I am so happy to have finally found a youtuber with actual, trustworthy fitness viedeos. I love that you don‘t tell any lies for views and explain everything clearly. Thank you♥️
I’ve been using calorie counting for about 3 months now and I can tell everyone that it does work! I’ve already lost 9kg! Yes I did start to exercise more too, 3 runs a week to follow a start to run program. Now that I can run 30 minutes straight (around 4,5km) I have toned the exercising down to 2 runs a week as this fits my lifestyle more. I really recommend calorie counting to everyone who wants to lose, maintain or gain weight!
Thats amazing and motivating. I started tracking my calories earlier this week and my macros and if I can get the same results as you I would be very happy. Best of luck to you.
Hey Lucy! I just finished your 12-week bodyweight trainer and I LOVED it! I lost (at least) an inch off my hips, and definitely lost my quarantine weight. I am going to start it over on Monday
@@hms8112 I bought a cheap over-the-door pullup bar from Amazon, but other than that you don't "need" anything. I had a couple sets of dumbbells laying around, so I used those to modify some exercises. Hope that helps!
How can you not love this person?! Lucy, you are such a sweetheart, so relatable, so soothing, trustworthy and motivating! Absolutely love your way of explaining and the topics you come up with! :) Keep going and thank you so so much!
That's what I've been doing for like a month now. I've started exercising too for 4-5 times per week and I've lost 3kg so far! Tbh I mostly want to "tone" and not lose that much weight in particular. My body thanks me every day! Just keep listening to your body, and be consistent!
I've watched probably hundreds of videos like this one, but I'm subbed and you're so pleasant and soothing, so I still clicked to watch even though I've been at this weightloss thing on and off since 2016....SO tell me why I've done the TDEE math once again and it's Finally clicked that the 30% deficit I've had success with in the past might be too agressive for the training I do now, and the reason I keep breaking down with seemingly no control over the amounts of food I eat over the weekends isn't because there's something wrong with me (although I guess you can never truly rule that out LOL). Just goes to show that you can know something in theory and still struggle to apply it in practice. Anyway, I'm done with sharing this epiphany. I guess I just wanted to say thank you for doing what you do!
I would recommend that people only cut out food groups if one has a serious addiction. I am a recovering sugar addict. I would eat sweets every day, never denying myself, for years. But even when I tried to make reductions, like "Okay, I am only going to have 3 cookies out of the box and that's it for today," I would still end up eating the whole box and probably buying another box too and finishing that off as well. My craving for sweets only intensified after I ate a sweet, never becoming satisfied. It was like if your hunger only got worse after eating rather than the hunger subsiding. So this addiction really fueled my constant cycle of overeating sweet treats on a daily basis. To me, you know you have a food addiction if you can't stop yourself from eating something even if you yourself want to stop. No matter how much you try to force yourself to cut back even a little, you can't seem to control yourself. I kicked my sugar addiction by stopping eating added sugar and sweeteners entirely. I did not cheat at all, because I knew from experience that even having the tiniest bite of a sweet was enough to trigger my intense cravings and make me have to start the process all over again. So this time, I went entirely cold turkey with no cheating. It's the first time I had never done that in my life. The first two months were absolutely miserable, really terrible withdrawal and overwhelmingly strong cravings. I used non-sweet foods to pacify myself when the cravings got unbearable. It's probably different for everyone, but the treats I used for me were bacon, peanuts, and Buble (unsweeted flavored carbonated water). But after those awful first two months, I stopped craving sweets entirely and felt entirely normal again. No more withdrawal. And no longer having cravings for sweets has been a game changer. It's had a huge positive impact on my life. I have so far been sugar/sweetener-free for nearly 3 years. Now that I am not constantly battling an addiction, it is so much easier to manage my eating habits. To be clear, I think most people do not need to go to the extremes I went to. Generally speaking, most people can "cheat" and eat a few sweets here and there without going overboard. They can have a few cookies and be satisfied. But for those of you who are like me, who are dealing with food addiction, just want you to know that it doesn't have to control your life. It's ridiculously difficult to overcome, but if I can do it, so can you. You got this. 🙂 (Also, to anyone wanting to try cutting sugar cold turkey, I definitely recommend starting at a time of year when there's not a lot of holidays. That's what messed me up the first time I tried it, lol)
