Getting Unstuck (My Battle with Weight Loss)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ก.ย. 2024
- I've been stuck for a long time now. My weight loss has stalled, and I'm not happy with where I am. Time to make a few changes and get back to Carnivore Basics.
Keep in mind, I am not a physician or nutritionist. Before embarking on the Carnivore Diet (or any other diet) you should consult a physician to see what is best for your individual needs.
Find me everywhere I am on the Internet here: timchilders.bi....
I started this channel in order to document life as it gets lived. It's about where I live, how I live, where I travel, why I travel, and so much more. Eclectic is a good word for the content to be found here. I hope you will come along for the ride!
I am a 61 year old vegetarian (and an educator) who will probably NEVER give up coffee! I enjoy watching your videos. 😊
Here is food for thought: Watch some movies from the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s. You will rarely see any people in the movie with a weight problem. Focus on the portion sizes they consume when you see, for instance, a scene taking place in a diner. Small (6 oz.) cups of coffee, usually black, small pieces of bread with a little meat in between the slices, or if it’s a dinner, one slice of meatloaf, a small scoop of mashed potatoes, and a little serving of green beans. If they have dessert, they might get a small slice of apple pie. If anyone ordered eggs, the eggs were what today would be considered small to medium, not the extra large we take for granted. People ate 3 meals a day, but they were all small servings. Back then people walked to stores, walked on their lunch hours, kids played outside all afternoon even in cold weather, moms were forever moving around cleaning house. The answer to being trim is: eat small portions of protein, carbs and fat at each meal, and move around a lot. It has taken me 71 years to finally realize this. Hope this helps.
Interesting observations, @lindacannella6611 🕊
Where's the veggies
@@pamelabaugh9432 a little serving of green beans!!
not in carnivore...@@pamelabaugh9432
People were skinny in the 80's as well. America has too much fast food- it's disgusting...fattening... artery clogging... and WAY too much sodium for anybody.
I have lost 120 lbs. Doing low carb and meat with intermittent fasting. Keep up the work. 61 years old !
You are funny Tim. You made me laugh out loud when you said you were going to get unstuck right at the beginning. The way you said it, hilarious!!! Also funny about the coffee. Lol
Coffee is not negotiable ❤
Good luck with the 30 days Tim. A report just out saying 5000 steps a day is just as beneficial as 10000 so don’t beat yourself up if you don’t manage your 10000 a day.
Exactly and for many older people even the 4,000 mentioned is great! So many don’t even get in 1,000 steps a day.
I am a sugar eater. I stopped added sugar 3 months ago, and have lost 15 pounds without effort. My energy is through the roof, and my Winnie the Pooh stomach has flattened. I do think a fatty liver was my issue, storing all kinds of sugar and causing bloat. Good going Tim!
I do have a non alcoholic fatty liver and sugar was definitely an issue
You can do it! 60 yr male here. I'm a happy weight now and I've kept to it (77 kg; 1.83 m; BMI 23.0) but four years ago I was 105 kg (BMI 31.4) and honestly, while some people can feel healthy like that, I didn't feel good carrying the weight around. The key thing for me has been consistency. That made more difference than anything else. For me a carnivore diet doesn't make much sense but I guess we're all different. Eat a variety, mostly plants, and always good quality. 3 meals a day and, for me, *never* snack -- lol one snack session could ruin a day, so never snack. Whatever you do, enjoy the process! 🙂👍👍
Great to hear what has worked, thank you!!!
At 76, female, my husband's retirement and expecting a large dinner every night that i prepare...weight became an issue. Caring for him and my 96 year old mother, i have simply neglected myself! South Beach diet is one I go back to, similar to Mediteranian diet, avoiding bad carbs. However, with age i discovered at my last weight loss attempt, I did best when I also counted calories. Im simply unmotivated to do that at this time. But I'm determined to be more active, lose weight. We need to care for ourselves, period. I wish you health! Success!
