I'm 41. I went from 235 to 185 in 4 months and it stays off, my cholesterol is now great, and I eat prime rib regularily.
After seeing my results, my wife has lost 25 pounds (and still has another 20 to go).
No fad diets, no counting calories, just a couple of simple lifestyle changes.
Here they are and why.
1)CUT OUT THE CARBS!!!! Not completely, this isn't a fanatical thing but carbs will severely screw you up. Why? Ok, your a caveman (well that's where our current model body evolved from right? we are the product of those who survived before us), you NEED energy to survive, to fight, to hunt, etc. Anytime you find high energy foods (like ripe fruits) you crave them, you eat them until you're stuffed and you fall asleep so your body can absorb it and STORE ALL THE EXCESS SUGARS AS FAT!!!!!! so you can survive the coming WINTER.
Starting to get the picture?
Cut your carbs down to 1 meal a day only and limit it as much as possible (after you've lost the weight, and you will if you do what I say, you can add some more back in. That means bread, rice, deserts, pop, chocolate bars, etc.
2) Water, Water, Water. Screw the pop and coffee. Because a) it's full of...CARBS! and b)your body need water to function (metabolically speaking). Remember you want 95% of your fluid intake to be clean pure water. Buy a Reverse Osmosis water system for your house and take a couple of Liters (Quarts) with you every day. Bottom Line, if your pee isn't clear your aren't drinking enough water.
3) Yogurt. Yep, Yogurt. No I'm not a health freak. I don't even exercise (except my mouse hand). Yogurt (live culture yogurt not the dead stuff so plain yogurt is best) has bacteria that help you digest and help keep things "moving" if you know what I mean. I get up every morning, go to the bathroom and well, let's just say I GO. Everything works fine and I can tell you with a great deal of certainty from personal experience that a lot of the "beer belly" like syndrome is your bloated, stretched intestines trying to push out of your body. They are full of all kinds of putrifying crap that's going nowhere. It just sits there and ferments with the sugar youi keep feeding it. Can you spell smelly farts?
Plain yogurt is sour and hard to take at first so add something to sweeten it a little until you get used to reduced sweetness. Try adding a couple of tablespoons of sweetend, flavoured yogurt to the plain or add a muesly cereal. That's what I eat for breakfast every day now, muesli with raisins and dried fruit and I use plain Astro yogurt instead of Milk.
OK, that's it, sermon over.
Believe me or not, it's up to you. I can tell you that almost a dozen friends of mine had seen my results, done what I do (which isn't dicfficult to do, just a few small changes) and their losing weight and feeling better. Allergies get much better, more energy. But you probably won't believe it unless you try it for yourself.
Oh, by the way...EATING FAT DOESN'T MAKE YOU FAT...EATING CARBS DOES....I'm living proof, Prime Rib, burgers, (The buns are carbs so you have to be reasonable), margarine, butter, olive oil, ----- no problem ----, just drastically cut back the carbs.