My story is exactly like yours. I am in my first month of cutting sugar completely. I only have some honey with my porridge as that doesn't seem to cause me any cravings. Like you I have found having non-sugar treats has helped me on those days when I feel I am missing out, or the cravings are bad. Like cheese and crackers or some crisps. Thank you for sharing your story as it has encouraged me to keep going and to know that the cravings will subside eventually and hopefully I wont even need the non-sugar treats. I will never invite sugar back into my life, as I know the addiction will just kick into gear again and take over. I have quit before and then thought it wouldn't be a problem if I just had sugar in moderation. However, it just took over again. This time I am wiser and know there is no such thing as sugar in moderation for me. All the best on your sugar-free journey!!! :)
@@vanessajabbour4659 Yeah, I don't eat cake or sweets at parties anymore. Not even my own birthday party. (I know that sounds very extreme). But it honestly does not bother me. I also don't have a problem when other people eat sweets and cakes around me. (That used to be a HUGE difficulty for me back when I used to "cheat"). The fact that other people are eating cake at a party doesn't really affect me at all now. Because I've not eaten sugar/sweeteners for so long, I don't have the same cravings I used to have. As long as I am not too hungry before going to a party, I will not feel bothered at all by passing up the sweets. (If I'm very hungry, I literally want to eat EVERYTHING, lol. But that's normal.) Especially if the party has some salty snacks there to enjoy, I have a great time anyway. For my birthday now, I treat myself to non-sweet foods that I really enjoy and don't get to have very often. And I'll celebrate in other ways, doing other fun things I enjoy. I think of it this way: I've gotten to eat cake for literally every single birthday my entire life up until I decided to do this. Most cake tastes pretty much the same as every other cake, especially generic party cake. So for me, it's not a huge loss not to have anymore of it. Though, I know other people will not feel the same way.
@@Lady_de_Lis I see your point. The only thing is when I go along time without eating a certain food, i dont crave it but then when i see it infront of me being eaten by someone, it feels like a tease. Usually i can hold myself back but after a long time of restraining myself, it becomes more difficult so i end up having some and I crave more. I love chocolate and ice cream and cake obviously but my main thing is chips. And its difficult when I live with ppl who always have stuff like this around and eat it infront of me.
Petite ladies - don't use online TDEE calculators! They often use a basic equation which, when you lower the height, you end up with quite a low amount e.g. 1200-1400 calories. The NHS say that 1400 is the lowest you should go and below 1200 calories your body is in starvation mode. I ate around this range for a long time and it's miserable, unhealthy and unsustainable. Look up April Whitney/Smalletics, she has a great video on TDEE/calories for petite women and advises to track how much you are currently eating for a few days and then drop your calories accordingly so you don't undereat.
Im doing the calorie tracking right now (only started 2 days ago) and I never used to pay attention to nutrition labels (australia) but it really suprised me how much excess calories are in all the snacks! So far what I have learnt is just eat more vegetables, fruit, lean meat, LESS snacks (if i can resist) or make them a healthy snack like hummus with carrots instead of a salted cracker. .. I'm trying to have 1500 calories a day (500 below what is said for me to maintain my weight) so I can go from 70kg to 65kg-ish, I've just noticed I am alot 'flabbier' everywhere. So while I'm not going to get obsessed with the tracking, like you said to not to! I do want to try consume smaller portions, without the exercise so much..
I honestly don't know anything about nutrition but this helps me a lot more and thank you for making this video, now i can start tracking my calorie intake. :D
Thanks so much for this useful info Lucy!! As watching your videos I really started to get used to the idea I don't have to start baking fancy zucchini muffins in order to lose weight 🙈It's really about making small simple changes. For me, tracking calories is a nightmare and lots of stress, I've tried like 3 times and every time after a month or so I would break and stop controlling what I eat completely. So it's a relief to know there's other way - the intuitive eating. For sure it's much harder to hit the right amount of calories when you don't track exactly, but as I'm dreaming of losing weight for many years, I can wait another few months experimenting with my diet without stressing that much. Your videos and "no right or wrong" approach is exactly what I need now, as I'm trying to attempt losing fat again, and already having this anxiety about the process. Thanks for the hard work you put in making these materials! 🙏🏽♥️
I just wanted to say that I absolutely love your videos! I found that I started losing some weight after I ate less and stopped abusing so many condiments.
I think she does. Her website has a section on consultations and online fitness coaching www.lucylismorefitness.com/online-consultations Hope that helps!
I am always suprised that people know that calorie deficit works and you can do it in such a way that it does not impede on your life (aka 15-20%) , yet people either skip it completely or go for these extreme varients because they show short term results, such as fasting or 1200< calorie deficit. And like Lucy said in the video its not substainable at all. I have a friend who been battling obesity for years, he has PT friends who keep telling him what to do, but he makes excuses that " As long as I am working out, I can have a chocolate here and an energy drink there". It never works out. Ever.