I would renegotiate your husbands expectations. Take as much control of your life that you can or feel comfortable doing. Good luck.
No matter where life takes me I will never give up coffee!! 😊
I am getting unstuck. I like that. I have been losing weigh and nearly to my goal. I am going on a 30 days plan with you. My plan is to do 10,000 steps a day for 30 days and see what happens and I will check back in. Let’s get unstuck for the next 30 days!!!!
Good luck. Just turned 82 and trying to lose 10 pounds without giving up everything I like. So I ride my bicycle everyday for 30 minutes and try to limit portion size.
Stay aware of these and eventually you will get there... good luck!
Coconut milk works great in coffee, smoothies, and cooking as a substitute for dairy. The good news is it doesn’t change the flavor and does not taste like coconut. Good luck in your weight loss journey.
i lost weight by eating salads (sometimes i add cashws, other times i had shrimp, or chicken or i cut up some sandwich meat) and walking. I started walking one mile and then upped to to two and then three. the weight magically started dropping off. sometimes i skip a day of eating as well. you can make salads really tasty if you are imaginative. add spicey meatballs if you like spicey, add peanuts, cashews, cheese, bacon bits, use a delicious salad dressing (i even use ranch and thousand island). i refuse to use dietary or healthy salad dressings. great video! change the salad type to. use iceberg, then use kale, then used spinach leaves.....throw in a couple boiled eggs, some sargines, make it delicious!! GREAT VIDEO. i love walking. and i don't walk fast. i enjoy my walk. i look at the clouds and the trees and if i have to think, i only recall fun memories of the past. it makes me feel so fun!
Coffee...hug in a mug...I enjoy the cream. Dairy has stalled me as well. Choices, choices.
Getting into thermogenesis /Ketosis is the plateau breaker. And also, you're spot on again as usual, regarding the insulin. Intermittent Fasting is another key. I do the 2 meals a day, one is small and the other is a bit larger. It works.
Keep trying.
same here! works for me!
Good luck to you on your quest. I am a 75 yo 6'5" male and I went from 420 pounds 6 years ago to 290 today. My goal is 250. Problem is I too am stuck and I have more loose skin than I care to admit to that would be impossible to lose wo/ surgery (no thank you to that). I lost the majority of my weight by intermittent fasting (18:6). I eat reasonably sized portions, count the calories (1500-1800 a day) and I include veg and fruits daily. Carrying around excess weight most of my life has played havoc on my body, mostly in my knees. So after talking to my orthopedist and cardiologist, I am doing the treadmill at Planet Fitness 4-5 times a week for 25-30 minutes. That alone gets me 5k steps and with the general life walking about for the week I average 6.5k per day. With my knees that is an accomplishment. Anyways, I too have been stuck in a 2-3 pound up and down range so I feel your pain on that. So maybe my trips to Planet Fitness might help.
My son is on that journey now… same as what you’re doing and has lost 20 lbs so far! Great job for him and for you too🤗
I’m with you! I lost 10 lbs quickly on that diet. After a 2 month camping vacation, I’m back on it!
Vegan with oily fish works for me. Very limited sugar. No cravings, very little snacking. This carnivore diet has to be a shocker for cholesterol levels and fibre needs?
I am right there with you in this one. 65 just retired under active and a snacker. I will be following your progress with interest. I will also join you on this and check back in with you on your next update.
Oh, I love this idea. I'm at 244 right now. I'll also share my progress in the comments of Tim's next diet video.
I'm 66 and I do my own intermittent fasting. I wake up around 6:30/7:00 and have a cup of hot water. Then around 8:00/8:30 I have breakfast, either eggs or oatmeal with fruit and nuts. Lunch around 12:30 and dinner with my husband around 4:30/5:00. Then nothing after dinner and we are usually in bed around 8:30/9:00. This works for me. I'm not trying to lose weight but I maintain my weight which is healthy for my age and height.
