So. It’s been about 6 months or so I’ve been serious about dieting. I really started at the start of the year but it took a while to get going. Anyways. Today for the first time in a long time…we are talking 2 decades here…my BMI in my morning weigh is in the normal range for my height!!!
Started with low fat, no sugar then moved to keto/no sugar and it’s been surprisingly easy. I wouldn’t recommend it to everyone but the keto works and after about 4 months of pretty much staying on the keto I’ve gone from obese with a bmi of 30.5 or so to normal at 24.8.
So 108 plus kgs down to 86 plus so lost 22 kgs ( 48.4 lbs ). Plan is hit the goal weight after losing about 3 or 4 more kgs then stay pretty much low carb but add a few things like rice for variety. I still eat pretty well and it’s amazed me how disciplined I’ve been but it gets easier for sure!
Still exercising heaps and that helps too and keeping busy. I am spending an hour or so working in the yard cleaning up a little at a time so getting heaps done in life. Feeling pretty bloody good about life for sure at the moment.
I’ve found it hard to lose weight when I am on psychotropic med’s, but getting off the med’s isn’t an option for me. My weight is stable, though. That is good. I need to lose about fifty lbs. though.
I like grilled meat, I buy preseasoned meat, grill them and put salad dressing on salad. There is many meat flavors, chipotle, spicy, souvelaki, portuguese etc I use zesty italian salad dressing. Sometimes I make shrimp and vegetables sauté with oyster and sriracha sauces. Sometimes I have wraps, smoked salmon and low fat cream cheese with lettuce or ham, low fat cheese and lettuce or eggs and ham wraps.
I still eat some carbs but low, I read that your body goes into ketosis whenever you eat less than 50g of carbs a day. When I have wraps I just have one small one I think 14 or 19g of carbs. I get the Keto ones from Costco but they still have 19g of carbs, although they have 13g of fiber. I read that fiber cancel out carbs
