Losing weight

[Henry_O]

Hey

do you have any tips how to lose weight with Jake?

Like eat 2 in stead of 3 a day?

I just ordered a box of Jake Light, cant wait to start!

Weight loss happens when you burn more calories than you eat. 3 servings of Jake Light is 1500 calories. If that's less calories than you burn in a day you'll lose weight; the greater the difference is, the faster you'll lose it. You can use TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) calculators online to give you a general idea of how many calories you burn in a day and what intake will get you what rate of loss.

Although this is completely true, it's pretty hard to actually know how many calories you actually burn on a normal day. And although in theory, it shouldn't matter whether you eat 1500 kcal worth of bananas or 1500 kcal worth of pure butter for losing weight, it definitely does matter in real life.

You're right that there are factors that are hard to determine, but the biggest problem I was trying to address was OP's flawed frame of reference -- i.e., thinking in terms of servings of Jake Light rather than in terms of the calories those servings provide. For most people, a 1000 calorie per day diet would be more than extreme and also entirely unnecessary for weight loss as a higher caloric intake would probably still result in a deficit. Adults tend to burn over 1500 calories just from being alive, even if they were not moving for 24 solid hours. The specifics vary, of course, but I think OP is dangerously ill-informed about how weight loss and nutrition in general work.

Thank you for the information.

I tried to calculate my TDEE and will just eat 3 Jake Lights. According to the calculator, I burn more calories than what I consume.

I am not so occupied with what I eat and how much calories I need so I thought it would be wise to just ask on the forum of Jake

You're right, although I'm not too afraid it would actually dangerous as Henry comes across as a doer kind of person, not much of a theoretician, at least when it comes to weight loss. What I would like to add is that, @Henry_O, you should listen to your body foremost. Although a bit of hunger is expected, you shouldn't be constantly daydreaming of food or be exhausted the entire day. Second, I'd expected @Frank_Official to have pointed out by now that you should build up your new diet gradually, starting with a meal or so a day and then build up to 3 a day. Completely changing your diet overnight can be quite a shock for your system. How's it going?

Im also having troubles with my weight. Although some people find the time and space to exercise regularly, I find it difficult to do so. I think the most important part is indeed to listen to your body. If you can switch to your new meal 100% without problems, then there are no problems.

Goodluck with the weight loss!

Hi Jake, obviously I am new to all of this, but I ask you this. What are your PERSONAL VIEWS OF EATING WHOLEMEAL BREAD as opposed to white bread. Now, I know that white bread is bad for not just your health, BTU also ur weight. What about wholemeal loaf?

When you choose a product over another product, it’s important to have a look at its nutritional value.

We tend to mark food as ‘good’ or ‘bad’, but it’s often not that simple. White bread doesn’t offer much nutritionally: it barely contains vitamins, minerals, fibres and contains quite some simple carbs. But, white bread every now and then can still be fine, as long as you make sure to get your nutrients through other sources. Finally, it’s good to keep in mind that whether product is good or bad, isn’t the same for everyone. Every body works a bit differently, so always listen carefully to your body.

Let’s take a look at white bread in comparison to wholemeal bread. We see that white bread contains less protein, fibres and minerals and more carbs. So, wholemeal bread contains more important nutrients than white bread and wins this matchup. Besides, the fibres help you to feel full for a longer time which can be helpful if losing weight is your goal.

Thank you for your swift response my friend, and yes, I thought as much. Although, it is good to get a second opinion.
