      M L intermittent fasting! I try to eat smaller meals between 12 PM and 8 PM. Started to introduce more veggies in my diet. I cut out the sugars and sodas my first month and dropped 10 lbs. the hardest part getting started was training my stomach to stop being so reliant on carbs and sugars. Once I got past that it became a lot easier!

    I’ve been 348 pounds for about a year now. Used to be able to eat 5 jack in the box entrees just for dinner alone plus whatever I would have for lunch and breakfast and snacking constantly. Back in April starting on the 12th I started making changes to my diet including spiralized vegetables in place of pasta and cauliflower rice in place of regular rice in addition to cutting out most bread and lactose and cutting down a lot on sugar plus I drink acv every day. Today I weighed in at 301 pounds. My goal was to get below 300 by September 20th(beginning of fall). Thanks to these simple changes and now only eating 1-2 meals a day, I am less hungry, have created a caloric deficit, exercise daily, and I will be shattering my goal by almost a month. After I get below 300, my new goal will be 275 by the end of the year.

    I struggled with weight growing up, I drank a lot of soda, I weighed 215 in 8th grade, was 6 foot 2+ but, when I got to be an adult I got in great shape. Last year in December I went to the doctor, I weighed 300 pounds. I couldn't believe it, the most shocking part was that the doctor was obese himself and didn't even mention it. I knew then I had to do something. But I continued to do the same things I had been doing. I was speaking to a coworker one day and said, yeah, I eat horrible food every day and it makes me feel like sh!t, it made me open my eyes seriously. I took a long look in the mirror, lost 100 pounds and feel like I'm in my twenties again. I have a toddler, and want to set the best example I can. Another thing that helped was coaching my son's tee-ball team. Those kids 3-4 year olds, didn't care about baseball, didn't even know what it was, but every day we played or practiced, they tried their hardest. I said why don't I do that? Anyway, as you can probably imagine, my life has improved, my relationship with my significant other has improved, I'm a better parent, worker, and person. Diet really matters.

      Yeah just means you have more work to do. The amount of calories someone needs to sustain their body mass can vary up to 30% by person. That's huge. I'm average size and my body runs on about 1600 kcal. Gotta go to around 1400 to start loosing weight. Meanwhile by every account I should be having a 400 calorie deficit at 1600 but nope. Just gotta work extra hard. And building muscle mass helps burn more at rest.

      For me and many many thousands of others, eating once a day or eating in a small window of time has had the same effect. It is not wrong, and I am not saying eating many times a day is wrong. Although eating many times a day spikes your insulin many times a day which makes it harder to lose weight for many many people. I broke my back and gained tons of weight because of the inactivity. Went to intermittent fasting and cut way back on carbs and lost over 40 pounds while recovering and with zero exercise. Lost even more now that I can move. So there are many ways to lose weight and the intermittent fasting is just one large very proven method that works. It is just as important what you eat as to when you eat. 2,000 calories of high carbs can slam the weight on you much faster than 2,000 calories of healthy fats and low carbs. Calories are not all alike.

      I'm a medical student who recently learned about everything he just talked about. The thing I've realized as a medical student is you don't need to be a medical student to understand this stuff (at least with wikipedia on hand). Just need to sit down (with some good learning material...like my favorite go to source, wikipedia) and work it out. I used to be critical of morbidly obese people, but now I am starting to realize staying a healthy weight and body composition is much more difficult for some people
      They didn't go into how our brains are wired. In our hypothalamus we have what is called the lateral nucleus that makes us hungry and the ventromedial nucleus which makes us not hungry. If either one of those is destroyed (as happens sometimes in a stroke) the affected individual will feel either extreme hunger or no hunger at all. These nuclei are in turn stimulated or inhibited by ghrelin (makes you hungry) and leptin (makes you full). No person's brain is the same, so it's a given people will differ in how much hunger they feel. I for example AM ALWAYS HUNGRY. Two of my uncles were morbidly obese and died from that (one at 48 yrs and the other at 55 yrs). Most of my family members are obese. I used to be obese. I had grown up with all this bullshit advice that "you need to eat breakfast to be healthy" and eat well so your brain can function. Bullshit. Out brains do just fine using ketone bodies (from fat) instead of glucose (sugar) for energy (unless we are diabetic (don't produce enough/any insulin) as explained in the youtube clip).
      Anyways, I lost 40 pounds in a year and now my BMI is 24 (down from 30) and am very healthy. However I am ALWAYS HUNGRY. I can eat two gallons of ice cream in a day and still be hungry. How did I bring my weight to a healthy weight? =>By restricting my calorie intake through intermittent fasting (I eat 1-2 times a day and sometimes don't eat at all some days). Does that mean I am not hungry? No, far from it. So please, if its not hard for you to keep off weight don't judge those who do struggle. It may be a 100x harder for them to not eat. That said, if you are like me (always hungry) accept that you have to have some mild hunger most of the time in order to not become obese. Nothing is wrong with you, it's just that your ancestors must have evolved an overactive lateral nucleus in your hypothalamus in order to not have starved to death (hunger can be a powerful motivator in pushing a person or animal to get food). That's my theory anyway.

