Trying to loose weight (not succeeding )

It will really put into perspective how many calories you eat a day, plus track and deduct excercise, walking, etc.<br /> <br /> What a lot of folks above said - Don’t complicate it, just stay in a caloric deficit. Only thing I would add is keep your fiber up and eat as clean as possible, no dirty carbs and sweets, clean protein/fish, vegetables and healthier carbs. I lost 43 pounds in 4 months doing this. Get the Fiber One gummies or comparable, eat a couple a day. It’s like a snack but keeps your insides moving despite the lack of fat and increased protein.That and enough water helped me a lot.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">When I was 16, I was 100 kg. I dropped 30 kg in 6 months on a low fat diet. It was effective, yes, but less than ideal.<br /> <br /> Nowadays, I recommend the paleo / primal approach (high fat, medium protein, low carb). Open your mind and read The Primal Blueprint by Mark Sisson. <br /> <br /> This book will change your life. No more calorie counting, never hungry, you get to eat all types of delicious foods (bacon anyone?) and perform more consistently on your day to day life (no mid-morning weird cravings).<br /> <br /> I do calisthenics 3 times a week and I get to eat as much as I want. Just taking care of a couple of factors will do wonders for your health (I count calories, but just because I acquired the habit previously and I kind of enjoy doing it).<br /> <br /> TL;DR:<br /> <br /> - No gluten. Low carb (no sugar or processed crap whatsoever)<br /> <br /> - Lots of veggies and real food (think about something that you could eat in nature&#039;s state without complicated processing)<br /> <br /> - Walk frequently<br /> <br /> - Intermittent Fast once in a while (I like the leangains approach, eating every day within an 8 hour window and fasting for the other 16)<br /> <br /> I was really sceptic when I first heard about this, after I used to believe the complete opposite to be healthy. However the arguments to support this theory are really solid in my humble opinion, and after trying it for a month, there was no turning back for me.<br /> <br /> I would give it a try.</div>

I did a blood sugar test and noticed it was quite high (although not quite Type 2 diabetic level) and by coincidence, the Blood Sugar Diet had just been released in the UK. <br /> <br /> This is very similar to a Paleo and Keto diet with low carbs, high protein and lots of vegetables, but you only eat about 800-1000 calories a day. I know this doesn&#039;t sound like much, but I&#039;m a 6&#039;2&quot; man and actually felt more energetic than I did before the diet (zero afternoon drowsiness). In terms of exercise, I bought a Fitbit and walked at least 10,000 steps every day, without fail.<br /> <br /> I did this for 8 weeks and stuck to it religiously with no processed or high GI foods at all and no added sugar. Result, I lost 36lbs in 8 weeks and my blood sugar dropped down to normal.<br /> <br /> Losing weight is very personal and a diet is only effective if you can stick to it, but for me, this was the easiest diet I&#039;ve ever followed and I&#039;ve stuck to a similar, albeit less strict, diet ever since and only put on a few pounds. <br /> <br /> Robert Lustig&#039;s Fat Chance is a good book to read and the book that got me onto the diet was The Blood Sugar Diet by Michael Mosley (UK) which is a short read and low price.<br /> <br /> Good luck to everyone trying to shift some weight.</div>

If you are a snacker or crave sweet things, you may be slightly hypoglycemic (which won&#039;t show up on medical tests). It&#039;s sort of a pre-cursor to diabetes. I am hypoglycemic, and after I figured this out, I eat according to the hypoglycemic diet found at <a href="http://www.fibromyalgiatreatment.com/hypoglycemia.html" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="noopener">Hypoglycemia</a>. <br /> After eating sweet things, bread, or rice, I would get very shaky if I didn&#039;t eat again soon. There&#039;s an assessment on that website from a doctor who has studied it (and lived it) for decades, as well as his grown children, and most of his patients. I recommend his diet for any hypoglycemics (only if his description of hypoglycemic symptoms describe you). The website is for fibromyalgia, but there is a high correlation to that with hypoglycemia. I followed this diet for 2 years without problem, ate a ton of food, lost then maintained a happy weight, and my cholesterol was for the first time in the normal range. Then I moved and took a job where I had to attend catered networking lunches (always with bread/pasta in the main dish!), and gained a lot of weight. I am now back on the hypoglycemic diet and never going back. If you are truly hypoglycemic and you follow this diet, you will feel sick for about 3 days, then you&#039;ll feel so much better that you never even want to cheat with sugar/carbs- it&#039;s just not worth it. If you aren&#039;t hypoglycemic, it would be hard to stay on it (you will need to cook- you can&#039;t even use pre-shredded cheese because it has potato starch to keep it from clumping). Restaurants can be difficult, but not impossible. It&#039;s similar to Atkins or a Keto diet, but not exactly. Many diabetics have gone on it, and were able to stop taking their medications. Since you&#039;ve been doing so much effort, I thought it might be worth it for you to look at the symptoms. Hope it helps you or someone else reading!</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">So much text... yet i wanted to drop some bullet points that helped me lose weight.<br /> <br /> - Stop eating / drinking sugar (corn syup, industrial fructose, galactose, glucose, maltose, sucrose).<br /> - The less processed your food the better. &quot;Quit eating industrial garbage&quot;. It matters where you get your energy from!<br /> - Instead of 3 big meals eat 5-6 small ones.<br /> - Eat more vegetables and fruits.<br /> - Eat less animal products (especially eggs, meat and diary).<br /> - Exercise often with 24-48 hours rest intervals and 8 hours of sleep.<br /> <br /> It&#039;s 80% food choices and 20% workout.<br /> <br /> I know most of this sucks, especially if you have food cravings. Start small, improve daily, make it a habbit, succeed.<br /> <br /> Good luck!</div>

