It is that time of year again. Fatasses in front of computers must lose weight and get ripped.
Anyone up for some friendly competition?
I want to drop 5 kgs in 3 months, not a huge task, but all motivation helps.
Current weight is 96kg and goal weight is 90kg (yes, I'm a big mofo). I'd also like to be able to clean and press 100kg this year. And finding some methods to workout while in the office.
Lets hear the fitness goals of WF. I won't let this thread die, even if that means posting incredibly mundane progress reports.
You have to ask yourself one thing though: Do you even lift bro?
96kg? What's your height mate?
I'm 184 cm and right now I'm around 94 (+/- 2kg). Currently I'm going down to 88kg in next 60 days. I am not fat, my BF is around 16-17% at this moment. Once I'm done it should be around 13-15%.
I will give you my recipe for weight loss here.
BTW, some people are asking me
"Andrew why you don't want to eat doughnuts. It's not summer yet? Those doughnuts are soo delicious..."
First of all I never eat doughnuts and all that crap. But they are still asking me like I'm one of them. Don't know but some people just don't want to listen.
Secondly, you are in this special
elite 2% group that is clever enough to figure out that going on a weight loss diet when is July is probably a bit too late.
So here it is. Keep in mind it's what is working for me (not only for me of course) and it doesn't have to work for you as well.
ENTER the MEAT DIET and KETOSIS
Yeah... again this stupid unhealthy high fat rubbish however, you might give it a go.
Here is basic set of rules.
1) You don't count calories. Counting calories on this diet might be counterproductive. In first two three weeks you just eat Ad Libitum and you should not be thinking about stupid calories. Yes, this is not easy taking into account you are indoctrinated to think weight loss=less calories.
2) You eat ONLY and ONLY animal products (there is even an option for you if you are vegetarian or anything of that sort)
3) To get best results you eat only beef, chicken and pork meats. Fat or lean it doesn't matter. And you eat whole eggs (not just whites... that is stupid. Even our modern "natural" bodybuilders eat whole eggs. If you try to eat only lean meat suddenly, you will find yourself eating more fat meats. And that's natural and good for ya and all is going to be fine.
4) You can eat fried, boiled, grilled or smoked meats. It doesn't really matter as long as you try to eat at least half medium rare or rare (sure, if you like blue that's fine). So the in the best case scenario you would eat at least 50% medium fried beef and then all the other meats.
5) For frying and roasting you should use only animal fats like clarified butter (Ghee) or pork fat. If it's a low temperature cooking you can use olive oil as well.
6) If you want to snack you can have some mature cheese (hard and yellow).
7) You supplement with cod liver oil and D3. Also, get yourself a deal of Sodium Ascorbate and eat about 5-10 grams a day to amke sure you are not vitamin C deficient (you should not be but, depending on your meat source mineral and vitamin contents w vary a lot).
8) If you like organ meats eat them! Any will do good for ya.
9) Eggs are the best when cooked gently and with addition of butter (in general you don't want hard boiled eggs. You can eat as many as you like).
10) Bacon is fine, just don't make it too dry.
11) Drink as much mineral water as you wish/
12) Drink green tea. Is good for you also.
While doing this kind of eating try to focus on heavy lifts. No "pink dumbbell exercises" and other funny things. Just proper heavy lifts.
Now, if you are on a high carb diet already your strength will suffer a lot. You will need a few weeks to get over it. However, taking into account that you are dieting anyway you should not expect to get your lifts much better even on a carb based diet. That's why you have to chose... or losing fat without compromise or getting stronger. Both can't work together*.
You don't need to worry about losing muscles. Optically you might find yourself smaller but, it's just because glycogen stores will get depleted and water will come out of you.
Initial weight loss will be a result of loosing glycogen and water and some ugly things that are seating in your guts (initially you will get diarrhea probably but, that's normal when switching from carbs to fat and proteins).
Don't worry about your kidneys. It's all just hype and propaganda made by plant eaters.
Also, you don't have to eat organic meat. Just regular grade is ok. Make sure it's fresh and not spoiled in any way.
You may develop constipation so if that happens take your time in the toilet and don't try to rush the process. It will come out, don't worry. If you will get into some serious troubles with it, get some herbs or pills to unblock your pipe.
And that's all to be honest. If you decide to get into it then ask and I will be happy to give you some ropes.
*You can if you use Testosterone Enanthate. It will speed up fat burring and keep your strength and even give you some muscle gains.
P.S You might find out that, in the first weeks, that you are heavier but it will not be caused by fat rather by muscles gains. Unless you have some condition. That's why is always good to make a basic panel before the diet to find out what's up with your body. If your cholesterol and TCG is very bad then you might want to start this diet by slowly reducing carbs and introducing fats. However, most likely rapid change of the diet will give you good results unless you are 50 and over.
