Weight loss

[platinum87]

Yeah… no.

I’m eating 200g of carbs a day and losing body fat.

200g is not that much, the average person eats far more and its why they are fat.

Exercise actually has very little to do with weight loss unless you do in insane amount.
Eating is the main thing to change.

I guess I would ask what 'insane' is? I cycled 50 mins to an hour, 5 or 6 days a week as well as lowering my calories in and the weight dropped off, but more importantly, I got a lot fitter.

I'm 6 3 and currently about 13 and a half stone. I've always been a skel, and weighed just under 13 stone going into covid and was happy with that. I am not taking the mick here- we all have our own target.

I went up to nearly 15 stone during covid and the switch to working from home, and didn't like that at all- it was a lack of enforced exercise.

One other thing that I think makes a difference (from my experience) is eating and beer in the evenings. I stopped eating giant bags of kettle crisps every night and cut beer to two or three nights a week.

You don't have to live like a monk, but be consistent and honest over time. That's what I found.

I know what you mean, Friday comes, sometimes even Thursday because its almost the weekend and I crack open a beer then some kettle crisps, tortilla chips or pringles. I was always drink on a Fri and Sat night but now its creeped into Thurs and Sun, then I usually wake up Monday morning feeling like toilet.

I'm going to try and get back to just Fri and Sat. I know they say binge drinking is bad but I don't think drinking 4 days on the trot is that great either.

I was always 80-85kg, but promotion at work which meant sitting down instead of standing all day, and being lazy to cook so eating a bad diet, I'm 105kg now.. and actually feel really fat.

Definitely need to sort out diet and start exercising.... as soon as I'm back from holiday in about 3 weeks. Until then, will carry on eating whatever I want I guess .

Heh, exactly the same as me!

You can substitute for the beer- that's what I did.

I tried a few things. Water was just unsatisfying. I then tried soft drinks. I've ended up on the no sugar, no caffeine* coke. That worked well for me and is also cheaper. Give that a go.


*drinking caffeine coke before bed time is a bad idea!
