One time my mom told me that since I’m short, 5 pounds is gonna look more on a short person.
Definitely true ! Same goes for when we lose it. Like if I gain 5 lbs I’ll feel it and see it more than a tall person, but when I lose 5 it is pretty significant
Well yes, we wear it very different
Yes i agree its because i look bigger because im short its hard
Agreed, shorter people cant carry much extra weight before looking very heavy
right. that’s exactly why i’m only aiming to lose 4 lbs a month
Just realized my problem is I'm eating like my 6'1 husband and I'm 5'4 lol. Loved how much information was in this! Great video
Girl same! Except Im 5'1 LOL
Same he’s 6’3 and I’m 5’4 and we eat roughly the same 😭😭😭
im 5'4 and feel like a tall person because my family is all short :')
Same ! Lol
@@gloriabanderas6842 damn you must look like a kid in front of him.
Cries in 5 feet tall 😅
Waving hi from 1 inch above ya!
Looks up at you thinking you're soooo tall since I'm 4'11
5’ here too!
🤣🥹
I'm 5 foot 1 and have lost 40lbs in the last 9 months. Not easy but definitely doable. The first thing I had to do was realise I'm a little person and don't need to eat like a large one!
how many cals did you eat? and did you keep the weight off
@@lifewithzinnah im 5 feet 0 inches and 27, my maintenance is 2100 to lose a pound a week i need to eat 1500/1600
congrats ! its been a year now but how would u size ur portions now ? i love eating big but i hate feeling like the girl from charlie and the choclate factory who jus tinflates like a balloon lmao
@@SublimeGeminiare you telling me i don’t have to starve as a short person? I don’t have to suffer with 1200 calories?
I’m 5’4” and eat 1600 calories but I weight train 4x a week. I’m eating more calories and losing more weight than I did eating at 1200 calories. Don’t eat 1200 or you’ll end up binging and going up and down. It’s miserable I did this for years.
It is miserable 😩 I’m just NOW learning to finally eat MORE and feed my body so it can take care of me back. What a process! It’s probably what I would tell myself if I was able to go back in time 🫠
Well, you are weight training. Some older females can't. People in wheelchairs can't.
I have to add that I water fasted for 10 days and lost the extra weight that way. It was the easiest way because I lost my appetite after 3 days and it healed my back too. So this is cool
That’s why most tall people are just natural skinny 😲
Yeah :(
Its not necessarily true, I am 5.3 and I eat more than all my taller friends and am fitter than all of them, because I weight train and they don't!! Its just like the story of "the tortoise and the hare"!!😊
Thanks, most of the influencers keep saying no one should be eating 1200 cal. I do 1400 and I’m 5’ so this video lets me know I’m still on track. So far I’m down 35 lbs.
Thank you for commenting this. I’m around 5’ or 5’1 and been eating 1440. I just need to be consistent to see results!
I know this is an old comment but April Whitney on yt is really good and talks about petites specifically on her channel
I’m 5’2” but am 63 yo with hypothyroidism. I cannot eat over 1,100 calories per day or I will gain. Age plays a factor too, unfortunately, ugh!🥹
Ugh I'm 5'2 and my resting metabolic rate is 1200 kcal... I hate how people always say I eat so little... yeah cuz I am little
Sorry this made me giggle 🤭
it must be that low cause you don’t exercise 🙀
@@lifewithzinnah well they were talking about their RESTING metabolic rate. Your BMR has nothing to do with exercise.
@@Kayla-xg3mz Usually the more muscle mass you have the higher your BMR is though right?
@@lifewithzinnah that is true but there is no way of actually telling how much extra calories your body burns due to your muscle mass. The BMR calculator only takes your gender, height, age, and weight.