    I remember working security with this guy who was about 430. He was dispatch and would drink a 2liter coke, eat lunch and snacks throughout the shift. He got a crush on a co-worker and she worked out with and coached him through it. Dude is now 180 and stuck in the friend zone but damn what a journey. He said for lunch he would go to White Castle and get a 10pc Moz sticks. 4 burgers,fries and drink. When he started counting calories he had no idea that one meal was almost his daily intake. The 10pc alone was over 1000 calories. I need to step up myself I'm close to 300 now. I should probably give him a call.

When you go to McDonalds one burger is or above 1000 calories. Then you eat a second and fries and a coke. That shit adds up. Lastly when you eat healthier you feel better. I used to feel sluggish after I ate. I was constantly napping after meals. Not anymore. Also don’t eat past like 7:30 - 8 if you can.

He was asking his clients if they were willing to change their eating habits by eating cleaner and healthier and in the beginning, even go with stricter diet. If they weren’t willing to change their diet, he wasn’t accepting those customers, even if they wanted to pay a lot of money. He knew how important of a role the food played in achieving results.

I started seeing spots and I had to take a breather. I am supposed to be the example and I was being weak. so I finally bought a scale and every day I jogged as far as I could and walk back. I only drank water and only ate once my stomach really growled. it's been about 5 months and I'm down to 246 lbs. it was hard and my shins hurt and my stomach never growled much but It's been progress. I do feel better and stairs don't scare me as they used to but the reason I did it was so I could keep being the funny big brother and not the dead big brother in 15,10 or 5 years.

      Read Dr.Atkins book titled Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution. He explains ketosis and low carb dieting very thoroughly in this book, it's so easy to understand. Its the book my dad followed to loose 275 lb in a year and 2 months. He kept with low carb eating, he ate all the meat and fat he wanted and got healthy. He started with zero carbs and no caffeine for a week to get the body into the state of ketosis. He used Keto Sticks they are urine test strips. After the first week he gradually added more carbs but not exceeding 40 grams of carbs per day through out his weight loss journey. If the body is in the state of ketosis it can not store fat it can only shed fat and other toxic weight so he ate all the fat and calories he wanted to keep himself satisfied while ketosing. There is no need to count calories as long as you are keeping your carb intake low enough to keep you ketosing. Forty grams of carbs per day is a recommended limit to keep the body in the state of ketosis. If you have a cheat day or cheat meal your body may stop ketosing because of overconsumption of carbs so all you have to do after a cheat day is start over by eating zero carbs and no caffeine for a week to get yourself back into a nice deep ketosis. Caffeine spikes insulin thus slowing weighloss so some people restrict it completely even after the first week to avoid slowed weightloss. Eating fat , especially rich animal fats , while ketosing causes the body to ketose more heavily, provides energy, satisfies appetite healthily, lubricates intestines , eyes and skin and is crucial for organ function including the brain. Animal meats should not be restricted either they are too important for replenishing the muscles and organs. Also, no colon cleansers are needed on a diet that causes the body to ketose, in fact it can be detrimental. I made that mistake and almost killed my kidneys it hurt so bad so I quit colon cleansers while keto dieting and I felt so much better. Ketosis causes the body to naturally cleanse itself including the colon. The body works hard enough while ketosing to shed weight on its own. There are veggies allowed in the first week about 1 cup per day they are practically zero carb. They are listed in Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution book. He also wrote a book giving carb count content of many foods to help you stay on track. I've read both of these books. Keto Sticks are urine test strips. Test every day. If your test shows pink/purple color it means you're ketosing. The darker the pink/purple color means the heavier you're ketosing meaning the faster you are loosing weight. If your test shows no pink/purple color it means you are not ketosing not loosing weight but gaining weight so you have to keep eating zero carbs and no caffeine until pink/purple color shows on your test. Eating practically zero carbs for a week should get your body into deep ketosis. Sorry to repeat myself but I hope this info helps people loose weight fast like my dad did. I don't rely on the Atkins foods for weightloss though because I don't like the sweeteners and other ingredients in alot of them. I mostly eat meat, fat, low carb veggies and low carb fruit ,nuts not so many cashews, unlimited butter, full fat sour cream and mayo. I pray you understand it completely in Jesus' name. God's blessings to ya! 😉

Jim Jones had an easier time getting his followers to drink the Kool Aide than you will have trying to get a person to stop eating cake. I tell people to rate the foods they like 1-10 on taste. Then rate them 1-10 on nutrition. Most people will find a slew of foods that rank high on both. Not every thing you will eat is a ten in taste but a skinny body that eats 7 tasting food is a win.

