Intermittent Fasting Post
We're talking about Intermittant Fasting below. Here are some videos about it.
I'm doing LCHF (Low carb high fat, like Atkins or Paleo or a dozen variations) plus IF (Intermittent fasting). I've lost 14 pounds in about a month (and remember, I was mostly in bad for a lot of it due to my eye exam). Another commenter went on it and lost 10 pounds in a month. "Calories in calories out" is the most deadly mistake science has ever made, this researcher says. It's completely wrong -- or not even wrong, says Gary Taubes. All overweight is caused by chronically high insulin levels in the blood. Insulin sweeps energy out of your blood -- it tells glycogen to exit the blood and enter muscle or fat cells. But it mostly enters fat cells, unless you're exercising. So having too much insulin results in you feeling hungry (because the energy-sustaining glycogen has been swept out of your blood and your brain gets signals it needs more energy) while simultaneously making you fat. The way to fix this is to drive your insulin levels down. The two ways to do this is to avoid carbs -- which is the macro nutrient which causes the highest insulin response (fat causes very little insulin response) -- and not eating anything at all for extended periodsk, which is intermittent fasting. Basically, skipping breakfast and not having nighttime snacks so that for 16 (or more) hours per day you're in a "fasted state" -- say, from 12pm to 8pm you eat, but then you don't eat anything. Why is that important? Because after 11-13 hours of no food, your fat burning machinery kicks on and then skyrockets. You burn fat in the "fasted state" because you have no other choice -- all the easy-to-burn glycogen in your blood has been used up and now the body must turn to burning fat. Obviously, the longer you can continue this fasted state (up to 24 hours, or even longer, if you're a fasting monster), the more fat you burn. So here's what this is all about:These guys introduced me to Intermittent Fasting, and have a whole youtube channel on it (FAsting Twins). They curse a lot, but are hilarious.
They say that with conventional diet and exercise, they couldn't get below 10% body fat, but when they started Intermittent fasting, they went down to 6% or so in a hurry, and in fact got their body fat down to such a low level they had to back off the IF and do it less strictly.This guy says he lost 145 or 150 pounds (depending on when the video dates from) over two years using High Fat Low Carb and Intermittent Fasting in combination (which Dr. Fung recommends).
Finally, this is Gary Taubes explaining that no, fat doesn't make you fat -- carbohydrates do. Carbs drive insulin response, and insulin sweeps glycogen out of the blood and packs it into fat cells.
How hard is this? Not hard. Initially, your brain will tell you to eat when you're used to eating. It will tell you to have breakfast, and lie to you that you're hungry But after a week or so, your body adjusts to the new regime, and fat-burning now fills your blood with sugar (gycogen), and you're not really hungry on the plan anymore. Once you're doing 16 hour fasts regularly, it's pretty easy to extend that to 23-24 hours. Hell, sometimes you just sort of blunder into it. Now, a 16 hour fast is easy; a 24 hour fast, for me at least, is not easy. It's doable, but yeah, at the 20-21 hour mark, I start thinking about food a lot.

Lost it all and kept it off all these years, with regular working out and eating right.
I generally kept it quiet when I was doing it because I got a lot of OMG's and earnest advice not to keep doing it when it got out. Turns out I was a genius.
It's really not as hard as it may sound.

Can't hurt.
I did do Low-Carb and it did work. I lost weight. But it borked my digestion and made me start getting allergic reactions to food I'd previously eaten all my life. Not very happy about that, pretty sure some gut bacteria died off during the diet and, no, fecal transplants are not on the menu.

Ripletoe (evangelized by Instapundit) has a very -short- workout routine. And if you aren't interested in going up in weights all the time, but instead maintaining your current level of strength, it becomes -very- short.
The thing about strength training is that your body decides "I need to keep more muscle", instead of merely deciding "I need more food".

"
Yes. LF milk has a slight carb count from lactose. Heavy cream has none, or next to none. Even half and half has a little but I consider it negligible in the greater scheme of low carb.
"b - if it's on sale, I could buy a pound of bacon, go home, make a pig of myself?"
If you're really doing low carb, you won't want to. Your natural "I've had enough" shutoff works great when you're a fat burner. Blood sugar spikes screw that indicator when we eat high carb.
#1 unbreakable rule of low carb: you MUST jack up the the healthy fats for it to work. If you don't you'll be miserable and quit.

It does work.
One thing I like about low-carbing is that I no longer feel the carb cravings - which made me frantically look through the pantry for something, anything!
The first week was like that.
Now when I get hungry it's just my stomach feeling hungry, not my brain.
Posted by: @votermom at July 07, 2016 06:13 PM (7lVbc)
I get tired of hearing "calories in calories out." I used to be a personal trainer - people will do whatever they possibly can to keep justifying eating junk food. Eating 500 calories of pop tarts will make you feel like crap and you'll be hungry again quickly since it's just sugar.
Glad to see that this is becoming more mainstream.

I'm on some diuretics that have driven my weight down 30 lbs with NO other thing being done.
You too may have a sluggish kidney or imbalance of your electrolytes and are retaining too much water.
There are natural diuretics and some otc and there's some prescription ones that your doctor can prescribe if you need to lose some weight.
See now I was brought up in the '70's that eating a little all the time was the way to go as it shut down the hunger feelings from the stomach but now this here is making a bit more sense.
And it reflects the conditions that were going on when we evolved. People forget we are still using a biological system that was developed when we were omnivores browsing for food and spending a large amount of time hiding in the trees from carnivores.
That means eat fast and then hide and usually you can't hide where the eating's good. You hide where you're safe. Not at the watering hole.

Your body can burn fat to pump blood sugar into your blood, but it's probably out of the habit of doing so because people eat every few hours.
Once you're used to this -- doing it a week or so -- your body is now trained to start burning fat when sugar gets low.
It doesn't take long. A week.

I don't know all about the science part obviously, but my observations from nature is that most wild animals don't get fat except for the hated hoarding squirrels in suburbs. My once a day eating dog (with a few treats) is also a muscle monster. So seems reasonable.

But, for the past month have been doing a lot of woodworking in the shop at my house. Can be in there from like 9AM-9PM some days if I get caught up in what I'm doing. Usually eat something before heading in there, drink a lot during the day, and eat a pretty good size meal when I'm done (for someone my size, all you can eat buffets are usually afraid of me) and I've been "struggling" to stay at about 120lbs.
Never my intention to loose wieght, but there's definitely something to this fasting thing.

I've lost 25 pounds this year on low carb, in cycles (because that seems to work for me, down 15 up 5 down 15 up 5). Whenever I hit the old fat, weight loss slows down and I have to really push through it.
On the bright side, I'm burning 2005 fat right now.

