Stats:
Height: 6'2"
Weight on 6/7/03: 272 Age:36
Weight on 12/7/03: 210 (goal)
Weight on 2/14/04: 197 (lowest in 10 years or so)
Weight on 6/6/05: 200
Induction: 4 weeks
OWL: 4 months
Pre-M 2 months
Maintenance: 17 months
Current CCLM: 100-150 carbs/day
Current exercise:
3 days/week strength
1 day-5 hour strenuous hike
1 long run (6+miles)
3 moderate runs (2-3 miles)
Sample menu
Breakfast:
1 oz cheese, 2 eggs, occasionally turkey bacon, tall sugar-free soy latte
Lunch:
greek salad/chicken caeser salad
Snack:
nuts (probably way too many)
Dinner:
burger(no bun),salmon, steak, or pork
snap peas, baby broccoli, bok choy, salad
Snack:
fresh fruit (cherry,apple, banana, grapes, strawberry)
cheese
more nuts :no
lo-carb protein bar(only after workouts)
Basically it comes down to this:
Without exercise it won't stay off
Without not cheating it won't come off
You need to follow the plan as written.
When I was losing weight if I cheated I wouldn't lose weight for a whole week.
If I stop working out the pounds come back just like that.
During the holidays I ballooned back up to 209.
It's taken me literally all this time to get back to 200.
I know my body really well now. I know it is looking for every opportunity to stack on some pounds. I have to work really hard to keep it off.
Basically my choice is work out like a maniac or watch every bite of food. Fortunately I've found a middle ground where I watch most of my meals, but once in a while I'll eat something high carb (potatoes, fruit but not sugar or cake).
I think that's the secret to keeping it off...just eat in moderation...make sure it's healthy...and don't worry about occasional deviations. Keep regular workouts.
Well that's about it...feel free to ask me some questions on "how he did it"
