Yeah, chips are my weakness. If I buy 6 (big) bags of chips. I’ll eat them all in 6 days. Junk food is mean. So, I just don’t buy it. I walk straight through that aisle, eyes straight ahead. I’ll buy a couple of packs every 2-3 months, to have a break. But, that’s it. Fun, but completely unnecessary and when you feel like s**t immediately after gorging on it, you know it’s no good for you.
People go to the doctors for a quick fix and doctors are quick to prescribe. Endless cycle. You don't go to the doctors if you're looking for lifestyle change to lose weight, so that's what you're given. Phentermine is a quick fix but you can't suppress your appetite forever. It plateaus and you regain the weight you lost.
Given where you work.
Are you not literally blown away by the amount of fast food in the area.
Have you ever witnessed the panic line ups at Maccas, HJ etc etc from around 6pm onwards. It explains a lot.
Here is an article to put everyone off ALL fast food. Its disturbing. Warning required here.
Subway worker WALKS through food and puts food on bathroom floor
Subway worker Jumanne posted a series of videos vandalizing a Subway restaurant in Providence, Rhode Island, where he dumped food onto the floor. He even put ingredients on the toilet.www.dailymail.co.uk
Actually this is wrong.
I have a similar issue as well my friend. Iam type 2 and my Dr (who is also a geriatrician) told me I should continue eating the foods I enjoy but simply half the amount you eat. Like its a simple thing to do. My objective is to lose 1kg a month. Not to make it a diet restrictive process. I have to get down to 100kg but my starting point is 125kg. I just enjoy my food. Infact I tell the Dr's that it's my wife's fault because she is a great cook. Mind you I dont blame her to her face even if I say it in jest. But its bloody hard to lose the weight and keep it off. I thought that because I went cold turkey and stopped smoking (havent had a smoke for 40 years now) that I could do the same with food but I really struggle.Im so sorry to hear that.
This year I had to deal with a few personal issues, at one stage I was ordering UberEats 3x a day and no exercise whatsoever.
I was actually fine for a few weeks, in terms of weight. I was literally smashing pizzas and ice cream too.
But I turned come the 4th week.I put on weight, however instead of losing it, I hit the gym focusing on building muscle for a few months.
When I restored my strength and gained muscle, I started the slow grind of losing weight. Then about ~4weeks, I went hard and lost 5kgs.
I dont think the Mods will mind me saying this, but there is actual legal prescribed drugs you can take that will help you lose weight dramatically.
I dont disagree with you but I dont subscribe to the walking/exercising as being critical to losing the weight. I mean it might help but when I decided to stop smoking I was told "dont putting the cigs in your mouth" Its that simple. The biggest contributor to gaining weight is food. The biggest thing you can do to help yourself is stop putting the food in your mouth. If you can reduce your input you will lose weight. If you decide to exercise or go walking it will help but its the food intake that has to be controlled. But its not easy. My wife's roast dinners just kill me. I cant resist them.
I completely agree. Losing weight is 5% exercise and 95% diet. I listed what I consider eating well. But, walking has many added benefits to just losing weight. It should be encouraged. People are too sedentary nowadays.
For most, exercise is an important part of losing weight and in fact even standing up rather than sitting all day. Brisk walks or whatever. I am doing 16:8 fasting now to improve my already good health and lose some pounds from sitting working online all day here in Bangkok. Done it before. Easy and works. Your body digests food and stores fat and this takes masses of energy. It takes say 8 hours to digest all the food and then the body switches to fat burning and body repairing - can only happen after say a 14,15 16 hour break in eating. I eat what I want 11 am til 7pm. Feel better- losing pounds.. fell less hungry than before - regular eating does that makes you hungry all the time). Diets are troublesome.
Anybody who is too sedentary need to get themselves a Kelpie/Border Collie cross. If you don't walk, they'll make you regret it. And you can't be mad cause it's your fault.
Congratulations on your journey.
Is it the alcohol or the food?
Both I reckon, heaps of carbs in booze and when I hit it I hit it reasonably hard. But the next day I eat and eat bad. So without the booze the binge wouldn’t happen
Hmm. I booze pretty hardcore and I can still eat well. Not everyone’s the same. But, it doesn’t affect my diet. Maybe when I was younger.
Loads of sugar in most booze
The fat just goes onto your liver, right?
Lucky I’m fit as * already, then!
