I lost 25 lbs in 80 days

Yep, low carb diet helps.


March 5th, 223 lbs



Today, May 25th, 198 lbs

 

Thanks. My target is 175 lbs. But this experience has changed me forever. I will never be a big carb consumer again. Maybe some icecream once in awhile but that will be pretty much it. Remember that your 1,500 calories should be real calories. Remember the 4 boiled eggs vs. one donut calorie comparison. 4 boiled eggs will do a lot of good to your body, while a donut will do nothing but harm. And don't believe the people who make the eggs the villain, they are not. The potatoes and the bread that you eat with those eggs are the actual villain. If you eat the eggs with garlic, onions, olive oil and leafy greens, your body will thank you.

 

I found some nutritional powerhouses during this journey and I want to share them here.
1) Hemp seeds
2) Chia Seeds
3) Pumpkin Seeds
4) Sardines
5) Almonds
6) Pecans
7) Walnuts
8) Avocado
9) Leafy greens like spinach, kale and arugula
10) Beets(Has high sugar but the rest of your diet will mitigate that)
11) Garlic, onions, ginger and turmeric
11) The four berries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries.
12) Full fat plain Greek yogurt
13) Black coffee and green tea. You will be amazed how black coffee kills appetite
14) Eggs
15) Non-starchy veggies like cauliflower, broccoli and eggplants
16) Fiber supplement just in case.

 

First meal of the day after 18 hours. Greek Yogurt, nuts, seeds, avocado, and berries. A good 20 grams of protein, healthy fats, minimal carbs and lots of fiber.

 

Second and last meal of the day that I will have at 4. Then no more food till 4 tomorrow. Going for a 24 hour fast.
4 eggs, olive oil, onions, garlic, ginger, turmeric, tomatoes, black pepper, vinegar, and beets. And a can of Sardines.

 

Like the breakfast cereals that have billions of marketing behind them. They promise all kinds of health benefits lol. And all those multivitamin and supplements bottles. If you eat those foods that I listed above reguarly, you don't need supplements. And stuff in nature come as a package. You can't just take a Vitamin D pill and call it good, it doesn't work like that. You need more nutrients to be able to absorb that Vitamin D. If you eat Sardines regularly, don't waste your money on those Vitamin D, B12 and fish oil supplements.
And let's not forget the protein powders lol. You can get so much hemp seeds and eggs with the money spent on protein powders. And unlike those protein powders, hemp seeds and eggs are a total package so the protein absorption is higher and safer.
