This is for life

This “discovery” changed everything for me. When I would consider a new workout, diet, food restriction, whatever, I would ask myself ” is this something I can maintain for the rest of my life? Can I go the rest of my life and not eat carbs?” If the answer was no then I knew I might as well not even go down that road or it would just be a dead end. This was the point where I finally lost the weight and kept it off. 

If you’re gritting your teeth just to get through your weight loss plan everyday, stop and ask yourself “can I do this for the rest of my life?”. If not, you may want to reconsider your approach to weight loss. Let me know if you have any questions, always happy to help if I can! Feel free to message me if you’d rather chat privately. Hope this helps someone!

In a funk – and was sick

I dunno whats going on. Just havent been able to mentally dedicate myself. I think I am afraid of jumping in because I feel like then I won’t be able to do anything else.

I have started logging calories again. Lets get the food under control.

I cannot procrastinate! Simplify and do action. That’s it.

The flu

I was sick for like 5 days. The flu helped me reset though. I feel a bit lighter, more normal.

Slowly have to build back. And you have the plan!

Hunger management

The most critical SKILL that I need to learn.

Sober 47: Updated

Sober 47

Here is an update

  • So clearly I won’t be able to remain sober the whole administration.
  • But I want to get healthier with drinking.
  • My plan now is to drink non-alcoholic beers.
  • But I am okay to have scotch / whiskey.
  • Occasional guinness.

I am almost done with drinking. I think beer is 100% done, escept for guinness. I went to the store, and it was awesome. It’s the only one I like anymore. It has a built in regulator.

Beer is doen for me. The only beer I will drink is Guinness. And it is good. Reduces the food.

And because I have been to the store, I am okay.

However, I want to one day visit the distilleries in scotland. So I am okay continuing to drink scotch.

Benefits of logging and deficits

Let’s pay attention to the food. The goal is not to reduce the calories blindly. Keep the protein high, bring down the fats. Some carbs are fine.

I will start logging for a little bit. Let’s see how it goes.

My TDEE:

I want to cut:

These macronutrient values reflect your cutting calories of 2,122 calories per day, which is a 500 calorie per day deficit from your maintenance of 2,622 calories per day.

Pretty straight forward.

Encode this into the apps.

75% of the loss will be fat. 25% will be muscle.

Maybe add berberine.
