Best way to lose weight?

Randy Johnson · 11-08-2022, 09:04 AM

Completely stop eating for a few weeks...

I went from 310lbs to a consistent 180-185. Mainly from adding a lot of exercise, zero sugar, went vegan, cut processed food, and counted calories strictly. I gained some back (not nearly what it was) when COVID hit as depression set in too but trying to lose again. Self-discipline and consistency is what I feel was my biggest tool then and I'm trying to keep that back now.

100%
A person can have the best nutrition and exercise regiment available to them,yet without self discipline and consistency along with dedication and focus they'll never reach their fitness goals. I've seen this more and more in this age of instant gratification.

Kettlebells are shredding me up in ways that have made working out exciting again. Like that feeling I had when I first started bench pressing 20+ yrs ago. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

I've been implementing turkish get ups and single leg RDL, both with kettlebell. I feel as if it really has made me more stable during the squat and better positioning in the deadlift ever since I started doing more kettlebell accessories. I think next training block I will switch to KB swings and KB Overhead press and see how that translates over.

3 lbs reduction. Negligible size change. Slight reductions if any at all.

Log food daily in My Fitness Pal, Daily Yoga With Adrienne on YT, walking and/or aerobics.

Question, how do you eat vegan and not eat processed foods? Isn't the majority of vegan food heavily processed?

Hey there! Thanks for sharing your weight loss journey and tips. It's great to hear about your success with self-discipline and consistency. As for your question about eating vegan and avoiding processed foods, I think it's definitely possible to do both. There are plenty of wholes, plant-based foods that are not processed, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. Of course, there are also many vegan processed foods out there, but it's all about finding a balance that works for you and your health goals. By the way, I'm also on a weight loss journey, and I recently found some useful information about weight loss and nutrition from a personal trainer.

I'm new to this forum, so it's great to connect with others who are also working towards their health goals!

Ciuffo, by any chance? She was my first yogini in Ventura, used to love her standing on my thighs to get me pressed into the floor. And she always turned a blind eye when I hung in the swing a bit after she moved the rest of the class onto the next asana.

One trick my SIL used, and she has kept off 50+lbs for over 2 years: COVID loss of taste
