I started my weight loss journey about a year ago. At the time, I weighed around 102 kg (224 lbs). I decided to skip lunch at work (I used to eat at a nearby cafeteria) and sometimes even skipped breakfast or ate something light (~200-350 kcal).
Over the next 3 months, I dropped down to about 90-93 kg (depending on the day), but I noticed my energy levels were super low, and I realized this approach wasn’t sustainable in the long run. It was my first attempt at fat loss without doing much research.
Now, I see that most people recommend counting calories. My problem is that I eat lunch at a cafeteria every workday, and it’s tough to estimate how many calories I’m consuming there. Do people in this situation just meal-prep forever? That sounds like quite a hassle long-term.
Since I started eating at work again, I’ve slowly been gaining weight back ~96kg (211 lbs). I actually enjoy fasting, but the energy deficits are really noticeable. If it weren’t for that, I think I could sustain it long-term.
I stopped going to the gym because of scoliosis which was causing intense pain when lifting and afterwards even when resting. Perhaps simply walking / running a lot would help while I try to fix my back issues.
My main problem is my body fat percentage, which is probably around 30-34%, even with losing 10 kg I feel like my body fat decreased only slightly. Basically my main goal is to have a way lower body fat percentage, building muscle and looking fit is a secondary goal.
Any advice?