Kudos to you for taking your health in charge! You can absolutely do this! I am rooting for you! I wonder if you have ever seen dr. Annette Boz, dr. Boz, here on youtube. She talks about keto and fasting, but also a lot more, there is a lot about mindset, which I am convinced is the game changer (isn't it in all things?) she gives a lot of lessons around insulin, and health in general, blood tests, and it's worth looking into. I am still figuring things out for myself, and I believe we each need to find what fits our life and our body, I look into a lot of different approaches. So while my big challenge is clutter, that is my battle, I am also working on my health and my eating habits. take care. 🌷
I think cutting out dairy and snacking, and getting more movement in your daily life will definitely show you some improvement in your weight loss. It might not be as much as you like, but slow and steady always wins. Looking forward to seeing your progress. 😊
Looking forward to your weight loss journey report. In today’s society of great abundance we as Westerners struggle with healthy eating choices.
55 year old vegan here. I intermittent fast doing 18:6 which has helped enormously with the middle age bloating. I try and keep active with my allotment garden and I cycle to work too.
18:6 has made me feel young again and i am 59! my belly has gone down, my energy increased, without a belly i stand up straight. i added small amounts of weight lifting and bench press. LOVE IT! 18:6 ROCKS!
You nailed it all. I felt every word you said about needing to eat while watching TV. I'm going to try to correct my eating too. Good luck! -Lety from Chicago
I've fallen back into the snacking and tv lately. I'm not a good knitter but for the sake of breaking my snacking habit I'll knit.
Carnivore here also at age 68. Not ready to give up coffee with heavy cream though.

☕️ Wishing you much success, and glad for you that you’ve found a method that works for you. Engaging your audience promotes both accountability and support for your efforts - good thinking! 👍
I’m 69. I am a vegan (whole food plant based) for ethical reasons and also incorporated intermittent fasting (for health reasons). At our age, no matter what kind of food we consume- I find that our body (and metabolism) is very stubborn when trying to reach our ideal weight. IF has helped me tremendously- good luck tweaking your eating/ exercise plan.
So wonderful to see other vegans around my age 😊 My health improved drastically when I went vegan. I'm trying to move more towards whole food. Giving up processed stuff is hard.
I am vegan too! I have a meat eating twin sister (we share same DNA) and she needs to be on the standard American meds, I don't prefer that method.
I am what I call a modified vegan. I have to watch sodium and protein. I lost over 10% of my body weight in 4 months. I drink 64 ounces of water a day which in itself is suppose to help lose weight. I feel like I am always eating as well as I am always hungry but we do what we have to for good health.
Try weighing youself every morning. If you weight goes up, or you are outside of your happy range then you need to be good for 24 hours and cut out the snacking. Once you are back in the range you have a licence to be naughty (within reason). As you've noticed, there is a correlation between boredom and snacking, so keeping busy helps. Have a pact with yourself to reach for a glass of water before reaching for the snacks. Atomic Habits by James Clear recommends that to break bad habits, make them harder to do. So put the snacks on the top shelf of the kitchen where you need to get the step ladder to reach them.
Good Luck! I hope you become unstuck 🙂! I made significant dietary changes June 2022 (IF & low carb) and thrilled with the results. I also practice yoga daily and CrossFit a couple days a week…I’m 67, if I can do it anyone can 🙂
Good luck! I would go back to black coffee, even understanding why you are doing it. Tip/ when watching TV at night turn sound off during commercials. Those food commercials kill me while dieting. That’s what they are supposed to do. ❤
Best wishes on your weight loss journey. Just adding the extra activity, or steps would likely help with weight loss. The two things it does are get you away from the refrigerator and stimulates your mind. The endorphins boost your mood and make you feel good. Thank you for taking us along on your journey.
Best of luck.I had to eliminate red meat from my diet because it triggers Rheumatoid Inflammation.I stick to white meats, Fish, and vegetables Etc
you will get there...eventually! keep on it!
