Hi all, I’m currently trying to make better food choices to lose weight. Im 5’7 and weight 79kg (I had 2 kids. Before kids I was 60kg)
I’m in calorie deficit every day without trying (I’ve only been doing this a week so long road ahead) but my fat intake is high. To lose weight I need 50g of fat a day and whilst I try hard to maintain that I sometimes go between 100-120g and other days I will go under 50g. I noticed if I stay under 50g fat a day I will feel a little weak the next day so not sure if keeping it that low is for me.
I eat hardly any carbs. I have no problem with that. I eat anything between 60-80g carbs a day but LOTS of protein, again without trying.
is that bad? I know there’s good fats like salmon and avocado which is what I eat. I don’t eat crisps or fries or chocolate etc.
Can you still lose weight doing it like this? I dont need to drop dress sizes anytime soon so I’m not bothered about how long it takes I’d rather do it slower so I feel good in myself otherwise I’ll quit.
just don’t know if I’m sort of wasting my time like this or if I do need to stick to the 50g fat a day.
any advice would be great ☺️