I've been eating a lot of my own version of stir fry. Some kind of meat, usually chicken, beef, venison, or salmon cooked up in a skillet with some olive oil. Take meat out and put it on a plate, throw fresh veggies in the skillet, usually some combo of broccoli, asparagus, carrots, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and garlic. Sometimes I'll use shallots as well. Cook the veggies just long enough to heat them up but retain their crispiness. Toss 'em on the plate with the meat and chow down.

So True.
I've found that by the time I feel full, I've eaten too much.
I've taken to also using my budget to manipulate me into eating less. I'm eating about $50 or more a month less because I'm allocating that money to other stuff I want to do.
The way I do it is sequester that money on a monthly spread sheet that shows how much money I've spent and how much I have available to spend.
By playing with the different allotments it makes me spend less on food for the month.

Same here, pretty much. 5'10 and 117 when I graduated H.S. Had to get a low weight waiver from the doc to join the military (proving there was nothing wrong with me).
Started putting on too much fat for my skinny frame in my late 30s so have been doing varying degrees of low carb since. All my numbers have improved over the years just from that, and some of them started out nasty to borderline alarming.
Now I'm pushing 50 and holding around 155, 32" waist (was up to 36" in my 30s) but a spare tire starts to inflate if I even LOOK at starch. Willpower is also starting to slide so I know where this is heading.
Hopefully you don't have the genetics that tells you to put on fat past a certain age. People with our frame do not carry it well at all, as nothing can conceal it. Still, I know it's the body's safety reserve against illness in middle and old age, so I can live with it.

But there's no need for all that fasting, if you just STOP putting your pancreas into panic mode every damned time you put something in your mouth!
Why is there sugar in ketchup, salami, peanut butter... and a host of other "non-sweet" foods? The food manufacturers are insane. Stop eating their crap!
Stop eating 90% of what is on your grocery store shelves!
Western Civilization is addicted to sugar. Everything that used to be ordinarily healthy (yogurt, granola bars) has been turned into a sugary dessert/candy.
Eat what your body needs. Stop using food as entertainment.

This. Sadly. But it's true and we all know it. Empty calories are the worst and they. will. make. you. fat. I too find the best workable option, if one drinks at all, is to keep it to liquor or wine, not beer, in moderation.
It's the 7th of July and my last beer was last Christmas Eve. This is about the longest I've ever gone. I'll have a shot or two or some wine like NGU. Within moderation. A little liquor is also better for my reflux than beer.

you to put on fat past a certain age. People with our frame do not
carry it well at all, as nothing can conceal it. Still, I know it's the
body's safety reserve against illness in middle and old age, so I can
live with it.

Yeah, I've considered that with how much I actually can eat, but (knock on wood) that won't be a problem. Even at 130 it wasn't fat (though not exactly all muscle), but always told I'm too scrawny. At 36, it's awkward when friends 13 year olds are a lot bigger than you. **sigh**

Fasting does have a significant effect on when you start feeling full. After a few weeks of intermediate fasting I found I couldn't finish full meals at restaurants and even half orders seemed a bit much sometimes. It wasn't the richness of the food just purely volume constraints.
Before that, yes I could easily scarf a whole pizza my self.

I did Paleo after deriding my son for several years. Life changer but it only works, the weight really pours off when I run. I swim intermittently but hill-climbing, sweat-pouring (heartrate to 80%) running is the key for me. Ace, try trail running. Join a local running club. I was apprehensive but just did it. Sure, most of them are faster than me but they all are welcoming (I'm in a club in NY, the Leatherman Harriers, and LA, the Santa Monica Goats.)
RUN...4-6 times a week. I'm up to 7-10 miles once a week with 5 miles easily 4 times a week.
RUN

When I'm stoned I'm pretty good about what I eat -- chicken/meat with cheese and some kind of sauce, hummus by the spoonful, some veggies -- but my weakness is fruit. I love fruit when I'm stoned, esp. mango, pineapple, and cherries.
Good for ya Ace in doing this. I need to drop about 10-15 myself and I'm going to start that pretty soon. Get back to working out, walking more, and only eating when I'm *actually* hungry.

1200 calories as a daily max for no more than 3-5 days. 80-90% of the day's calories must come from fats. How you divide up your meals is your call. Cut out all carbs and restrict protein for the duration of the fast.
Advisable only for those who are already fat burners. I would not attempt this coming cold off a regular diet without trying to burn out some glycogen first.
Once you get through the F.F., even restrictive low carb looks like a wondrous bountiful feast.
Great. Now I gotta do it.

I know exactly what you're saying and felt the same many times. Until my mid 30s I couldn't put on weight if I had to save my life...not fat, not muscle, nothing.
Anyway, if the fat is going to start up on you too, it'll likely start anytime in the next few years. If it does it's going to bug you to death.
Posted by: doomed at July 07, 2016 06:42 PM (bGLSw)
I'd lift weights in the afternoon.
Then I was told a couple of years ago that I was probably burning and harming the organs in my body (mainly heart) because that strategy.
Now that I've had many surgeries and become fat like Cartman when he put on mass, I'm looking for a strategy without destroying my organs.
I guess I'll do intermediate fasting plus cardio in the morning to start off with as I have plenty of fat to burn off.
If anybody has any input on training (building muscle and rehabbing old injuries) while fasting I'm all ears and would be very grateful.

I've managed to keep most of the weight off since with regular distance running and other moderate exercise, and even went back to the diet earlier this year to drop 30 lbs and win the office pool.

That exactly worked for me in my thirties. But Around the 38 year mark I moved to an area that had a long commute which cut exercise out and I started eating junk. So I very slowly gained weight about 10 pounds a year. So at 45 I decided I'd just do what I did in my thirties and .. nothing. I tried for a whole year and my weight wouldn't budge. A little weight loss at first which I thought would continue but then plateau followed by gradual increase.
Intermediate fasting is the first thing that has worked in my forties and I've lost about 5-6 lbs/month for four months.

When the wife and kids went vegetarian I didn't eat much of it because it was not tasty food. Without trying to, 25 pounds was lost in a few months. That was a good thing.
Using My Fitness Pal to track food it became apparent there were days I was only getting 4-500 calories.
Worst, if you get most of your fluids while eating, smal meals mean not much fluid intake. You can become dehydrated and mental function becomes impaired.
This is not to discourage anybody from fasting. It is to encourage you to make sure you still get enough calories and fluid. Oddly enough, after you've put your body in starvation mode for too long, you stop getting hungry. At least that's been my experience. That, and a hospital visit because the wife thought my brain fuzziness was a stroke. Horde, fast when you want to, then eat well and drink your wine with a merry heart.

