Pretty sure I've attributed it to the beer already. But hey, throw rocks if it makes you feel better, guy.Yes, I'm sure it's all those apples that are packing on the pounds.

Regardless of what Atkins says, eating an apple each day isn't going to screw you up.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.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 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?

and want to get back to my standard 220-225. Assuming I stick with this, I should hit that target in early summer. Sooner if I actually exercise.
Keto prompted me into Myfitnesspal for stringent carb tracking, along with a very low daily calorie intake. I hope once I lose what I want I can keep up with mfp and track calories just as well.Ehhh... problem with all this low carb crap is you're essentially giving up (or significantly cutting back) on those starches forever... otherwise the weight comes back and quickly for the VAST majority of people.... which is why in my experience, Low carbers tend to be Yo-Yo dieters, with wild weight fluctuations down, then back up once they burn out on the lifestyle.
But, whatever works best for you, is what you should do.

or at least cut your consumption in half or more
you fat nerds (is that how it's done otis?) just need some discipline.
want to lose 20+ pounds in 3 months? here you go:
eat smaller portions, of everything. at a restaurant, get the 8oz filet not the 12oz. for you fast food fatties, don't supersize your ####. or better yet, stop eating fast food of any kind. :X
stop drinking all soda. yes this includes diet soda.
limit eating processed foods. that means try not to eat anything that comes out of a box, can or the freezer. aka fresh food. what a concept.![]()
eat every 4-5 hours. don't skip meals or otherwise starve yourself
stop drinking booze.or at least cut your consumption in half or more
no sweets
drink a lot of water, at least a 2-3 liters a day
pry your fat ### off the couch and do something, anything, that elevates your heartrate for 20-30 minutes.
the hard part is sticking to it. but once you do, your body will get used to it and won't really like the processed #### you've given up. it'll still like booze though![]()

Oh....My....God....Bacon wrapped eggs is a quick and easy way to have breakfast. Make a dozen or so and take them in a ziplock throughout the week. I typically whisk the eggs along with cheese and diced bell peppers before I pour it into the bacon cups. Either way you can't go wrong. Don't forget to grease the cupcake pan before adding the bacon to the cups.
Yes, I'm sure it's all those apples that are packing on the pounds.

The best part is that this is supposed to be part of a diet. It's the total opposite of how I eat.

Did you remember to clear out your SD card and all of the cookies?Fired up the MyFitnessPal app for the first time in forever. Such a great way to track your intake.![]()
I'm 5'8", so I have little room on my frame to carry excess weight. Natural body weight is ~165-170. About 6 years ago, I was 240 and my family doctor read me the riot act. I'd always been fit from sports, and when I stopped in college I just poured on weight. I just literally cut back on my eating first, then what I was eating. No real secret, just calorie counted regardless of anything else on the label. I'm sure this is not optimal and I'm no doctor, but over about 12-18 months it slowly but surely got the weight off. I ate really, really conservatively Monday - Friday, gave myself a cheat day Saturday where I'd eat whatever I wanted, and scale back gradually Sunday back to regimented eating Monday - Friday, rinse and repeat over that time. I was traveling constantly for work, so I wasn't working out, just watching my intake. Once I got all the weight off, I started working out to maintain, while increasing caloric intake slightly Monday - Friday to compensate for working out, and it has worked perfectly.Yes, I'm sure it's all those apples that are packing on the pounds.![]()

Another way is to cut fat out. Of course you have to exercise. That's what has always worked for me. Eat a big salad (no cheese and crap like ham) for lunch and decent low fat dinners most of the time and you're good. Plus all the booze you can drink!!
I sure MT will tell me different but having a turkey sandwich has to be healthier that eating a bacon cheeseburger without the bun.
I don't get it.Did you remember to clear out your SD card and all of the cookies?Fired up the MyFitnessPal app for the first time in forever. Such a great way to track your intake.![]()

BU-BU-BU-BUT YOU DIDNT COUNT CARBS?!?! Impossarous!I also lost 50+ pounds without limiting carbs or stopping beer drinking. It's as simple as eating less and exercising more. Use myfitnesspal to keep track of everything.

Again, I'm sure you could shoot holes all through this, but it worked for me really well. Just takes patience.
Best of luck with the process.
Low carb is one of many ways to go, I don't think anyone is saying otherwise.BU-BU-BU-BUT YOU DIDNT COUNT CARBS?!?! Impossarous!I also lost 50+ pounds without limiting carbs or stopping beer drinking. It's as simple as eating less and exercising more. Use myfitnesspal to keep track of everything.
you aren't disciplined enough to be successful anyway.Seriously. It would help us fatties a great deal.
Ohhhhhh! You owned me!you aren't disciplined enough to be successful anyway.Seriously. It would help us fatties a great deal.
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.
Pretty much what I said guy..... Just with more detail.you fat nerds (is that how it's done otis?) just need some discipline.

you don't want it enough, if you did you would follow through one of the 37 times you say you're going to do it then keep it up.Ohhhhhh! You owned me!you aren't disciplined enough to be successful anyway.Seriously. It would help us fatties a great deal.
Ohhhhh!
Intestinal illness is great for weight loss.I'd rather drink out of the toilet.
