Body Weight

[Guest Nelly]

Hi,

I am still thinking about my body weight know and as a girl. To look "normal" I need to lose 10kg. As I calculate that this is possible by losing muscle weight and increasing body fat. But that is fiction and what is real? So I want to ask all the MTF here with finished transition about there experience and results.

Thanks in advanced for your information.

Greetings

The best way to lose weight is to gain muscle. Do toning exercises so you don't bulk up, but instead increase the muscle density.

Muscle burns energy like crazy, so your metabolism will increase and you'll be able to eat anything without worry! bwahahahaaaa! On top of that, the fat will fall off and you'll be left thin and sexxy!

Being 19yo pre-HRT, I can't relate to how the hormones affect anything, but I used to weigh 280 pounds and now am 100 pounds lighter, so I know a little bit about diet and exercise...

I can't recommend you stop moving to lose weight, that's not good for anyone or anything!

Hello Daru,

it is clear for me that I will not get the perfect female body weight for my body size. What I have done was to set my actual weight and calculate this body into a female body with same BMI. Or on other hand I calculate by using the different parts of the body ( fat and muscles) take this amount and recalculate it to the percentage of a female body. Both give me the result of losing 10kg. My idea was not to change lifestyle by doing hard diet. I know that appetit is changing with HRT and I heared that a lot of MTF person increase body wait because everything taste so good now. So disciplin is important.

Once I will start with hard ( I do not know yet) I will do toning exercises as I do now.

IMO the only people who need to do hardcore dieting are those who don't REALLY need to lose weight, or those who have eating problems. For the rest of the moderately overweight "(un?)normal" people, eating MORE is better! Not only do you lose weight, but you feel full all the time!

For the rest of us, not eating much/anything will just make us fatter.

Our bodies go, "Uhoh! It doesn't seem like I'm getting much energy lately! I better hold onto anything I do get just in case times get worse for me!"

We want our bodies to go, "Sweet, we're getting a consistent supply of nutrients, I'm feeling great and I can waste lots of energy on little things to make myself feel even better!"

Maybe I'll write a paper and introduce a new Fad diet to the world. The only difference is that mine will let you eat cake, lol... and you wont be forced to eat burgers without the bun.
