5lbs a month is a good goal. I'm working on about 7 or so. We'll see. This one's probably gonna go slower than the initial drop.

    Re: Weight Loss Thread

    Been working out on the bike quite a bit, eating a lot better, and I'm down maybe 15 pounds in a little over a month. Kinda slowed down a lot this last week after my concussion (couldn't exercise for a week) but today was my first day back on the bike in a week. Did 30 mins today, then 10 mins in the steam room. Felt real good to be doing some cardio work again, looking forward to dropping another 15 so I can enlist in the navy.

    Re: Weight Loss Thread

    I got fat this winter so I started dieting/exercising the day after Valentines day. I'm down 9 pounds and 9 more to go. I've plateaued but I'm hoping that some of that is because I've added some muscle.

    I'm all about counting calories. Keeps me responsible to not have that one extra beer, or one beer at all.

    Re: Weight Loss Thread

    I posed this in the weightlifting thread but I'll ask here too:

    My diet has never been spectacular, not bad just not perfect. I eat lots of vegetables, fruits and stick to turkey or chicken. Don't eat too much greasy/fried foods but you gotta treat yourself sometimes.

    Saying that it's remained pretty consistent but the only thing I've changed is every morning for breakfast I eat a bowl of oats with raisins and honey. Gives me the energy to make it to lunch. But lately I've really noticed my waistline expanding. Granted, I lift weights and drink protein shakes every day but is the oatmeal causing my waist to expand or do I need to more closely monitor my cheat days?

    i dont think oatmeal is the problem. if anything, adding a low-calorie and healthy breakfast would help increase your metabolism. i would look closer at what else you're eating. a lot of people believe that they eat "junk food" in moderation, not realizing that half of the stuff they are eating is highly processed, has a high sugar content, etc. there has been a lot of research on how regular consumption of just a small amount of lower-quality foods can affect weight change overtime (one study found that over 20 years, people that were eating ONE serving of potato chips a day, which is probably like 150 calories, gained about 20 lbs).

    a general rule of thumb is the 2nd-ingredient rule- start checking out the ingredients on the back of cereals, granola bars, etc that you might eat. if refined sugar (corn syrup, fructose, dextrose, etc) is one of the first 2 ingredients listed, consider having something else.

    another major thing is to check your portion sizes (measure out oil when cooking, etc). you could be adding a lot of calories to a salad by adding too much dressing

    in general, i think you are much better off having a small healthy breakfast and trying to adjust other parts of your diet, and i think that will help you get to where you want to be

    Re: Weight Loss Thread

    I'm back on the weight loss horse. Dropped a ton of weight two years ago for my sister's wedding, but have gained some of it back since. I've been doing lots of HIIT training, some weight training, and some steady state cardio. My eating habits are MUCH better lately with lean meats/fish, good carbs, and lots more veggies. Started two weeks ago and this morning put on a pair of pants that I couldn't even button when I started. Only thing that sucks is I pulled a muscle in my calf doing high knees so my HIIT workouts have been scaled back or altered a bit. But it feels great being back on the health kick!

    I've been trying to implement a lot of this over the past month and it really helps a ton. Portion sizes particularly. You really don't need a third, or usually even a second, slice of pizza. I've been a fast water my whole life. I've focused on slowing down eating, and I find I'm actually full halfway before I used to be full. It helps.

    i love research so i apologize for bringing up another study, but this one was pretty interesting. the subjects were men and women (who were not overwight), who were fed a standard breakfast and asked to report their hunger level. an hour later they were shown their favorite food, and then asked again to rate their hunger level. on a separate occasion, they were shown a food that they did not like and were asked to rate their hunger level. it turned out that when they were presented with the appealing food, there was a spike in gherlin (a hunger hormone), and they reported to have an appetite. but they had no appetite and no gherlin spike when they were presented with the unappetizing food.

    it just goes to show that often, when you think you're hungry, you really aren't. being able to differentiate between real hunger and head hunger is a helpful skill for anyone, but particularly people that want to lose weight.

    and about the pizza example, that is completely true. i think a major reason why a lot of people overeat is because they are eating what they intended to eat. we predict how much food we will need to eat during work, so we bring that amount and habitually eat that amount. there are also the social factors- we are trained how much to eat by restaurants serving us, packaged food portions, etc. whether a bag of pretzels has 15 pretzels or 35 pretzels, we are most likely going to finish the entire bag. (this is also a cultural thing- americans tend to eat everything on their plate, while the french tend to just stop when they are full).

    so a helpful trick might be to intend on eating smaller portions. but if you can figure out how to eat only when you are actually hungry, and not just out of habit (because its 3pm and that's when you normally have a snack, or because it's sunday ngiht football so that's when you normally get a bag of chips out, or because mcdonalds gave you fries with yout sandwich).... i think that is the key to long term success. and like you said, slowing down would definitely help bring awareness to how full you feel.

    of course, with many things, easier said than done.



    and sorry for the long post

    It's insane how little you actually need to eat to feel full vs how much we usually eat.

