Posted on 08/02/2017 4:15:58 PM PDT by Chickensoup

Lost 33 pounds and had a little more to go. Have been working with a local health and wellness program and monitored dieting.

Very happy and dropped two clothing sizes. Going to try to drop another size or two. I have decided to be a little too little than a little too big.

Using low to moderate calorie high protein, moderate fate low carb diet.

Your diet tips always welcome.

Losing weight is simple. You must burn off more than you consume. How you do that is the key and knowledge concerning that is also paramount. Lastly, discipline is the final parameter. Put them all together and you have lost weight. Sorry I was no help................

In early 2016 I went from 228 down to 152.

Now I cheated a little. This was after near terminal liver and kidney failure.

It took my 52 years but I proved that I could drink my liver into submission.

Still at 152 which was my deployment weight. Old jungle fatigues fir pretty well.

All I have to do is not eat a whole pig in one day.

That sounds like the Paleo Diet. Eating like the cave men did. It’s all the rage in some circles. Good luck.

Shark meat diet. Six pounds per week.

MREs during Army deployments. Eight pounds per week.

Really don’t care about fat.

To real men fat is an extremely efficient energy reserve. Been there, done that, know this.

While working as gate guard at a beach resort my job included only sitting. I gained thirty pounds in two years. When I gain weight over 150 pounds it all goes out in front of me whether I am inert or active. One day I realized I had to do something. I got myself moved to the overnight shift and started walking up thirteen floors of stairs up to a dozen times a night. I lost the belly in 5 months. That was 9 years ago and I am still at 151.

I’m still having too many intimate dinners for two, with just me showing up. When I do diet, I go low carb, but not too low.

Congrats! I’m 62 and have lost about 90 lbs. over the past 3 years. I have almost reached my goal (another 5-10 lbs.). I limit carbs 6 days of the week (usually less than about 50 g/day), and no wheat (except on cheat day), no high fructose corn syrup or other added sugars, and I work out 3 times a week for about 20 minutes. (My diet is a little unusual because I have somewhat contradictory things to consider: IBS, arthritis, etc.)

I’ve gradually added intermittent fasting into the picture over the past 6 months, and my metabolism really seems to be responding to it. This translates into no food after dinner one evening and not eating again until midday after a workout, so maybe 16-18 hours of fast. I expect I will be able to add more carbs before much longer. (I try to get the majority of carbs from things like quinoa, sweet potatoes, brown rice, beans, barley—the more complex the better.)

Take some advice-get a handle on this while you are still young because it gets a LOT tougher when you get to be my age. I have a pretty stern guy for an MD, and he recently he told me he was extremely proud of me after my physical last week. My wife and I are on vacation for a week, so all bets are off as far as diet is concerned. Then it’s back to the grindstone!

I am eating a fair amount of kimchee, my new favorite food.

It cuts my need for something savory.

Similar secret to x1stcav.

Cancer.

Papillary thyroid cancer, about the best kind you can get. But the real secret is now that I have no thyroid doctors will once again prescribe thyroid hormones.

The only time in my life I wasn’t obese was when I was 10 and on thyroid medicine. We moved and after that and every subsequent move we tried to get a Dr., any Dr. to give me thyroid medicine.

Nope. They’d rather treat the lab results than the patient.

Now my endocrinologist has to give me medication...
