The Fast Diet » the secret of 5:2 intermittent fasting: lose weight, stay healthy, live longer
Damn congratulations on your weight loose. That is more less what I have been doing with the weight watchers plan(old one). It uses calories, fat, and dietary fiber then gives you a point value. I write everything down I eat.I spent a couple years of nothing but eating out and drinking lots of beer. Then the health problems started rolling in and I had to take corrective action.
I went from 320 back down to 175 in a year.
I counted calories, quit soda, quit beer, dropped candy like foods, and started counting calories. I gradually worked from about 3,000 calories down to about 1,800. Once I dropped my weight down to about 240 I started working out hard core, too.
You do not want to get below 1,800. You'll have hair loss, malnutrition, lose muscle tone, and have blood acidosis.
But you do have to count ever last calorie, including the ketchup or bbq sauce you put on your meat. It will work, trust me.
A lot of good info has been covered so I will be brief. But, bottom line is you can get down to 10% body fat with nutrition alone. Now, granted, that is VERY strict nutrition tailored to your body. But you get the point. But you MUST eat fats. Your body needs these essential fats. Egg yolks, almonds, olive oil, stuff like that all has GOOD fat that your body needs. I hired a nutritionist a while back mainly for strength increase, but he also tailored a diet to my body and it was extremely effective. Don't be afraid to hire a coach. No one, who is super successful in life, has gotten there on their own. Real coaches are worth the investment if you are truly determined! Good luck, keep up the good work!!
