A decade ago I lost 45 pounds in 2 months. It's fluctuated slowly up and I'm nearly where I was then. So thanks for the post, I think it's time to do another round.

My favorite meal back then was:

3 fried eggs topped with
a little garlic spaghetti sauce (maybe 1 g carb)
chorizo
cheddar cheese
cilantro
a little chopped onion (maybe 1 g carb)

My kind of diet. And Diet Coke was OK for me, apparently it's not for some people.

I'll probably get dv'ed like a mofo, but acupuncture can assist with sugar cravings like you wouldn't believe.

Keto diet is fantastic. Give yourself 6 days on, one day off.

Start putting away some money now to buy new clothes, because if you do keto right, you're going to be losing pounds and losing pounds immediately.

Have been doing lazy keto for 2.5 years now. My blood work, weight, etc were even better than over 10 years ago. The /keto subreddit is great site for support and information.

My advice to you during the starting phase is don't worry about calories or exercising for now. Just concentrate on sticking to the diet (especially the >20g carbs). When you inevitably plateau, start looking at calories. If you plateau again, initiate intermittent fasting (i.e. skipping breakfast). Then consider adding exercise or zero carb.

Good luck!

I'm doing it now. It's really great. I love the food I get to eat and I feel so much better than eating junk.

Bacon
Eggs
Pork chops
Steaks
Nom Nom Nom

Sounds like a good game plan. Once you cut out the sugar and processed crap, your body will stop craving it. I live a relatively Paleo lifestyle - it's been life changing. Be sure to cook things you enjoy eating, and don't be afraid to try some new ideas. Good luck!

I started it, don't know how much weight I have lost, but it's pretty damn noticeable. Everyone comments on it. I had to punch a new hole in my belt or my pants just fall rt off.

I used to work out a bunch and eat whatever I want, now I barely work out and diet and have lost more weight in less time.


Just got to cut out carbs. Was easy to pin point for me where all my carbs were coming from. Sodas, beer and cereal. Don't touch any of that now and in about three months I have no beer gut anymore and have moved 3 notches over on my belt.

What's disagreeable about that menu? Sounds like you have a problem with real food, fatty.

Try vegetarian for a while, easiest diet ive ever tried. Mainly because you can't ruin your entire day or week with a couple of bites. And you will stay full with no portion limits.

Starting back tomorrow too.

Bacon instead of avocado in am. Ear avocado later in day.

And you need a lot more fat throughout the day than what you have posted.

What's the verdict on coffee consumption? I pretty much can't make it through the day without 3+ cups.

can first hand attest to reducing hidden sugars and high calorie low nutrient processed grains for weight loss. replace these with all the healthy fats and non starch veggies you want. Problems with the diet you listed - don't ever throw away egg yokes, that is the best part, just get the pastured eggs, not raised in a dark factory Tyson building. And lose the gd obsession with chicken breasts, eat the whole fricken chicken, in fact dark meat may be more nutritious, just don't eat chicken raised in a factory with Tyson on the side of the building where they sweep the dead ones out daily. Also wrong, 'lean' meat, don't be proud of this, nothing wrong with fatty meat if its healthy animal. Also wrong, stop counting calories, it is proven now its not how many but where they come from, it turns out fat calories do not get stored as fat. Fat helps your body burn fat, sugar and carbs get stored as fat not fat. Fat does not trigger insulin. Fat also triggers leptin which is the hormone that says you are full. Just make sure the fats are healthy fats not trans fat and not cheap seed oils like soybean, canola, and corn. What I mean by hidden sugar is the one 'they' slip into processed foods to make them taste better because they removed the fat. Sugar naturally occurring in whole foods is ok. Another trick, eat organic as much as possible, this will ensure that your exposure to gmo's is minimal which contain 'glyphosate' which years from now will go down in history as a nutritional holocaust on the American people. thanks and have a nice day.
