I was 255 to 260 lbs. Now down to 195. Things that I have learned:
- it took years to put the weight on, it will take at least months, if not years to take it off
- you can’t out exercise your fork
- walking seems to beat just about every other form of exercise
- Sugar is the enemy and it is hiding behind every soda can, sauce, or processed food. Read the label
- Stair step your loss downward. Lose 10 to 15 lbs and then stabilize at the new weight. Lose 10 to 15 more and stabilize again, repeat as often as necessary.
- Most weight loss food is not
Sad thing is, I am not overweight, which is why I ignored my tiredness. ‘Thin on the outside, fat on the inside’! They put me on drastic (to me) Clean Diet so my eating is better. Doc said when it gets too hot outside, I should do the bike.
I agree with all of that AND a protien diet
STOP EATING BREAD AND ANY WHEAT for a month and see if that helps you - it helped me tremendousy
The secret to eating right is good shopping
Eggs, Milk, Cheese, Meats, Fresh Fruits and vegetables. Don;t buy anything else. Get rid of anything you have that is NOT one of those things.
It may sound counter-intuitive, but it is cheaper to eat good foods. A steak may cost more than baloney on bread, but you are less hungry. I sometimes go all day without eating because I had a lot of protein the day before so I am not hungry and I forget.
it this for a months and you will lose weight
breakfast - any type of eggs, orange juice, no toast
lunch - banana and milk, or soup and vegetable (no noodles)
dinner - a piece of steak, chicken, or fish, mashed potatoes or rice, a vegetable - no noodles or bread.
snacks (any time)- pieces of pepperoni and cheddar cheese.