She said everyone (all the females) told the guy's wife to quit cooking so much. Especially rich foods.
I told her that wouldn't work.
She asked why, and I said he needed to stop eating so much. That always works.

According to Dr Fung, I think, that keeps your insulin steady. Which is bad for those of us whose insulin level is set too high.
Not eating carbs for the fasting period uses up al the insulin in the blood and forces a reset to a lower level.
I probably mangled that explanation.

I've been doing IF for a few months now and it works perfect for me. Also going full Keto as an u/g from Paleo. Do Rippetoe's Starting Strength with an overlay of the 5-3-1 program. You may also want to consider incorporating Resistant Starch in to your diet regime. I'm 68yo and have never been in better health; I'm on no meds except a daily children's aspirin for heart health. My wife tells me that I don't look a day over 50.
PS to Cactus of Liberty: Drop the cardio as recent studies have shown that the health benefits aren't there. Starting Strength plus 5-3-1 programming (starting with very light weights) and long walks and/or hikes w/weighted vest should do the trick for you.

Anyway, the Federal government had a study in WW2 to determine calories used on the job because of rationing and essential war industries. They determined 10,00 calories a day for the average logger. Can't find the study now, but I did find one from the University of Washington that says, 8,000 calories a day, 8-12 per minute. Pretty much unchanged today. Maybe TrigglyPuff should apply for a job.

But regarding dieting.
What can I say? I've never had a problem with weight because of good genes and good habits.
Grandmother is 90 and eats whatEVER she wants. You go to her house for a meal and you get butter, bacon, eggs, wine, beer, sour cream, tortillas, burgers, pasta, cheese, something breaded and pan-fried, whatever strikes her palate. The woman is not only trim, she's FIT. She's on top of it like you wouldn't believe. I kid you not, every time she goes for a checkup the medical personnel who have seen everything think there's a mistake on her chart where her DOB is listed. She has never dieted in her life.
Here's the other thing: fat is SATISFYING. You crave it if you don't get it. Your body is telling you to load up on the stuff that makes your hair shiny and your skin smooth and your belly happy.
I think we overthink a lot of this.

I'm 50. About 1.5 years ago I had hit around 220 (38" waist) and had HAD IT! I started walking, then dieting following the calorie counting approach. I added in intermittent fasting. That all got me down to 180 (36" waist).
Walking lead to running, and eventually I was pushing 10K runs when my knees said 'uncle'. So, this March I got a bike... the ability to get out on the bike for an hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, etc without hurting for days afterword was an enormous difference mentally. But, my weight (and waist size) stayed the same.
3 months ago, i started at a gym doing strength training. I also stopped drinking (ouch). Biking is getting easier and easier, and I'm setting new personal best times almost every other week. Interestingly, my weight has gone UP to 190, BUT, my waist is now down to 35 and still falling (not to mention my wife is very much enjoying the improving physique... just sayin).
I've noticed in the past few weeks that diet is now pretty much irrelevant. i can eat as much, or as little, as I please and the scale stays solid at 190.
Screw the diets. Get moving and adding muscle mass and you won't believe the difference in how you feel.

I grew up on fried bologna sammiches. They were always served with ketchup. Hot dogs are slimmed-down bologna sausages.
Even through my aversion to vinegar continues to persevere, I still enjoy ketchup.
I cannot stand "leftover" ketchup if it sits on a counter top because I cannot stand the vinegar smell.

I think these kind of "fights" are funny. They give you a glimpse into other people's quirks and personalities. I guess hot dog condiments get a lot of attention bc it is such an American food and everyone has an opinion on them.

I completely don't understand it. I would think that if somebody tried to screw with your food in person you would do something on the range of harsh language to slap/punch.
And I think you might be able to justify it.
But I guess the control freak gene has really wide distribution.
Personally, I could give a rat's patoot what other people ate, within reason (i.e. I don't have to share/smell it, it's not my pet or another human, etc).

Unfortunately, no, we can't always agree to disagree, some people have *got* to have an Emmanuel Goldstein or their life is not complete.
This particular argument never stopped from last fall until today (technically longer, but not at this fever pitch), and now that he's gone people are following him around elsewhere and keeping it up.
One major reason I read blogs *in general* less than I do. All comment sections eventually become YouTube comment sections.

I don't diet, but it looks as though I've inadvertently been doing the Warrior Diet for years. I rarely eat breakfast, I never eat lunch, I have a beer and nearly a whole bag of Doritos when I get home from work, and when I have dinner (sometimes I skip it) it's a well-balanced meal, about half of which is convenience food, accompanied by another beer.
Results: I've lost about 30 pounds (high 170s to high 140s) over 3 years or so. That's less than a pound a month, so it's not drastic by any standard. Also, I have a job that keeps me moving quite a bit.
Disclaimer: I smoke. I understand that keeps the pounds off. So there's that, which I don't recommend. In fact, I don't recommend any of my diet. On an intellectual level, I know that my lifestyle is hardly healthy - but I feel fine most of the time.
I have two recommendations if you want to gain weight (or want not to lose weight): computers and telephones. Really - if you're at 175 and want to weigh 200, get a job in telesales.
(Again, I'm not trying to lose any weight. I just do. I know - I suck.)

I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic (as if that's any different than full-blown!) the day after Christmas. I pretty much did what Ace did. I educated myself by reading "Always Hungry" and watching Jason Fung's YT videos. I lost about 27 pounds in three months and have kept it off with LCHF. I'm now stuck at a plateau.
Jason Fung is a nephrologist by trade and has intensely studied kidney function in his diabetic patients. Giving the pancreas a rest is beneficial for all of us, esp. diabetics.
I'm going to step up the IF. For those worried about being hungry and hangry, when you eat high fat, your hunger will feel different -- not the gnawing, driving growling, but a minor nuisance that's easily ignored. IIRC, "bulletproof coffee" or "butter coffee" is an acceptable substitute for breakfast. I make mine with a TBS of coconut oil and lots of heavy cream. You won't believe how good you feel (esp. if you have a hangover!) The author of "Always Hungry," an MD, says if you're still craving sugar on an LCHF diet that you're not eating enough fat! Be decadent with the heavy cream in your coffee. Also, have some fresh berries with heavy cream as a snack or dessert.
Some LCHF bloggers swear by an egg fast (do a search on it) that they say knocks off about six pounds over the course of a weekend. The site dietdoctor.com is interesting as well re LCHF resources. It has a Top 10 list for recipes as well as LCHF web sites and books. "What the Fat?" looks like a great book but is only available on Kindle these days.

