How do you guys keep weight off while on projects? No matter how hard I try the pounds either stay or increase, despite eating healthy and working out six days a week.

Pack all your meals & snacks, and eat only that. Have a bit less booze after work

something is not adding up. you can't be actually eating healthy and working out six days a week and still gaining weight unless you have a medical problem.

If you're working out six days a week then either you need to change your gym routine, diet, or both.

If you're working out THAT much and supposedly eating healthy there is no way you should be gaining weight. So either your workouts aren't THAT hard, or you're eating too many calories.... or both. Weight is gained when there is a caloric EXCESS. Meaning you are taking in more calories than you are burning. So if your diet is truly in check.... then where are the excess calories coming from? Alcohol? Cut that out and watch fat melt. You also need to destress (without alcohol) because cortisol levels in your body are causing your body to cling to fat.

@publicis2 it really depends on the workout. Steady state running vs treadmill sprints is going to burn calories differently in the same amount of time. Sprints (aka HIIT) will blast thru calories much more efficiently than any steady state cardio ever will.

Even if I'm eating super healthy, I finding eating less amounts of food helps. Eat on smaller plates, you don't have to eat the entire portion restaurants give you, snack less.... try to shrink your stomach.

Portion control really helps and best if you're doing it with healthy food.

Working out doesn't burn half as many calories as you think it does, and don't tryst the counters on the exercise equipment either, it's nearly all wrong. Working out increases strength and stamina, and muscle tone. If you're really eating healthy and gaining weight, consider that your metabolism may have slowed down, and get your thyroid checked. As you get older you can't eat like you did when you were a teenager or in college.

If you're eating clean and working out, I'd get to the doctor to check your thyroid/blood work just to be safe. Stress doesn't help with weight loss. Potentially check out meditation to separate the project from your personal well being. Good luck.

You can make healthy smoothies. 🙄. If youre buying one from Jamba Juice.... not so much. They include a LOT of sugary foods into their smoothies. But if you make your own at home and control what ingredients youre putting in (like use a protein powder, spring mix, a few berries, a 1/4 of avocado and a 1/2 cup of oats) and boom. The protein powder will sweeten it (depending on what flavor you have), as will the berries. And youre looking at ~25-30grams protein, 30ish grams of carbs (depending on how many berries you use) and ~10grams fats from avocado (and 5ish grams carbs). All told= about 350 calories and it has a COMPLETE macronutrient profile. It's not overly heavy in any one macro (macros are proteins, carbs, fats) so you are satiated and get a good balance of everything. That kind of smoothie is my go to for breakfast.

@Analyst1, read more carefully. I said it doesn't burn as many calories as you think it does, and does not generally affect weight loss. No one would argue that different types of exercise don't burn a different number of calories. See here: http://www.vox.com/2016/4/28/11518804/weight-loss-exercise-myth-burn-calories and the other 100s of studies that say the same thing.

High metabolism

Keep track of your calories in and weight for a week while following your routine workout schedule. A formula you can easily google will tell you your TDEE according to which you can plan your average food intake. Knowledge is power. You will realize soon little food it takes to keep you full and at equilibrium and how often we compensate emotional imbalances and areas with excess of food.

You need to talk to a professional trainer, a certified dietician, and a doctor, to cover all areas and see which one is wrong.

Do you consider eating healthy food having a smoothie? 'Cause it's not.

Looking for practical advice on improving my attitude to work.

So imagine an imaginary scale where 0 is the worst piece of work a studio could produce and 10 is the best possible outcome.

As an animator working in an agency, I normally end up involved in projects towards the end, so by the time I get my hands on a project I can add between 1 and 3 depending on how much effort I put in.

If a project is a 3 when I get it, how do I summon the energy to make it a 6 that I could to make a 7 a 10?
