what are things I can do to stave off my sweet tooth while still being under my maintenance? also tips on burning calories without getting too tired and passing out would be greatly appreciated, I try to go in a deficit and work out but I swear that shit puts me near death.

I try to do cardio because it burns a good amount of calories and it's easy, and I'm also not well versed in the gym so I don't really know what else to do.

I want to lose 10lbs over the summer.

I DO THIS!!!! It's awesome and I have energy drink powder that I can put in water. Although caffeine does dehydrate you it's more hydrating to do it that way than a regular energy drink.

oh smart!! thank you!

I normally get my steps in at the gym, how long does it even take to get 20k??

It’s hard if your city isn’t walkable I guess that’s like 3 h maybe. Just run if it’s boring to you or incline walk at the gym for a shorter time.

melon is very good i eat lots of them
any, and all fruit is good in general but esicailly melon, or berries,
do be careful about dried fruit tho


uhhh zero or low cal drinks are good as well
 
Some low calorie sweets off the top of my head: (Flavored) ricecakes, yogurt, fruit, meringues, diet soda/energy drinks, water flavor packets, gum, SF jello, jolly ranchers, fudgesicles (only 80 calories, SF version only 40 I believe!), Orange push pops are usually lower calorie, Yasso bars, lollypops, Peeps are surprisingly low calorie, Halo Top/Nick's ice cream, protein snacks... etc.

Something yummy is covering fruit like banana or strawberries in chocolate (there's SF/lower calorie brands) then putting it in the freezer, and putting yogurt on top of ricecakes.

You can also just portion anything you want to fit in your deficit or search for low calorie alternatives/recipes!

What always helped me in my deficits is focusing on my weekly/monthly average rather than spazzing over one day, eating satiating/filling foods, staying very hydrated, etc.

Good luck and stay safe!

Caffeine pills. It kills your appetite and makes you burn more calories.
 
Any harmful side effects? I already drink a lot of caffeine.
Using too much can be bad for your heart. You can get dizzy from it since it usually makes you piss a shit ton. There’s not I can think off

yeah if I drink caffeine too fast I totally fuck up my intestines. I think I'd need to take it slow with pills.

1/ Adding safe artificial sweeteners in your diet : Xylitol, aspartame, acefumate-k etc, in form of powders, and beverages like energy drinks and diet cokes

2/ Just do incline walking at the gym or biking/walking outside

3/ Try to calculate your sugary intakes in your daily calories and don't be too harsh on yourself.
It's an example, let's say you try to lose fat on a 1.5k calories daily, you can add a Snickers bar daily for example, in order to reward yourself and boost the moral especially with dieting

4/ Try to eat sweet high volume fruits like apples, watermelon etc

5/ If you cook/bake, you can add protein powder to meet your protein goals.
I recently baked a light strawberry/vanilla cake for my princess, and i added unflavoured protein powder to the recipe. It boosted-up the thing, roughly 20g of protein per 100g of cake.
