Nah, I just eat breakfast and lunch and at 2:00 p.m I have nothing but water the rest of the day til 5a.m. the next morning. Works for me.

Now I may have a afternoon cocktail to help me sleep.

That's where weight training becomes very beneficial. I know it's anecdotal but if I avoid the low carb breads, and snacks, like my coke zero/carb smart vanilla coke floats, I tend to continue to lose weight. If I use those products, I tend to maintain and even gain a pound or two. If I "keto" during the week and eat carbs on the weekend, my weight will go up a couple of pounds. Back on keto for the week and I lose them.

(You know what you call several anecdotes? Statistical data. lolol)

Yah. I think I blurred a couple of my posts. In the specific diet plans I mentioned, weight training is highly, highly suggested. Specifically full body workouts.

And the TNT book describes that the weight training will actually use up the glycogen stores in the muscles and put you into ketosis quicker after you break it. (As an aside, that's one of several reasons that full body workouts are so important to the plan, as opposed to classic muscle group splits. Fully body workouts empty all the muscles of that glycogen.) Basically, you spend a day or so out of ketosis, your body converts the initial carbs into glycogen and fills the empty muscle tissue with that as fuel for immediate strenuous activities (like resistance training). But your muscles can only store so much glycogen, so when they are full, they are full. Any more carbs become fat (which is a limitless storage tank... ugh!).

When you go back on keto:

1. You go back into ketosis quicker since your body has been trained to do it.
2. Your next workout will deplete the glycogen stores in your muscle tissues, putting you back into ketosis quicker.
3. The next couple of days of serious ketosis will begin to drop whatever fats you may have stored over the weekend.
4. The next few days of serious ketosis should burn even more fat, leading to net loss over the week.

So, net effect is slower weight loss, better muscle preservation/gains.

I'm not @peaygolf, and it's slightly more than $50, but this putter is great.


Though someone really needs to see your putter stroke to make a good recommendation. Some folks do better with a center balanced putter like the above (I do). Others not so much. Really, you just need to go to a golf shop and putt with several types. See what works best for you.

Another diet that works and isn't as extreme as keto is the paleo diet.

So you're eating what our pre agricultural revolution ancestors ate.

Meat, Vegetables, fruit and nuts.

That way you don't have to completely take out all sugars. It's really just the bread and carbs that we eat way too much of and then people eat waaaay too much. Calorie deficit, healthy foods and exercise.

For less extreme diet, I have had lots of success at different times with the Low GI diet. Basically, some carbs are less prone to spike insulin--i.e. whole grains instead of refined, honey as opposed to refined sugars, etc... Those take longer to digest. Also, adding a bit of fat into the meal causes the meal to take longer to digest, thus slowing the insulin response.

I've found that for quick/big weight loss, keto is the plan. Then for maintenance, Low GI is a good plan.

TIFWIW. Some random guy on the internet...

More sleep and long zone 2 exercise would help more people than they realize. I think it’s also hard for many to understand how much exercise is required to burn 500 calories or more.
Drink mostly water, eat simple foods, avoid alcohol and an hour of active exercise a day. That’s pretty much the key to weight maintenance. . To lose weight you’ve gotta put in significantly more effort in exercise while not changing eating habits.

Anyone here in the Florida big bend area? Brother and sister in law are in Quincy and have already had 4 inches of rain.
Currently sunny here in Jupiter- but we’ve had wind and rain all morning.

Agree. Do it right or try something else. I did it right and it worked like a charm. During the holidays I eased up and it cost me. Back on it again now.

I've made up my mind that this just the way I live now. I'm gonna go off diet for the cruise in mid November, but this time I'm going right back on.

I've went off schedule 3 times since March for a week or less each time..I think it helps me reset my system...normally I lose at a slow clip about a pound or two a week, but after I take off for a few days and restart I have biggest losses, after I get back in Ketosis..like 4-8 pounds in a week or two...then it slows back down to a pound or two a week.
