The "Diet" I Ate To LOSE 120 Pounds! It Was Almost Easy!

[@becoming_superhuman]

Did I do it perfectly? Absolutely not. Could I have done it better? Yep! Still learning and still finding my way with this new lifestyle. What about you? I believe we can all become healthier people, and I believe it's simple, but it's not easy. Would love to hear your story!

@@becoming_superhuman I did Keto for about 7 months lost 23# but slowly back to where it started! It has taken me two years to get back to 200# from 177! Wife told me i was getting my gut back, though not as bad cause I still do my walks and Kettlebells! So I am 3 days back on Ketovore! Some veggies, mostly proteins, eat when you’re hungry! I did not clean out the cupboard because I need to prove I won’t give in! Worked last time! I do one cheat meal a week cause wife is Carb based, dislikes meats, so we have one common meal a week! But I feel you for Sweets! I was a Pepsi and Tastycake addict till about 6 years ago! They are the Devil on my shoulder! But I keep pushing on! That’s my story.

Back in the '60's my Dad traveled a lot as a salesman. He told me a story of checking into a hotel he had last stayed in many months before. The guy running the night desk had previously been extremely overweight, but on the night Dad was checking in, had obviously lost a massive amount of weight. Dad asked him how and he replied "I stopped eating everything that was white". The guy was ahead of his time.

I'm exactly the same- I can't do moderate. Once I start eating carbs, I can't stop. I can't have anything 'disallowed' in my house, because it WILL get eaten in the evening. So, my only foods in the house are carnivore snacks (beef jerky, mostly).

Listening to this sounds like me!!! I was 276 and I am now 237 in less than 3 months. I had to get super strict with myself. I also started out as Keto but then after maybe 5 or 6 weeks, I cut back on the fats. I eat a lot of chicken, fish or pork and veggies. I love broccoli with a little butter and salt. I also cut out all carbs and fruits. My taste buds certainly have changed!!! My new best friends are red beets and cucumbers! Love them soooo much! I think ahead on what I can eat before I go out with family somewhere, look up the menu and avoid the carbs and baked potatoes and desserts etc. I was also pre diabetic and my BP was creeping up more and more. I just got my blood work done yesterday so I’m so excited to see where it is now!!! I’m never really hungry anymore because my body is satisfied. I don’t have any cravings for all the old stuff I was eating. I feel amazing!

My motivation is to keep control and help me with severe chronic & neuropathic pain. As soon as I get over a certain weight pain doubles and triples up.

[@stephenschroeder6567]

On the Temple of Apollo in the Greek city of Delphi there were some life mottos inscribed. Two of them were "Know thyself" and "Nothing in Excess." Pretty good advice, right? Many people use food to compensate for some other problem/issue. Find out what yours is and deal with it directly and not through food. For me, at age 65, I'd like to see and feel what it will be like to be 100 or more years old. *Eating processed foods will not get me there.* All those empty calories, those _poisons,_ would keep me from that goal and I am not about to fail that mission. For anyone reading this, decide what you think is important in life and then ask yourself, _"Don't I need to be healthy, my best self, to reach those goals and accomplish my dreams?"_ You know what you need to do. *Do it!* See you on the other side of 100. 🥰

Now I eat plain greek yogurt, cheese, unsweetened bakers chocolate, dry roasted or cocktail peanuts that contain ONLY peanuts & salt on the ingredient list), almonds, ground meat and soft cooked veggies like broccoli and peppers. I DO eat some low carb ice cream once a week... I had gastric bypass surgery 3-4 years ago, and I eat the ice cream because the fat in it clears out my intestines/bowels fairly quickly. Peanuts largely pass through me, providing fiber so no need for fiber supplements anymore. I cannot eat stringy meat or most leafy greens. It has taken me all these years after surgery to get to this point. I had to go to a mostly carb based diet for a week before a colonoscopy, broth, clear liquids, and both popsicles ns hard candy without red or purple dyes (which eliminated the sugar free versions of both popsicles and candy that was available at the store -- I have a minimum calorie count I am to maintain).... My legs swelled up badly by the end of this, took a week to get back my system back to my normal diet, and for my edema in the legs to drain so I could walk normally.

