Daily reminder that it is much harder to lose weight by exercise instead of just eating less. Say you eat a big mac, how long do you have to run on the treadmill to burn that away, at least one hour. If you wanna lose weight, eat less.

I used to eat until I couldn't push a single thing down anymore, now I just eat until I'm not hungry anymore. Slow releasing carbs are important too, it makes it take longer before you get hungry again. It is a higher octane fuel for your body.

Another easy thing to do is simply only drinking water, stop drinking soda and alcohol. And most importantly, it takes a few months before you start seeing real results, so keep it going. Make it a part of your lifestyle.

If you're really fat, the thing you should be avoiding are carbs. Once your diet consists of protein, fat and plantmatter: you're body will be burning fats for energy to keep up with demand. When you consume fats for energy, the metabolic pathway for consuming fats is open. When you eat carbs; your fatcells will not release energy, rather they will try to store the excess carbs that are now floating inside your body without being used and causing harm. Fat cells make you hungry when they are in storage accept mode, this is why fat people get hungrier and hungrier as they get more fat.

I would suggest a 4 day fast where you drink nothing but water and tea to at least get rid of the gut bacteria that are in constant demand for carbs. Once those are out of your system, you can start eating fats, proteins and plantmatter.

Yeah plus you will hit plateaus where your hormone system has to adjust a bit before you can start making progress again. So don't panic when that happens. Just normalize your diet for a couple months and then start dieting again.

Good post but disagree with the last part. I've lost 10 kilos in just over 3 weeks by going plant based and getting around 7-8 hours of moderate and vigorous exercise done a week.

Your opinion hardly matters until you've actually become normal weight. When you're a fatass any dieting and exercise will help. Becoming both muscular and lean is the real challenge. I mean congrats on your progress but hearing a lardass preach about a plant based diet is laughable.
