Re: Losing Weight with Andysutherland
I am actually pretty lean for my age 33 and eat good and bad. For the most part a lot of it for me is genetics. That said I did work with a diet a while back that allowed me to loose a lot of fat weight when I was on my get a six pack craze. I am posting this cause my wife and I went back on this diet today. I want to loose a little fat and she just had our third child and wants to loose 20-30lbs.
Some people call it a paleo diet. Basically you eat lean meat and green leafies with extremely minimal carbs during the day. This is not atkins. You dont eat fatty foods. By limiting carbs to 25 grams in the morning and 25 grams of carbs at lunch you force your body into ketosis where your liver converts fats for energy. The carbs must be low glycemic index. I will say that fat is not really your enemy. I know people that do this with a fatty diet and it works as well. The Key is limiting the carbs to under 60-70 for the day. My wife gave me crap about the diet till she tried it and had to eat her words. Helped my buddy at work with this diet and he has lost 40lbs in about 6 months. That said he is also in the gym every day. Anyway guys if you are intrested shoot me a PM and I can walk you through it. its not the funnest diet, but you do get a cheat day once a week and it works. |