People see: LESS CALORIES
I see: LESS FOOD COSTS
Who knew my height would be a reason I seem to have a hard time losing weight.5 ft crew
Sucks being petite and 55 yr old menopausal and 5’2”
I'm 4'9 and used to weigh about 105 pounds, ate whatever I wanted, sometimes up to 2000-3000 calories. My tummy was definitely chubby and I felt swollen a lot of the time. After losing 10 pounds over one year and getting some muscle definition, I look like a totally new person. Unfortunately I can only eat about 1580 to maintain assuming I'm working out 3-5 days a week. It's so hard because I'm a foodie and love to eat too. I wish I was taller to be honest
Try doing reverse dieting for 6-12 months,while weight training, you can increase your calorie intake by 1000 cal easily in one year,then you'll have more room to play with and drop more weight if you want to, and you can eat more too🙂 if you don't know what exactly reverse dieting is, do your research, make sure you understand it completely and avoid the common mistakes...you'll thank yourself for doing it🙂
I’m
4”9 too and the highest I weighed was 118 when I was 21! I’m 43 now and 90 pounds.
@@FitFoodieNutritionist this wan't work... Why you think people give kids 'kids' portions? Because small body needs less food! In addition kids are growing so they use calories for growth and adults don't. 4'9 it's like 10-12 year old kid. Two girls that are in my family are 12 and already 5'3!!! Geeeeezzzzz
@@baassiia Reverse dieting does work!! 100%!! although there is always an upper limit on the calorie intake for individuals, but RD can help to get close to that upper limit. I am 5.2 and I weigh 105 lbs, I eat around 2000 calories to maintain now!! 4 years ago, I was maintaining at 1200 after an unhealthy weight loss!! I am the same person, same genetics, and am even older now, but I eat more and weigh around the same!! it's all about doing it correctly :)
@@FitFoodieNutritionist even if your maintenance is indeed 2000lcal you havn't mentioned your daily activity level, so again this is BS.
I work from home, very little movements during work week. I won't be able to sustain high activity level long term, I know that - it never worked in the past actually. People have to adjsut to their actual life, family, work and so on, not to dream life.
Alexa is 4'9 and you are 5'2 again it's not the same. She already wrote that she exercise 3-5 times a week, so you want her to train more? Bit toxic
Thank you so much Eric, I learned so much from this video. As a 5'2'' female with PCOS I get so frustrated with trying to lose weight because it feels like my biology is just working against me. I've watched a handful of your videos now and you are by far the most straight forward and genuine person, and you really help encourage people like me to see weight loss as obtainable and sustainable goal. You helped me realize that to lose weight it's not just always about working harder, it's about being smarter and all these other things I never even considered have a much greater impact than you would think.
this comment makes me so happy
I feel exactly the same way
I am this height too and struggled with weight gain all my life, I also have medical conditions that cause weight gain, slows down your metabolism and it makes it harder to lose it...
I know I'm short (5'1) but for some reason I can't stop laughing at this targeted video hahah but thank you so much for this! I've complained about 5-10 pounds to my 6'4 boyfriend before and he thinks I'm insane. I try to tell him that I notice that weight gain so fast on my short frame.
im 5'2" and I lost 45lbs by counting calories and taking more walks, it really works!! now I weigh 136lbs but sometimes i get sad when I see tall people who weigh more than me but look slimmer, i get that's just how they're built but it's hard to see ngl
Walking can really work and people truly underestimate the power of just walking more or at all.
I know. Not fair! 🥲
Their body fat and muscle percentages probably plays a role in that - a pound of muscle takes up less space than a pound of fat :)
“On the shorter end”. I’m 4’8”, 48 years old with PCOS. Lost 25lbs this year, managing calorie intake and strength training and increased my NEAT. It’s doable!
LETS GOOOO
You go girl!! Youre awesome!
omg this is amazing!!
I have pcos and 4”11. Did you stop eating or limit carbs?