We've gone too far in the other direction, but we don't want to return to those old days of dealing with the batshit insane.
At any rate, one of the "shock" treatments they did was insulin shock "therapy". They'd inject enough insulin into patients to put them into insulin shock. Intentional hypoglycemic shock with seizures and all that shit. Intentional.
Guess what, those patients all became terribly obese. They were doing that back in the 40s and 50s. There was the evidence right there that high insulin doses leads to scale breaking obesity.
Insulin also suppresses some "I'm full" hormone, the name I forget. Anyway this hormone tells the brain one is full. High insulin suppresses that.
In fact, I remember reading something that when a bear goes into the "store fat" mode pending hibernation, the bear's body gets in a state similar to metabolic syndrome, lard ass syndrome, in humans. Stuffing yourself with carbs leads to this state, and the effect is putting on enormous amounts of fat. We don't then hibernate and burn that shit off slowly.

People *often* find a diet or routine works really well for *them* and think it's the One True Answer, but genetics, epigenetics, gut flora, intestinal health, allergies, auto-immune disorders - they all play into it.
Germans trying to reduce obesity by doing otherwise kind of iffy bypass surgery apparently accidentally cut out a key piece of intestine and *cured* the diabetes of a large chunk (GET IT) of their patients, who were also suddenly able to lose weight and keep it off after struggling for years. Apparently that part of the intestine was sending faulty signals that kept insulin sky-high when it shouldn't have been and POW, problem solved.
Someday I hope we will have a better handle on it, but bless everyone who has found a way that works, and good luck to everyone who hasn't.

fasting works but an easy way to get the same result without fasting is to stop eating processed food and eat real food. Fruit, veggies, pasture raised meat, wild caught seafood. All will lower your blood sugar compared to soda's, packaged foods, sugar added fat free foods. Lost around 50 pounds by switching from processed foods to real food and walking.
Another myth that keeps people from losing weight is the belief you have to exercise to lose weight. you don't. 80% of weight loss is due tot he foods you eat while only 20% and maybe even less is due to exercise. Stop eating the crap the food industry makes and the weight falls off.

I was prescribed medicine for the diabetes but decided not to take it but rather attempt to cure it through diet.
I basically eat meat, chicken, fish, eggs veggies and cheese.
I'm a Yuge bread and pasta lover so it was very hard but after the first week the cravings disappeared.
I now have zero carb cravings even when my favorites are right there in front of me.
Down 65lbs and blood sugar levels usually around 109 at test time.
Once you put it in your mind that carbs & sugar can never be a part of your life again it becomes easy.
Two tips:
Keto Flu is a bitch but it only last a week or so.
Kimchi is a must for lowering blood sugar & dropping weight. Get the good stuff at your local Korean grocer and eat a bit daily.

In my case, it attacks a protein found in your joints. In other cases, it attacks something else.
Anyway, constant inflammation is bad, and part of the metabolic syndrome, lard ass syndrome, is low level inflammation. I forget the details.

Get one of the DNA tests run, it can be a real eye-opener. I used FTDNA.com's "Family Finder" ($100). There are some sites that allow you to upload your raw results into a database and then run them against everyone else who has uploaded regardless of the service they used. It allows for you to screen against a much larger pool.
My (adoptive) mom took one as well. She was a little perturbed to learn that she wasn't related to Lizzie Warren despite all the "family lore".

I stayed a rail for years until some drunk driver hit my car. It took time but I really gained and need to be in the fast zone again.

So, I went into a federal building in D.C. today and the nice gentleman at the x-ray machine noticed a knife in my purse. "Knife? What knife?".
Turns out I'd brought a 12" knife to work when I brought in a birthday cake and totally forgot about it being in my purse. Forgot about it for about two weeks, to be exact. So I've also been bringing it in to MY federal agency too.
Tomorrow I'm putting my mini crossbow in my purse, because YOLO.

It is a crime to lie to the FBI, even if you are not under oath. Theoretically (ha!), she was in legal jeopardy, so the 5th would have been appropriate if answering a question would incriminate her.

1) What are you doing to get through the plateau?
Harder core IF (warrior diet). Shrinking the eating window to one meal a day for a while.
2) Did you swear off artificial sweeteners & coffee like Atkins says too? I didn't and wonder if that's been a stumbling block for me.
I've reduced artificial sweeteners but have not given them up.
3) Do you see intermittent fasting as a rest-of-your-life thing or just until you reach your goal weight?
it's easy enough to do for the rest of your life. the 16/8 plan is pretty easy. The only temptation for me is I get snacky at night sometimes, especially for cheese (which knocks me out like ambien).
Other than that, it's not hard to do, so I don't know why I'd stop, except for the typical let-it-all-go-to-hell sort of impulse.

Get one of the DNA tests run, it can be a real eye-opener.
Yeah, my dad is seriously considering having it done. He asked me if I wanted one too and I was like, "uh dad, unless there's something I don't know about, just have mom do one and I'll know my ancestry too."
It's been tough. His father was killed in the Battle of the Bulge, his mom never talked about him so my dad never knew very much about his family heritage. Dad started really getting into researching after he visited his dad's grave in Luxembourg about two years ago.
Last year, when my grandma died, we came upon a slew of photographs we had never seen from when my grandma dated and married my dad's father. We've been digging deeper ever since. We hit a roadblock about four generations back where we seem to lose the trail.
I think I'll encourage him again to do the DNA testing.

Curcumin, Astaxanthin, Lecithin, and Collagen. Give them all a try and see what happens. Maybe one of them won't work for you, but I'm betting at least one of them does. Definitely start taking collagen though because that's the protein the inflammation is attacking I think.

I keep skinny and healthy by avoiding crappy food and sugar. By that I mean processed food. I eat meat, veggies, fruit, all the fat and butter I want. I also eat occasinal deserts but only if they are naturally sweetened. Ice cream is a good example. If it's natural ice cream, ie not 1000 additives, it's not really that bad for you. If it's Breyer's or some other mass processed ice cream, awful.
Look at the ingredients when you buy packaged foods. If it's more than 3 or 4, put it back on the shelf. If you can't pronounce it or don't know what it is, don't eat it.
Now this is going to be expensive since good food costs more than bad food. And it will take some control since if you want pizza you'll have to spend time making it instead of calling Domino's. And yes home made pizza can be a very healthy meal.

