Sheth let me start by saying I'm a huge fan! I personally have been battling/warring against my weight for 6 years now. I've read much about the subject, and tried so many different things. It has been incredibly frustrating finding something that actually works for me. That being said this year has gone very well for me. I have dropped about 50 pounds and I'm looking good =p. This might sound lame but this will be the first year going into the new year where losing weight wont be a new years resolution and it brings a smile to my face every time I think about it! The following are rules I follow when deciding what to eat.

Carbohydrates = Sugar. Carbohydrates are your worst enemy. I have almost cut them completely from my diet. Not completely because you do need some for energy and brain power. My rules for carbs are simple. If its green it makes you lean. I don't eat bread, pasta, things with breading, starchy vegetables like potatoes,and I stay away from sugar. Its way to easy to over eat carbs. Eating pasta and bread is basically the same as eating icecream its all sugar. My diet now only has carbs in the form of oatmeal every morning for energy. And fresh vegetable steamers *remember no potatoes or follow the rule green makes you lean!*

Protein should be the main focus of your diet. Protein fills you up and helps fight cravings but on top of that your body actually has a hard time digesting it. This means that you actually burn like 25% of the calories in protein before your body can turn it into anything usable. This is great for weight loss purposes because if you over eat its not as world ending.

Fat really isn't that bad for you. lol I might get flamed for that comment but what you are trying to do is train your body to burn fat instead of using carbs for energy. Remember carbs are bad. It might sound strange but eating a 16oz ribeye steak is actually better for weight loss than eating a small bowl of macaroni. Don't rule foods out if they have some fat in them. A little fat is no problem.

In the end its calorie in/ calorie out. To lose weight you have to burn more than you take in period. It takes both diet and exercise and unfortunately I've found its much more about diet than exercise. If you work out but still eat a lot you wont lose weight. When I first started I also thought if I worked out really hard one day it sort of carried over to the next day so I could eat more. This isn't true at all lol. You have to do it everyday. Its a lifestyle change more than a diet and weight loss routine.

This last part is very sad Sheth and I almost don't want to say it. Your fat cells actually sort of remember what weight you used to be. This means that as you lose weight your body is actually being told that it needs to put on weight. So your portions actually have to get smaller and smaller to keep losing weight. And if you quit on your diet even if its only for a week or so, it can mean bad things for putting on weight. This is a lifestyle change! Its so unfair for people with metabolism s like us. And it sucks watching thin people eat things you wont ever be allowed to eat again. But life isn't fair I guess.

PS
This is my very first post on teamliquid lol. After reading it for years it was this topic that actually got me motivated to finally post something. I wish you the best of luck! Sorry for the TLDR post

Work at it no matter how much you hurt or how tired you are or how much you want to quit. I wish you all the best Sheth. I am happy to see you taking a stand for your health, and hopefully we get to see you looking better, happier, and healthier in future events.

I have no evidence other than persona experience to back this up, and I'm not in your situation, but I find chewing gum and drinking water really cuts down on the mindless munching I feel compelled to do while sitting in front of a computer all day.

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED, i'm at about 350 struggling to lose this garbage for a long time, maybe the competition will help both of us reach our goals. sheth fighting!

you guys should somehow have incentives for it... like if you beat Sheth in losing weight, you get free coaching for a year or something :D


lol that'd be nice but I think the competition + getting healthy is the best incentive!

I'm in! I've been 'trying' to lose weight for a little while now but lack motivation. Always start of great but after a few days/weeks I stop bothering ;< so this might just be what I need.
Now I just need to get over my fear of stepping on the scale..!

I went from 245 lb at the start of 2011 to 188 (6'2"). You can do it, stick to a plan and stay motivated. Sometimes it's hard to realize how much weight you are losing because of the gradual nature of weight loss so keep a photojournal of your progress and when you look back to how you were months ago, you'll feel a lot better.

Best of luck to you. Small tip is to cut out as much sugar as possible, doing so helped me drop approximately a 1/3rd of my weight over 1.5yrs and i was decently overweight at the time.

Best of luck Sheth! I believe you can do it!!
My old coach used to say:"The hardest thing about training is to put on those running-shoes and go outside". So true...
Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not. 파이팅! ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ"

You can do it man. If you put in 1/4 of the time you do gaming everyday, and start to eat healthier, you will slim down my mang.
