Parsley Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I can send you a recipe for paleo bagels, and lentil pasta is a great alternative for regular pasta. Sure!

Parsley Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 But how do you feel? Feel good. I'd say less cravings for sugary foods as the weeks have passed. Energy wise, fairly similar, obviously workouts are a bit easier. Sleeping better at night too. It has been a good learning experience for my wife and I with regards to sugar intake. I'd say eating healthier has also been more motivation to exercise (be active in general) regularly although I've been pretty good at that the past few months with the new elliptical we purchased.

Vodka Drunkenski Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Lost 6 pounds over the last 2 weeks with the peloton and cleaning up my diet. Also been going on a 2 mile family walks a couple of nights a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm off crutches so can't wait to get back to normal activity. Similarly if I work out in the morning, I'm less likely to eat poorly. But if I do, I don't beat myself over it knowing I got a workout in. Regarding diet, the list of things that will kill us start with sugar, followed by wheat. Then a bunch of other shit.

Parsley Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 30 day update on low carb diet... Weighed in at 160.7 this morning. So that puts me at 11.3 lbs lost in the 30 days (172 lbs). This is about the weight I was targeting and hoping for by exercising daily (25-30 minutes elliptical) and keeping my carb intake around 75 grams per days. We'll see how things go in the future, I'll probably allow myself a bit more leniency in the weeks ahead, but my wife will be continuing the diet as is, so I'm not likely to change my own habits much. Nice thing is with daily exercise and increased outdoor movement/activities with the nicer months ahead keeping "active" will be easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsley Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 6 weeks completed in low carb diet. Solid results. Latest weigh in: 158.2 lbs. Nearly 14 pounds less than late February. Astonishing to think that's basically all carb (sugar) related. Haven't waivered at all on food or exercise routine. I was away last weekend and did have a muffin for breakfast a few mornings. Otherwise, staying the course of zero pastas, breads, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash or Czech Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 You're killing it man! I started low carb last July. Weighed in this morning, down 39.2 pounds. It's crazy how much better I can control my calorie intake when I'm avoiding most bread, rice, and sugar. Easier to feel more satisfied with the calories I'm eating. Plus my workout measurables on Peloton are through the roof with the combo of less weight and more power. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keirik Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 So i've been trying to be a bit better between what I eat and also not having a nightcap of any kind for a bit of a while. Haven't weighed myself yet but last time was around 240 (I'm a little over 6'3) so figure just try to get slimmed down a bit and at least just feel a bit better most days. Going on 3 weeks and now that Passover is over, i should start shitting again so that'll help as well lol. For those that don't know, I have a pretty bad back injury right now from work so exercise really isn't exactly easy at all so that makes this a bit harder.

Diet alone (especially being a male) helps quite a bit. Exercise is bonus weight loss IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm good with the exercise, but bad with the diet. I try to diet it's just too hard for me at night during dinner and a little snack afterwards that cookie or two.

My remedy, an 8 oz glass of cold brew with a few ounces of unsweetened vanilla almond milk mixed in. For me, it takes the edge off the snack craving with basically no carbs. consumed. Coffee is definitely an ally in the dieting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It keeps me up a bit later most nights perhaps but doesn’t seem to impact my sleeping overnight.

Vodka Drunkenski Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I’ve included 10 push-ups every 1/2 mile when I go on my walks. Some people that happen to catch it look at me weird lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsley Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Quick update. About 2 months in and while I stopped weighing myself, definitely still slimming down (2 full belt buckle sizes). My guess is about 155 lbs, so closing in on 20 lb. drop thanks to keeping carb. intake around 75g daily. My wife just hit the 10 lb loss mark so I'm happy for her. Gives her motivation to continue on. Her goal was to drop 15-20 lb totals to get back to pre-having kids weight level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
