Feeling pretty depressed/confused about my weight and am looking for some advice

You aren’t eating enough. It’s counterintuitive but eating more will help

Try using this calculator

My guess is you're consuming more than you think.

Don’t eat after 9 pm and religiously count calories.

Even if true, 1500 calories is ridiculously low for his height and weight
deliciousmocha
2/15/20 11:35am
Not necessarily. If he's getting electrolytes sodium / potassium his body will turn fat to fuel.

Low caloric intake can put your body into starvation mode
deliciousmocha

I don't think he needs to maximize his metabolism. He'll have a greater net deficit even in starvation mode.

Try intermittent fasting. Read “The Obesity Code” by Jason Fung.

Don’t do this.

Why not? Intermittent fasting has worked well for a number of people.
DKN

Daily intermittent fasting is working for me. 12-16 hours every day.
JmThms
2/15/20 11:43am
Eating less calories works for everyone. No need to force it in any random
BYU_Hoops
2/15/20 11:45am
If it works as a habit and makes it easy to regulate how much you consume it is a great idea.
CDV
2/15/20 11:49am
Agreed.

Yes, no magic to IF, it's just another form of calorie restriction, if it works
kolob32

False. There's a lot more to intermittent fasting than just caloric reduction.

You really should read “The Obesity Code” and the studies done on IF.

Dr. Fung backs up his claims with evidence based medicine from reputable medical journals.

Studies have shown WHEN you eat is important too.

Take those same calories, spread it out between six meals, 12, 24

That’s not how it worked for me.

Negative. According to studies I have read that's not quite true.

You’ve not “read” studies. Lol.

Well good luck with your "answer". Lol.
JmThms

There’s plenty of research/evidence supporting IF.
deliciousmocha
2/15/20 11:56am
Your argument against IF is basically "it works as well as any other form of calorie restriction".

Sorry, should say don’t do it if you believe it in and of itself

I’ve seen great results from intermittent fasting

If you’re losing weight then you’re eating less calories.

First things first, progress is progress no matter how little so be happy for that. You could have gained weight too.

Great advice. Also, consider weekly averages for weight loss comparison

Agree, but even with calorie basics, 2lbs is 7000 weekly deficit. Id say 1-2lbs a week is more attainable

Gurus say shoot for 1% reduction in weight a week, like you say it's attainable

The important thing is that you can’t do both diet and exercise.

Take 3 days off from exercise and just focus on diet. Exercising actually increases your appetite and adds water weight

You may be gaining muscle initially, which won’t register as weight loss.
