Before I started keto, I counted the cals that I ate normally,
and the revelation was stunning. I was simply overeating and
felt hungry before the standard meal times. Now, I never feel
hungry and sometimes easily forget to eat.

Well, since you work off those calories with lifting weights. But the majority of people spend a good part of their labor and leisure on their ass but their diets don't reflect that.

I guess that that's true to a certain extent, I didn't mean to say that you could end up shredded by following a simple diet like mine absent a solid workout routine; I was meaning that if you cut your carbohydrate intake down to a very minimal percentage, your body WILL become a fat burning machine.

you shouldnt be baffled. it's genetics that keeps you think. when i lost all my fat, if i had one pizza on a saturday i gained 10 fucking pounds.
i'm not joking.

While I agree that genetics are by far the biggest factor in body shape, I see a lot of overweight people miserably trying to shed a few lbs by picking the most ridiculous diets for weight loss. I continually see folk eating large pasta or rice dishes claiming they're "good for you" when in essence they're just big bowls of insulin spiking sugar.

I have a friend who was fairly large - 6'2 257lbs and NOT muscular in the least. With a half arsed home weight lifting plan an a low-carb diet, I helped him get down to 205lbs in around 6 months which is a nice and sustainable weight for him... plus he's a lot more toned looking due to the basic weight lifting regimen.

I could get a couple of spaghetti squash, a bell pepper, a bag of frozen corn, 2 onions, a head of garlic, handful of carrots, head of celery, a can
of broth and a bag of rice for the price of a Big Mac Meal and make at least
6 meals out of that. Admittedly, it takes time to prepare and (for me) discipline not to go for the Big Mac, though.

This illiustrates the problem I have with eating healthy meals at home. The shopping part is easy. Its fun to buy all the colorful vegies, peppers, and spices. But when I'm hungry, and its time to eat -- my patience is thin. At that point I'd much rather pop a frozen burrito in the oven, or make a quick PB&J then plan/prep/cook a balanced meal.

I guess I could do the "instant pot" thing and have stews and stuff prepaired in advance, which I could reheat. But it just seems very complicated.

that I may have over indulged in an extra serving of nuts for

Yes, lifting weights can have double benefits. Firstly, it directly burns calories, and secondly, the process of building muscle consumes even more energy. This definitely helps with weight loss (or not putting it on). I've tended not to lose much, if any, weight when lifting (obviously what I eat closely balances what's used), but I have generally improved body composition doing so (more muscle less fat).

The slow cooker method is too easy! Just cut everything up, throw
it in, even it out, 4 it 8 hours later, it's done. Then you have
plenty to keep in the fridge for storage or freezer.

I made traditional beef stews and chilis like that for a while
(pre-healthier days) ..cuz I used white potatoes or tended to
overeat. My goal at that time was convenience. But later I
substituted chicken for the beef, and avoided potatoes. And then
later still, I learned to limit total calories and have smaller
portions. The whole thing was gradual. But the weightloss
results were rewarding.

I also learned that many recipies are quite forgiving. Exact
portions are not critical. If there was a little inbalance, the
difference led to perceiving "variety" in the 3 or 4 standard
recipes that I was doing. And.. here's the secret.. if a recipe
seemed a bit bland, a little bit of Worchester sauce (in the
individual serving) fixed the problem. Worchester sauce fixes
anything! :D

Your instant pot idea would be a good start. The recipes for slow
vs fast cooker are generally the same, but the instant pot
obviously produces faster results. Start with simple recipes and
work your way up as you gain experience and confidence.

I have the same issues at times - that's the blood sugar swings talking.
When I'm eating my old diet, I'd have a blood sugar drop after a couple of hours and fall for cravings. The nice thing about a plant-based, no sugar added diet is that my blood sugar is more even, and I can more easily curb
the cravings and make better food choices.