🫶🏻
Coffee is life! No judgement from me. Wishing you success on your weight loss journey.
I’m also carnivore- so I’m interested in your journey.
I can’t do dairy anymore, seems to cause inflammation for me. I don’t snack at all. And I eat 2 meals a day. I also have an 8 hour eating window each day.😄 I’m looking forward to your results😄
And please remember that putting an egg and butter in your coffee starts your eating window, if you’re concerned with that.
Happy to find a co-eater!
Good luck with your weight loss! It's funny, I started your video and I knew exactly what you were doing...I even have the same electric frother. I make "Bulletproof Coffee". I have been on carnivore for about 2 months, and I have stalled. Pretty much from the exact things you mentioned. Too much dairy (heavy cream in my coffee and I love cheese) and snacking. So, I'm taking the same route you are...the BBB&E. I'm 70, retired 3 years ago (forced due to Covid's effect on my industry), and then I got into some bad habits with my bourbon...I came to my senses, gave up alcohol and started hiking. I hiked 2,000 miles with a 20 lb backpack. Before carnivore, I had gone from 210 down to 180. Then my weight started to creep up, so I started Carnivore at 188. I'm down to 178, losing 8 lbs the first 2 weeks, but now I've stalled. My goal is 150. I really like your channel, as there have been other things that have resonated with me...simplifying, decluttering, finding what's essential, etc. I'll be curious to see more on how your carnivore journey goes. All the best, and thanks for your channel and videos!
Yep. I relate to 4am mornings. I will sometimes get a short nap later, which helps.
I'm 64 and turning 65 in November. I applaud you for recognizing and doing something to curb your weight. I hope in addition to the food change you find a way to increase physical activity. I used to run but I grew tired (and sore!) after many years. I now walk 5-6 days a week. To help me walk I listen to podcasts and audiobooks on my phone. I use the Libby app which enables me to borrow audiobooks via my county library. listening enables me to log miles without realizing the distance while listening. I hope you can find a way to increase your step count and, incorporate weight training as well. All the best!
My Naturopath told me to stop all dairy including butter (which seemed insurmountable at first but I got used to it pretty quickly) and to reduce the fat I eat dramatically (so no beef, bacon or egg yolks). Weight started dropping fast and I'm 63. Eating low fat keto will not harm you for a few months and it will get the weight moving. IF is also very helpful. I put nut milk in my one coffee per day which is obviously not carnivore but it makes it doable for me. Good luck!
66 year old female here. Been on keto for over a year and I can totally relate on the cheese issue. I eat this way mainly to improve my metabolic health and it works for me. Great tips on preparing the roast.
You had me at Bourbon. Good luck on carnivore. I’ve been living a keto/low carb lifestyle for almost 4 years and still enjoy it. What I’d love to know is what bourbon did you find that has no carbs? Enjoying your videos.
Bourbon, whiskey, vodka and other hard spirits have zero carbs.
Good going. So proud of you. Coffee is good for us. Cheering you on
Best of luck on this journey!
Hi Tim, wishing you well on your weight loss journey. I am also trying to lose weight, but it isn't easy is it as we get older? I put on most of my weight after my husband died, and I was eating more for comfort. I am seriously considering intermittent fasting as I attempt to lose weight. Hopefully this will be more achievable as we head into the spring/summer months soon!
So very difficult trying to reverse a lifetime of habit. I'm 65. Lost almost 40 of the 75 I need. Mostly lower carb not Keto. Got rid of the junk for a while but never could let go of coffee with creamer even when I was doing my best. Reintroduced much higher carbs and junk. Gained about 20 back. I feel your pain! Good luck!:)
I'm cheering you on! You can do it!!!
Great video - pls keep em coming. Santa Barbara 09/06 7:45 am pst
Good Morning Neighbor☕I drink coffee so I can think & form words.😊 Playing music that I have to get up & dance to helps me. Makes me happy & burns calories. Good luck with your journey!