Well, in the case I mentioned (and an unknown number of other cases, because "type 2 diabetes" is actually a symptom caused by a variety of conditions), the cause was a defective portion of the small intestine (or damaged, I guess) that sent incorrect signals to the body. Once it was gone, the "symptom" vanished. For the last couple of years at least.
Who knows if it will recur because that *damage* was the result of *another* condition.
The Germans and the Indians are working on this line of research now, but they seem worried there isn't a lot of money in it like an injection or pill or "artificial pancreas."

How can I incorporate my 6 beers-a-day into this?
Because alcoholic.
...
not really. beer has carbs, and furthermore, alcohol depresses metabolism and thus causes weight gain.
There are low carb beers like Mic Ultra or Miller light but they have 6 or 7 carbs each beer, and that will add up.
People on this diet usually limit alcohol and when they do have it they tend to have dry red wine (low carb, or low-ish) or else have something like a vodka and diet coke (vodka is low carb).
Red wine is preferable because there's some evidence that red wine is healthy.
But either way, you really would have to reduce alcohol. Not down to zero, but reduced. I think you'd see some benefit even with six bottles of beer a day, but it's going to be a big obstruction in your path.
And as they say, it's not just the alcohol, it's the eating choices you make when willpower is dulled by alcohol.

There was a debate if HFCS was really much worse for humans that sucrose. I believe it is, and I remember some damned study that lots of fructose messes up something in the brain that regulates metabolism. So it's not a direct effect, but a secondary effect.
Anyway, occasionally, Big Soft Drink will put out "real sugar" versions of the soft drinks, and you'll find it in the stores every so often. I remember a Pepsi that tasted like it used to back when I was a kid. The taste actually stimulated childhood memories.
Anyway, if you can get yourself weened off the high sugar shit, you'll be amazed at how sickly sweet most drinks, soft and so-called fruit juices taste. They'll be so sweet it will make you sick.

I hike, I walk my dogs every day, I cut the lawn myself, with a push mower. I live out in the boonies so I pretty much have to drive everywhere. But if I lived in town, I'd walk or ride my bike as much as I could to get around.

Now, the liver will prioritize the metabolism of it, and that will let blood sugar drop, all other factors being equal. This makes you hungry. And tend to stuff your face with lots of fast carbs, if available.

Ace I don't use artificial sweeteners of any kind and don't use any of the faux recipies for pizza ect although I'm an excellent cook.
My theory being that you can't have one foot in & one foot out.
I also saw my weight loss increase when I gave up the diet soda for sparkling mineral water.
Good spices are the key to making what you eat delicious. I also cook my meats in Amish rolled butter.
I don't fast and have gone through two plateaus followed by a immediate 10 or so pound loss.
The key for me is that due to the diabetes scare I knew I had to make a lifestyle change & can't go back.
Once I put that in my mind plateaus weren't a big thing as I know the weight will eventually come off.
It's amassing how your thinking changes once you decide that certain foods are out of your life forever. Believe me when I tell you that food was a big part of my life. No I see it in utilitarian way. Nothing more. There is no end point or goal for me. This is my life now. And that has made it very easy.

The infuriating thing is that Comey is adding in of his own accord the component of intent.
Intent is not a requirment of the statue.
It's like if you go 56 in a 55.
While a cop can never really know if you intended to exceed the speed limit it doesnt fucking matter because going 56 in a 55 is sufficient to fucking ticket you and for you to have to pay a fine for going over the speed limit.
Go to traffic court and try to fight a ticket by telling the judge, yes your honor I was doing 56 in a 55 but I didn't intend to.

The number of chemical interactions and physical interactions is just completely insane and almost impossible to comprehend.
And, on top of that, you aren't even really an *organism*, you're a *colony*. A significant percentage of your DNA isn't even related to you, because you're colonized by symbiotic (and parasitic) organisms.
You want to see how simple it is? Change the balance of that bacterial colonization. It has a *dramatic* effect on your health, and can kill you.
Those "fecal bacteria clinics" sound like an ONT joke, but the results are not a joke. Mind you, they're still guessing and just have collections that seem to work and some that don't, because we're talking at least hundreds of species.
And that's one of many factors affecting metabolism and response to what you eat.
It's really not simple.

straight sugar, table sugar, cane sugar, is sucrose, which is a disaccharide made from one molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose. Hence it is 50% gluclose and 50% fructose.
High fructose corn syrup has slightly higher fructose -- it's 55% fructose and 45% glucose.
Yes it has slightly more fructose, but it's still basically the same as "good" sugar (sucrose).
It has marginally more fructose. So it is marginally worse.
The idea that there are "good sugars" and "bad sugars" is more dangerous than HFCS itself.
All sugar is pretty bad and should be greatly reduced.
Sure, it tastes awesome. But it's very bad for people, especially in the outlandish quantities people in civilized countries eat it in.

Your exercise level will need to be measured as well. Unless you're Michael Phelps or something like that, your exercise level is going to be a small fraction of your energy requirements.
In the real world, you don't measure what you eat, it's near impossible. People tend to underestimate what goes in, and overestimate their energy output. By a lot.
We all have a feeback mechanism that canr regulate our body weight well. Fast carbs and sugar fuck that mechanism up big time, that much is quite evident.
Look at all the wild animals out there. Do they count calories or measure exercise levels? No, they've got a natural feedback mechanism.

Cold showers have two good effects:
1. Any time you make yourself cold, your body must expend calories to get your internal temperature back up.
2. Cold showers are thought to stimulate testosterone. Testosterone -- in both men and women -- promotes leaning and muscle growth. (Estrogen promotes gaining fat, again, in both men and women.)
as a general rule both men and women with weight problems should seek ways to increase their testeosterone/estrogen ratio.

ate very little carbs, lots of veggies and protein.

Stress reduction, mood improvement, prolonging flexibility, mobility, and the health of your back and key joints - all of these are likely results from almost any level of "exercise". Quite apart from weight loss.
Vigorous walking (with almost no impact issues for joints) provides something like 70% of the cardio stimulus provided by jogging.
Moo Moo touched on a key aspect - incorporate exercise into daily and otherwise useful or fun activities and chores. Two birds, or more, with one stone.

Nope, still a crime to lie to the FBI even if not under oath, so they don't make anyone take an oath.

But it isn't the magic bullet that people make it out to be.
It still comes down to calories in vs. calories out.
If I only need 2500 calories daily to maintain my current weight, then if I eat 3000 calories daily, I will put on weight.
Plus your body goes through a calorie surplus and calorie deficit throughout the day....
Anytime you have a meal, your body is in surplus till it has time to digest it and do what it needs with it.....then a few hours later you are in a deficit till you eat again.
So then by the end of the day it comes down to was your calories in deficit throughout the day or surplus

I've been doing this intermittent fasting for years without even knowing it, I guess. When I started high school I just stopped eating breakfast, since my schedule was so jam packed I was pretty much on the go from 6 am on. I also started my body getting used to 4 hours of sleep per night, and I tell you in grad school that ability came in pretty handy.
And Ace is right - after a few weeks it was clear that I was just eating out of habit. In fact, when I went to the hospital a couple of years for surgery and had the nurses forcing me to eat 3 squares/day over the space of the week I was there, I actually gained weight. In the hospital.
So I think there's actually something to this theory.

