like 5 kg in a week!? didn't know paleo would flush out the water retention with such extreme speed. Guess you might not read this post, but anyway; many people are disheartened when they initially lose a lot of weight due to lessened water retention, and then slow down or just stop weight loss. Don't be, normally water retention is somewhat cyclic with "flushes" like the one you've now experienced, the loss of fat, the important loss, WILL be constant but potentially masked by water.
Starting with overweight and doing any paleo-esque strictly is fail-safe. Good luck!

Agree with above post. When you cut out carbs and salt, and start a decifit, you'll see a very large loss from water weight and GI track emptying. It'll slow after the first week or two, and you'll see something closer 2-5 lbs a week depending on how much you have to lose. As CYFAWS said, it'll cycle a bit, so just push through each little plateau, and stay strict. It's a great program and a great plan! Keep it up, dude! :-)

I admire you for what you're doing Sheth. It requires a lot of courage to do stuff like this and I sincerly hope you'll succeed and that you'll be back stronger than ever in Starcraft.
Good luck Shawn!
It's good to be back

I know you've said you're doing the Paleo diet, but I just want to bring up something else you may be able to discuss with those close to you. My friend recently went through a Ketogenic diet and made a Google doc regarding it. He lost 80lbs in about 9 months, with not much exercise.

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2xaOHd77bi9ekd0SWJqaHVnM0U/edit?pli=1

I encourage those interested to give it a read and perhaps give it a try. It's a pretty tough diet if you don't have the resources to completely ignore carbs, but it's a pretty effective diet for straight fat loss. Once you've gotten down to a level you're comfortable with, you can reasonably re-introduce carbs along with exercise to keep yourself at a good phase.

All that said, glad you're taking the time to focus on yourself and your health. Everyone knows how manner you are, and we can only wish you success in whatever you're doing now and in the future. Hopefully we can see you happier, healthier and back playing soon.

Great to hear you have an 'expert' helping you out whenever you need it! I think stopping playing or reducing it a lot is a good option too and change it with a hobby like Tennis or whatever you like. Just like Ret did, if i don't recall wrong.

Good luck man. Keep us updated!

I have been doing cross fitting/ Paleo myself for 4 months now and I would just like to say that Paleo really works, stick to it and hope you return to SC2 soon

Nazgul is an incredibly nice man, it's good to see how well he takes care of his players. Big ups to teamliquid, and good luck on the diet.

Best of luck to you Sheth! It is courageous of you to make such a commitment to getting yourself healthy at the expense of your passion for competing in sc2, but I am sure that you will come back from it happier, healthier, and more motivated than ever.

As a side note, have you ever considered that the whole playing with your keyboard in your lap thing contributes to the pains in your hands? Do you think this is a problem and are you looking to try and change in the future?

Gogo Sheth!

Excercise will not only get easier but start to feel really really good and whenever you feel like you cant go anymore just force out a smile and it will get easier. Worked really well for me.

Gl hf!

I'm a doctoral candidate in Immunology and because you are of white European descent cutting out wheat will do wonders for you (gluten is inflammatory in nature to all people of European descent)! Paleo is a great diet - science approved!
A lot of people base their diets off of the food pyramid... but what people don't realize is that it was developed by politicians and at the time the US had tons of grain crops and tons of dairy farmers... so naturally that's what they put on the pyramid as the things you "need most".

I'm glad you found this diet cause it really is one of the best! Good luck and keep it up!

Sheth,

You should start doing BJJ. Brazilian Jiu-jitsu...... its amazing exercise and a great learning experience. I know a couple 300lb'ers who started and they didn't stay that heavy for long. One guy was 300+ in march when he started, by September he was 220.

Especially great if you've done/liked wrestling before. Plus its a 1v1 sport, with lots of strategy and tactics.

Good luck

If you're on a diet, is eating sandwiches and just fruit okay? If you eat this meal 2-3 a day.
Play the game like a RPG, if you don't play you will not level up; you will always be behind.

I've been in the army for 4 years and this is by far the best and easiest diet to follow. When I read the headline I was really hoping you came across this diet. It will work,. The only ingredient left is time.

One tip. Once the weight is down buy some sort of minimal shoe to run in. I like the new balance Minimus. Once you get used to running on the tips of your feet and using your calves to absorb the shock, you'll be able to rely on running as big source of your exercise. Knee problems come from landing on your heels.

Good Luck Sheth !

There'll be a time when you'll be forced to play with the keyboard on your desktop because you'll be so sharp that there'll no longer be enough space to put it on your legs
SC2 is the best game to watch and was the best to play before I grew old and slow...
