Sick of being Fat

[Elite]

I've noticed it's a lot harder to lose/maintain weight since I hit my mid-thirties. Banged on a stone within the last year.

I've been using Huel and calorie counting. Down 8lbs in 3 weeks. Keto is too strict for me, I need carbs!

It’s certainly no fun.

What do people make of this new injection for fatties? Some appetite suppressant or something.  Going on sale next month.

There is a very simple and highly proven way to lose weight.

 

Eat less - move more.

 

Be in a sustained caloric deficit and you will absolutely 100% lose weight.

 

And the great thing is it only needs to be 1 or 2 lbs a week, which is easy to achieve.

 

In just 12 weeks you can see huge changes.

 

There is so much bullshit written and so many bullshit videos etc about weight loss when it is all just about calories in and calories out....use up more than you eat and you lose weight.

Fair play Rico, that's brilliant going.

 

Gonna use Lent as a timetable for me, even though it's already started!

Starting Monday, gonna give the carnivore diet a try.

The food won't be an issue I don't think. It's the giving up Coke Zero that I see being the problem.

 

But we'll see what happens.

Huel Is great. The meal replacement shakes are really nice especially the coffee caramel one and I actually look forward to them. The food isn't too bad either, I'm nearly a stone lighter now and Huel has been massive help.

2 fried eggs and 2 sausage for breakfast. 
 

No lunch 

 

Tea of chicken, salmon or beef with veg. Loads or herbs and sauces for the meat/chicken.  
 

No fun but effective.

Do M&S still do that Keto pizza?

 

The base was a big sausage pattie (Like the MvMuffins) with cheese and toppings.

I also got those piss sticks to show I was in ketosis. It’s kind of motivating to see the stick go purple.

Ozempic? I'm on that because of all the steroids prescribed. It's "there was an old woman who swallowed a fly" medical treatment at its finest.

2,000 calories a day worth of food which when eat healthy whole foods can be a lot of scran.

 

Burn 3,000 calories a day by getting in a minimum of 10,000 steps a day via normal walking around etc and add in between 30 mins and 1 hour a day of intense exercise....running or another form of steady state or high intensity cardio 3 days a week, resistance training 3 days a week.

 

You'll lose 2lbs a week (a good rate to ensure don't lose lean muscle mass) and can eat 3 good sized square meals a day and the odd treat (important for the mind not to feel too restricted) ensure get a gram of protein for every pound of goal body weight per day.

 

Sorted.

 

I went from 17st and pretty unfit to 12st and able to run a marathon doing just that.

As i say your choice.. i just know from experience that really restrictive, not fun (your words) diets tend to lead to rapid weight loss but also often lead to that weight going back pretty quickly and often more.

 

I hope for you that is not case - but to sniff at a pretty sensible plan as you did seemed a bit off to me.

 

Maybe i was over sensitive - but good luck anyway.
