Honestly, start with cutting out junk food and reduce your sugar intake. If you can also avoid making certain things easily accessible, that goes a long way. Really, the biggest thing is developing proper eating habits which means not eating directly from the packaging, eating to fullness, and make a journal as to what might be causing you to overeating. As you feeling anxious? Could be the fear of your food being stolen. Are you feeling guilt? Could be one of the millions of "clean your plate" kids. Whatever you feel, understand that it's a natural feeling; your brain developed for a world that didn't have highly-choleric food literally 10ft away from you. Starting with understanding with the why and then look at the what.
Get rid of as many carbs in your life as possible.
I've been using myfitnesspal to calculate the amount of calories I should consume per day, and the amount of calories/fat/sugar etc I eat up per meal.
It all depends on your starting/ideal weight to height/fat composition etc. And how strict/what sort of diet you are going to maintain.
Yeah I noticed, was really surprised about those 3 kilos vanishing like that.
being cold makes you spend more energy, but you'll also want to eat more as your body will try to restore the status quo. So expect no magic. A small extra snack puts you back into balance.
My first meal of the day is lunch at 12:00. Before that all I have is coffee. There’s some evidence of purported health benefits of fasting like that but to be honest cutting out a meal is a good way of keeping your daily calories low. I know a guy who’s well into it and goes for 4-5 days only drinking coffee but he’s Muslim so he’s used to fasting. I’ve tried before but felt awful so intermittent fasting works better for me.
Not eating for 40 days would absolutely require medical intervention to do. Missing a day here or there works great tho. I skipped 7 in a row in March and came out of that feeling 10 years younger. Autophagy is very real.
As someone who used to bike 20-30 miles daily, with 60-100 mile stints on weekends to stay in shape, in addition to 3x/week str training, don't kick yourself too hard. It's easy to maintain a healthy BMI when you're active 1/4-1/3rd of your waking hours. Now that I sit behind a desk 10 hours a day, it's pretty depressing having gone from peak fitness, where people thought I was an athlete, to a tubby fat ass.I've been on a weight loss stint since the middle of June and have wanted to talk about it here, but I've refrained because it involves Ozempic and people think you are a faggot for using it. But I was at my heaviest I've ever been at my life at 258lbs due to eating shit food for comfort after a divorce. Me being twenty-six years old at this weight sucks cause you start having problems that only old people should be dealing with. So I said fuck it and start Ozempic.
This last Saturday (Sept 21) I've weighted in at 206lbs. My goal is to hit 170lbs. I pretty much have stopped eating sweets of any kind, stopped eating carbs (I only eat bread if I'm visiting fam and they serve it with dinner), and stopped drinking anything with caffeine. The Ozempic definitely helps but the first month on it wasn't fun because the nausea is there almost constantly but goes away during the second month.
I know I'm a homofaggot for taking this stuff but it's really helped me and the weight loss has made me a happier man. Trying on old clothes that fit you again is the best feeling
