lightlyfried - excellent post

Weight-Control is 80% managing your daily diet...
Food is fuel, what you don't use you will store it away. So don't consume more fuel than your willing carry around.

You're a smart man Threak

So true. When I make my weight loss confusing and become inundated by the process it makes it impossible to lose weight. For me it was about basics, lower my caloric intake to a level that ensures I lose 3 pounds a month. I do not make it complex, I keep it very simple.

Exactly, I'd only cut out "junk" quote on quote if I was hungry. Then I'd swap it for something with more volume, loosing weight really is as simple as reducing calories, 3lbs a month is a nice steady pace. I imagine you didn't run into many hunger issues either?

Yup, that is what I am doing. I have cut my sugar intake considerably but I decided to trim it back a bit more and use fruit instead of lollipops for the sweet fix. One piece of chocolate helps too So, yes, just cutting calories (even if your diet was pure sugar) you will lose weight. The question being, is the weight we are losing coming from atrophy or genuine, healthy weight loss, in this context we would lose weight but it would more than likely come from muscle.

Well that would be from lack of protein, but if protein, carbs and fats were the same numbers, it doesn't matter if its lollipops or bananas your body can't tell as long as you hit your fiber. The only difference would be in hunger not body composition.

Quick thing to do is cut out whats called "Empty Calories", the ones with solid fats and added sugars in foods and beverages, they have no nutritional value. You want to maintain your nutrition while losing weight.

Of course true and on point I only wanted to make the assertion that any food taken in that is below the caloric min for weight maintenance will result in weight loss. BUT I am not saying ANYONE should do this, it is extremely unhealthy and will result in muscle loss. The best way to lose weight is to do exactly what I said but please, use healthy foods and liquids.

When you start paying attention to what you are taking in you can start to see why you may not be losing weight. For instance, I work out of a Starbucks and I used to get 4 coffees a day never thinking about the calories and sugar/fat I was taking in. My Coffee alone added up to my daily max for weight maintenance! Today I take my coffee with a slight amount of low fat milk. This alone started my weight to drop. Then I started to evaluate the remainder of my intake and it was easy to see why I was gaining weight. I suggest anyone who is trying to lose weight to treat it like PE, keep a log, photos, caloric intake (proteins, Carbs, etc.) and any exercise you may be doing in addition. This is really the only way to scientifically to predict weight loss with accuracy.

First month of my weight loss I was eating pizza on the daily. I have a metabolism that allows me to loose weight on nearly 3000 calories though. The only time eating what you wanted would be unhealthy would be if you had a low metabolism and didn't have enough calories to hit your micro nutrient requirements.

Well my kitchen is finally being installed so I am in a hotel room for the next few days. They have a microwave and a refrigerator in the room so I am so happy to eat hot food again! Last night I had Lasagna, so yummy. My diet up until yesterday was pretty much Beef Jerky, Cereal, low fat milk and fruit. I lost all the weight I did on this diet. Anyway, once my kitchen is done I can actually cook healthy food again.

I cook most of my food with a microwave! potatos, oats - they're the main stables of my diet.

Well it has been 3 years since I have had a kitchen and they are building it right now so I am definitely looking forward to all kinds of cooking. I stopped by the house today and they have gotten much done so soon, very soon!

So fucked up now. Plumbers came in and quoted the job for $2500 and there is no way I will do this, it is ridiculous to connect a stove and a heater. So now, until I find a reasonable plumber nut every day I am in the hotel it is another $100. This is just becoming a nightmare. Please pray for me!

Whatttttt, trying to make a quick buck in hopes you fall for it and say yes. Can't stand dishonest people. Being reasonable = good word of mouth = more money in the long run.

My God, you need to really understand how bad my mental issues are! I am completely dyslexic, I can not see color, I am agoraphobic and will not go in my basement and these are only a few oddities about DLD. The good news is I finally have a guy that is doing a good job and getting the work done!