I have heard this. And I did "vigorous walking." the problem is that vigorous walking is actally really vigorous. It's a less-efficient gait than jogging, and tough to do do.
So I guess maybe this is true but it sort of misleads people. "Vigorous walking" is an athletic gait which is not the same as normal walking. It's takes a while to get up to actual vigorous walking speed.
I'm just saying that people think walking is easy but when you're talking about atheltic walking -- which is allegedly almost as cardio-intensive as jogging -- you are talking about something people don't realize you're talking about.
walking at a 13-15 minute mile pace is pretty tough and walkers won't hit that unless they're specifically timing themselves and fighting for a couple of months to increase their speed.
that said, any kind of walking is better than no walking.

Now, you know what I found. With this damned arthritis, my activity levels ain't what they used to be. When I have to make myself do some hard work, which now happens only when I have, something critical breaks and I have to fix it, I've found that just a few hours of that, and my blood pressure will normalize.
In fact, if I take the same dose of the BP meds when I do it, it will get too low.
A few months ago, maybe closer to a year, the washing machine drain in the folks' house got too slow. Grease build up, I'm sure. It would overflow because it couldn't drain fast enough. Easiest solution was to run a new drain pipe. Which I did, with my 88 year old father "helping" as much as he could.
Nearly killed myself getting up under the house. But my blood pressure dropped to the 90s/50s, and the next day I didn't even take one pill for it. With inactivity, it will creep back up over the next few days.

But I plateaued after a few more months (lost 10 more#). Looked around the web and the consensus recommend was to pig out on carbs for a day, fast for a day and restart the diet, which worked.
I hit so many plateaus though that I grew tired of restarting the diet. So what I found works just as well is not eating more than 500 calories a day for a day or 2 (which sux).
I decided to take a break at #200 and just not obsess over carbs all the damn time and enjoy life. Did that for about 6 months.
Now I'm down to 190 and my goal is 180. I feel great and I'm never hungry but none of my clothes fit anymore so I have to buy new stuff.

Even normal walking - esp. if it can incorporate some hills - is excellent exercise, with almost no down-sides.
My main point was to advocate that people brainstorming strategies on weight and diet also try to incorporate exercise into their package - many may be surprised how many other benefits than calorie burn will flow from it.

When you exercise the work your body does extends well beyond the actual time of the exercise.
yes but they include the after-effects of elevated metaobolism in their calculation.
Jogging a mile is the equivalent of skipping two pieces of bread.
Exercise has great effects on health but it's not very useful for weight loss.
The fact is that people burn so many calories just sleeping or sitting on a couch -- just burning calories to run their bodily metabolism -- that adding exercise is a very marginal thing.
in addition, it's been proven (in studies where they track people's every move with accelerometers) that when people excercise, they reduce their movement throughout the rest of the day, canceling out a lot of the expected benefit of higher metabolic rates during exercise.

i agree, it's just that this factoid you mention is deceiving, and it deceived me. I walked on the belief that it was "almost as good as jogging."
It isn't, not the way starting walkers will walk. And that can be a problem, because there's a notorious syndrome of people "Walking three miles and then eating like they ran a marathon," which I did myself at first.
The actual athletic walk that burns almost as many calories as jogging actually feels pretty much as tough as jogging as far as elevated heart rate and breathing rate.
What starting walkers do is really "ambling," which is fine, and gets you into shape to start to do an athletic walk, but it's not burning many calories.

Could be. For me, I've found that one set of push-ups every day (to failure, not just messing around) is good enough to allow me to eat whatever I want. Just a personal anecdote that works for me, but I'm over 50 and have been wearing the same size pants since I started college. And I eat a very healthy amount, mostly consisting of meat, potatoes and lots of sugar and processed foods. But, for your side of the argument, I eat breakfast only occasionally and very often skip lunch, too. If I ever feel hungry I nosh on whatever is around or cook up a few burgers or hot dogs.

Yep.
But, again I stress, real workouts - to failure. I used to see people at gyms who looked as fresh when they were done as when they walked in. That's no workout. You have to be spent at the end.
Most people who workout get to the hard part (which is the only part that counts) and then they stop. All the lifting in the first reps is just to get to the last rep you can't quite do!

Do push-ups. It's cheaper, easier, and they're an all-body exercise. When you get good you can move up to fingertip push-ups. That's really all you need. You can throw some swimming in if you're really serious. But it has to be enough swimming that you are in serious pain when you finally crawl out of the pool.
Posted by: ThePrimordialOrderedPair at July 07, 2016 09:36 PM (zc3Db)
This is true to a point -- once you get into shape and make a habit of exercise, it becomes less of a tiring and stressful event, so your body gets used to that (or rather, becomes stronger and fitter so its not as difficult) and you get over that weariness that puts you on your back.
Maybe the reason blacks keep getting shot by da popo is because blacks don't listen to what da popo says
I imagine some of that is true, and some of it might be cultural: gotta be badass, gotta show everyone you're not afraid yadda yadda.
But there are bad guy cops out there, and cops who have bad days, like every job. Some of them are just jerks, and some become jaded and frustrated and take it out on the people they figure are bad guys. It doesn't even have to be racism so much as just frustration with dealing with the same crap all day long week after month after year.
So they might not give someone in that setting and culture the same break they would someone who isn't. Like, say, a guy who deals with redneck toothess meth-heads in rural Tennessee for years and has no patience with them vs a visiting guy from Japan. The cracker who gets pulled over gets rousted hard and searched. The Japanese guy gets treated with more respect.

It's easy to pig out on carb calories because most junk food is loaded with it, not so much with fat and protein calories that are with little to no carb calories.
Of course not all "carbs" are the same. Your body can only metabolize mono-saccharides. For starches, it can only clip off each saccharide unit and then metabolize it. In other words, you don't get a huge insulin spike with complex carbohydrates like you do with High Fructose Corn syrup.
The biggest thing you can do is to exercise.

I weigh in once every morning, after showering, before drinking anything. I figure that's the time when my water weight will be at its minimum. Without fail, I can tell if I've eaten a lot the day before, or hardly anything, based on the amount I gain or (more often) lose. Once you gamify it this way, you think twice before any meal because you're concerned about what it will do to tomorrow's weigh in.

