Very nice. I used to weight almost 300 pounds and now I'm 186. You're taking the right path, but I'd just like to add that it's not necessary to cut all fats out completely. Just reduce the amount you take. If you are eating healthy and decent portions, naturally your diet should already be low in fat. Fat isn't all bad for you.

You're doing a great job as far as I can tell. Eventually, you will have to push harder with the exercise which you're already doing. Don't ever give up and trust me, when you reach your goal, you are gonna feel and look amazing and feel good about yourself when other people notice.

I've already told him multiple times fat isn't necessarily bad for you, but he just seems to have ignored it.

I just didn't reply to you, I don't cut out fats entirely now.

Ah, fair enough then.

What does that mean? I ask because the ideal diet for weight loss is arguably minimizing carbs as much as possible, getting in your required protein intake for your bodyweight, and then making up the rest of your calories in fat. This obviously isn't going to be what you're doing if you're just not cutting them out "entirely", but you're still eating barely anything containing much fat.

Well I eat protein foods and smart ones which are good. I don't go the day starving so I am eating enough. I mean I took your advice I just didn't reply. Sorry about that

That could mean any number of things.

Good, but I'm concerned with what you're eating, not how much.

Well I am not gonna type up a list but anyone with the knowledge of google can look up what good foods to eat so just trust I know what I am doing.

There's an abundance of retarded nutritional advice out there. For example, I bet the vast majority of weight loss advice out there on google tells you to "eat lots of whole grains" which is shitty advice. So go ahead and tell me what sort of stuff you're eating.

I start the day with special k(lol rhyme), then for lunch I eat like protein bars and a shake, and water def. For dinner I eat salad or fish or chicken. For a snack I love cantaloupe and honeydew.

I don't think I could make you a worse breakfast if I tried.

As in a protein shake? Protein bars and shakes are meant to be supplements to your diet, not components of an entire meal.

ZachG wrote:

If you mean salad and fish or chicken this is actually pretty good.

Good thing I didn't just take your word for it when you said you had a good diet.

ZachG · Sep 6th 2010, 1:32pm

Well I have lost weight so I am not changing anything. If I wasn't losing weight then theres a problem. And sometimes it is both salad and fish. My hyper tension is under control to now.

The fact that you're not completely screwing things up is hardly justification fo eating a very sub-par diet.

Ok, well. I think you have to realize that weight is not the only aspect to your 'health'. Nutrition is just as important, if not even more so. Because you can stop losing weight at any time, and then still be completely unhealthy. They go hand in hand.

Also, your weight will stop going down at some point. Why? Because your metabolism gets used to what you're doing to your body, and adjusts accordingly to preserve more energy. That doesn't mean start eating less fats. That means increase your energy spent, and maintain a healthy diet. Organics, fruits, vegetables. Nothing fake. That's health. realize that 'losing weight' and 'getting healthy' are not the same thing.

Great, but remember the most important reason you are losing weight is to be healthy. Having lost weight doesn't necessarily mean you are eating the right foods that are healthy for your body. I can starve myself for a few days and lose weight, but that doesn't mean it's okay.

Hmm, great log!
I should start walking more lol

I usually jog in the gym and gets me tired, but walking might work

I'm 123 lbs - 5'4" and want to get down to around 110 lbs getting the 6pac to show more clearly

ZachG · Sep 26th 2010, 2:57pm

ZachG · Oct 2nd 2010, 3:26pm

Woot down to 215. 35 more to go till I reach my goal. Been working upper body with my new whip so that along with jogging and walking has really helped.