I'm 4'8 too! How many calories do you eat to lose weight? I'm going to start strength training again. I weigh alot 162. I have PCOS
By far my most favorite video! Just bought a food scale 🤘. Ready to rock this out! 5.3 and PROUD! Love how at the beginning of the video you were trying to not offend the “short person “ community 😂😂😂
I’m 5 ‘1 and it’s a constant struggle .. also if I gain 5 pounds it looks like 20 on a tall person
Me too
I needed this video 😂 I’m 5’0 and I used to eat like a 6’4 man! I had to be more self conscious about my height.
Same😭😭 and I’m a Michael Jackson fan 2
Aye we all MJ fans in here tryna lose weight
samee dude man food too good bro lmao
Didn't know i needed this...thank you sooooooo much
I am 5'1" btw
5’0 & have lost 46lbs so far eating healthier (I still have my days where I eat like crap but I limit it) still want to lose another 20lbs!
how many calories did u eat?
This makes so much sense😭 I’m 5’1 and I always felt how hard it was but thought maybe I was just being dramatic. I learned so much gonna go watch the other videos now! Thanks for the info!
Omg…I love you for this video! I’m 5’2.5” and it is definitely a challenge getting the weight off.
Can you make a video about short people exercises next?! 🤣☠️
I know it sounds crazy but I have a long torso and really short legs and I find a lot of the supposedly “easy” low impact exercises difficult. I have super thick thighs and I need to know the best exercises to burn the fat and tone them without my legs looking bulky…I hope I make sense.
^ as a 5ft person I second the short ppl exercises as well, my legs are so frickin short I hate it
I have the same. I feel v inflexible and like i look less athletic as a result
I’m 5’2” and I am literally trying to lose only 5lbs and it’s killing me. 😅 remembering to and getting used to eating less is very hard!
I feel it’s harder for us shorties
As a 5 ft women, with a bmr of 1280, it sucks to try to be in a deficit. I've lost 120 lbs but can't get past 160. Weight training 3 days a week and cardio twice a week. All I've done is get stronger and thicker but can't lose any more weight. I've had a body scan to check my body composition. Getting jealous of "skinny fat" women!
Short person chiming in (4'11"). Thank you! I am making a conscious effort to get more steps in!!
Hello fellow 4'11" fun sized person!
I used the tdee calculator and it tells me my maintenance calories is 2489. So out of that if i wanna loose weight how many calories do i have to eat? Im 5'1ft
5'1" here...this was super helpful and I'm going to rewatch to take notes. I already identified I need to increase my NEAT, eat more protein, and eat at consistent times. I literally do the exact opposite of your advice. 🤦♀️
I'm 4"11 and when I gain weight it's definitely as noticeable as when I lose weight 🙃
short people problems
I started walking 15 -25 min before every meal and its helping me lean out and the amazing part i have more energy and less tired thru out the day.
You have a lovely personality and I can tell you genuinely care about helping people improve their lives. Thanks for the information and God bless🙏🏾
Do you have tips on how to grow taller cus I like food too much and I'm 4'11 🤣☹️
The good news when you lose 5 lbs it looks like you lost 10
Thank you Eric for this !!!! 5ft1 and struggled my whole life with weight !!!
Thank you so much for this video! I am 5'4 and have lost about 10lb so far in my health and fitness journey. This video really helped validate what I have been doing so far. I did not even realize that I was doing this all correctly! This video just helped to motivate me even more! :)
I have a medical condition that won't allow me to lift. I can use elastic bands though. Can they work to build muscle as well?