Same. Fried chicken, fried okra, beans and rice, biscuits & gravy, shrimp & mudbugs, BBQ everything, fried catfish and hushpuppies, smoked sausage & potato salad. Southerners know how to eat lol. I'm not giving up any of it. I have to spread it out though. Ya know.....pro tip. I also found that if I make a big old pot of it so there's leftovers, the easiest way to have your cake and eat it too is to not eat it as a meal. Snack on it throughout the day. Put it in the fridge. When you get hungry, make a small saucer sized portion, heat it up and approach it more as an appetizer, get a few bites throughout the day and not all at once. Save some for tomorrow and if it's one meal's worth, go ahead and do that. This way you're getting the pleasure from it but in a few bites to get your body to settle down thinking you ate something...then you can go longer periods without eating. The same way you'd eat a candy bar or pop some candies, do that with the main dish.

[@guidedmeditation2396]

Good luck to you. I would recommend you cut out all Seed Oils and hidden MSGs that spike your insulin levels 300%. MSG, hydrolized protein, dextros, maltodextrin, cultured celery powder, paprika extract, natural flavor, vegetable broth which is really fermented soybeans which also is why soy sauce gives millions migraines headaches. It sounds healthy but it isn't. There are many reasons to not consume seed oils. It is shocking how they are in almost everything but in addition to clogging your arteries, when they are stored as fat, your body is packed with a kind of fat your cells want no part of. Its a bizarre situation but your cells are very specific about what they let into their cell walls, this is why just taking vitamins is not as good as eating vitamin rich foods that are bioavailable because they are ready to go to a cell and the cell welcomes them in. When you are loaded with fat your cells want nothing to do with, when you try to diet and lose weight your cells would rather starve than consume your putrid cell oil induced fat. When you wake up to the fact that See Oils and hidden MSGs are in just about everything you pick up in a grocery store you will no longer wonder why as a nation everyone is struggling with a weight problem.

[@becoming_superhuman]

You can do it! And, yes, cheese and nuts are so easy to over consume. When I'm in weight loss mode, I do cut those items out. My body already has all the fats it needs for energy and if I give it more fats, it takes longer to burn what I have stored.

I stumbled across this channel and so grateful that I did. I'm 78 and have been obese all my adult life. So desperate to change over to real food. Self sabotaged with processed junk food or high carbs all of the time. Inspire myself instead of constantly failing with willpower is very helpful. I need to know how much protein (beef) per day is proper amount. I heard that eating too much protein for my weight just sends excess protein to fat cells.

It was like there was a monster inside me, roaring 😢 MORE! It didn't help that the food my sister cooks is really heavy on the carbs. Now, back at home, I'm struggling to get back on track. Three meals a day, good protein and good fat. I can have a clean whey protein even some of Dr Kiltz's homemade ice cream during a heat wave. Im about 15 pounds away from my weight loss goal, but if it doesn't happen, if I don't reach that number, it's okay. I'm 66, and my weight is okay for my age. I just want to get rid of the creaky joints and the chronic migraines. I want to run around with all my grand nieces and nephews and later, to dance at their weddings.

ive been eating like this for 4 years. all my numbers have completely improved. i am no longer pre diabetic, my liver improved, my kidneys improved and my inflammation has disappeared. my cholosterol numbers are now in the normal range. i have only lost about 10 lbs. it is very discouraging as the last several months i have added intermittent fasting but, so far nothing lost. i feel so much better so i will keep it up. your journey with this is amazing, congrats on your success!

Went from 335 to 217 in a year or so, changed how I eat. Eliminating supper or dinner while having my main meal in the very early afternoon. Still ate some breakfast, ham and eggs, home fries or a bowl of cereal. In the early evening you might see me eating a dessert or a cookie, maybe an appetizer or an apple. No restriction at all with regards to what I eat. Moderation is the key.

Well done! I believe that cutting out that evening meals is the ideal way to intermittent fast. Thanks for sharing.

I'm exactly the same as you - I can not moderate and a food addiction. Since my wife passed away in December I've joined a slimming world club and joined the gym. I've cut out the majority of processed food and do much more exercise. So far I've lost 4 stones (56 pounds). My waist has gone from 52 inches to 38 inches. Best of all my type 2 diabetes is in remission and my blood pressure is much improved. Going to the group every work really helps me keep focused and I have made some great new friends.

Unfortunately the vast majority of people who are obese live in food deserts. They do not have access to whole foods. I live 40 minutes away from the nearest grocery store. I can drive, most are relatively poor so may not have a car. Or have mobility issues. They really need others to help them get healthy. The other issue is the massive increase in cost. Those same people tend to be lower income. They cannot afford healthier foods. So the issue is there needs to be cheap healthy foods to replace those cheap bad foods and are easily accessible.

if they are that low income, then they get food stamps. eating like shit is a choice, period. you have to drive the same distance to buy cookies as you do steaks.