Sure, it would be ideal if you felt like the end of a 4,000-yd + water polo workout when you were done swimming. But more realistically, 1,500 - 2K yds is gonna be your workout. And not at the water polo intensity level.
And done regularly, you'll definitely benefit in many ways from such a workout.
Swimming is actually the best exercise of all if you could only do one (besides daily activities involving movement or strength). But not everyone has access to good pools (or the ocean, if you like - and that is a REALLY good workout).

exercise is good but exercise is good for reasons having little to do with weight loss.
In any weight loss regime, dietary factors are responsible for 90% of the impact; exercise, 10% at most.
In addition, exercise can actually slow weight loss because people (like me) wildly overestimate how many calories they've burned up by exercising, or how much protein they need to put on muscle, and overeat even more than they used to.
People just really need to understand that exercise is only going to add, at most, around 10% more total energy expenditure. People just don't realize how many calories they're already burning just to keep their basic metabolic functions working, and now small a contribution 40 minutes of power walking will be to that total.
I have Jawbone so I know the numbers. On an everage day I expend maybe 1800 calories, DOING NOTHING; when I get in a good 4 mile walk, 15 minutes per mile, I up that all the way to... 2100 calories.
If people are realistic about how small the marginal energy expenditure from exercise is, and know then to not eat a 1000 calorie Hero's Feast to feed their muscles, then fine, but most people, starting out, are going to wildly overestimate how many calorie they've burned or how much protein they realistically need to build the potential amount of muscle they maybe potentially got set to grow.

For example, using a scale with pure glucose as 100, a medium baked potato has a GI of 85. White bread is 70. Sucrose is 68. When you look a at glycemic load, it's pretty bad as well. White rice is about the worst GL of all the common foods.
" Complex" looking at a diagram is not the best indicator. It's how fast the human digestive system breaks them down. Slow vs fast is what you need to look at.

Sorry, I hate doing sit-ups. I used to do a lot of boogie boarding when I was living out in Waikiki, which was a great full body workout. You have to keep your abs tensed all the time, keep your back arched, paddle with your arms, and kick with your legs. And try not to get run over by the long boarders.

ehhhh... the current best practice sort of advice is to only work out with free weights, for a lot of reasons, including, crucially, that machines will cause you to build your pure exertion muscles, but not your crucial stabilization/balance muscles, because the machine, by restricting how the weight can move, does not require you to do any stabilizing or balancing.
And the best practice advice is that doing so will build your muscles in a poor way, where they're strong enough to *cause mechanical injury to yourself,* because you haven't also built up the balance/stability muscles.

You really should. I did -- way back when -- but, then, I read a LOT of SF, much of it dystopian....it wasn't until I had a cost accountant working for me describe how a 2-minute hate actually worked in Communist China as she was growing up there......
1984 wasn't invented from whole cloth -- he translated the stuff that he'd actually witnessed in Burma to the UK. The techniques, if not the trappings, of population control are real -- and the expression, "1984 was a cautionary tale, not an instruction manual" is a point to consider.

And one very important thing I forgot to mention in my comments - stretching twice a day is one of the best things to do. Just 10 minutes worth is fine. But good, painful stretches. As with everything else, no pain no gain. Stretching helps speed up metabolism, staves off injuries and being flexible is an asset in pretty much any sport or athletic pursuit there is.

You can lose weight with diet, but no exercise.
However, if you exercise without diet, you won't lose weight.*
* Exception: Look if you're an actual athlete, working out like a high school football player, six days a week,3 hours perday, yes, you can lose weight by pure exercise.
BUT NO ONE OVER AGE 21 DOES THIS, except for professional athletes, and they do it until, what, 30?
The amount of exercise a non-pro-athlete will do, even on a good week, is just not enough to reduce weight without making changes to diet.

I did. My father said keep all the money yourself, but you is gonna do the work. Don't come crying to me. I did. And boy did I work my little ass off. Baling in 90 degree heat during the day, then pickup in late afternoon, and hauling and unloading in the mornings.
All damn day, I was covered in sweat. After a month of that, I was in the best shape I was ever in, a lean mean, wanna-be sex machine.
Some days it was so hot, and so still picking up bales, I couldn't stay still, taking a break. I had to move to keep air flowing over me, otherwise I'd collapse from heat stroke.
I actually ate less for lunch during that. My damn belly was full of water. They actually remarked, the gals that ran this little joint I'd eat at, that I was eating much less.
I'd pig out for supper, that I remember. But it was good, home cooked shit. And then I'd collapse at 9PM or so, to be ready to get up at 6AM or earlier.

Norman was a 24-year police veteran with the Bellaire Police Department. He attempted to pull over the car Lewis was driving after running a computer check on the license plate, and learning a warrant had been issued for insufficient insurance.
According to fellow Bellaire officer Sergio Salinas, Lewis led Norman on a chase through residential streets until side-swiping a truck driven by Sylvan Romera Amaya. Amaya testified he also began chasing Lewis at that point to get his license and insurance information.
Lewis continued on in his damaged car for a few blocks before pulling into the parking lot of the Maaco body shop. Taylor knew Norman and came out to try to assist him. As the officer was trying to pull Lewis from his car, Lewis shot him. He then aimed the gun at Taylor, shooting and killing him also.
Prosecutors said Lewis then turned to shoot Amaya, who was also standing near his car, but Amaya dove to the ground after hearing the first shot.
the police officer died, the shooter is on death row

Don't know where you get these facts, but the crowd my dad hangs with do not have these issues. Could be that they run on dirt, not pavement. Could be that they listen to their bodies and don't kill themselves. I don't know.
I am not a runner. My body type is a little too top heavy for that (and no, no pics, guys) and my legs are short. But, I was a swimmer, so I know the drill. Unless you are doing competitive training, you aren't likely to lose much weight, but you probaby will increase muscle mass, which in turn will help your diet.
And for some folks, it is just a bridge too far to do anything healthy on a regular basis.

Their fiber content is higher and the whole digestive process is slower than is typical for us. We're talking the whole population that includes scores of dirt poor peasants.
Under near starvation conditions, high carb/low fat will not make you fat. In the CICO equation, they are *forced* to lower their intake, no matter how hungry they may be. :-)
It's a very complicated thing, and I just know enough to be dangerous.

Yeah, that's not a nice place to be. And its a downward spiral, because the healthier you are, the better you can fight off sickness and manage symptoms. And the weaker you get, the less you can exercise so the sicker you get, so the less you can exercise until you can't exercise at all....