      In that video he mentioned how insulin is the key hormone. There is a doctor who has treated about 1000 severly overweigh patients and none of them have needed surgery to remove excess skin when finished. Here is the two websites heaps of FREE and usefull information www.dietdoctor.com/ and idmprogram.com/ There is heaps on youtube search dr jason fung.. The key is intermittent fasting . The reason is becasue insulin is the energy storage hormone. Every meal lifts insulin. Making it hard to loose weight. If you eat 3 times a day and cut carbs as well. Becasue insulin gets a regular lift, 2 things happen 1 you loose weight 2 your metbolism also slows down. 2 is bad long term.. Where if you do intermittent fasting, your insulin drops, its easier to use fat and so your metabolism does NOT slow down. Also your body will breakdown the excess skin as you shrink. Also you can do intermittent fasting even if you cant exercise. Check with your doctor if you are on medication especially any disbeties medicine. This is really important some diabeties medicines will make you severly sick if you fast. Its working really well for me. I hope this really helps.

After the 3 or 4 month mark of no sugary drinks, I noticed all cravings for other sugary treats ended. I was able to think much clearer and I noticed will power returned. From then on, I started making healthier eating choices. I started cooking healthier meals and added fruit and vegetables to each meal. I didn't even realize the weight was coming off.

      I started power walking every day. I started going to the gym (worked my way up to going at least 6 days a week). Also got back into doing a lot of yoga.
      I started trying to be more careful with what I ate (I have a powerful sweet tooth) so I gave up a lot of sweets, and practically all sugary drinks, especially soda.
      My job also requires me to walk/run around most of my shift, so that was helpful too.
      And honestly, I just started spending a lot of time outside. Had friends that would go play sports or go hiking with me.
      But two key things that are really challenging for me, but I’ve been working hard on and have been improving my weight loss immensely, is getting better sleep and giving up most dairy. Not all dairy, but most dairy products I try to stay away from.
      At first, it felt like I wasn’t making much progress very quickly. But I was incredibly fortunate to have friends around me who encouraged me and pushed me to keep with it. My best friend basically took over as my personal trainer. 😂
      But I kept pushing, and didn’t try to tackle all of these changes at once. I basically tackled one change every two weeks, and went from there.

    I’d highly recommend swimming to anyone struggling to lose weight. I dropped 80lbs in 2019 by swimming and implementing intermittent fasting. It’s difficult at first, but you’ll adjust and get comfortable with it after a while. The only way to really change is to get comfortable with discomfort, until your mind can adapt to your new habits.

Fasting from 6pm to 6am works well for me. I'm now at a healthy weight, look and feels great and totally committed to this new lifestyle! OK, I'm waiting for the 101 excuses...

    When I was in the military, working out every day including running a minimum of 4-6 miles a day, something in my body changed very quick and I started gaining weight out of control; to the point I went from 160 to little over 200 pounds in a matter of months. Eventually, I lost my career over it. I never figured out why because the Army wasn't interested in checking my system to figure out why I gained weight that quickly. My battalion commander, who was a true infantryman and who was aware how hard I was working out and not losing any weight pleaded with me to stay in the military and promised me his support if I would decide to fight my discharge. Emotionally, I was destroyed for losing my childhood dream of being a soldier for life.

