Love threads like this! Keep working at it - you’re doing something that is truly life changing in the best kind of way.

Thoughts on taking the next step - imo.

*Weigh yourself daily - get a good trend over weeks and months. Don’t let day to day or even week to week swings slow your momentum down. You’re knocking out the “low hanging fruit” and losing weight will be easy at your current weight. It will slow down and that’s ok. Trend it.

*Take pictures monthly - as stated above the dopamine hits of weight loss will go away. Take pictures because your body type will start changing as you build muscle, but the scale may trend flat.

*Eat more protein - .8 to 1g per pound of your desired weight. I used a simple rule to look at labels and decide if that food is worth me eating. For every 100 calories is there 10g of protein. 2000 calories - 200g of protein. Grab a bag of pasta serving size 200 calories and 6g of protein - it’s a no go, I’ll never hit my protein goals eating this. There’s an exception to this - fruits and veggies. I eat them as much and as often as I want.

*Eat all the *fresh fruits and vegetables you want. No processed or canned stuff (added sugar)

*Track calories - do it. This will show you more than anything the importance on food choice. After a couple weeks it’ll take next to no time tracking - and you’ll know without doubt why you are or aren’t seeing results. Tracking gave me more freedom and less chance of just giving up on my good eating habits because of 1 or 4 bad days. For example I eat pizza last week, and I knew I was going to. I went light on lunch and gave myself a 1000ish calorie cushion to absorb that dinner. I ate like 1800 calories of pizza. Yep - it was awesome and I overate my *target calories for the day. This took me from cutting 400 calories for the day to a surplus of 400, and it’s ok…. I had extra energy the next day to hit the weights and got a solid workout with added volume for all my lifts. A lot of people will give up after binge eating for a couple days. Track it. Then get back on the plan. All is not lost.

To me incorporating these things will take you from another fad diet fling to building a healthy lifestyle.


Edit to add one more important point.

*Track and progressively overload your lifts- it is very easy to underestimate your reps in reserve and get into the habit of pushing the same weight on bench press for example week after week. If you track, you can add a rep or 5 lbs or even a set. Don’t do cheat reps though. Good form - nice and controlled

Apps I like - MacroFactor for food tracking. Push for workout tracking

There are many apps that will help you track. These are the ones I like

How do you guys give up fruit and feel good about it? I mean vegetables kinda suck taste wise, so I get how we can stop eating those (but they are just straight up good for you to eat). But cutting out fruits??? For 100 calories I can eat half a pound of pineapple that’s tastes better than any candy, and it’s packed with vitamins and minerals.

Keto does some good by eliminating carbs, because now you can’t eat hardly any junk food. But it’s like throwing the baby out with the bath water when you decide to cut out probably the healthiest categories of food.

Do keto but eat fruits and veggies. You’ll get more fiber and live longer (imo).

Stealth Health, Exercise for cheat meals (e4cm) or other recipes on youtube.

A couple very low calorie sauces have made cutting alot easier.

The most filling meal I've found is lean ground meat with taco seasoning. Low fat cheese and some guac over a low carb tortilla. Throw some homemade low cal chipotle sauce (10 calories), and I've got a burrito that runs ~ 400 calories with 40 grams of protein. Tastes great, solid macros, fills me up 10/10
