i am now at the point where i dont care what the scale says i am looking at gains i make in training like time and weight doing certain things. I have been trying to follow a keto diet but it is hard but i like being able to eat lots of protein

 

[deleted member]

no ex lax. very strict diet low calorie diet. but, its really amazing how much food you can pack into 1000 calories when you are careful about what you are eating.

Just be careful. That's really not healthy unless you are very small. If you lost that much weight that fast, you're probably dehydrated too.

wow a 1000 is low. I am at 2700 ish with only low clean carbs no sugar and high in proteins and fats. I am not gaining any weight but i can tell muscle mass is up and feel alot leaner. I am bouncing right around 171 to 169. Throwing 60 pounds in the pack and doing 100 step ups on a 18" box is getting alot easier.

Kurt down on the Mexican border I seen guys carrying silver bags just like in your picture. I had no idea they were on a training and weight loss regimen.

 

[Kurtr]

well i should clarify... average since i started is about 1150/day according to the counter i use. but, i've been under 1000 5 or 6 times in 16 days. the weekends have been closer to 1500+. i got an app and entered a starting weight and height with my goal of losing 25 pounds in 12 weeks with a little exercise and it gave me a daily calorie intake goal of 1750 to meet my 25 pound weight loss goal.

once i started paying close attention to what i eat, it wasn't so hard to stay under that. in fact, it became pretty easy to stay at 1200. it sounds crazy i know. i never would've imagined. but, i do eat throughout the day. in fact, i probably eat more regularly now then i ever did before. i used to regularly skip breakfast (almost always) and lunch (depending on my work schedule).

here is a typical day... 1 multi vitamin and oatmeal plain - 150 calories for breakfast; 1 hard boiled egg at about 11 AM to curb the cravings - 75; 1 can of tuna or some other protein for lunch - 100 calories; another egg mid afternoon - 75 calories... so, that's 400 calories throughout the day. assuming i find something else worthwhile to eat or eat something else low calorie for lunch instead of tuna, you can add 100 calories to that... that's 500 calories going into the evening with lots of water, coffee and/or tea.

frankly, it feels like i am eating pretty well for supper. things like steamed spinach, lettuce salads, beets, shrooms, asparagus, onions, carrots, any vegetable really, etc. have very few calories but can fill you up fast. maybe a homemade vegetable & protein (chicken or beef) soup of some kind. regardless, i always have another protein of some sort (chicken, beef or fish) mixed in for supper. if you just use seasonings sans butter or oil your good. its the addtions that add up the calories. things like dressings and oil if you are cooking stuff... hell, there are 120 calories in 1 tablespoon of olive oil... that's 6x the amount that's actually in the salad its covering or twice the amount in the vegetables you might be frying in it. so, other than a small amount of italian on my salad, i've nixed most of that stuff too. my vegetable stir fry medley dishes are seasoning, protein and water (to steam and/or deglaze) only. might wash it all down with a glass of buttermilk.

even with what feels like a "good" supper, i will regularly still be under 1000 after supper. that leaves plenty of room for some 6-8 busch lights. on tuesday fun night or on the weekends when ice fishing and maybe a small protein or apple for bedtime snack. and that doesn't account for any good exercise that might burn 500+ of those calories which i've finally started partaking in

reflecting on the last couple of weeks, it appears the key things that i've cut are carbs and sugars. it was really not by intent initially. but, came as a result of checking calorie content via my app and then not eating them. the cravings are difficult sometimes. but, really only when that stuff in my presence now. and i know the first 4-5 pounds were fluff and maybe a bit of bloat. but, the rest feels like a healthy loss up to this point since i know i am well hydrated. probably more so than i've ever been. and i feel relatively healthy. so, i ain't worried that i'm losing it too fast just yet. i will work on putting some muscle back on once i get down to around 190ish (started at 225).

moral of the story? no effing clue.

kind of incorperating part of it in with the other kettle bells and the mountain tactical fitness and hiking. The simple and sinister gets to repetitive for me. I have put together my own little program from videos on how to do exercise from the mountain tactical that has more variety and feel is better suited to improve performance out west

- - - Updated - - -

For breakfast it is 4 or 5 eggs and some bacon or ham

snack is tuna or another protein at 10 ish

lunch is chicken or a lean protein and some veggies or a sweet potato

snack at 3 protein / whey supplement

supper is hard because i got the whole family but try to eat lean meat like deer or elk and some veggies but pasta is my carb killer.

energy is way up and i feel better than ever

Kurt, you gotta get in shape to carry that rifle you built in the elk mountains. Me, I'm gonna cut some weight by getting the Kimber. Everything else is ready to rock.

 

[Kurtr]

That is a fact. The Kifaru gun bearer is the best thing since sliced bread. Walked that big walk in from the promise road to trail city with 60 pounds in the pack and the rifle in the gun bearer other than tired legs after 9.49 miles I felt pretty good. Tough to find any hills here though that compare to our first hike up granite mountain. Haha

 

[DJE]

I've dropped 30 lbs in the last 7 weeks. Down to 192 as of this morning.

 

[tikkalover]

You guys are making me tired, and hungry just by reading this. :;:smokin ;:;boozer

 

[Rizzo]

Well I seem to be going backwards. Was down to 189 now up to 200 this morning. I cut out most junk food and increased protein intake. Exercise has been high rep and very low weight on top of all the walking, climbing and heavy lifting my job requires.

 

[BrokenBackJack]

208 as of right now, started Feb. 1st at 244. 180 looks a long ways away yet but hope it goes fast. Man every other commercial on TV at night is food.......
Boy does a hamburger and fries sound good and ice cream!

 

[Kurtr]

I am right at 172 ish bounce around about 3 pounds either way. Really starting to ramp up the work out to get ready for out west. I posted this in the getting in shape group also but if you want to get the legs burning and burn some major calories give this a shot.