Good luck on your weight loss journey! I struggle with weight myself. It is mainly due to lack of consistency and the fact that I am an emotional eater. Ugh.
👀not me...🤪 yes me too!
Thanks for sharing, Tim!
You got this! 😊
73yo and retired for 3 years. It’s rough. I am a grazer. From the time I get up until the final tooth brushing I nibble my way through the day. I do LCHF and keeps my snacks within those parameters but calories are calories.
Like your videos . Keeping it real .
Coffee is essential for morning! Good luck
Yap..that's something I will never quit
All the best on your weight loss journey.
No judgement for the coffee!😂 I am currently trying intermittent fasting and it has helped greatly! I am trying to cut carbs but that has been hard. I have read so many success stories on a carnivore eating plan and am looking forward to seeing how you like it and seeing how it works for you!
One my sister in laws lost over 60 pounds fasting. You got this!
Also consciously try just drinking a full glass of water instead of reaching for food snacks when you get the urge😊
I,too,eat when I’m bored.❤
If I was at 215 I would be very happy. 225 would be fine. 244 is not good. 244 is the heaviest I have ever been. Years ago I got to 242 and dieted down to 215 when people told me I looked sick so I started eating again. It might be time to diet again. Good luck with your diet and best wishes for great success!

There is a high correlation between high red meat consumption and increased risk of prostate cancer. Not causation, but a very high correlation. Also a high meat intake effects butyrate production in the lower intestines, this also increases the risk of colon cancer. The carnivore diet is an elimination diet at best. If you want to lose weight, reduce your fat intake, eliminate seed and vegetable oils from your cooking, get an air fryer! Increase oily fish intake for your protein intake, lots of green vegetables. Walk for at least an hour a day, about 4-5 miles, 8000-10,000 steps.
I’m too old to eliminate anything completely I have no promises of a new day❤
wishing you success
Thanks for showing your coffee making! As a suggestion going forward: Please create Playlists. I like to click on playlists in order to watch videos on a topic without having to select each video individually. I guess I’m lazy and just want to watch one after another without me doing the work of choosing! 😂
Great!!!
I’m 55 and vegetarian. The menopause weight (20 extra lbs)+ bloating is downright miserable. I’m working toward being dairy-free but my biggest challenge is CHEESE- it’s my absolute fave food🤷🏼♀️ absolutely will NOT give up coffee… I don’t do well in society without it lol
I work in the public education system. Thank you for sharing your plan and your wisdom!
You are totally right. Its all about portions!!
👍
Thanks for sharing!
😊😊😊
One day at a time my friend. You don't want to overthink this weight management stuff
😃
Carnivore too, 60 yr old woman. I find when I hit a stall I fast: some days 42 hrs and once a quarter 72hr. IF everyday, 18:6. Go to the movies and bring Pork rinds and or Beef Jerky. All the best.
Oh boy, can I ever identify. I’m 74. I have been losing eating lots of protein, but not to the point of carnivore, and 2 meals a day. What really makes that work for me is fasting. I do alternate day fasting. I do have my coffee in the morning, but on Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays I don’t eat at all. Jason Fung has written good books on fasting.
I can sure relate to some of the issues you're dealing with, especially hitting the damned plateau. I was losing weight since this spring at a slow but steady clip until a month ago. I had been limiting my eating window and reducing how much I was eating, increasing the amount of veggies and fruit, avoiding sweets and starches and keeping portions modest. Humming along, feeling hopeful, I just stopped losing rather suddenly, full on brakes. This is a frustrating conundrum as truly, I've not been doing or eating anything differently this month. So, why does it not work now when I'm within 20 pounds of my goal? I don't like to diet, with all its counting and restrictions, but I whatever. I guess I have to face doing without some things and keeping close track. Sigh.
worth it, but not easy...I hear you. keep going, you will get there
Diet Pepsi is my drug of choice. Good luck on your food plan. I put on weight when (about 20 pounds) when I retired, mostly because of the change in activity level and boredom. I managed to take it off, but it took me five years of trial and error to find the solution.