Thank you for sharing! :) I have found the vitamin Berberine help me to be able to eat in moderation at times or go extra 2x a week. The rest of the time is mostly low carbs...protein, veggies and fats. Berberine is amazing....I still get hungry yet I now understand when people say it is all in your mind and you can control it. As long I have Berberine and eat mostly the protein, moderate fats, and veggies...Im good. I do make some keto cookies and etc. I am working on being more savory. Or have a keto 'bread' roll or keto crackers with a touch of allulose (sweetness) and that will seem like alot. Like now I have less salt...so food are too salty. I want the same for the need for a sweet taste. A savory keto roll with cheese and a touch of sweetness is a dessert!

Hits home. I lost 75 pounds last labor day to about the end of April--didnt cut out all processed food but did eat lots of fats and proteins and lowered carb...and exercised nearly very day for 90 minutes. Then I had a few bad restaurant meals and fell completely off the wagon. It is an eating disorder but tied I think to abusing food trying to fill other holes in life that I need to get straight. All I know is a few good deserts, or a hamburger, or a pizza and it seems to be all over. Ive gained nearly the entire loss back in these past 4 months. It is not hard at all to eat 5,000 or more calories a day, and there's no outrunning even 3000 calories a day. Need to get back to under 2000. Need to get that inspiration and need to keep the negative vibes away that eventually lead to a failing. edit--oh also I can abuse butter, nuts and cheese so have to be really careful even when I am trying to eat better.

[@becoming_superhuman]

Hi Heidi, I did not. But it may be necessary for some. With eliminating most carbs, all processed foods, fast foods, and going to 1-2 meals a day, it was really difficult for me to over eat so I did not track my foods, macros, or calories.

[@wendywertz8828]

Carbs are not bad nor dangerous ! When you overeat you gain . Over consuming calories cause weight gain . I eat carbs I did not exclude any real food and yes I still have dessert but I stopped over eating ! I reversed pre diabetes, high blood pressure etc eat real food and move exercise ! Having some desserts occasionally is ok but I DID NOT BINGE ! If you binge don’t have any dessert. I eat all things in balance not high carb not high fat not high protein just balance and it’s great ! Dropped 65 pounds ( I’m 5’3” ) 56 yr old and gained muscle but lifting weights ! It’s critical to gain and keep muscle as we get older .

When your electrolytes get messed up you’ll feel crappy. Remedy… drink a little pickle juice and voila. Helps you get past it. Learn how to make keto desserts for when you think you’re about to crash your diet. That way you can eat that sweet without guilt. Being able to make keto bread and desserts have been a game changer for me for staying keto.

Hi Scott, im a food addict and im thinking of carnivore as a way to get control. My issue is i cook for my partner who may not want to follow the same path so my kitchen will be filled with carbs and i might have to prepare them. Thats a lot of temptation to overcome.

[@kathleenmartin7498]

Let your partner cook what they want to eat then, and you cook what you need to eat to get healthy. Grown adults should know how to cook for themselves, or be capable of learning. If your partner cares about you at all, they will 100% support you cooking healthy meals.

[@becoming_superhuman]

@@gupndors you may be surprised. They may actually like a carnivore, or carnivore adjacent diet. Or, cook veggies for your partner and simply pass on the veggies and add a little more protein to your plate. No doubt, it’s definitely easier if you and your partner are in the exact same path, but not impossible if not. Let me know how it goes.

[@malcolmharris5277]

I do most of the cooking for me and my partner. I have been eating meat and eggs only for the last two weeks and have cooked for both of us several times in the same period. I find that changing eating patterns is a fundamental choice I make, the several times in my life that I have done this - I'm 63 now - and the most recent change took around 4 months waiting to get into the right headspace for the switch to be flicked to set me into a new pattern. You may find, as I have, that if you allow this switch to flip over, you will have no temptation whatsoever to eat your partner's veg. Last night I cooked lamb chops for both of us, but served hers with buttered white cabbage and carrots. They looked and smelled great, but I had zero interest in them, just because of this mindset. Good luck with whichever path you follow and I wish you success.

@becoming_superhuman I know what means being a food addict. And I know that moderation for me does not work well just like for you.

I actually found eating rice is better for me, I don’t eat a lot, just small portions I only eat it once per day, fish and chicken for other meal. I went from 3 meals to two small ones Some people I know eat one meal, I think it’s based on personal preference and what works for you I do believe everything in moderation
