What diets work for you people? General speaking, a lot of people usually try to go on a diet at some point in life.
Just a little excited guys, started a diet a week ago and already lost 10 pounds.
-
Diets don't work. Has to be a lifestyle change.
-
are you just wanting to drop some weight or are you thinking life change?
Most diet's are tough to stay on IMO.
I'm a weight watchers person.
-
Not gonna lie, lifestyle change wouldn't be a bad thing. Gonna shoot for that.
-
well, weight watchers is pure and simple portion control and cut down on processed carbs. Like a baked potato isn't bad but a dinner roll is a lot. all the fruits and veggies you want, pizza not so much.

What's the diet? How did you lose 10 lbs?

I know it's not the healthiest or best diet, but I'm on Atkins, Low Carb diet. First two weeks is strictly no carbs basically, can have very little, but then you can have a little more and mostly becomes portion control after that. And also cutting out sweets.

Low Carb, lost 10.4 to be exact.

Simplest rule to follow is that if you can identify the plant / animal something came from by looking at the food on the plate, then eat all you want. If not, avoid it. Seems similar to what cire said about weight watchers.

i do like this.
if i just commit to working out regularly everything else seems to go better too. it's the weeks that i get lazy and don't exercise that my diet goes to crap, which is the biggest component of weight loss/gain.

I can identify the plant/animal that all of my meals come from, regardless of whether it's healthy or not.

Makes sense. Strange thing, that 10 pounds was seriously without barely any working out at all. Gonna try and workout a lot this week and see what happens.
-
Cut back on beer, eliminate pop, don't eat Chinese every night, throw in some veggies from time to time and you'll be good
-
moderate workout will notice a big change. up to 5 pounds a week but it will make you a lot hungrier so you'll need to find a way to stave that. for me it is drinking a crap ton of water.
-
For the next 6 weeks, my diet is anti-atkins
1st 2 weeks-bread & green tea
2nd 2 weeks-bread, rice & green tea
3rd 2 weeks-bread, rice, veggies & green tea
I will allow myself to have vitamins and a protein shake after workouts but there's nothing quite like a good meat and dairy detox to get the old metabolism going

Kinda ironic considering your goEMAW namesake died of starvation.

Also been taking vitamins as well. Yes, I'm drinking diet pop now, but eventually wanna cut it out all together. I'll be sure to drink a crap-ton if water as well.

As someone that has done low carb diets that lead to ketosis, those 10 lbs are water weight. In short, carbs will make you store water weight (via glycogen).
You will not lose weight faster while in ketosis. You will lose fat faster. When in ketosis, your body uses fat almost exclusively for energy whereas on a low calorie "normal" diet, your body will raid fat and muscle. So weight loss is similar, but you'll retain more muscle on a super low carb AND high fat diet. A high protein diet with low carbs and fat will not lead to ketosis. Your body will convert protein into carbs when this done.
I don't know if it's necessarily healthier, but I feel better while in ketosis. YMMV
-

This. Once you learn to eat in moderation and mostly healthy (of course, let yourself have nights off once in a while), you can keep weight off with exercise. Set plans just make it feel like work/school.

Here's my five best tips
Bring a sandwich for lunch get the heaviest whole grain bread you can find and only use one piece folded in half.
sub steel cut oats for morning oatmeal rather than cereal.
don't eat a portion of meat bigger than your palm.
go one meatless day a week.
walk run a mile a day.
-
Try these:
1. "Sour cream and cheese"
"No thanks"
2. "What can I get you to drink?"
"Water"
3. "Would you like to try a mocha?"
"No thanks, I'll have a medium black coffee"
4. "You need a ride home?"
"Na, I'll walk"
5. "You and the Mrs. want to meet up for ice cream?"
"Sure, but how about (insert non-ice cream place)"
Keep in mind I'm still fat but less fat than in previous years.

Its probably not the calories in the PBRs that really matters. It will be the medium pizza and 2:30 AM fast food binge that will do you in.