That's a pretty low amount of carbs! Atkins has you do "induction" for 2 weeks, sticking to 20g of carbs; after 2 weeks you're supposed to keep
adding 10G of carbs per day for a week until you get to a point where you maintain your weight, then dial back by 10g.

The 20g level was hard to keep up for extended periods of time.

All the majot diet types have a couple things in common:

[1] eat less (do NOT exceed a certain CAL intake/day)
[2] increase exercise.

;)

The 20g level was hard to keep up for extended periods of
time.

It was brutal. But my biggest revelation *before* I first
started with keto was the amount of cals I was consuming per day
- and here I thought I was eating fairly healthily.

But once I reduced the cals, the weight followed.

We only get fat if we open the mouth and keep shoving more food
into it than the body needs.

I'm able to manage when sticking to the above dietary constraints. I do

For reference, regarding keto + intermittent fasting... for those

they see about half their patients off meds at the 6 month mark, and
half again at the year mark.

I went off the mark last year and back on the wagon so to speak a month

Really? Buying fresh food and cooking it yourself is often cheaper. Eating out at McDonalds is horrendously expensive.

Let's see - fresh vegerables and meat for a week's dinners is around $75 (around $11/day). And that includes a bonus lunch or two from leftovers.

One McDonalds meal, was around $20 last time I bought a full meal there (not a
lot of choice, was either Maccas or KFC - best of a bad lot in this particular
town).

I spend a bit more than that a week, but even then it's still way less
than eating out... when eating out, I was generally spending between $20-40/day just for me. About 2-dozen eggs (pasture raised, $10-12),
4-pack of steaks ($40) or wild fish, sardines/mackerel, 3# ground beef
($20, grass fed), maybe $10-20 on infrequent things avg. $30-40 or so on
veg. for two weeks, then usually a smaller shop ~$40 on non-payday weeks.

I tend to stick to pasture raised eggs, but other than that will go from organic, grass fed, etc to not... I just try to mix it up as I know the nutrition in some of the gmo/grain fed isn't as good. Also, because I'm really not a fan of organ meats, so get a lot of micronutrients from egg
yolks and wild caught fish.

You're better off eating red meat alone from a fast food place than
*anything* fried from the same location.

According to the "science" I should probably have died of heart disease by now.
My staple is 4-5 eggs each morning along with an unflavoured protein shake with
milk. I have a light lunch or skip it all together and then for dinner I tend to have two steaks and potatoes with greens. Junk food wise, I'll have a packet
of crisps and some natural Greek yoghurt. I have maintained a body fat percentage of around 10% or less for many years, depending on the season, and still feel great in my mid-30s. I religiously lift weights and do gym work but
not a great deal of cardio as I care more about my appearance more than anything else. I'll have a carb blowout once per week but sometimes I can afford to do it twice without any noticable detriment. I have had my blood pressure checked, etc... which appears to be perfectly fine and my BMI is around 23-24.

Doesn't sound so bad to me actually, as long as the crisps/chips aren't
too much, over the top or otherwise infrequent. The activity level is probably what helps the most.

Sometimes I am baffled at the struggles people face to lose weight. When I was
bulking up many years ago I was 2 stone heavier than I am now (BMI=27.5). I lost around a stone of that fat with no problem whatsoever and thereafter lost
the muscle shortly after due to injury... I never really got back to that size
again preferring to aim for a gymnast style physique. I understand that the people who suffer chronic illnesses and immobility can struggle, but the rest of the population have no excuse not to be a normal weight.

A couple decades following dietary advice that includes several cups of
grains every day when you're already metabolically disfunctional (diabetic/pre-diabetic) doesn't help...

About 5 years ago, I religiously followed the prescribed diet I was
given for 3 months, taking enough insulin to keep my blood glucose in
check... I was eating around 1500 calories a day. I gained over 30#,
and felt like garbage, but the doctor was happy to see a close to normal
a1c and said I was lying about sticking to the diet considering the
weight gain.

