Getting fit - anyone else trying to turn it around?

Oh, you'll have to sign a release form, just in case you happen drop or hurt yourself.

intermittent fasting!!! I went from 250lbs to 190 with a 20 hour fast... just eat dinner, sensible dinner! I did protein drinks in the morning, lots of water, some caffeine, but lots of water!!! It can be done!

Well I'm 6' around 190# and a 34" waist at 58yrs old. I guess I could drop a few lbs.

Spinach and sprouts salad with basalmic vinegar, smoked tuna pretty regular, do beef of some sort 1-2 x a week, chicken 2-3x a week, pork including bacon maybe 2x a week, fish or shrimp once a week, I dont drink beer, dont drink soda pop of any kind, high fiber breakfast cereal 3x a week,egg breakfast sandwich on whole grain bread many mornings. Try not to overdue dairy. High protein Atkins type the best I can. I dont eat any twinkies, sticky buns, other packaged hi carb sugary crap. I probably need to eat more fruit, but alot of it taste terrible after covid.
I have not had McD, Hardly, BK, or other fast food crap in 12 years. Background in 2010, I weighed 390-405. Dropped to 280 when I was in Colorado, living at higher altitude helped me alot. Bad right knee wont let me jog, but I do some martial arts, yardwork for exercise. Dont smoke. But dont get enough exercise for sure.
I had covid a year ago, that trashed my metabolism pretty bad. Alot of food taste terrible to me nòw. I love to swim for exercise, because of covid I didnt have pool access,
but now I have post covid inner ear problems keeping me out of the water. Mý arthritis has been horrible since covid making martial arts, even tai chi hard to do.
I have "primary hyper aldosteronism" and take spironolactone for it, but it doesnt help like it used to. My metabolism is really messed up.

Wouldn’t be surprised if fasting turned a lot of things around. We just don’t need a lot of food.

Doesn’t sound too bad. If you fasted I bet you would feel better.

I'm 45 pounds lighter now than I was in January of 2020. I'm a cyclist and I ride lots of miles. I'm about to head out now for a 16 mile ride. Keep after it!

Y'all sayin' changing diet and burning calories results in fat loss really triggered me.

I'll choose body positivity any day over the self-hate over paternalistic modern beauty standards.

I need some donuts.

 

[OK Corgi Rancher]

I might actually kill for a donut...

Wife and I generally won't buy them because they are a weakness of mine. If somebody brings them to work I just might hurt a man that's between me and the donut box.