Sorry to disappoint you, it works for some people (myself included). I approach it in the same way as the exam period at Uni, so time to make sacrifices and not so pleasant things (studying late night e. g.), skipping a party, with the weight loss I do the same, make big sacrifices for a short time (1-2 months) and go flat out to achieve long term result (weight/passed exam). I really believe that discipline here in these 2 situation is required exactly the same....
I'm the same! Exactly same numbers and goals as yours!! Congrats! How are you managing working out? How many sessions a week do you do if you don't mind me asking? :)
@@somiyamajumdar8788 i been just eating correctly... keeping under 1500 cals and intermittent fasting... eating after 12 till 7pm.. not much working out but i love stairs so i run up and down my stairs till i cant no more... i try do 10mins the morning.. 10mins at night.. inbetween work and kids...
@@crypto4207 and me too! Trying 1kg per week but also if i can't, I don't fuss about it. I still continue with my healthy eating and working as regular
Hi Lucy, thank you for your new video! It is really good! How can I calculate the ideal amount of each macro for me? What would be the ideal percentage of each macro for weight loss. I am 40 years old and I am finding very difficult to lose weight lately. Can you indicate what would be a good ratio for my personal need? Thank you very much.
Hi, I'm not an expert but i am using myfitnesspal and it shows how much macros i should be eating each day to have a balanced diet. I think the app personalises it according to your data and what your fitness goal is. Hope this was helpful for you!
Great video. I was doing really well but I gained some weight (The good life. I’m in a new relationship and we’ve been eating a bit more and drinking quite some wine which I normally don’t 😄😄) Want to get back on it. So back to tracking calories ( that works really well for me. I don’t feel restricted at all ) and intermittent fasting also works really really for me.
What if the online calculators tell you to eat less than 1,200 calories? I have an injury that prevents me from moving much or working out, and all the calculators suggest about 1,100 calories a day to lose weight. But at the same time I feel like this might be too low a calorie count in order to safely lose weight, and I want to avoid going into "starvation mode". How do I reconcile this??
MyFitnessPal is a very common one which is free for the basic version. The free version is usually adequate for non-athletes including people just looking to lose or gain a bit of weight, or even just to help track in order to incorporate more nutritious foods whilst maintaining a constant weight.
If I’m burning between 300-400 calories per day (from exercising), is that considered to be less calories going out than in? I’m having a hard time understanding.
you're definetly losing more than 300-400 calories a day. thats only what you lose from working out, but you're burning calories all day. you're even burning calories in your sleep, or when you're watching tv etc. you have to find out how many calories you burn over the whole day and then eat less calories than that. depends on your height and other things but 1500 - 2000 kcal are usually good for losing weight.
Neat doesn't work for me. I was shopping and delivery people's groceries last year all year but I didn't even lose a cup of calories. And I always time myself so I'm active more.... I have had the same 196 pounds since I was pregnant with my daughter in 2018 I'm still 196 even right now
I got my diet plan from Agoge Diet and lost 2kg in just 10 days. So far, so good. Can't wait to see numbers on scale after 20 more days. I am so excited about this.
I eat about 1000cal a day just the way I’m I don’t eat much..... but I’m fat..... and don’t loose weight....... people say is because I don’t eat much but in my brain say lots of foods is gaining weight....... so confusing....
When you eat too little for too long, your body can go into starvation mode and it holds on to as much fat as possible. Try slowly increasing to your recomended daily intake using the TDEE formula, and allow your metabolism to adjust. There will probably be a slight weight gain because your metabolism needs to adjust, and then if you want to lose a bit of weight then you can follow Lucy's advice and try a deficit of about 10-15%. Hope this helps :)
I’m 58 years old so I don’t understand the “trigger warning.” What the heck?! People who would get upset over a discussion of diet and calories are probably the very people that need to be watching videos about diet and calories.
its about eating disorders. good for you that you don't think its necessary, but for ppl who try to recover from anorexia/bulimia, talking about calories and losing weight could lead to them falling back into their disorder.
You are lucky you don't understand. If you try to, please don't. People who genuinely face issues with this don't need any more insensitive people like you. Thanks.
@@mrsroseblack9310 I know. We are labelled as soft and pathetic when all we are trying to overcome are traumas YOUR generation has made us go through. We are labelled as emotionally incapable, as people who wanna make a hill outta a mole. It's alright. We have heard it a lot so it doesn't affect no more. But I hope you realize some day how hard someone from this generation was trying to stay alive when they were being impacted by issues such as this. How hard people from this generation try to stay true to the expectations YOU all have put on our shoulders. I hope one day you realize that in your life you have walked pass many belonging to this soft generation, some in ur own home, without realizing how hard it was for them to be able to get up that day. But I'm glad, if you have lived a life where you weren't affected by things that affect us, I'm glad for it. I'm happy for you.

