I’ve humble bragged on probably a few threads but I’m half asleep. I’ve lost 40 pounds in 8 months by portion control to go with all my exercsie to stay surf -Fit. Not a food nazi, but like 4 days a week under 1000:total calories per day. Have a good meal or a few of the chocolates here and there. But I have been running a calorie deficit with relative ease (maybe moody sometimes if I haven’t eaten in 18 hours or whatever. Mostly when I eat it’s small healthy portions of somethin yummy. 5 10 188 now ( just lost another 6 this month. and forget when I was a drunk, many of you knew me and partied with me I was a jolly fat fuck that could surf, topping out at 255 6 years ago. All new clothes in an expensive town where a decent work style is expected now instead of just suits, costs some shekels.
And I’m doing a spin ride tomorrow at Equinox Grand Central to raise money for Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center hint hint pm for deets if you aren’t already overwhelmed with good intentioned fund raisers I made sure to have a big hearty meal tonight
I eat chicken, broccoli, and rice just about every night. It's a great meal.
Yeah sometimes I may just eat one small 600 cal dinner of like, bell n Evans chicken nuggets.
I've never been able to eat less. Eating better yes but not eating less. Over the past 7 months I dropped 20 pounds not by eating less. I lost it by working hard at the gym and replacing junk food with more meat and veggies. I tried eating less and then I would just get hungry and binge eat all the wrong things to make up for the deficit. You still need your stomach to feel full and satisfied.
I didn’t say it was easy. I said it was simple.
Eating better yes but not eating less.
Eating ”better” usually means you end up cutting calories, aka: eating less.
You ate fewer calories than you burned. Working out wasn’t necessary for the weight, but it‘s generally good for you.
Training yourself skinny is somewhat of a myth. Your body will burn more calories but people almost alway increase caloric intake.
When I trained for Ironman Kona I was 175lbs (already pretty fit) in April and by September, 3 weeks before race day, I was 185. I was doing 11-17 hours of cardio a week. I cut calories and weighed in at 177 on race day all while tapering off of training.
That’s just a lack of disciplin.
No you don’t.
I recently bumped up over 190 due to lack of discipline so I made some adjustments. For the last 3 weeks I have never felt ”full and satisfied.”
Now I’m at 185 (I like to drop slow).
And when most meals are small, the occasional big dinner out or whatever, you can eat a decadent meal but get that “full and satisfied“ feeling with less food despite the indulgence. Carpe most diems but only eat big once or twice a week, keep the portions small balanced and healthy the majority of the time. Minimal sugar intake etc.
I have nothing against those at all, except for brown rice. That stuff is gross. I often eat similar meals. I’m more illustrating that you shouldn’t diet in a way that is drastically different from how you plan to eat afterwards. The more you diverge back towards the unhealthy habits you had before, the more weight you will gain back.
Replacing junk and carbs with veggies and protein is a good strategy. That way you can consume a similar volume of food that has less calories because it’s more filling and satiating.
Also, eat on smaller plates.
Remember the subway diet, that fat dude Jared ate a subway sandwich for breakfast & one for lunch then a regular dinner.....all in all less calories
Also.....feeling hungry is an emotional state. It's a body trigger when it needs food...but how many people feel hungry but aren't starving. The feeling of hunger shouldn't be used for meal planning unless you are truly living feral.