This, sort of. You don't really have to bust your ass. Just don't rough ridin' gorge yourself whenever you eat. Most places you eat at will give you much more food than you need for a meal. But definitely exercise, you don't want to be "skinny fat" and it's just better for your overall health to be active.

want to stop being a fatso? then stop behaving like one.
Step one: set a daily calorie intake limit (~1200 or so).
Step two: there is no step two. congratulations. you're losing weight.
Extra credit: do some kind of exercise.
you can do as much exercise as you want, but unless you're eating right, it's pretty much a waste of time. it's way easier to lose weight by not eating like an idiot.
example: there are 140 calories in a 12 oz can of coke. to burn 140 calories, you have to run a mile at a 10 minute pace. now what's easier? running a mile, or drinking a glass of water instead of a coke?

I have similar experiences.
Fat is your friend America, don't let them fool you. Fat has the best natural amino acids that are essential to cell growth and brain health.
I have lost 5-10 pounds easily a week while in Ketosis.
Don't believe the hype about cholesterol and saturated fat. These nutrients are good for you.. They're good for the mood, muscle repair, reflexes etc.
I suggest reading the Primal Blueprint and watching Fathead on Netflix..
-
Yeah...true Ketosis is your best friend. Weight just slides off. It is hell on your liver though. Getting drunk on an atkins/low carb diet is super hard on the liver. Drinking alcohol while you are in ketosis won't throw you out of it but it will stall it until the alcohol leaves your system.

Ppl are different in what they burn based on a lot of variables. 1200 is pretty low, especially for a guy. Ppl wanting to take the Dlew challenge should spend a little time on the Google educating themselves first and adjust that 1200 to whatevs is appropriate so that the weekly deficit adds up to 3500-7000 calories in the neg. That would get them 1-2 pounds a week which is the rate of loss that most pros say is the best. I have seen a lot of stats saying that ppl that lose in that range are much more likely to keep it off than ppl that lose faster.
FWIW.

I dated a girl recently who had a really good diet. We'd go out to eat and drink and then she'd throw it all up. She was stunning though, so I think it was working. I miss her. :frown:

Fat ass!

After 4 or so days without carbs your body will go into ketosis, which is when it starts using your stored fat for energy. However, it takes until about the 6th or 7th day of no carbs before your body has burned enough fat to make your body feel normal. Days 4-6 are absolutely awful. Terrible headaches, feeling sick, having no energy. No one will tell you the no carb diet doesn't work, though. It's a great short term diet.

Yup. Congrats, you just met your calories for the day with no sweat.
-
so i jumped into the ketosis thing. i waited a few weeks to see how i felt before vouching for it.
i like it. i've lost pounds which is to be expected on any plan when you're monitoring calorie intake and getting good workouts in. but what i like about it is that it's the most satisfying diet i've been on. i guess i crave carbs less than i thought because the majority of what i eat is greens, eggs, meat, and cheese and i'm fine. have been at <30g carbs every day and feel great. gotta love steak covered in butter for dinner. the weekends are still tough because of alcohol binging, but i find that a cheat day doesn't really ruin anything, just slows it.

This weekend I am building some parts and pieces that will allow me to convert my desk into a standing desk. Lots of stuff has been published lately about how sitting for long periods of time is very bad for a person's health. I have also read that working at a standing desk can increase calorie burn for an average day by around 40%.
I am looking forward to trying this out.

Colleague has a standing desk. The office rumor is hemorrhoids. All of my Danish colleagues have desks that raise and lower, and the people here bitch incessantly about it.

The complainers, are they a bunch of lazy asses that love sitting down and stuff? I mean, I fully expect the first week or so to suck. But after that, I think I will be fine. :dunno:

I mean the people here want those standing desks, but they cost more money so we can't have them. And people bitch to every Danish manager that comes over that we want the standing desks.

Sounds like your office needs to have an epidemic level outbreak of hemorrhoids. :dunno:

They are pretty expensive, though. Looking into them, some basic ones are like $1900. That is why I am building a stand system for my existing desk that will raise it and provide some storage. I can build it for like $30 and paint it so that it looks nice too. Just going to raise it and not GAF what anyone else says.

I'm picturing known giant CNS's desk towering over the heads of smaller people in the office and, trust me, it's very lol.