 

[LittleWolfie]

<div class="bbWrapper">Drink more water( or cordial) nothing fizzy though. It is amazing how much this can change things and how little you need. I drank one pint of fluid before eating anything. Remember you should be drinking about 8 pints a day. If your not then your eating to get the water, which is a high calorie way of getting.<br /> <br /> Before breakfast, 1 pint of fruit juice, before lunch, 1 pint of tap water, before tea one pint of cordial. Want a pizza? Or a biscuit? Just drink one pint of a good fluid first. Both my sister and myself had great results. I always made sure I got a good breakfast as well(even if the other meals suffered) though all are best. Lots of fluid wait 15 mins then eat your meal/snack. 9/10 I didn&#039;t want it anymore. I got some pint glasses from Amazon since it made it easy to track. You can start by just taking your normal amount of fluids out of the pint glass and see how close you are. I was only taking in about 2 of the recommended 8. I never felt thirsty only hungry.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Start by waking up one hour earlier than you normally wake up. Go for a walk or run or some form of cardio for 30 minutes. This is really for general cardiovascular/heart health. It also burns some calories. <br /> <br /> Go through your refrigerator and cupboard/pantry/cabinets. Throw out any junk food. <br /> <br /> Go to your local grocery store. Shop around the perimeter of the store. This area contains the natural foods; Dairy, meat, produce etc. (Except the Donuts next to the produce. Forget about those. I know I&#039;m a hypocrite always buying produce and donuts/cookies. Goddamn placement next to produce) Eat meat, seafood, vegetables, nuts, seeds and oils. All natural whole-foods. No processed stuff. Ideally you want a protein, vegetable and complex carb(potato, brown rice etc) with each meal. Sorry but no fruit. Yes, they full of micronutrients(vitamins, minerals, phtyonutrients) but they&#039;re like candy when it comes to sugar. <br /> <br /> Pick 30 minutes - 2 hour window of the day. Use this time to lift weight or really any sort of resistance exercise. (bodyweight, calisthenics, weights etc) Ask a fellow gym goer for advice they will help you out. <br /> <br /> If you keep consistent with this, you will start seeing results about 3 months. After three months go to your local mall. Ask any female associate to help you out. They are more than willing to give you free style advice because they want to help good looking guys. <br /> <br /> Ask your barber or stylist to style your hair. <br /> <br /> Use meetup.com or google events in your local town/city. Go to these events and meet people. <br /> <br /> Go do some hobbies. Be them creative or social. <br /> <br /> Read books. 52 books in 52 weeks challenge. <br /> <br /> You can meet and talk to women anywhere. Your local coffee shop, bars, grocery stores, etc.</div>