    I agree that portion control is a lot of that. I really struggle with that. I have no problem sitting down and eating two Subway footlongs. I have a huge appetite to begin with but especially after I've just finished working out.

    Last year I got serious about it and really worked on eating smaller portions and I ate about half of what I normally do and quickly learned I wasn't hungry at that point. I wasn't full but I wasn't hungry anymore. There's a big difference between the two. I think we've become accustomed to feeling full rather feeling not hungry anymore.

    As mentioned, easier said than done.

    Re: Weight Loss Thread

    Ive been keeping a food journal religiously... pretty eye popping when you actually track EVERYTHING that goes in your mouth. Only thing I do not record is plain water.

    A question though....

    I am a 27 year old white male, currently 203 lbs, about 5'7". Wnating to get to under 200....ideally 180. Ive realized through the food journaling that it is incredibly easy to consume upwards of 3000 calories a day (which I try very hard not to do). My diet consists of what I consider fairly healthy, although sometimes high calorie foods, but with a low fat content. Some examples of a lot of my staples are:

    White rice, boiled: 660 Calories in a cup, cooked.
    Pomegranate juice- 150 calories in 8 OZ (twice as many as most sodas)

    I also eat a ton of chicken (boneless/skinless, on the George Foreman), canned tuna, boiled eggs, cereal (Wheaties)and yogurts.

    Ive been having one hell of a time shedding pounds. Lost about 50 lbs two years ago when I got divorced and was just not eating out of sadness, but im in a better place now so I eat like normal lol.

    Does eating a higher calorie diet, but very low in fat promote weight loss, or is it seriously just a numbers game when it comes to calories?

    Obviously, I feel a lot better about eating a cup of white rice than eating a BigMac, but the calories are similar.....

    Does it work this way or am I kidding myself?

    Brown rice instead of white rice. White rice isn't going to help you lose weight and isn't healthy. It'll have less sodium and fat than a Big Mac so it can be healthier from that perspective.

    I'd also ditch any high sugar fruit juice, regardless of how healthy it is. Fruits should be consumed in physical form so that they at least fill you up a little bit.

    I tend to limit my fruit intake when dieting because the calories from sugar just aren't worth it.

    Veggies. Complex Carbs. Chicken.

    what's your average daily calorie intake? Do you have a sedentary job? How often are you working out?

    I am a 27 year old white male, currently 203 lbs, about 5'7". Wnating to get to under 200....ideally 180. Ive realized through the food journaling that it is incredibly easy to consume upwards of 3000 calories a day (which I try very hard not to do). My diet consists of what I consider fairly healthy, although sometimes high calorie foods, but with a low fat content. Some examples of a lot of my staples are:

    White rice, boiled: 660 Calories in a cup, cooked.
    Pomegranate juice- 150 calories in 8 OZ (twice as many as most sodas)

    I also eat a ton of chicken (boneless/skinless, on the George Foreman), canned tuna, boiled eggs, cereal (Wheaties)and yogurts.

    Ive been having one hell of a time shedding pounds. Lost about 50 lbs two years ago when I got divorced and was just not eating out of sadness, but im in a better place now so I eat like normal lol.

    Does eating a higher calorie diet, but very low in fat promote weight loss, or is it seriously just a numbers game when it comes to calories?

    Obviously, I feel a lot better about eating a cup of white rice than eating a BigMac, but the calories are similar.....

    Does it work this way or am I kidding myself?
    This is what worked for me:

    1. Cut out carbs, especially those that don't have a high fiber content. No more soda, juices, white breads, potatoes, rice, etc. Fruits are deceptively high in sugar.

    2. Drink less beer. This one is tough.

    3. Eat a light breakfast - if you must have some carbs or fiber, this is the meal to eat it.

    4. Light lunch. I stopped eating meat during lunch. Mostly ate salads, soup, mixed nuts, etc.

    5. Grilled meat and vegetable for dinner. Again, limit the carbs. Don't eat too late. No dessert.

    I also run about 3 times a week. For me, simple carbs are way worse than high fat. I gave myself some more leniency during the weekends. You need to be able to reward yourself a little bit. It's a lot easier once you get past the first week.

    Calorie intake on a daily basis swings from 1500-2500 on average, with obviously some anomaly days.

    I work in a bank, stand all day but otherwise sedentary.

    Try to hit the gym at least twice a week and run at least 1 mile each time im there. I also like riding my bicycle and playing frisbee.

    Far too easy to do... bottle of wine, couple shots and a few beers and thats your daily intake entirely....ugh.

    I've been trying to eliminate carbs recently. It's so tough but I'm seeing a small improvement. Have to eat more protein to compensate because without carbs I definitely notice I'm hungrier, but I don't think any dietitian would have a problem with replacing carbs with protein.