Full disclosure. My current desk is set up on 4" blocks to make room enough for my legs to be under it and my keyboard tray to still have room to move/exist.
Also, my desk is pushed up immediately next to my coworker's(think a cop movie with desks back to back). When I raise it, my coworker will probably have a perfect window view, between his desktop and the bottom of mine, through which my cargo-short covered junk will be perfectly visible.

I read an article awhile back that said productiivty decreases pretty drastically and error rates increase pretty drastically with the standing desks. That may be why they are resistent to them rather then the cost. I'm guessing a company would recoup the cost of the desk pretty easily in reduced health care costs.

I haven't read anything that addresses errors, but I have read plenty of things that say productivity, creativity, and problem solving increase. They usually reference the difference to an increase in blood flow. I am someone who walks around a bunch when on the phone and honestly feel like I think better like that.
Like I said, the first week will probably suck until I get used to it, but afterward, I think it will be fine. My biggest initial concern is typing. I type slower when standing and without anything supporting my arms.

I came to the conclusion recently that dieting just isn't for me. I've tried to limit intake at times, and while it's worked to some extent, I think just using copious amounts of physical activity to balance my penchant for binging and gluttony works best for ol' Nicname.

Guys we're only about 100 days from Spring Break 2014, so if you want to be impressing the fly babes with your rockin' bod it's time to put down that turkey leg and make that fuckin' bar bend!
Or just eat the turkey and exercise more.
I came to the conclusion recently that dieting just isn't for me. I've tried to limit intake at times, and while it's worked to some extent, I think just using copious amounts of physical activity to balance my penchant for binging and gluttony works best for ol' Nicname.
Funny I posted this around a week into the holidays. Correction: there is no amount of physical activity that can match my gluttony during the holiday season.

About a year ago I gave up drinking heavier beers (pale ales, IPAs, porters, etc.) for about 2 months, and only drank light beers...Lost 10 lbs.
I still enjoy the good stuff from time to time, but if its going to be a binge night then I try to stick to Coors Light. Seems to work. :Woot:

That's a real dumbass diet IMO. Drink the good stuff, eat less shitty fried food instead. No offense, grats on 10 lbs and being miserable.

Nobody enjoys a good pale ale more than me...just saying what yielded results. Moderation tho.

Started dieting a couple weeks ago and got a couple comments over the past few days about looking skinnier. This is usually when I call it good. Not this time!
Pretty much just eating salad, salmon, broccoli, chicken and brown rice, and once a week I food binge for a meal to keep me sane. I also fast for a 36 hour period once a week while downing tons of water.

That doesn't seem sustainable, why even go through the work if you're not going to keep it up long term?

I'm a very all or nothing person. I like to set weight lifting goals, eat a ton in order to meet them, then diet hardcore while maintaining those workouts. Once I get to a point I'm comfortable with, I start eating a lot again in order to meet my next goal.

I went to the dr today because I thought I might have the flu( :ohno:) but ended up just being an upper respiratory infection (:cool:). Anyways they did all the normal stuff like height/weight and the scale said the same thing the one at the gym says. Which I always thought was like 20 lbs off, so needless to say I will be rereading this thread again.
-
So you go to the doctor when you think you have the flu? :facepalm:

Do you guys ever get bored of eating? Sometimes I'll go to the store to pick up dinner/groceries and leave with hardly anything because nothing sounds appetizing.

was scared to step on the scale after the holidays, finally did, didn't really gain any weight, which was shocking to me.

Guys my wife ordered some blowups of our wedding pictures (ya I don't know why either) and holy crap I looked like a cancer patient back then. More rotund these days apparently.

I just got started last week. It wasn't so much of a resolution as it was just time to get it done. I have quite a bit of work to do but am off to a good start. 10 lbs down in the first week. The only part that I miss is the booze. I am totally off of it until I get to my goal. :emawkid:

gained about 5 pounds over the holidays. going to have to lose it when i get back on my normal schedule. Should take about 3 weeks or so.

I need to lose a lot. I have been eating around 1,500 calories and doing a somewhat low carb diet. I am also eating something about every two hours. So far, I haven't started a workout regimen yet but I plan to once I drop more lbs. Strange thing is I really haven't been hungry since I started.....

