I fear Oats will hit 300 before he hits 210. At 6'4, you could easily hit 3 bills.

Unlikely. I've never been north of 245, and that's with really just letting go. 210 is far more likely.

It only gets more difficult as we age. 3 bills may have been a little too high, I'll refine it to 275.

Oats

you like to gamble.

Create a weight loss contest (pre and post pics of your scale needed)

Put up $500 (or whatever) dollars. If you lose 15% (or 10%?) of your weight by whatever date you keep your 500

If you don't, you pay 500 to the person with the highest percentage of weight loss.

Can invite as many people as possible - I'd jump in, even though I'm already down 30 ell bees this year, I have a ways to go.

Nothing would motivate you more than to not pay me 500 bucks and if you hit your 15% reserve weight, you keep your dollars.

Of course everything other than the scale pics is on your honor which is tough to do with the interwebs but I know you're an honest guy.

This is a good idea.

We did a weight loss competition at work. $50 a head, whoever lost the most weight by %, took the pot. It became very competative and in the end, most who took the competition seriously lost between 8-15%.

It's basically Atkins. Drop your carbs down to below 20 per day (most of those should come from vegetables).

And you have to exercise. Even if it just walking.

I'm a complete moron....

When you say 'drop your carbs down to below 20 per day' is there a website that can count these? I'm having trouble understanding what 20 carbs would be. What's the measurement?

I know, for example, that an apple is about 75-85 calories. So I can calorie count. Just never counted carbs. Same way/ease as calories?

 

[General Malaise]

Instead of being a fat lazy slob, I'll do a little digging too.

You’ll keep acceptable foods lists handy and polish your arithmetic skills. In phase 1, for example, you’re allowed 20 grams a day of “net carbs” (pull out the food list), 12 to 15 of them from “foundation vegetables” (pull out another list) high in fiber. But as for fat, you don’t even have to trim it off your steak.

Okay, here's the part where I admit I'm perhaps a.....bit of a drinker. Giving up teh booooze is going to be harder than anything food related. I've heard that vodka can be substituted in moderation, but would be interested in hearing from fellow drink hounds what they did on this diet.

Let's see what I can learn and how I begin before you need to ship off the book. I'd rather shave with a butter knife than ship anything, so hold off for now or send to Otis.

And thanks!

I'm a black coffee drinker. That has zero impact on this, right? I see all sorts of breakfast suggestions for decaf coffee. I'd rather drink out of the toilet.

Cutting out the fried chicken and grape soda will probably be the hardest part of the diet.

You count carbs by the gram. There's carb counting sites. For example a typical slice of bread has 36 grams of carbs. You can't have a single slice. So first you have to eliminate grains including rice and oats, crackers and chips. Because of their sugar content a small apple has about 25 grams of carbs. You can't have one. So second you have eliminate sugar even in its healthier forms. A typical potato has about 35 grams of carbs in it. So you can't have one let alone a bag of fries. Most root veggies are going to be too high in carbs for a 20 gram limit. Best to eliminate them too. So you have to fill up on protein and fat. Bacon and cheese topped burgers without the bun. Bigass salads. Check your dressing for sugar). That type of thing.

I lost almost 100 pounds doing this 7 years ago and I've kept it off. 6-3 197 this morning. I eat whatever I want, but I just don't eat so much anymore. I skip meals for small snacks, and pig out at night with things like steamed veggies.

Good news here.

 

[John Bender]

Any distilled liquor is fine.

I drink a bottle of scotch a week and the weight still melts off of me.

Vodka is fine, Whiskey is fine, most tequila is fine, gin is fine.

As much as you want, whenever you want. Of course if you're doing strict Atkins you aren't supposed to drink for the first 2 weeks. After that, have at it.

I drink 3 cups of coffee a day and take it black. You can use Splenda but need to count it as 1 gram of carbs. Cream is fine as long as it's not flavored

Pretty much this.

After my divorce I went 325 to 185 over the course of a year (gained quite a bit back, I'm back around 230 but have been pretty honest on the diet since last Fall)

With this, you're either all in or all out. Once you detox the sugar cravings and get rid of the insulin roller coaster foods, you stop craving it. But one bite of ice cream or a beer or pasta, and you end up ruining the diet and snap your body out of ketosis.

Ketosis is what happens on a severely limited carbo diet - your body starts burning stored fat as opposed to the grams of sugar currently in your body.

When you eat something high in sugar, you snap out of ketosis and it can take 5-10 days to get back into it.

There is no cheating, but after a few months, you'll forget what half that crap tastes like and not care for it even if it's sitting right in front of you. You also wind up feeling fuller with less food naturally overtime.

