@BigDan Congrats !!!!
Jan 1, 2024 I was at 234 lbs.
As of this morning, I am 198.4 lbs.
I used the simple, tried and true, factually backed knowledge that has been around for ages.
It isn't about the <insert macro nutrient here> it never has been. It is about Calories In vs Calories Out, and MOVEMENT.
Here is a simple formula for anyone to use.
Choose your ideal weight you want to be. Let's say 200 lbs. Multiply that by 12. that gives you the amount of calories you need to eat to maintain that specific weight in a day. If you want to lose weight to get to 200, eat less than that amount.
200 x 12 = 2,400 (calories). to maintain 200lbs.
eating less than 2,400 calories in a day and by moving around (approx. 10,000 steps a day, which is a 60mins of walking) you will lose weight. (unless you have a serious medical condition that affects your overall body's metabolic ability.)
You are spot on, it's really not that hard to lose weight naturally and maintain, when you make lifestyle changes and understand how it all works for "most people". My god daughter just got back from a 2 week trip to Japan, she said that not a single obese person was seen on her entire trip in terms of the Japanese natives, but saw plenty of obese vacationers there. Overall it's the food choices that we make day in and day out and being remotely active, and we are no question being slowly poisoned with big pharma meds/environmental/additives/preservatives/toxins and a sedentary lifestyle. We are hardcore living in the world of instant gratification and instant results.........reality just doesn't work that way, nor will doing such last very long. I am 52 years old and haven't looked or felt this good since college, and truthfully.......it hasn't been that hard to do nor have I sacrificed much in the big scheme of things. Way to go with your getting healthier, we need all the advantages we can get these days in order to stay above ground and out of the medical institutions.