Very insightful! Do you recommend tracking seasonings on food?
What if the online calculators tell you to eat less than 1,200 calories? I have an injury that prevents me from moving much or working out, and all the calculators suggest about 1,100 calories a day to lose weight. But at the same time I feel like this might be too low a calorie count in order to safely lose weight, and I want to avoid going into "starvation mode". How do I reconcile this??
Was it raining when you recorded this ?? Just wondering.... awesome video
do i add my TDEE+ calories burned while wearing a watch ? or should my calorie deficit not include my TDEE as calories burned?
Okay, I think I finally understood this.
I’m still really confused I calculated my tdee but what do I do with it now?
So your tdee is how many calories you body burns in a day... what is your goal? X
Can u give a suggestion which calculator to use to count my calories to start a deficit
MyFitnessPal is a very common one which is free for the basic version. The free version is usually adequate for non-athletes including people just looking to lose or gain a bit of weight, or even just to help track in order to incorporate more nutritious foods whilst maintaining a constant weight.
So I shouldn't workout before eating??
My Tdee is 1400!!
Eat 1300, exercise for at least 30 - 60minutes per day. Should lose a pound every 10 - 12 days. (Approx)
If I’m burning between 300-400 calories per day (from exercising), is that considered to be less calories going out than in? I’m having a hard time understanding.
you're definetly losing more than 300-400 calories a day. thats only what you lose from working out, but you're burning calories all day. you're even burning calories in your sleep, or when you're watching tv etc. you have to find out how many calories you burn over the whole day and then eat less calories than that. depends on your height and other things but 1500 - 2000 kcal are usually good for losing weight.
I thought your necklace was the Serotonin symbol, but it's different!! What is your necklace symbolizing!?
Can’t see the calculator.
Can you tell me what molecular structure your necklace is?
Adrenaline
Neat doesn't work for me. I was shopping and delivery people's groceries last year all year but I didn't even lose a cup of calories. And I always time myself so I'm active more.... I have had the same 196 pounds since I was pregnant with my daughter in 2018 I'm still 196 even right now
Sounds like you're just maintaining. Maybe lift some weights and drop your calories consumed by 200 to 500.
I got my diet plan from Agoge Diet and lost 2kg in just 10 days. So far, so good. Can't wait to see numbers on scale after 20 more days. I am so excited about this.
recovering from Bulimia so must switch of...
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I eat about 1000cal a day just the way I’m I don’t eat much..... but I’m fat..... and don’t loose weight....... people say is because I don’t eat much but in my brain say lots of foods is gaining weight....... so confusing....
When you eat too little for too long, your body can go into starvation mode and it holds on to as much fat as possible. Try slowly increasing to your recomended daily intake using the TDEE formula, and allow your metabolism to adjust. There will probably be a slight weight gain because your metabolism needs to adjust, and then if you want to lose a bit of weight then you can follow Lucy's advice and try a deficit of about 10-15%. Hope this helps :)
@@hms8112 Thank you so much.....thats probably what is happening to me....
😱😱😱
No way doing fuck all but being active loses more calories then excersize
I’m 58 years old so I don’t understand the “trigger warning.” What the heck?! People who would get upset over a discussion of diet and calories are probably the very people that need to be watching videos about diet and calories.
It’s how soft and pathetic this generation is. Sigh.
its about eating disorders. good for you that you don't think its necessary, but for ppl who try to recover from anorexia/bulimia, talking about calories and losing weight could lead to them falling back into their disorder.
@@mrsroseblack9310 eating disorders aren't new, or something only younger people struggle with.
You are lucky you don't understand. If you try to, please don't. People who genuinely face issues with this don't need any more insensitive people like you. Thanks.
@@mrsroseblack9310 I know. We are labelled as soft and pathetic when all we are trying to overcome are traumas YOUR generation has made us go through. We are labelled as emotionally incapable, as people who wanna make a hill outta a mole. It's alright. We have heard it a lot so it doesn't affect no more. But I hope you realize some day how hard someone from this generation was trying to stay alive when they were being impacted by issues such as this. How hard people from this generation try to stay true to the expectations YOU all have put on our shoulders. I hope one day you realize that in your life you have walked pass many belonging to this soft generation, some in ur own home, without realizing how hard it was for them to be able to get up that day. But I'm glad, if you have lived a life where you weren't affected by things that affect us, I'm glad for it. I'm happy for you.
Oh Lucy... Love your videos, so down to earth, realistic and approachable. Thanks so much!
