The Fast Diet

[fatprop]

I lost all/most of my weight by cutting out sugar and grains and living on meat and green vegetables essentially.

The fast diet approach has helped shock the system break through a very tough plateau (I want to get back to a 34 inch waste)

I understand there is very little correlation between exercise and weight loss.

What you stick in your mouth is the key.

I use the mantra of a US trainer, you lose weight by eating well, you exercise so you can move.

How can that be right?
For years I have seen guys put on8-10kgs over summer,then lose it in 6 weeks when footy training starts.
No change in diet,just their physical exertion.

Yeah, well "very little correlation between exercise and weight loss" is the point.

Is the fast diet like the five two diet?

Yeh it's the same thing.

I have no trouble exercising on fast days but I struggle if I exercise before eating the next day. I found a banana before my swim helped a lot with that. I got back into swimming about the same time I started the diet and I just can't swim with food on board, but a banana is ok. Did the Coogee Island swim last weekend, which was an experience for a boy from Tamworth.

I have done it in the past, and also the warrior diet (which is similar, but you fast every day with a re-feed each night). Both worked well for me in terms of weight loss, but neither work for my wife. must be a hormonal thing.

Yeh it seems to be harder or less successful for many women.

I'm still going strong. My weight loss is over 10 kilo so far and I'm pretty impressed at how easily it's coming off.
My doctor has now joined me on the diet and she likes it as well.
I'm hopeful of losing less muscle with this than a normal diet.

Can I just say well done to everyone on their weight loss, I know it ain't easy and also something you'll all be proud of.

For myself I just stopped eating shit food and as someone has already said, stuck to veg and meat. I've dropped from 112 to 97 in 8 weeks, so fairly pleased with that. Keen on getting to 90 eventually, I think for a 6'3 guy that's fair enough?

 

[Sully]

Dctarget I wish it was that easy for me. Good luck.

.....Keen on getting to 90 eventually, I think for a 6'3 guy that's fair enough?

Probably fair enough but goal weights are tricky and ultimately they are just an arbitrary figure to push you onwards.
I'm 6'6 and regularly sit between the 112-118kg range. I always thought that 100-105 would be good for me. I got close once through diet and exercise and got down to about 107 but didn't feel like I looked a lot different and thought I could stand to lose another 10-12kgs easy.
I got lazy and put the weight back on and ballooned to about 122kg. Then I got sick. Surgery and a week in hospital and then recovery dropped me down to 99kg. I was gaunt. Way to thin. Since then though I'm back up to 115kg and being slightly overweight.
Not sure what my point is now that I've reached the end of my story. Other than to say that pick a goal weight but just stick with the healthy eating and exercise as a lifestyle choice and your body will plateau at where you should be.

I think it probably helps that I'm a lot younger than most of the people on here, not that I'm insinuating you're all oldies...

Well actually I am, but it makes all your weight losses a lot more impressive than mine!

Fark Scoey might have something to say about you calling him old.

But me? Yeah I'm old.

A handy hint; I got tonsillitis on Monday and have since dropped another 3 kilos. Anyone know any other contagious diseases going around I can abuse?

 

[Scoey]

What you want is a good dose of rotovirus. That will sort you out. That or head to Bali and drink some of the local water.

Rotavirus then Bali-belly? Strips the weight, but you'll look like a scrotum.

Don't know what you're talking about, just think healthy and the weight falls right off. No struggle about it. Too easy

But yeah, as I said it makes your weight loss all the more impressive! Also why I want to get in good shape now so I don't have to later on.