Can you please look at effects of artificial sweeteners? They mind sabotaging your weight loss 😊
You know what to do....good luck❤
❤
I enjoy your no nonsense approach in your videos. I relate to other videos you have made and hope to grab more insights from you! Never too old to learn a new trick.
I am 62. I am figuring to "retire" from the oil patch...still work, however work a less physical job. I've noticed , while there has been a slow down period at work, that I too have slowed my pace around the house. With that being said, I have noticed a little more "profile" in the mirror.
I have been pondering the retirement phase in my life. I have been denying that I am this age and yet I been having more and more colleagues in the patch tell me their "escape plan". They only work part time, be it the winter months ( those golf) or work summers ( hate the cold and go south) and now , it seems it's my turn to figure what I want to do and how to get through the semi retirement transition. I would rather exit on my own terms than be "moved" off as a truck operator. Now that I have took a deep breathe and admitted to myself that it's time, the next phase isn't so scary...
Any diet that doesn’t allow coffee isn’t worth being on!! Also, if you want to get more steps, get a dog. I go to the dog park everyday. It does help although I’m 63 and struggling with the last 5 pounds for years. The new retired me is enjoying watching the New Retired “You”!
Hello Tim, age and boredom is a real problem. Less activity doesn’t help. I am 71 and have found I too seem to teeter. 💕NonnaGrace 🐓
I'm 68 and generally eating a plant-based diet with the odd bit of dairy and some fish. I do Intermittant Fasting - 16:8 and it's had a great overall effect, from weight loss to energy levels. I stop eating at 6 pm, and then don't eat again til 10 am, so I'm sleeping through most of the fast. After the first week (which comes with some cravings), cravings go away and I don't even notice I'm fasting! I end up having 2 meals a day and that's plenty.
Kudos to you! Enjoy the journey!
I’m always searching for that one clincher statement that will help me stop snacking junk food. I started watching Bryan Johnson and he says that part of us that is self destructive ie evening Bryan, wasn’t trustworthy and so he fired him not allowing him to make choices anymore. Trust the data and the science. Only one day trying this for myself. I love the idea.
I love the firing of evening Bryan. Never hear of him but just looked him up.
64 yrs old and retired Jan 2022. I’m in for 30 days too!😄
We all have our own journey and struggles along the way....But...being in the health field ( not yet retired)...I always Rx think " long term" vs trends/fads for long term success ( ex Mediterranean diet). Best of luck.
I had so much more energy after I went vegan and (mostly) stopped eating breakfast. I was overweight or obese my whole life before veganism, but I've been maintaining a bmi of 22-23 for about 8 years and I never feel deprived.
Everything I learned about nutrition as a child was wrong lol. Cursed government lobbyists.
Good luck! Maybe it’ll work for me also… although I’m not overweight at this age I’d still like feel better in my clothes. That’s the tell tale for me! 👍
If you are adding butter and eggs to your morning coffee…you have disrupted your intermittent fasting. It is so difficult to tell others what to do. I am on a low carb plan…I did not adapt this plan for weight loss, but to reduce my AC1. Weight loss was a surprise … I eliminated all sugars, but I did allow some hard cheese and heavy cream when making soups and sauces. Recently I have added 2 tbs of 4% full cottage cheese to my diet. Something I very much missed when I gave up dairy. When I gave up dairy, I gave up heartburn. So far, the small portion of full fat cottage cheese has not disrupted my heartburn. I also allow myself, when luncheon with friends, an enchilada, a taco and a few chips.
Allow yourself a cocktail…hard liquor doesn’t have sugar…it’s the mixes, so drink it straight and enjoy it. I am enjoying your videos…
Yeah, I don’t usually do that quite that early in the morning. I did it for the video. :). I’m trying to eat a little later in the morning in order to get my last meal a little later in the afternoon. I’m only being this strict for 30 days. I’ll cut myself some slack after that. Thanks for the comment!
