It was a bit of a struggle to get to the 2500 target today. I only ended up with 2080 calories today and I am still pretty full from dinner. I've had a lot of energy today too, which has been a nice change. Even took Dog for a walk after work today.

I’m past 50. It’s a lot harder and you have to work at it harder than when your 25 but it’s doable. And l agree, it’s the habits that kept me on track, so far.

I have people in their early 30's at basketball saying the same thing all the time "oh man once you hit 30 it is downhill..." I feel as good as I did when I was in my 20's As good as I have ever felt in fact. I don't believe it will magically change by some arbitrary number.. |

218.8 lbs this morning. It's a 500 cal down day today. I have a few calories leftover from yesterday if I need them but I am hoping not to and just using that as a bonus deficit.

This thread is very similar to the long running Health and Fitness thread.
I saw someone post a while back say that you can gain weight if you take in LESS calories that you BURN if the food is bad. THIS IS 100% FACTUALLY WRONG! If you burn more calories than you ingest, you WILL LOSE weight 100% of the time. You can develop high cholesterol or high blood pressure if you eat all fried foods with high sodium for your calories. Also low vital vitamin levels if you neglect fruit and vegetables or too much water/caffeine that flushes out important minerals. I've lose 75 pounds so far in the last 12 1/2 months from burning more calories than I ingest, exercising appropriately and controlling how much alcohol I drink and bad food I eat. I'm about to go under 200 pounds for the first time in 18 years. I now take NO MEDICATIONS! No blood pressure meds, no cholesterol pills and no Protonix antacid pill for GERD as my heartburn is gone. There is no magic pill, hidden diet or other special thing you can do. It is really simple! 99.9% of the time it boils down to one thing: Sacrifice with commitment.

I like this thread because it's specifically about counting calories and isn't full of ketards or other bullshit diet advice. I'm not saying the Health and Fitness thread is as I haven't read it but most diet threads tend to devolve into woo woo bullshit like you mentioned.

All that said, I have used it as a reason to work harder, not throw up my hands. Letting myself go physically is not how I want to grow old. |

By the way, if anyone is interested in the Alternate Day Fasting that I'm doing, here is a pretty comprehensive article explaining how it works with links to the relevant studies.
https://www.healthline.com/nutrition...-fasting-guide It's all about the calories but this is the main reason I do ADF versus just daily calorie restriction: Quote:
