I went through a pretty big weight loss after a break up. It motivated the hell out of me.
I weighed 330 pounds and lost 165 pounds. I lost 165 pounds in the course of 3 years. Mostly because I had to learn about training and dieting on my own.
I’ve experimented with many different diets over the last 8 years: crash diets, keto, low carb, high protein, high carb, low fat, Mediterranean, UD2, rapid fat loss.
Only diets I haven’t tried that I was interested in was the Carnivore Diet, and the Vertical Diet.
All diets work when in a caloric deficit. The most important thing is what diet can you stick to that allows you to continue to lose weight for the duration of the goal. Because after we lose the weight…we have to realize that the weight lost also resulted from a lifestyle modification more than it did just the diet.
The most important thing to focus on is sustainability. Drastic changes in dieting and training have repercussions. When the goal is weight loss, and the weight lost, is regained +some, then our goal and hard work was kind of diminished.
I hope this helps. Keep on keeping on!
It’s been 7 years post weight-loss and I’ve kept 140 pounds off; only because my goals shifted to focusing on building muscle and bodybuilding.