If not here, then to himself. That would be a start.<br /> <br /> Aside from being very individual dependent, proper nutrition is still terra incognita to a large extent. Apart from several well established and proven truths ( like junk food isn&#039;t good for you) practically everything else seems prone to trends.<br /> <br /> Add biz interest into the mix and this is what you&#039;ve got - overall confusion plus more and more people with weight issues of various degrees, some of them doing their best, yet not succeeding.<br /> <br /> Short advice would be:<br /> 1. Learn about macronutrients and calories. Use some of these nutrition tracking apps, they&#039;ll teach you a lot in no time. Mine is nutritionix - can&#039;t post a link for some reason, but easy to Google. <br /> <br /> 2. Customize the heck of your weight loss plan. You need to do No 1 above first to be able to do this properly. Adjust your eating and exercise plan to your daily routine, work around it.<br /> <br /> 3. If you are the type who can keep consistently exercising alone, you don&#039;t need a gym. Let&#039;s face it - it&#039;s a massive loss of time (getting ready to go there, getting there and back). Youtube is your friend and for every expensive piece of equipment there&#039;s an alternative exercise for the same body part without it. I&#039;ve lost 35 lbs since NY without any gym and this is not the first time in my 53y old life.<br /> <br /> 4. Find a reasonable nutrition plan and customize it. Don&#039;t do anything extreme. Apart from good advice like don&#039;t forget to drink water and don&#039;t eat junk food, we hardly know anything else for sure at this point. Too much contradiction, like I said. Not going to extremes with anything (supplements, macronutrients, exclusion of all groups of food that is not junk) will help you, especially if you aren&#039;t rich. In short - eat what you can afford and give preference to seasonal and local. more than one reason for that.<br /> <br /> 5. Good luck</div>

Strength training helps you retain the muscle you have while eating a calorie deficit and losing weight. Second, it has a much greater level of excess post exercise oxygen consumption than aerobic exercise. to much cardio and you&#039;ll not only lose fat but muscle to unfortunately.<br /> <br /> Also diet is about 80% of the game so something might not be right there if your also drinking anything apart from water that is another reason why.<br /> <br /> Maybe provide us with some more information about what you do at the gym and what your diet consists of? how much sleep your getting etc?<br /> <br /> Provide as much information as you can everything.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">So ive been cutting weight recently for a tournament, and I came across this diet from an episode on Joe Rogan. I believe the book is called &quot;Fit for Life&quot;.

It pretty much consists of eating only fruit until noon, and then after that doesnt really matter. <br /> <br /> The results so far: I have had great stable energy throughout the day, No bloating, no headaches. <br /> and i have lost a bunch of weight. Granted I do workout and train alot, but with this combo I have been shredding lbs.</div>

I can say this for sure - because i did.<br /> <div class="bbMediaWrapper" data-media-site-id="youtube" data-media-key="g0UmVKA-4F8"> <div class="bbMediaWrapper-inner"> <iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/g0UmVKA-4F8?wmode=opaque" loading="lazy" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe> </div> </div><i><span style="font-size: 10px"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0UmVKA-4F8" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0UmVKA-4F8</a></span></i><br /> <br /> Notice how many servings of dairy, meat, oil and fish are in there? Exactly - None.<br /> <br /> If you want to go this route, you will have to supplement B12. Yes, it&#039;s necessary! B12 originates from bacterias. Humans don&#039;t have enough natural intake, animals don&#039;t have enough natural intake - which is why it&#039;s supplemented to animals too. Don&#039;t make a drama out of it - just skip the &quot;middle-animal&quot;. 1.000 IU (international units) of B12 every 2-3 days is more than enough. </div> <div class="bbCodeBlock-expandLink js-expandLink"><a role="button" tabindex="0">Click to expand...</a></div> </div> </blockquote>^^^^^<br /> This.<br /> <br /> Also, there are many plant-based meat/milk/fish replacements on the market, and though they do contain oil, they can help curb cravings for animal products. Add them to whole foods, and you&#039;ve got a healthy, tasty dinner.<br /> <br /> For example, my go-to dinner is rice and mixed veggies (I get a stir-fry mix and add tons more broccoli to it) topped with some sweet and sour porkless bites (I get the Gardein brand).<br /> <br /> Eating more Mexican dishes (using beef-less ground protein crumbles and cheese alternative, such as Daiya cheese) will help in getting enough beans. And adding black beans to a chocolate shake is an option. Here&#039;s my favorite black bean smoothie:<br /> <br /> <b>Black Bean Chocolate Smoothie<br /> </b><br /> INGREDIENTS:<br /> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">1 cup canned unsalted black beans, drained</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">1 ripe banana</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">1 frozen chopped banana</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">2 cups unsweetened soy milk – or any other dairy-free milk</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">1 tsp vanilla bean extract</li> </ul>Simply blend and you&#039;re all set. Note: This recipe can be adjusted. For example, I just dump a can of regular black beans in without draining it. Instead of a frozen banana, I just use two ripe bananas and add some ice cubes. And for the dairy-free milk, I prefer sweetened vanilla oat milk (I get the Pacific Foods brand).</div>
