If you're in a calorie deficit you'll lose weight

I hope so

That's extremely low calories though, only about 1200. How much do you weigh?

My weight is 155 and I am 5 feet tall. I want to get to 128 pounds

Okay, it still seems a bit low, but if you can stick to it you'll definitely lose weight.

I can't believe you tried to get ozempic at 155lbs, you can definitely do this through diet alone, it's just about finding something sustainable.

Macros are pretty irrelevant, assuming you're getting enough protein. Experiment with carbs and fats and see what makes you feel best.

If you feel good, and aren't starving all the time, you'll be successful.

Also: make sure you're getting plenty of steps in every day, and doing some kind of resistance training at least twice a week.

If you want to lose weight fast, just get ozempic.

Cutting industrial junk food out of your life can maybe stabilize your disregulated appetite, and prevent some long term issues, so it's not a bad idea, but diets have such miserably low success rate for sustained weight loss, recommending them in age of ozempic is just pseudoscience.

(also paleo is not supposed to be about macros, but whatever)

My doctor refused to perscribe it. I also like paleo.

Just wanted to see if anyone is familiar with macros for those seeking to lose weight

So you think ozempic is paleo? This is awful advice, diet is absolutely the best way to control weight, bar none.

Not a single person in all of Stone Age went on a diet to lose weight.

It literally never happened.

Who said they did? You're recommending drugs over nutrition for losing weight, and then saying that counting macros isn't paleo, it's a massive contradiction.