    In the past one to two years I’ve gone down to 190lbs from 360lbs. I didn’t want to lose weight, I have and failed in the past, I knew I had to change my lifestyle as a whole. For as long as I can remember, say around 3 years old I have been overweight (I’m 20 now) and it’s taken a huge toll on me obviously physically, but greater mentally and emotionally (suffered from severe depression, my weight play a large part).
    The first four months of my journey I started drinking more water, attempting on doing pushups and intermittent fasting every day (16/8), just being healthier. I lost a good chunk of weight though I cannot recall the exact amount (literally never checked the scale), I was impressed with the results but not content.
    I began to incorporate walking every day into my daily routine along with squats and planks. I became a lot less frequent in fasting but started eating better generally and being more cautious of what I consumed. It is insane, nowadays I look at what people eat, stuff I used to eat, and am baffled knowing how bad particular foods are for your body. It should be a crime of how unaware people are of the shit being consumed on a regular daily basis. These foods have been stapled apart of our lives in the media and made so normalized that most struggle to or can’t even comprehend the vastness of the problem.
    Continuing with my weight loss, for the past 8 months (COVID inspired me to work harder) I have been weight training, walking, doing yoga, and HITT workouts in my weekly routines; along with drinking lots of water and eating whole foods rather than the junk, I used to consume. I feel so healthy now physically and am a lot more stable mentally and emotionally.
    Though the work I put in physically made a massive difference, I strongly believe the changes I made nutritiously played a larger part in my journey. I never ate THAT much, but what I’d eat was literal garbage, whether it be granola bars/sugary snacks, big portions of refined carbs, and just other processed foods I didn’t know were so bad for me.
    When looking back on my journey I am so proud of what I’ve accomplished and learned so many things I will incorporate into my lifestyle in the span of my life. I encourage everyone who made it this far in this post to truly analyze what you do and make healthy changes to your lifestyle (eating better, working. The feeling of wellness you will receive is unbelievable and something I wish everyone could witness and live by. The foods I used to be addicted to, whether fast food or refined carb or sugar foods mentioned above I do not even think of having today. Knowing how bad they actually are for me disgusts me and I don’t miss them.
    I went from being a morbidly obese, depressed person that never thought what I have done would be possible. I decided to make a change in my life and slowly saw changes that motivated me more. Amidst my journey, I inspired my younger brother to lose weight to which he lost 60lbs. I have changed my life and don’t ever see myself going back to what I once was.
    It doesn’t matter who you are or what you are going through, you must be the change you want to see. Whether it be losing weight or breaking a bad habit it all starts with you. Change doesn’t happen overnight; it is something you have to live by. You don’t just eat well for a month and expect to be healthy forever, you have got to make it a lifestyle. Each and every one of us has the power to make a change, big or small, and by being courageous and pushing through the hardships of what life throws at us you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. Your abilities as a human being are endless, respect, embrace and love the individuality you contain as a being. Be healthy and live happily. Don't take shit from anyone live your best life, stay blessed!

Most people lose weight easier in warmer weather but I'm the opposite as I struggle with sweet drinks to help with the heat, and replace it with unsweetened tea in cold weather. So I'm hopeful! My end goal is to be 220 in 4-5 years. I have a broad frame and I am some what taller so a somewhat muscular 220 would be a good weight for me, not looking to be in model shape, I'm in my mid thirties and have been hit by to many injuries and illnesses to delude myself with that being realistic for me. A stocky build is doable and vastly better than I am now. Replacing pasta with unprocessed grains and potatoes, way upping my fat intake, focusing on protein and reducing carbs to a realistic degree.

    At one point I was 22, depressed, my gf was cheating on me and I also weighed 230 pounds at 5ft10. My BMI put me in the obese category.
    The best happened when that relationship ended, in the space of about 4 months I had lost 65 pounds (down to 165 pounds) and I have been around that weight ever since. I didn't have a gym membership and focused purely on diet and some strength exercises (pushups and pull ups). The main thing that helped was being religious with counting calories, substituting bad foods with healthier ones and meditating. It's tough at the start, then finally you get momentum and everything begins to fall in place. Whoever is out there facing a similar battle just remember that everyone wants you to be the best you can be and we all have your back.

Kids played outside and learned to be active. They didn’t have to have their parents helicopter over them the whole time either. It was normal to see groups of kids riding bikes together or playing games. Now with the 24-hour new cycle, everyone is paranoid that the streets are infested with perverts and child predators. These days, if you let your kids walk to the park by themselves, you are a bad parent. Better to let them play video games inside where it’s “safe”.

      @@uolacelaranjinha1675 I would only eat between 10am and 6pm, or sometimes 11am and 7pm. I found this difficult in the first 10 days, but after that I got used to it and realized how nice it was to not be eating all the time....from when I wake up, to when I go to sleep. I'm now back to eating normal since I lost the weight I was trying to lose (about 10 pounds) - which took about 5 months total, about 3 months straight the from Feb to April, then a break for a month, then again all of July and part of June and August. But I am now back to eating whenever I want, which I do try to stick to a 12 hour window, so from 7am to 7pm. I think its really healthy just to keep it in check. Going on holiday is the hard part. Regular work days are easy.

      I do intermittent fasting. I get up at 4 am and get to work by 5am. I eat like a hog from 4:20-4:30am and don’t eat again till I get home at 5:30-6. Then I’m too exhausted. Thats gotten me so outta whack

    overweight ppl who 'cant lose weight" rarely are unable to lose it due to health issues and most of the time are overweight because they arent putting in enough for or effort. I used to be 220 lbs now im 124lb and in pretty good shape, it was hard but i put in work and effort and i hate to say it but there are absolutely no shortcuts to it, and yes you HAVE to change your diet for the better 100%, and you also need exercise for health but if its only weight loss the best thing you can do is be moderately active (do normal every day physical activities maybe go on walks) and most importantly have a HEALTHY DIET

    I agree about the stress... I had a tragic happen where it left me stressed on a daily basis. I gained thirty pounds in two years it was eye opening. What helped me get back on track was eating healthy but WALKING the walking helps me feel less stress and I think that's what's important.