It's not really that strange. Eating several times a day keeps you sustained and prevents you from binge eating. Sounds like you've got a good plan. Hope you hit your goal.

Unless you need help to move around, you shouldn't put off starting a work out regimen. Don't get caught up in one idea of what that needs to be either. For example, don't tell yourself that once you get to a certain weight, you will start running two miles a day, or something like that but since you couldn't do that now you aren't gong to try. Start doing something now. Doesn't have to be anything earth shattering either. For instance, if you can't run far at all right now, start with intervals where you run 30 seconds or a minute, then walk a minute or two, then repeat for 20 min or whatever. Something like that will accelerate what you are trying to do and you will gain muscle while doing it making it easier to intensify your workout as you go.
Not only is it good for the physical benefits but working out gives ppl confidence and being sore from workouts is a constant reminder that you are working towards something, and it is a much better to have that as a reminder than it is to have being hungry or denying yourself something as the only reminder that you are working towards something. It makes it much easier to be positive and to stay focused.
If you don't know where to start, hire a trainer at the Y for one session. It will be like $25. If you don't have a Y membership and don't plan to get one, they will let you use the facility once or twice free of charge if you tell them you are looking into getting a membership. Often, they also have complementary trainer sessions the first or second visit to get you some basic info. That would be enough to get what you need to get stated and could be done with no expense.

You are right. I guess I should clarify. I'm not just sitting around doing nothing. I am getting out and playing bball with the kiddos in the evenings and stuff like that. Just haven't started a strict regimen yet. Time to start.

That's when you should skip a meal. If you don't feel hungry and nothing sounds good, then it means your body is satiated and doesn't need anymore calories at the moment.

Holiday gluttony and binging between the holidays gained me 17 pounds of pure gristle. I'm happy with the results.

Ms. Wackysquawk and I joined the same gym in the river market. We try to go together to hold eachother accountable. Also, we've been eating a lot of chicken breasts, veggies, and brown rice lately. I use lite soy sauce and mustard to add to the flavor. It's really good you guys!
-
I had a doughnut and whole milk for breakfast yesterday, chili cheese burger, fries, and chocolate shake for lunch from Spangles, and two tacos and a combo burrito from Taco Grande for dinner (skipped dessert!). I'm starting a new diet TODAY (right after I devour this bavarian chocolate muffin). But I plan on losing 15 lbs in the next two months.

Don't kid yourself, brown rice is horrible.

:thumbs: I'm more trying to maintain and build on muscle. However, she really wants to lose 15, so i'm just cheering her along, and making a few dishes that helped me in the past. She doesn't want much of the rice anyways, that's mainly for me. :D

bread, this perception is caused by the fact that the statues with big peens always had them stolen off

stolen peens, regardless of size, is a scary thought. what are the peen thief/thieves doing with these stolen peens? is there a blackmarket for stolen peens? is there a secret guild of peen thieves? did lorena bobbitt belong to this league of peen thieves?

Basically, if you are a master sculptor, you have a small peen and sculpt what you know.

are they cataloged? is there a peen librarian for the league of peen thieves peen library? do they have a dewey decimal system for peens? or is it hobbit style, where the peen thieves just chuck all the peens in there in a big ole peen pile for them to roll around in whenever they feel like?

It's more like indiana jones. Just crate upon crate full of buckets of peens.

I got a fitbit for my birthday. It's pretty cool. I enjoy being able to monitor how many calories I've burned. Yesterday I was going to get some bbq for lunch, but nope ran four miles instead and burned 600 calories.
-
that's a pretty crazy swing lopakman
-
and that's some rough ridin' bullshit that running 4 miles only burns 600 calories. should be, like, 6000 given how hard it is.

How does fitbit handle weightlifting? Is there an input for that?

I did really good yesterday. 2 spoon fulls of peanut butter, 1/2 salad/ck quesadilla, beef jerky, boneless wings/fries at minskys, a bunch of Manhattans at Harry's and Majestic, wine, and a chinese food lean cuisine at 1am. :lol:

Did you run for four hours? I'd be a fat ass with that much food.

No. My gf told me to come over after work and skip the gym. :frown: So much for my accountability partner. :frown:

It's ok. It doesn't have an altimeter so it doesn't give as true of a reading as the Fitbit One supposedly does.

