i wouldn’t say i’m overweight, and i know that the BMI index is not necessarily reliable, but i do feel like over the years i’ve kinda lost the figure i used to have. i mostly stay at home and code now, whereas a couple years back i used to play a competitive sport on a daily basis.

how do you guys lose weight, or stay fit, as adults? i’ve tried the gym, i just don’t really like it there. i feel insecure, and i don’t really utilize many of the machines they have there since i don’t want to bulk or gain muscle. for christmas, i got a yoga mat and some dumbells. do lemmers have resources for creating a low-maintenance workout plan?

there’s also the whole diet thing. how do you count calories, eat well balanced meals, etc? i already struggle with meal prepping, and feel like having to account for calorie intake would make this even harder. or would that make it easier since i would get good at making the same things? idk, it’s stressful but i’m hoping to take better care of myself in 2022.

    Bariatric surgery produced such great (and unexpected) results, doctors and scientists took a deeper look … if i recall correctly, one of the conclusions : easiest way to lose weight is to reduce to a minimum the number of hours during which one takes food, meaning having the longest possible fasting period each day. (I’m combating pre-diabetes using this)
