The key (IMHO) to successful and long-term weight loss is changing your eating habits permanently, and Adkins doesn't really lend itself to this. I would recommend first and foremost starting to track everything you eat. I use this site: http://tracker.dailyburn.com It has an easy to use and comprehensive food database for logging food. Most people have no idea what they really eat every day and would be surprised if they accurately logged it. We're talking every M&M, beer, etc. Kettle-bells are great tools for exercise, but I'm of the opinion that when it comes to weight loss, however you burn calories is fine. In the end, it's a simple math equation - you need to burn more calories every day than you consume. No matter how hard you train, you can't out train a bad diet. Diet is first and foremost the single most important thing when it comes to weight loss and maintaining a healthy weight. hxtr and billyblade 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recommend it at all. You can eat lots but that is opposite what I was needing to do. I was just in the process of loosing weight until 2 weeks ago due to a few distractions and changes. I had started a month and a half ago and I was 165 then dropped to 162 in then 160, 158 160 , 158, down all the way to 154 to 152ish with changes in my eating habits. I was getting some exercise but I have done it with little exercise but I had to change habits. 2 weeks ago my transition got interrupted and Im back to 160 because I started eating more than I needed. I have slacked off in amount of food I intake so getting back on track with that but it takes time. You asking this question will get me thinking in the right direction because for me it is a transition. No way I can due it all at once. I need one step at a time and I adapt. So.. i trade habits at times or convert ones. I have a medium metabolism depending habits. Some meds have given me a super slow metabolism. Took 40lbs to figure that one out. One I traded up Beer for Bourbon. Then Bourbon and coke to Bourbon and water with Lemon juice in it, tastes like lemon bourbon. Beer gets expensive and a half lasts me 4 days or more where 18 pack lasts 2 nights or less. That there helps but best really to ditch the alcohol but fuck that. I can care less about cookies, cake, candy and all other. Sweets I no longer desire. I is something I just blocked over time.. yes I know they are good but I would rather eat a nice mash potato, corn, carrots, green beans, steack fried chicken, meat loaf, pizza, hamburger, fries, tatertots, onion rings, fish, pork than any fucking ice cream, cake, cookie candy or other. Then I get the amount I eat down like less food during day. To me breakfast is the best meal of the day so I at time may grab an egg if hungry or something light. But I eat late at night most of the time so my meal is probagly not fully digested so in my mind, i don't need breakfast. I sleep great when I get full. It has gotten down for me to have one meal and snacks a little in between but only certain things and i was always exploring for new things to keep it interesting. Carrots with ranch to me is great for you. Well the carrots are... lol. It works great, you shit more because of the high fiber helping you get rid of all that waste and toxins so you system works smother. You will loss weight just in shit if you eat enough fiber. I am not a health nut. Cant afford to be one... but if you add fiber in your diet and keep it consistent, your system will get used to it and you become regular as all get out. Some cereals are a great snack for that as well. I like cereals, just ones low in sugar and high in fiber makes for great snacks. True Valley granola bars are great source. Celery is great also.. put a bit of peanut butter, just not for me..... stops me up. But my main meal I eat good, I eat what I want. I dont force 3 plates of Chinese buffy down, just 2 and 1/2 plates and some soup and salad. lol Most of the I eat late like I said or snack on carrots if needed. On a calories scale which Im looking into more as I pay attention to what I eat.. 2000 calories is easy to achieve but I dont think that is as important as the sugars and amount of food during the day or what type of food. Lunch is a killer for me. If I get in the habit of lunch... I fuck myself. Im going to eat dinner then probably be hungry for breakfast. When working in the Heat the worst thing you can do is eat lunch. You body is to busy digesting food to keep you warm. Now... Im single, I dont have a wife telling me it is time for dinner. I dont have kids that need to be fed lunch breakfast and all other so I have all kinds of flexibility. But if the spouse is on board it can so happen. I love veggies, and if you do them right you can pig out on them and feel good about yourself. Same with some meats, i can kill a chicken... i dont feel guilty about that. Give me a cake and have me eat it in 2 days... i will feel guilty for a week. lol Thanks for asking... im getting motivated again. I just want to get down to 240 maybe 235.

I quickly dropped about 25 pounds. I was actually losing too much too fast so my dietician added fat back into my diet. It sped up my metabolism so much that I was eating more than most large men at a buffet and still maintaining my weight. After about 10 years of no longer being on the diet, my metabolism finally caught up with me unfortunately and I should consider going back on the diet again.

Multiple small meals/protein shakes instead of three main meals and plenty of exercise is the proven method, and I was able to drop 25lbs on my last deployment in less than 3 months.

They are somewhat similar. But on a Paleo diet you are typically eating a balanced meal - not necessarily one that is 50% or more protein-based. I liken the Paleo diet to the "God Diet" (as some call it) - basically you only eat whole foods (and by that I don't mean a whole grain bread), so as a result - no processed foods at all. No dairy in a true Paleo diet (eggs notwithstanding). Basically berries, most nuts, meats, and vegetables. But not all vegetables are considered Paleo. Loader - I saw a movie awhile back where I think the guy who made it had the same thing going on as you. The movie is called "Fat, Sick, & Nearly Dead" - you may want to check it out. Oh and Loader - BBQ sauce and all that kind of stuff probably has high fructose corn syrup in it - and if I were in a position where diet was causing some kind of disorder like you describe, the first thing I'd do is eliminate all processed crap like HFCS.

Personally, I have always found this stuff revolting - it smells and tastes like swimming pool water and the odour of it makes me nauseous.

Once i started checking sodium, staying away from processed crap and taking it easy on the candy and cookies i have maintained and slowly started to lose.

Eating more often keeps the system processing and helps you stay satisfied. Eating one or two larger meals a day overloads the system contributing to weight gain. Makes sense to me. I am guilty of larger meals, I only eat Breakfast and Dinner. I am not a midday snacker either, but I do not eat healthy food. Fish and Veggies never see my plate. The Kettlebells having been getting very good reviews. I am considering a set myself. Damage_inc- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this true? A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it, don't waste them away on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap. Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables? A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable slop. Q: Is beer or wine bad for me? A: Look, it goes to the earlier point about fruits and vegetables. As we all know, scientists divide everything in the world into three categories: animal, mineral, and vegetable. We all know that beer and wine are not animal, and they are not on the periodic table of elements, so that only leaves one thing, right? My advice: Have a burger and a beer and enjoy your liquid vegetables. Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio? A: Well, if you have a body, and you have body fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc. Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program? A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain………Good! Q: If I stop smoking, will I live longer? A: Nope. Smoking is a sign of individual expression and peace of mind. If you stop, you'll probably stress yourself to death in record time. Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you? A: You're not listening. Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you? Q: What's the secret to healthy eating? A: Thicker gravy. Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle? A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach. I hope this column has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about eating and exercising.