Typical day for me:

2 scrambled eggs with cheese, bacon and half an avocado

diced red onion, cucumber, tomato, and feta cheese mixed with Greek Dressing served over a cold piece of salmon or arctic char

Cheeseburger/Steak with cauliflower "rice" (grate a head of cauliflower with the largest holes on your grater - microwave it for 5 mins - salt and pepper) - honestly can barely taste the difference from regular rice. It's truly remarkable how well it comes out.

Eventually you're energy will come back after the first 5 days or so and you'll have more energy than you did before. I walk an hour 3 days a week and then do a circuit training program at the gym for 90 minutes 3 days a week.

I always sound like one of those vegans who wants everyone to know they are a vegan in these types of threads - I hope it's not coming off as obnoxious but it just works better than anything else works (for me).

I'm planning to switch over from beer, wine, and scotch to just scotch. Tanner was saying he drank hard liquor during his routine. It seems like the least problematic. Because yeah,I ain't giving up booze either.

You can do it and it does work. Whenever you feel like eating crap, think about what you'd like to look like at the end of the diet, not how good that crap tastes.

If you need support, reach out and maybe get GM to join you for some moral support. I'll help with any questions you come across. It's those first 5 days, I'm telling ya, get past those first 5 days and you'll thank yourself.

And if you do want to keep yourself honest and put up some money as I described above, I'll definitely join (contribute)

Best of luck to ya and keep us posted!

Thanks to JB and Chaos Commish.

6'2" and 222 lbs. Goal is 200-205. Doesn't sound that difficult but I havent been able to stick to anything just yet.

Also somewhat limited on exercise options due to terrible knees.. bit of an excuse but its real for me.

 

[John Bender]

Couple last notes I've found over the years of doing this.

~ Chicken Caesar Salads (sans croutons) are GREAT options if you're dining out. Half of my job is to have business meetings over lunch and dinner and that can be a struggle.

However, beware - those crappy chains like Applebees and TGIFridays inject their chicken and steaks with a salt/sugar/water solution to keep them juicier. I'm sure you've always wondered how they remained so tender when they grilled chicken because when you do it at home, it comes out stringy and dry. That's how it done. That sugar in the chicken will screw you up bad. It shouldn't be a problem at higher end restaurants.

~ Say goodbye to gas and crapping all the time. You'll probably go number 2 once every other day. It's normal and healthy. If you get stopped up, dissolve a spoonful of psyllium husk in a glass of water (you can find it at the grocery store in the health aisle). As far as the gas, for me, it's non existent. I fart maybe once or twice a week (maybe not a welcome side effect for some of you who enjoy farting)

~ Get a multivitamin that has Potassium and Magnesium (or just buy them separately) to avoid cramping up. You aren't getting much potassium at all on this diet and it's essential to get in your system the first few weeks.

~ Believe it or not, stay away from Atkins Diet Products. They are filled with crap you aren't supposed to eat and list of chemicals is long. They stall weight loss and trigger cravings for me.

~ After the first 2 weeks, take note of what foods cause cravings. Some will, most on the approved foods list won't. I had to cut tomato sauce out completely because I would wake up the next day craving spaghetti.

~ Pork Rinds are awesome. Great snack - dip them in french onion dip or whatever you like. Crush them up and use them as breading for chicken. These are the go to snack when I'm drunk.

~ Make your own chicken wings. Or when eating out, have at it as long as they aren't breaded. (Don't do BBQ sauce or Asian Style - stick to buffalo). You can pig out on these and bleu cheese without fear

I'll add more to this post as I think of stuff

If you drop sugar for a reasonable amount of time, products that are artificially sweetened will taste way too strong when you try them.

I'm not a big sweet/sugar guy, but love fruit. I can't drink coffee with any cream or sugar anymore. I don't eat junk food like chips very often. I never eat dessert unless it's a holiday. Donuts make me a wee bit nauseous. But I'm an apple a day kind of guy so that's gone in this diet. Fare thee well.

I also don't eat breakfast at home during the week and have always just had fruit at work. I suppose I should boil a bunch of eggs and make some bacon for the week?

I'm not a big sweet/sugar guy, but love fruit. I can't drink coffee with any cream or sugar anymore. I don't eat junk food like chips very often. I never eat dessert unless it's a holiday. Donuts make me a wee bit nauseous. But I'm an apple a day kind of guy so that's gone in this diet. Fare thee well.

I also don't eat breakfast at home during the week and have always just had fruit at work. I suppose I should boil a bunch of eggs and make some bacon for the week?

Yep - bowl 12 eggs. Choke em down with some bacon and sliced cucumbers or something.
