My nutritionist recommended I monitor and track my caloric intake and reduce to 1200 calories a day. She also suggested I gradually increase my dietary fiber and protein intake.
She also told me that those weight loss/meal replacement shakes are not really good for losing weight. They don’t make your body work for the nutrients and have little to no protein or fiber which are essential for healthy weight loss. Same with snack-type granola bars. They fill your belly but don’t do much for your body. Mostly granola shaped and flavored candy bars is what she called them.
Between those things and increasing my daily movement, it has seemed to melt away the fat.
I’ve maintained my regular activity level but added (before his surgery) a 1-2 mile walk, three times a week. We do/did this as a family and were all seeing benefits. More stamina, endurance, and energy.
We started out walking a slow and gentle 1.5-2 miles an hour. When he went under the knife, we had increased our speed to almost 4 mph. In July, it took us about 40 minutes to walk one mile. December, it took us about 30 minutes to walk 1.8 miles!
It feels good! Once he has been cleared for physical therapy and feels up to walking again (not to mention the weather… brrr ), we will head back to the park and begin building him back up. Can’t wait!
I couldn’t agree more with your doctor. All those foods you mentioned are crap, empty calories in many ways. The statement I made above targets the very specific keto diet and I was just using it as an example because @jinx_d mentioned it. Also because it worked for my needs. For me, I found that I needed to cut down on refined carbs. I think everyone needs to find out what works for them and what gives them ultimate healthy results.
I found walking to be a great exercise. I do have a story about when walking wouldn’t make a dent in weight loss for me even while eating a healthy diet but I’ll PM you about that later. It’s too long and personal for the forums.
Yeah, carbs are essential to cut down as they are converted to sugar and if your activity level isn’t high enough your body winds up storing it… I don’t remember if it stores it as fat or not but it doesn’t help
She also said what you did. Cut carbs by 50% as the DRV are really too high.
My wife told me that last night when she was out with our two boys, 16 and 14, she was searching through the radio channels. She likes pop, K-pop, all that organized noise stuff. She hit a station that was playing Tom Petty and went past it and both boys yelled out, go back to Tom Petty!
1990s early 2000s hip hop stays playing on my Amazon music pretty much all day just was listening to murder was the case! This was my formative years music. I’ll be 40 this year next month but damn if I still don’t love Tupac and Snoop Dogg ice cube , gang star, mos def the list goes on …gangsta gangsta!
So what made me smile today actually this week, technically. I’ve been trying to do this DIY a little over a year .
this past week for 2, made 5 recipes…ALL 5 came out exactly how I wanted them too.
I was delighted, ive been chasing a vape wild recipe I didn’t have the recipe for (and I still don’t) the last straw/pinkle twinkle, but to have all five recipes came out exactly how I wanted them was kick-ass . 2 of which, were my own creatation!
I’m not one to use the calculator on here. (index cards and a pin up board)
the calcuator on here wasnt jiving with my premix numbers. (operator error im sure)
currentlyusing pre-mixed base 6 mg 100% VG (before I was getting 70/30 pre-mix but always was too much pg) from Central Vapors.it’s relatively inexpensive it takes a while to ship it but it’s good quality and I like my juices on the thicker side anyway.
I had a whole another couple paragraphs about Bavarian cream but I think that’s enough TFA Bavarian cream is bomb sums it up. The flavoring I was getting was old and bowl city is awesome and fresh and their order shipped before I even put my credit card away! ok keep smiling!
), we will head back to the park and begin building him back up. Can’t wait!
. Oi Vey!