I went on an elimination diet to try to discover any problematic foods,
when I discovered most legumes made me feel like garbage... went keto on around 2800 calories a day, much less insulin, and lost the weight I'd
gained and kept going... Been off/on the wagon regarding diet a few
times since then... social cues and cravings still happen and it's not
easy. I'll probably never be thin because of so many other issues that
mean I can't be really active as I'd like at this point.

If I knew what I know now in my teens or early 20's, I'd be in a much different situation today. I blame the low fat craze, food pyramid and cholesterol guidelines that started when I grew up more than anything.

I love working from home. I'll make a pot of vegetable stew during a break from calls. Start with a half an onion, half a pepper and a clove or two of garlic, diced. sautee until the onions start to sweat. Add in vegetables (kale, chopped squash, zucchini, frozen corn, sliced mushrooms, cauliflower really, whatever I have in the fridge at the time) and a can of beans - usually cannelini or garbanzo beans. Add vegetable broth to top, season with gobs of Mrs. Dash, cumin and/or cayenne pepper, bring to a boil, then simmer for 30 minutes. That makes 2-3 lunches with a scoop of brown rice or served
on top of a small microwaved potato.

This, from a guy who used to eat chain fast food or taqueria burritos for lunch every day up until last March.

It's a big problem in the UK. I know a lot of people who are polishing off 2-3 extra bottles of wine each week because they're stuck in the house working remotely or doing nothing all day.

oh i believe they are getting a lot done at home. they enjoy working at home. so they work less but get more done. plus they are plastered.

my company cut a lot of people because it became apparent that they were not useful while at work OR at home. when they really looked there was a lot of dead weight.

i have to show up but i barely do anything. since my mom died and my friend blew his brains out i was getting like 1-2 hrs of sleep and i was a zombie at work. i'd sleep for a microsecond and wake myself up snoring.
when i DO have something to do i hammer it out like nobody else, though.

what i'm saying is i want a bed or one of those google sleep pod things at work.

It's commendable and stoic of you to be able to bash out a shift after getting bugger all sleep. It's happened to me a few times in my career and it's nasty. I can't operate without a good night's sleep.

A sleeping pod would be a fantastic thing to have at work... I'd be in that fucker every day for quick nap after lunch.

my 4 10 hr day job which was thurs, friday, sat, sunday was at amazon.
i was a stower.

i've had lots of side jobs. it's a great way to pay off your debt. i usually work my way up to supervisor and job 2 becomes more involving than job 1 and i end up leaving from overwork and stress.

Good job. At least no one can say you've ever been work-shy... just don't take it too far otherwise you'll end up in an early grave due to health issues, the body isn't made for that level of exertion. I just bash out my 40 hours per week in a fairly comfortable enviroment and try to aim for 7-8 hours of sleep each night, because of that I've never had a sign of any physical problems which could pose a worry in the future.

the money was good. especially becausee they screwed up my paycheck in my favor a few times.

i also saw people bashing amazon and said they were slave drivers and the work was so hard and i had to try it to see for myself. it's not hard work. people are just lazy and don't like coming to work.

I know; I was just scrolling down looking for any posts I could jump into, to get into this echo. . . :) Nothing current to "All"

& figured I'd just jump in on anything that looked half-assed interesting. .

I've not yet figured out how to get my point wrking, so I'm limited by BBS interface, too. . . :)

Sorry, mate. . .

are you using one of those weird point and shoot msg listers?
those things are shitty.



on the default synchrononet interface hit & for msg scan config
choose set new-scan pointers

then set the date.

another thing in this menu that i use a lot that you might like is the [I] reintialize new-scan pointers

if you want to go back and read all the new msgs since you logged in you can scan it again.

Probably; I go into the echo, select "new mail to me only" & if nothing,
begin scrolling backwards in time, looking for interesting headers. . .

I'm sure I'll get my point working soon enough. . . for now, I'm just winging it. . . :)
