No Dairy (which means no cheese, mayo, things like that)
So it's been nearly 2 months since I posted this. I pretty much have just counted calories and exercised regularly (nothing crazy: push-ups, air squats, planks, light dumb bells, and 2-6 mile runs 3x a week). I've lost 14 pounds. I still have 1-2 IPAs at night. I still eat burritos on Fridays (give myself an extra 1000-1500 cals on that day). Really, it isn't a huge deprivation, either. I've set my count at about 1-1.5 lbs per week. Sometimes I lose more. I'm not starving myself. I feel great.94DallasAG said:
Counting calories.
Changed my entire outlook on health, fitness, and how I eat.
It's made it easier on me to manage cheat meals and I feel as though I have more opportunites to go "off the range" when I manage all the other meals so closely.
I am 5'11", 182 and cutting. I am currently eating about 2,740 calories a day (250p, 60f, 300c). I guess it would depend on your activity level.The_Thinker said:
So I guess I have to ask...
Is 1650 calories not a normal weight loss area for a 6' 175lb guy? I just started the IIFY or whatever its acronym is.
As to what has worked, using my fitness pal to record but not as the place to get the calorie amount for food. Many of their estimates are so far off from manufacturers numbers it is scary.
So basically just meat, fruit, and leafy greens?AGSPORTSFAN07 said:
I was looking for a Whole30 diet thread but this one came up first so I'll add my 10 cents here. I made a drastic change 2 months ago by using a non-militant flavor of the Whole30 diet plan and I have since lost 30+ pounds without working out. Best part is that I'm really not craving those foods I've given up anymore. It's crazy.
So my diet consists of the following:
No Sugar (which translates to very low sugar and no processed sugar)
No Dairy (which means no cheese, mayo, things like that)
No Grains (which means no bread, corn, beans, etc...)
Now I don't sit there and read all the labels but I've used the diet as a spring board to make better decisions and it's helped a ton. My friends who have done the diet to a "T" have seen even better results.
