I am a active 5'2 female who is really struggling to lose weight. My goal is to lose just over 10 kgs by next year.
For context, over the past couple of years my diet has been really bad due to my mental health. Instead of eating meals, I opted for sugary snacks throughout the day. This was a restrictive diet which kept me slim but wasn't good for my health. However, this past year I have been attempting to clean up my diet and focus on nutritious food. I have been meal prepping, and whilst my meals fill me up, I am still stuck in a compulsive cycle of snacking on sugar regularly throughout the day on top of this, leading to weight gain.
I really want to lose weight in a way that is sustainable and establish healthy diet habits. I don't want to have to skip meals to lose weight fast.
Plan:
- I've estimated my current TDEE to be approximately 1750- 1900 depending on the intensity of my workouts. --> I'm attempting to aim for a calorie intake of about 1350-1400 per day.
- I eat 3 meals a day. I have a coffee in the morning. I don't have my first meal until midday because mornings are hectic for me. I usually have another meal when I get home from work at around 5pm and a 3rd meal at 7pm.
- I am trying to reduce my sugar intake
- My macros are 30% protein, 30% fat, 40% carbs
- I workout daily and love it. My weekly split includes running, resistance training, hiit and yoga
Does anybody have any advice for me with regards to my struggles with compulsive snacking? Does my plan sound like it could work? Does anyone have any tips from their own experience?
Thanks very much to anyone who takes the time to read this. I really appreciate it.
