Well written, thank you, this is just the advice I need. How would you calculate baseline calories or is it a flat 2000 for everyone?

So, eat less, move more essentially? The dieting industry has made this difficult, and it’s really not. Any plan has you doing exactly that… less caloric intake and in increase in energy expenditure. It’s not rocket science, and no one approach will work for everyone. Only you can learn what your body reacts to… you’re not going to read it out of a book, learn it in a social group, or (god forbid) find it on a mobile application. If you live a sedentary lifestyle and don’t monitor your food intake you will get fat. So; move more… and experiment with caloric intake to get to that point where you are losing weight slowly, and don’t feel like you’re starving at the same time. You may cal this article a rant, but; all it really is… is a commercial.

Good point! What about when you’re doing all the right stuff and you’re still getting zero progress? I get 100g+ quality protein a day, (1500 calories a day), I run 35-45 km per week and I’m 30lbs overweight. I’ve been active and eating clean like this for a long time, and haven’t lost an ounce in over six months. I know I’m doing the right things, but it’s annoying to have to put up with people being patronizing because they assume I eat crap and don’t exercise. Wtf? Am I doomed?

Hey Keith!

Great article. Made me laugh – yet this is so true! It’s like, let’s get the basics down first. Change ONE thing at a time and go from there.

Cheers,

Hey Keith, spot on advice (or should I say rant?). It’s so true that most people spend 95% of their time worrying about Step 3 crap. I get questions like that all the time. People don’t like Step 1 and 2 because -as you said- they are not “sexy”. I laughed when I read this: “It’s pretty fucking obvious most people aren’t in crap shape because they choose to train in the 8-10 rep range instead of the 4-6 rep range.” [Had to Tweet this.] It’s very obvious, but I get questions like this all the time from beginners who haven’t done a single pull up in their life: they worry about this meaningless crap. Anyway, this post is useful for me too because you’re right, I don’t help anyone when I say “Eat less, move more”. I’ll keep that in mind from now on and I’ll might just send people to this article instead.