What if someone has issues digesting large ass salads or large amounts vegetables. Recovered vegan. Was vegan 5 yrs ago and was vegan for
7 yrs before. Thank you
I can digest fruit really well
Same. Ive been doing fruit only Sunday-Thursday and I add my protein and other food groups on Friday and Saturday. If I eat meats fish or chicken I don’t digest it as fast. I’m 5’1 by the way
(i’m 5’4, 20 yrs old) during quarantine, i went from 115 to 140. now i’m at 125, still looking to lose about 5-7 pounds. 100% my entire lifestyle changed. i had never been 140 before, but i also had never had chik fil a everyday or ate a pint of ice cream a day before. now, i’m back to eating more home cooked meals (and no fast food), going on walks, and eating ice cream as a treat maybe twice a week (sometimes more, but i definitely am not eating a pint a day 🤭). also, counting calories in the beginning was very much needed. cuz even tho i thought i was eating healthy then, i was still eating too much. now i’m off calorie counting and can estimate a good amount to eat. i also used to lift weights all the time pre-covid, so i’m super excited to do that again once i’m back at school in 2 weeks. overall, i feel way healthier than i was at 140! healthy habits build up, and you’ll never want to stop doing them once you’ve got it established
How many calories do you intake now?
Congrats! How many calories were you eating to lose weight?
I’m very short and I have hypothyroidism. Double whammy
it’s such a bitch. If I eat a little more it’s too many calories, If ai keto low im losing cause it’s too low. Never win!!
I've been a 1266 calorie deficit and I haven't lost weight but I fell a difference in my waist line. I'm just lifting weights right now. I'm in no rush to lose 40 lbs that quickly. Going to start measuring myself.
Woooo i cant believe you uploaded a short gals video!!
😉
I just did a calculator. It said my maintenance is 2,242 cals (5’2 , 155 lbs, 16 yrs old) So I should be eating 1742 cals to lose 1 lb a week?
I'm 5'4 and i lost 13 pounds in 8 weeks just by lessening my calorie intake
Thank you so much for this video. Since having my 3 kids and being in my 40s, weight loss has been so challenging. I have bounced from WW, IF, to low carb with short term results. I couldn't understand why I was binging at night. Eating 1200 calories a day and getting exercise in regularly (my TDEE says 2200). The scale wasn't budging. Your video made sense and was so easy to understand. I appreciate you
I absolutely love your videos. Your videos, tips and guidance has made my weightloss journey so simplified. Thank you so much
Down 45 pounds in 4 months. 5'3"
How did you do it?!? I am struggling to lose these last 45 lbs!
Please can you share how you did it please, I’m 5’3 as well, l’ve lost weight since high school but now it’s like I’m at a weight loss plateau, no matter what l do l can’t lose weight past 152. I’m stuck at 152 lbs
30 mins strength training,5 days a week, walk 10k steps a day, no processed foods,no sugar,, a gallon of water a day
@@vakosak82 thank you for responding 😊
@@vakosak82 Hey, what do you mean by less sugar?
I’m 5.1. I was 250 Two years later I’m now 175. Still need to lose more. Thx for the video.
I know right! I'm 5ft one inch. And weight 171bls... I need to lose some more weight 😩
Congrats you did awesome 👌 👏 👍
Ha! Interesting 🤔 I'm 5'3 and I didn't know this until now lol I loved this info! Thank you
yessss i’ve been waiting for this !!! thank you for including us short people
can you do a video about eating below your bmr to lose weight?
Omg! I’m 4”11 and on the curvy side. Thank you!
Unfortunately for myself and everyone who works nights, we are unable to eat at the same time consistently because, on your nights off, most of us try to sleep at night. Working nights is a whole other beast, when it comes to loosing weight and building muscle.
I’ve already learned so much from this video and I’m only halfway finished. Thank you!
Im 6,3 feet. I found this interesting even if it dosnt directly apply to me. I guess increasing the DMR by buildings muscles also could work on tall people.
5’1 here. It took me 2 months to loose 5 pounds 😂 went from 106 to 101 by walking 10k steps per day 4x pilates per week and eating 1000 cals a day
So far this has been *THE* most helpful tips for a petite person that I've seen from videos out there. I wrote all this info down on a white board near my desk to reference easily and I'm excited to try these tips out!
