Sorry if this has been posted before.

I’ve always been a bigger fella and always considered myself in OK shape, especially for my weight. Anybody got a 300 lb fat friend who can outrun a bunch of smaller guys? That’s me. I weight lift, maybe hit a couple miles on a bike here and there.

Anyways, lately with work, I’ve been feeling extra drained due to excessive amounts of overtime. Well, I had 12 days off for a vacation and I still couldn’t shake the exhausted feeling. I think it’s time I start taking on a healthier lifestyle.

Working days/nights shift work doesn’t help my eating habits either. 95% of the time, I skip breakfast, even on off days, and sometimes won’t eat until the evening because I get distracted working around the house and whatnot. Then when I do eat, I fricking eat! I’m sure that’s part of the problem, eating a lot later in the day, but I’ve never even attempted to get on a meal schedule of any type.

I absolutely hate shopping, so me grocery shopping usually consists of me walking down every food isle, throwing in a few cases of water and a couple food items that don’t go together, then leaving because I can’t decide on shite.

My wife is the same way, a lot of times I’ll stop after work and pick up supper items because we JUST figured out what we’re eating.

Is there any type of program that gives you a shopping list? I’m at the point that I’m willing to pay for someone to tell me what to buy

Really though, I’m in a bind guys. Point me in the right direction

Here you go. I cook my turkey burger, chicken, eggs and sweet potatoes in bulk, makes it much easier to prepare your meals. Good luck!

You may want to look into intermittent fasting (start at 18:6 and work up to 20:4, then OMAD if you are balls out committed).

Combine with clean low carb, or keto if you are hard core.

A combo of these two will be the fastest and easiest (once you get through the first week) way to lose 50-100 pounds in the next 3-6 months.

Best advice i can give when grocery shopping healthy, is to try to not shop down the aisles. most of the packaged crap is garbage. Shop on the edges of the store. the only stuff i really buy in the aisles is like rice or oatmeal.

I've never seen a 300lb person that was in shape. I would try to focus on cardio and losing the weight first. I'm sure your heart and joints would appreciate it if you lost the weight even more. No way you're keeping pace running with smaller guys.
