate, and high trans fat meals while your body thinks you are starving will only make your blood sugar spike and make you feel worse while not losing weight

I’m not saying you HAVE to do that. But if you’re struggling to lose weight under normal means. Then you should take the advice I have given