It's not very good for tracking calories burned with weightlifting for a couple of reasons. It can't take into account the 'afterburn effect' which can last several hours after your done lifting, and there's no way for it to distinguish how heavy the weights are that you're lifting which obviously impacts your calorie burn. If you're in a cutting phase of weightlifting where you are doing circuit training with little to no rest the fitbit will register these as active minutes and count the additional calories burned accordingly. Essentially though it's still under counting the calories.

I have the fitbit force which has an altimeter. It's very accurate. I'm on the fifth floor and it tracks every floor.

Why not eat the bbq AND run the 4 miles?

Because I would have eaten 1000 calories of meat and I'm posting in the diet thread for a reason.

I think you're smart enough to come up with the mathematical balance between the bbq and the running, or at least your fitbit is.

Went from 190 to 170 in the past year using this diet, pretty good IMO

I would have done shameful things for a donut today. I don't even like donuts that much, but the fact that I can't have it was killing me.

Down 20-25 pounds since the beginning of December.

Been really monitoring the diet part for the last 2 weeks. Lose-it is definitely helping. Really easy to monitor and journal food. I was down 3 pounds earlier last week, probably 5ish now. Starting to get really bored with my meals now :Ugh:

Yep. Ideally, you would also just finish pounding a gallon jug of water as you step on the scale, too. I mean, really make yourself sick with it for the last couple hours before weighing in. Also, salt. Lots of salt the night before and all day until the weigh in.

Go to the bank and get like six rolls of quarter as well. "I won't have any pockets when I weigh in" you say? Well.....no one said anything about pockets.

mrs. dave and I are going to do this thing where they prepare all our meals for us every week and deliver them to our house and it's all paleo. I have no desire whatsoever to do a paleo food only diet but the idea of not having to cook any meals ever is appealing to me and mrs dave wants to do paleo. has anyone in KC or Wichita done this? is it awful or ok or good? will paleo only food make me hate life? also it's no gluten which is meaningless to us as neither of us have celiac or whatever but I don't think there's any way to force them to include delicious gluten.

I don't know if the being hungry, eating food that tastes bland, or not being able to consume alcohol is going to bother me the most. I suppose I can counter the being hungry by making sure I'm eating 6-7 small meals per day, but it's not like I'm going to be able to throw down Chiptole Burritos anymore and the no alcohol :frown:

Only 80 calories in a shot of vodka.
-
The problem with alcohol is is leads to poor eating habits, and lack of motivation to work out. At least it does for me. Plus even at 80 calories per shot of vodka, if I mixed it with diet something I'm still going to end up having like at least 6 shots worth of vodka which is almost 500 calories, which is the calorie deficit I'm going for each day.
Also, not sure if 8man understands how diets work.

carbohydrates are a macronutrient. they play an important role in your metabolism.

booze is also one probably which plays an important role in whatever

Regardless of what play you are tackling, cooking for yourself should be part of the plan. Otherwise, you are doing something temporary.

Mrs. lopak and I aren't going to go so far as to have meals delivered, but were thinking about going to social suppers where you can prepare meals there and heat them up at home.
There's still a time saver in that you don't have to deal with finding recipes and going to the grocery store, which I hate doing because I end up buying a bunch of crap I don't need. I also think it would be a fun family activity to go prepare meals and get the kids involved.

Breakfast: Protein bar and large iced americano - I am into the Gatorade bars right now because they have whey proting and won't make me a woman
Lunch: after a 90 minute lift/cardio at gym I make a chicken or turkey wrap using boars head and some tortilla, will throw in some Dilusso chese, eat a bag of pretels or some crap
snack: meh, coffee and maybe something else
Dinner: beers, maybe a handful of deli meat when I get home from softball
-
I think DD and I would get along just fine. This is almost exactly what I do. I didn't see Chipotle anywhere in there though...

Get some exercise and eat low calorie, high nutrition meals.

I bet you could find that all day. I mean, culinary institutes are kicking out ppl all day that are told to expect starting jobs at $12 or so an hour. I bet it would be pretty easy to grab someone a couple yrs out that would do that on a Monday without a problem.
