Spring Clean with Megan & Joel (5 days to go)
I have been so off track the last couple of years with my nutrition and fitness and this week I am back. I’m staying in a deficit. I’ve lost weight. I am sleeping better, my joints aren’t achy and honestly the ankle issue I’ve been dealing with for the past 2 years is not keeping me from walking every day.
Keep working everyone!

- Yoyve got this!!
Feeling stuck here. I run 30 miles a week, eat around 1500 cals a day and cannot lose a single pound. Have been stuck for over a year. This first week I actually freaking gained weight. Sorry to be negative but I need help. My meal plan: I never eat breakfast- no appetite but have coffee with skim milk and sugar free creamer. Lunch is usually salad w chicken or bowl of fruit. Snack is granola bar or grapes and dinner is usually protein veggies and carbs- like chicken n broccoli with pasta. I do have a glass of alcohol 2-3 x a week and I drink diet soda. What am I doing wrong

Something to note about workouts: more or longer isn’t always better.
It’s easy to get into a mentality that you need to workout 60-90 minutes to really make any weight loss progress, especially when you’re up against a short time table, like this DietBet. But remember that it’s all about finding the balance between your calorie intake and workouts. You do not need to kill yourself physically, thinking that will help. In fact, it can hinder results, like creating more inflammation in your body and/or retain more water because your body is trying to recover. This also goes for double workouts in a day.
Instead, focus on a SOLID workout that may be closer to 30-60 minutes (max). You’ll be able to push yourself harder since it’s a shorter amount of time, while still getting a solid burn. Remember as well, that muscle activation from weight lifting does increase your caloric burn throughout the day vs. just cardio. 😉👍
