No matter what you do unless you keep doing it you will bloat back up.
That's what they mean by its not a diet it is a lifestyle.
Find a way to eat that will get you where you want to be and continue eating that way.
Whatever food path you choose to live with I would start it with a 30 day reset. Something like "the whole 30"
Then choose a path...
Nsng, keto, etc
Throw away anything in the kitchen that will tempt you
Abs are made in the kitchen.
You cant out run a bad diet, yada, yada.
Notice I did not mention exercise,
It is not a good way to lose weight.
It simply creates hunger hormones that you will
A respond to by eating shitty food
B live miserable while ignoring it.
Its about hormones and how you trigger them with food.
Grains and sugar are not your friend.
Meat, veg and fruit are great.
Just skip the potato due to the starch becoming sugar.
No fruit juice because the sugar has been stripped from the fiber.
Now it is a big glass of sugar.
Exercise for health and fitness but
Eat for weight loss.
If you eat nsng (no grain, no sugar) you will never feel deprived except for the first couple weeks.
My recommendation is nsng, google vinnie tortorich. He has finally made a quickstart guide.
If you are a very disciplined person go keto. Im not that disciplined.
Extra credit if you fast for 12 hours between your first and last meal in a 24 hour cycle
Some things to consider
Potatoes are the devil,
Regular milk is the devil but hard cheeses and cream is ok
Because lactose converts to sugar
Grains, sugar, starch, lactose all
Trigger the hormones that are causing you to hold fat and feel like you are
Starving.
Stick with 1 eating style.
Eating fat is good unless you pair it with things that convert to sugar.
STOP EATING SUGAR OR THINGS
THAT CONVERT TO SUGAR.
Have a plan, Go study no grain no sugar from Vinnie Tortorich.
If you reach a plateau cut the fruit.
So much more to say but Vinnie has said it already. He also has a podcast
You really have no carb requirment
Your body will convert what it needs.
Your brain runs very well on fat.
Don't let people scare you, unless you
Have a serious medical condition keto, or nsng will actually lower blood pressure etc..
High level athletes are surviving very well like this.
Last thing is this, you will feel full and be satisfied if you are able to follow simple instructions.
No reason why I typed all this other than that I hate to see people try and fail and eventually give up.
You are not hungry because your fat
You are hungry because your body is trying to get fat because you are fucking with hormones via food.
The 30 day crash course is to get your metabolic crisis in order, from there
Eat smartly and SLOWLY you will get there
