I'm super late to the thread and I'm sure it has been discussed but what are some good diet and exercise plans people here have found to be effective?

---

no alcohol, no cheese, no sodas, no bread, no white rice, no pasta + run 3 miles every other day

you'll drop weight right quick

313/235.2/210

Yesterday's weigh in was 232. Apparently I've grown another food baby. I'm pretty sure the chicken soup my wife made for dinner didn't cause me to gain 3 pounds.

Back to the gym today after taking a couple of weeks off.

Basically starting with what Hulk said, eat less than you burn. It took me a few years to figure out what works best for me and my body.
As far as diet, I eat a ton of chicken breast, Tuna, and Salmon. Lots of lean proteins. Figure out your lean body mass and try to at least a gram of protein per pound of that. It'll be tough, but if you do it while staying clean. You'll drop weight. Very little carbs ie: no rice, noodles, beer, and the what not. And eat a ton of greens.
If you have a sweet tooth, Quest bars are a great substitute. Cookie dough flavor
Or I usually take plain greek yogurt and mix in a half scoop or so of protein powder.
There are a ton of great recipe sites out there. I used these 3 the most:
www.epicurreanbb.com
www.rippedrecipes.com
and search for the Protein Chef on Youtube. He's got some good stuff too.

I lift pretty much everyday. Heavy and hard. Very very little cardio considering it's basically a cardio workout while I lift. I try to get one good run in a week but it doesn't always happen.

Just test out some things and see how your body reacts.
Good luck

The combination of those two and constantly entertaining for work is what caused me to go from 160 to 180

Be glad you're doing this now and not later. I'm 6'2 but regardless of height, 360 pounds is a fat frick. It sure has been a learning experience. Good to have you on board

I know what you mean, but no you definitely shouldn't laugh at them. Every man's struggle is his own. Just because they don't know what it's like to struggle through fighting obesity doesn't mean they don't know the struggle of weight loss.

1st ever keto weightlifting session - not very successful. Hopefully I just need to give myself more time to get adjusted to ketosis. Halfway through I had to stop and take a 10min break, I was on the verge of hurling. No longevity whatsoever, not like I've been used to with carbs... even with a pre-workout. I did 3x10 squats and felt totally winded after, but pushed through and did 3x10 bench and 3x10 rows. Completely bonked at that point. Tried to get on the treadmill to at least get some extra workout in, 5 minutes in I got on the verge of hurling again. I didn't scale back the weight I was lifting; may need to do that for a week or two until my body is used to ketosis.

a few hours prior to workout I had 6oz chicken breast cooked in coconut oil, cooked down half an onion and some mushrooms. This morning I had a half an avocado and that made me sick to my stomach, starting to think I'm allergic to them. I can't eat it without getting sick.

May just need to give it a little time. It's been about a year and a half since I did a hard keto.

I didn't feel like I overate.

Hulk, it's probably just your body not used to the switch. Or you could be allergic or have something against avocados. How many grams of protein are you getting in? I seriously ramped up my protein intake to keep my energy when I did PSMF and took out all carbs.