Its Your Weight Not Your Height 😂😮😂
Thank you so much for this. This is a confirmation that I have been eating more for my height. I'm 5'1 and trying to lose weight for sooo long. My husband always tell me that I need to eat less since I eat more than him and he is 5'8. But I'm stubborn and don't want to measure my calorie intake coz I find it difficult. But it's day 5 now that I'm tracking my calarorie intake and limiting it to 1320 for a calorie deficit. And aiming for 10k steps. Excited for the progress.
im 33yrs 5'3"and 179 lbs and ive been eating 1,300 calories is that legit?
As someone who is 5"1 , ( 156 cm) THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO 🤣
4’ 11” here! 55 years old! I’m just so confused😢 been working out almost 3 months now no change on scale but my clothes are loose. So I’m just gona keep going.
I'm going back on the Nutrisystem diet the first time I was on it I lost 15 lbs and I'm 4'6 I just got to stick with the program
I’m currently 120 pounds at 27% body fat. My goal is to lose 10 pounds of fat so 110 pounds. 110 pounds x 12 is 1320 calories. Is this correct? It has been hard for me to stick to such a low number :( any advice here? Thank you!!
This on time because I'm tired 😫😴, 5,3" and 157lbs but i look fat.
Been waiting for this one!!! Thank you Eric for this!
5'11 here @ 230pounds. It doesnt look right. I want down to 180pounds
Thanks, Eric! As a person on shorter end (4''9') I found your explanations very helpful.
I'm vertically impaired 🤪
I’m not a fan of eating that much! Every time you eat you are spiking cortisol! Making it hard to lose weight.
❤too much insulin. 3xs a day is substantial. I eat 1 or 2xs per day. I'm 64. 5'2 fit n active. I don't measure calories but eat real whole food plenty of protein. Life is good 😊❤
I hate eating that much also. I like too eat 3x a day.
I’m a girl that’s 4’11 and trying to lose weight. I can barely fucking eat😂😂💔
Same. I’m 4’10, and this video makes no sense. So if my goal weight is 108lbs, and I multiply that by 12, that’s 1296 calories I should be eating in a day. Do people get how little calories that actually is? And the shitty thing is that I did do about 1300 cal a day for a long time, plus was doing cardio and strength training, and I have an active job where I am on my feet most of the day. Some weight came off initially but now I’m stuck around 115lbs and can’t budge from there. So now what? I’m supposed to do a further calorie deficit and eat only 800 calories a day? That BS.
@@KD-vf6yq what was your previous weight before?
@@tiaraios I was up to between 147-150lbs.
Losing weight as a shorter person is not harder that's a lie.. Taller people look thinner with more weight because their limbs etc are longer, When you are shorter fat is more noticable hence when why it "APPEARS" it is harder to get your ideal look. Shorter people have faster metabolisim.
Eat FEWER calories. Fewer, not less! FEWER is when there are many, LESS is there is one one to one comparison
You sound soo passionate ♥️ and I’m here for it 🥰
Eric, who was the person you mentioned? Jordan, I didn't catch the last name. Thank you for this video. I've lost 20 pounds this summer!

i only see womans in comment section😭
you are so much on point in your statements. I have never ever watched someone considering and explaining about short people. I am obesse, PCOS, and going through a really hard phase of life. Its life right!!. But getting so much and appropriate information(FREE) is such a blessing. M glad that i follow you. I still havent started but getting control of my hands on food slowly. Nd I am so thankful to you for this🤞🏻🙂
*crying in 4’10*
I get about 10 or 12 thousand steps sense work and i walk after each meal
Does walking in place count at "steps"? 🤔
lol yes but you need to travel some sort of distance for you to benefit from getting steps in
Does fasted cardio help or hinder any kind of weight loss efforts?
I believe it helps. I do fasted weight training too. No issues.
I'm short and plump 😂 it's like this video ment to find me. 5'4 and gained hella weight since covid. Would love to lose a lot of weight.