Most carnivores are coffee drinkers, no judgment LOL. I am in a stall as well, so I just gave up my alcohol for the next 30 days, or more...
Good luck Tim! I’ve been keto for a couple years now. 2 meals a day, intermittent fasting 6-18. When I eat too much cheese it does affect my weight loss journey.
You need to vary your diet- some days keto, some days 150gm carbs, some fast days, some days 3 meals, some days intermittent fasting from 13-18 hours and some days one meal a day.
Metabolic flexibility is the goal
Boy! I get it. I did keto for a year or so. I lost 25 pounds and enjoyed thevdiet. Then at my annual appointment my cholesterol was high and my doctor said that with my low thyroid issues, keto was not right for me. I also was probably eating too much cheese. So I switched to intermittent fasting and was eating 2 meals between 12 noon and 8 at night. So the weight was staying off. Well, a couple of very stressful tax seasons and a coworker/friend dying suddenly during last tax season took care of that. I still don't eat until noon, but all other bets are off. My weight has gone back up. I will find an even keel again, but right now I am thinking of that lovely sherbet in the freezer...
😊good luck
Rooting for you!
I finally stopped dieting and my weight changes settled down. Stopped thinking about it. I do not snack. Rarely eat breakfast or lunch other than black coffee and maybe some nuts or vegetable juice. And really eat only about one meal a day in late afternoon. And I eat all I want around that meal. Anything goes until I am full. But I do eat healthy, mostly organic, and almost no processed foods. I make nearly everything from scratch, like bread. That effort alone burns a lot of calories! And I do not get hungry. My weight just stays constant. Except.......if I eat a lot of desserts!
I saw your comment about not snacking. I'd just written the same thing! I had a decent diet but the snacking was the thing which ruined it -- which was hard to understand because the snacks didn't seem to be a problem -- but they were!
@@Grunfeld Thats great! Snacking certainly can undermine things. I now eat almost anything within reason and do not sweat the calories or fat content. Sugar though is something I do try to limit. I also avoid bad fats like canola oil, margarine, i.e. give me real butter and lard! And eggs! Heavy cream!
No snacking no processed foods exercise? I gave up alcohol...
Been low carb/keto, now carnivore since 6/2021. Gave up sugar, potatoes, bread, rice, corn tortilla chips and seed oils. Lost my covid 20 lbs but now I'm stuck too. Eat 2mad, 6/18 or 8/16. Try to eat when hungry stop before too full. I don't snack. Recently thyroid over/under treated. Hopefully we are all still healthiER than we were even if stalled. Still must have coffee first.
Diet culture is insidious. We weigh what we weigh. Eat a balanced diet that includes all foods, mostly whole at regular meals. Including vegetables. Hunger is a signal from your body that it needs nutrients.
looking forward to 30days update, how about doing some of those lovely walks to waterfalls or woods in your area that you showed on previous videos....that will get your steps up....this diet is toooooo restrictive...but each to their own...
Brave man. It takes a lot to open up about personal challenges. Lack of movement is my biggest issue. I work from home and spend way too much time sitting in front of a computer. Also I recognise the boredom problem. How will you overcome that part of the equation as that’s my problem. Good luck and keep up the videos.
Tim, been there, done that, not doing it at the moment :( Heck no, dont give up the coffee, you'll need that to get those 10K steps. Egg yolk in my pour over, hmmm, have not tried that one. Have done the butter, yummy,
Im 35 years old and a woman and most of my adult life ive been a comfortable 132lbs, but since my sister died/I had two babies back to back, Ive put on some weight (im now 148/150) i have been struggling like hell to get off. I exercise every single day, i never binge eat, i eat a lot of fruit and veg and drink a ton of tea and water. Dont snack. Not sure why my body wont shed the excess, but im also thankful im still a size 4/6. Getting older definitely changed my body and ability to lose as quickly.
