I've struggled with being overweight my entire life. I feel like I am in control and have made a lot of progress-- so I want to preach about this. Restrictive diets work but if you can't maintain it for a long time (keto, vegan, paleo, etc.) the weight will come back. I yo-yo dieted like many obese people do. Anyone out there struggling here is how I've lost 160 lbs and gained muscle / mobility: - Make sure you get good sleep. Sleep is incredibly important.
- Intermittent fast (black coffee, tea, or caffeine pill in the am) lunch afternoon
- track what you eat (there are a plethora of free apps that can help)
- track how much you walk aim for 10k+ steps
- do resistance work outs (free weights, calisthenics, ruck march, etc.)
- cut back alcohol as much as possible
- cut back sugar as much as possible
- use the scale as a tool don't be afraid of it. (when I stepped on a scale I weighed over lbs. it was so painful to see that but ultimately worth it) The biggest thing that has helped is a shift in my mindset. I look at going to the gym as treat /privilege. I've envisioned the end goal of how I look and feel. |
