Modena1983s diet log

[modena1983]

Starting this to help figure out where I am currently going wrong and to find out what I am doing right.

Height: 6' .5" (yeah thats a half inch)
Weight: 234 (as of 9/26/09)
Goal weight: 180-185 I think.



Trying to lose the last few pounds of adipose. Was 320 pounds at my peak, have gotten down to 234 doing low carb(veggies, fiber and cottage cheese only generally 55-65 grams a day). Open to new ideas and or strategies. Prolly going to start with something similar to RFL or keto.

I wonder if the cheat meal at the end saved the day? I.e. i am normally eating to little. Maybe I will up calories this week instead.

How has your weight loss been in the last month?

 

[modena1983]

Locked in the 233-237 range, pretty frustrating after averaging 2-3 pounds a week weight loss. However my strength is at an all time and I mean all time as in PR levels.

I was just curious. I'm the type that puts a lot less stock into nutrient timing and what you are eating compared to just focusing on a calorie deficit. What has worked for me is trying to cut as many calories as possible while maintaining normal energy levels, but also keeping the protein up. For me, it was just cutting portions and cutting little things out here and there. My weight loss has slowed recently, and now I'm looking into other ways to cut calories. I haven't really seen your diet besides one day's entry, but I just wanted to give my 2 cents. Be prepared for the, "WHERE THE HELL ARE THE VEGGIES!?!?"

 

[modena1983]

They stopped as I am trying to stay away from carbs that influence insulin Sinister commented in another thread the veggies influence insulin. So I was skipping them, as well as the cottage cheese. Last week i averaged 2250 calories a day.

 

[modena1983]

a quick BMR calculator has me at 2267 without activity. Factoring in activity its 3174.
This is a fairly conservative estimate.

 

[romistrub]

Have you considered looking into leptin and the response to prolonged caloric defecit? If you're getting stuck at a certain weight, you should.

I'm stuck in the 210s right now, but "stuck" is just a way for me to say that I'm being too lenient with my diet. My exercise is pretty good (twice a day, typically), but I usually just eat modest portions when I'm hungry, which is probably a bad idea if I want to get to sub-200s.

Congrats on the progress so far, by the way!

Are you that sensitive to insulin? Is there a certain reason you are trying to do ketosis? Anyway if you are, I think you can get away with a few fibrous veggies.

Thanks. My diet has been good not to lenient and i ramped up may cardio (22.5 miles total last week). I wonder if I am eating to little. I have not looked into leptin.

I think I am thoroughly insulin insensitive for one. I was simply thinking about trying true ketosis vs low carb. I think for next week I will eat a bit more say 2800 calories and add my veggies back in and see what happens.