Stage 2: BLMer shoots cops.
Stage 3. The shooting sparks a sit-in by the Democrats in Congress to ban guns or register guns or whatever is next on their agenda.
Stage 4: Obama and Hillary echo the BLM claim that America is racist and to prove otherwise we need to take in massive additioal waves of Muslim immigrants from the Middle East and Europe.
Stage 5: The administration implements even more stringent surveillance and monitoring of the entire American population to deal with increasing Islamic terrorism in the homeland.
Stage 6: The progressives get even more brazen in their lawless governence as they enjoy increased ability to surveill, control and disarm the American population.
Stage 7: Start Stage 1 again.

You're not allowed to ask a woman her age! I'm young enough not to have any memory of the JFK assassination. Only learned of it through history books. I did visit the book depository and didn't really feel any kind of emotion. it was one of those things. Missed the moon landing too. I can see how certain moments get seared into your memory where you remember exactly where you were and what you were doing at the time. 9/11 was probably the first kind of moment for me like that.

I have lost 31 pounds since Christmas.. all I have done is avoided carbs when I can.
No paleo crap.. no atkins..
I have avoided carbs in the morning.. I used to do a lot of pastries.. I will eat a couple fried or microwaved scrambled eggs now. You can make great omelettes in the m-wave!
I don't eat potatoes with meals,, I opt for fruit instead.
I still eat sandwiches occasionally.. tacos..
My appetite has diminished. So I am eating less.
portion control goes a long way when you are not all that hungry to begin with!

Fredlike, there's more to it than high fat high protein and eating less. By severely restricting carbs and reducing proteins in relation to fat, you prevent your body from storing excess energy as fat. So you can consume more calories than you burn, and not gain weight. However, you still need to burn more calories than you consume in order to burn through your fat reserves. Second, when your body is in ketosis, it is highly resistant to catabolism. Catabolism is the big flaw that most traditional diets fail to. When the body is starved for nutrients, it starts breaking down muscle in order to reduce energy demand and restock glycogen and fat reserves. So while you're able to initially lose weight, you stall out and ultimately do yourself more harm than good. By losing muscle mass, you reduce the amount of energy your body burns, and your once normal eating habits are now providing additional surplus calories versus what they used to provide prior to the diet.

I am a big fella and need to drop a lot of weight for health and lifestyle reasons. Reading through the comments here there area a lot of inspirational stories such as Dot at 189 and many more. Reading those helps me see that this is something I can do.
I need to drop somewhere between 100-110 pounds. I've pretty much known for a long time what I needed to do to make it happen (LCHF, be more active, lay off the booze, eat more reasonable portions, get more sleep) but let's just say I haven't been willing to make the changes I need to make. Honestly the booze is probably the most important because some of the others will follow - at a minimum eating less and not eating late at night will follow.
I call myself a social drinker. By which I mean while I mix it up and sometimes drink beer & whiskey, I mostly drink red wine to the tune of at least a bottle a night on average. That leads to the munchies which leads to much munching. Which, combined with years worth of a desk job and long commutes has led to me cresting out close to 310. I'm a bit shy of that peak now but hot damn it doesn't feel like by much.
Anyway, I figure that I'd lose at least some weight just by dropping the booze to a reasonable amount if not altogether. Say, one or two glasses a night. Believe me, that would be a significant drop from where I am at the moment. So there would be the massive reduction in calories from booze intake plus the reduction in calories from booze-induced munching. I already almost never eat breakfast (aside from a couple cups of coffee) so that would leave me eating little to nothing from around 8pm until close to noon the following day.
It seems logical that if I'm not up boozing and drinking all night I will get better sleep which will afford me more time to add in some cardio and work my way back up the activity ladder from there. I hate running - always have - and would prefer to ride a bike but need to get to a low enough weight to keep the tires from flattening out when I get on the damn thing.
Anyway there it is in all its ugly truth. Thank God for anonymous commenting. This is cathartic, and more honest than I've ever been with anyone about this. Yeesh. If only I just didn't like the red wine so much...
Alright chaps and chapettes, that's my stream of consciousness for the evening. Would have jumped in while the thread was more active but I was too busy to do much more than lurk until this evening.
A couple exit questions:
For LCHF what is a reasonable carb intake? If I fix up some tacos with tortillas, cheese, veggies, beans, & ground beef are the carby tortillas ok? Or do I need to go jihad on carbs and wrap the fillings in lettuce?
I've tried to cut out carbs before but that cuts out so much delicious and convenient food. It really takes a lot more of an effort to eat more fats and proteins, you know? Easier to whip up a vat of spaghetti or order a pizza after a long day than to make a roast. Any tricks you hyper busy people have for doing low carb meal prep consistently?

For convenience, you can order a salad with meat for lunch instead of a pizza. It doesn't take much longer to brown hamburger than to make spaghetti, then you can add tomatoes and spices and have chili or tacos or taco chili (surprisingly good). Learn how to grill or roast vegetables and they can be awesome. If you get an instant pot or some other pressure cooker you can go from frozen roast to perfection in an hour and a half. They are low carb tortillas (~6 per serving) if you must.
You might look into a Whole 30 (look it up) to get yourself on the right track. That would mean no alcohol at all, though, for a month. But if you can't stop drinking for a month, doesn't that mean you really should just so you know you can?
If you get cravings, I have found a tablespoon of coconut oil plus a big glass of water will stop cravings within a minute or two.
Again, good luck. If you read my story above, maybe I'm not the one to give you advice. I maybe can get you to a plateau, but not beyond it

Good stuff there. I definitely grill a lot of meats and veggies although less so now that we're in 100+ degree territory every day.
I used to periodically fast alcohol for anywhere from one to three months at a time just to prove to myself that I could. Sometimes my work gets busy and I have very little time to eat or drink. During those times I lose weight. Last time that happened I lost 15-20 pounds which felt great. But once my busy season was over I returned to old ways.
I've pretty much decided that in order for this to happen I have to want to be in reasonably good shape more than I want to self medicate on a daily basis. I think I'm getting there. Tired of being too big to do most fun stuff and having to buy clothes from specialty stores at inflated prices because I can't fit regular clothes. Also, it is sinking in more and more as I push 40 that if I don't make these changes now I may not be there for my kids in the long run. That's probably the biggest motivating thought of all.
For the last week I have quit buying wine and the only alcohol I've consumed has been beer that was already in the fridge. I have limited that to one or two beers each night. Already eating a lot less - only one serving at dinner and not doing the late night munching. Not really sleeping much more yet though because without the normal dosage to wind me down at night I'm still wired until late. But I suppose if I keep it up there will be balance in that area with time too.
