Okay so the scale told me I weigh 252.6 lbs on October 1st. In total, I've lost over 102 lbs! There wasn't a change on my waistline, it is still 44 inches, so that keeps the total waistline loss at 14 inches.
How am I doing this?
I've completely eliminated sugar and grains from diet. I have also changed the ratios of what I eat to 60% fat, 25% protein, 15% carbohydrates.
What is your menu?
For breakfast I have coffee with coconut oil, a gelatine packet, and a splash of heavy cream. Sometimes I add cinnamon or nutmeg when I'm feeling frisky. Lunch is usually eggs and bacon with cheese and salsa. Dinner is usually meat or fish with a cruciferous vegetable with butter or cheese.
What about exercise?
Exercise is a poor way to lose weight. There I said it! You have to change your thinking. Lose weight at the table, and then get stronger and faster in the gym. I run three times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I run for 30 to 45 minutes keeping my heart rate between 145 to 151 beats per minute. Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays I work out with some DIY exercise straps, resistance bands, and good old fashioned push ups. Sunday is typically spent cleaning up the house and doing other chores on my "rest" day.
That's really all I do! Unfortunately, I have to be "that" guy when I go out to eat because I have to ask the waitstaff a ton of questions.