I am 5 feet even and weigh 163 pounds. I have an athletic build, but I am fluffy and cannot seem to lose this stubborn belly and back fat. I’ve tried intermittent fasting for 16 hours, walking at least 10,000 steps per day, and I weight lift and do cardio. My weight just seems to fluctuate between 163 to 159. I have not a clue what I am doing wrong besides the fact that my eating schedule has been off lately, but not often. I will just keep going and not look at my journey so much as a chore and just have fun with it. I refuse to give up.
You might be dealing with hormonal issues, constipation, water retention or you’re just eating slightly more than you’re burning. I’m not saying inherently overeating but 100-200 calories (which can be consumed quite easily really; juice, sauces, butter, oils, etc.) can really add up when you’re less than 5’3. I’m barely 5’2 and I struggle with the same issue of bouncing back the same 10 pounds. It’s usually a mix of irregular sleeping schedule, too much sodium, eating a bit more than I need etc.
But don't taller people also have bigger appetites?
Omg-sooo timely-I’m 5’1 1/2 and getting shorter bc I’m older also-thaaaaaank you so much!!
Omg I knew I wasn't crazy, my maintenance is 1700 ..and I have to eat 1200 cals and I keep reading '1200 is too low' like no...bro I need to eat that less cos I'm not 6"4 and I weigh 130 pounds ...like I'm being told to eat 1800 cals .
That's more than my maintenance!
I have been binging your videos and honestly you've filled in all the missing blanks I've been reading about from insta! Esp about 1200 cals being impossible etc etc ..so I've been eating more and wondering why my weight loss is so slow!
You need more views! You're the real deal !!
hey! how are you doing with the 1200 cal diet? and how tall are you
@@lifewithzinnah I'm 5'1 and I've been probably eating between 1300- 1400 cals because 1200 was just too low and I have been losing weight so it's working!
@@nadimamotlib1535 great! i’m 5’2 and starting to eat around 1600 cals
@@lifewithzinnah that's sounds like a healthy number! Are you in a calorie deficit?
@@nadimamotlib1535 yes i am my goal weight is 130 rn so ima try to eat 1560-1600! and i’m starting at 153. i’m trying to get to 130 by the summer.
honeslty the one video that explains it all
24 years ago. I did everything you said. I was lean, i never counted, i didn't watch what i ate. I lifted heavy. Now im in my 40s add two kids under my belt AND I'm short. Its insane how difficult it is now that I'm older.
The term for a person 5’4” or less is Petite. I don’t see my 4’11” body size as “short”. I prefer being called petite. The best exercise for my body is weight lifting. Building muscle will help increase my metabolism. I only eat 20% under my maintenance calories. My maintenance is 1934 20% is 386 - I eat 1548 calories per day. On days I do heavy workouts I don’t do a deficit. I’m burning more than 500 calories when I workout. I don’t need to eat a large deficit when I’m working out 5 days a week.
Not recommending this, but… I was at my lowest weight, 104 lbs at 5’1” when my cardiologist had me working out all the time. He didn’t consider anything you could speak while performing an actual cardio exercise. This was paired with some mild resistance (dance fitness class with 5 lb weights, ballet barre, stationary bike with resistance). I couldn’t keep up with his prescription, but I tried. I also tried to avoid processed carbs and focus more on meat and veggies.
Buuuuut as you’re losing weight, you see it first on short people. When a short person loses 15 lbs, you can really see it! I’m about 6’ tall. It takes about 35-40 lbs of loss before anyone even notices that I’m losing. More surface area.. ugh
Thanks a lot that’s an amazing video I’m 5.2 and I’m desperate to lose 5 kilos and nothing works I am depressed I stopped the gym had bad argument with many PTs and now setting alone trying to figure out how to solve this problem 😭
A 6'4" person @ 250 Pounds Has The Same TDEE Has A 5'1" Person @ 250 Pounds

Remember If A 200 Pound Person Loses A Pound a Week in 200 Weeks He Will Not Disappear
