F4T6UY’s Big Fat Thread of Accountability

I would cut down on the salt. Ya said a bunch of salt. Lemon juice works as a salt substitute on some stuff. Just a few sprinkles on some things. Don't know if it would work like that with salsa tho.

 

Apple cider vinegar works well as a salt sub

 

That salsa looks pretty good F4T6UY!

I have never made salsa but have thought about it. I'll have to give it a try.

 

I just do 23 hours of fasting and eat about 2lbs of food in one hour. Been loosing weight about 3lbs a week. Did this diet 2 years ago with about 50lb loss but gained back once I started eating 3 times a day.

Started my plan again 3 days ago with a 48 hr fast, and instantly down 10 pounds in 2 days. It’s a wonder how much food our intestines hold.

weighing yourself before sleep, first thing waking up, right after you visit the guard shack to drop your load, gives you a sense of how much food you can eat in one day. I stopped counting calories because of this.

Example:

I weigh 269 before I go to sleep 4 hours after I eat, I weigh 266 (dry weight before water and coffee) in the morning after full 8 hours sleep. (Hrs of sleep is very important). Now after water and coffee I visit the guard shack to drop my load, weigh myself again to see how heavy the load was. At this time I know exactly how much load I produce after full night sleep. Giving me a ball park figure of how much I can eat. Now when it comes time to eat I’m down even more since I haven’t eaten anything all day. Only drinking water and coffee. I am about 266 right before I eat, and I know this includes water weight so I’m really 265 or 264 dry. Now I can eat 2lbs of food and I’ll be around 268-269 including water.

but you say your at 269 again so your not losing. You are correct if and only if you don’t understand how some of the laws of the universe work.

you cant produce more energy then you put in.

taking into account that my body needs about 4200 calories to maintain its current weight but I’m consuming only about 3200 calories.


Daily diet includes lots of meat. Little if no bread, maybe a tortilla or 2, but always at the end never in the beginning.

I’ve eaten 3-4lbs of beef/chicken/pork and not gained weight the next day. Soon as I include bread and eat 2-4 times a day it’s a whole different story.


Hope that gives you insight, because if we use the same mentality we use on our trucks (we know every sound, crackle, pop and can tell if somethings off) we can know when and how much to eat.


Also giving our intestines and stomachs a rest of more than 8 hours starts a process called autophagy or something like that where your stomach and intestines starts repairing itself.

 

My wife switched us to Redmond Real Salt, and I put it on everything. My blood pressure is getting better, but my weight is down too. There's no way I could say it's a benefit directly related to switching, but it's definitely not hurting anything.

The important thing is to not give up. Even small changes can make a big difference.

 

that’s true 270lbs is different for everyone, because 270 at 5’9” is about 4500 but 270 at 6’2” is less then that.

as far as calorie counting what I mean is I already know what a steaks calorie is by remembering so or even a chicken breast.

my main goal of my calculation is if my body digests 2lbs of food a night, and I maintain my weight and I don’t drop or gain, then if i eat less then 2lbs I’m automatically negative. Now I get it that 2lbs of cake has more calories than 2lbs of beef, but you understand what I mean.

carbs and sugars are out of my diet. I stick to veggies and meat and 2lbs of that is no where near the calories needed to maintain my weight. because 2lbs of steak alone is about 1700 calories.


hope it helps.
