No grains no sugar

So let me get this straight....the very same cereal grains we managed to domesticate, grow, store, and eat for thousands of years is somehow "unhealthy" for us now.

Right.

Not an attack on you, but that mindset is pants-on-head retarded, and ranks up there with the "gluten is evil" insanity.

People are getting fat as fuck because they're eating more calories and exercising less. Period. From the work place, to the home, technology has reduced the amount of energy we need to exert to work and play here in the west, and people aren't compensating for the change by eating fewer calories or exercising more to burn them off.

Diets are all bound to fail, you need to make it your lifestyle to be consistently healthy. It's really stupidly simple to stay healthy and in good shape. Burn more calories than you eat, eat healthy whole foods, exercise regularly. Stay away from any processed foods and fast-food. I'm 57 quickly heading for 58 and have maintained that motto throughout my life. Most that don't know my age think I'm in my 40's and I can outrun most 30 year olds in soccer.

From time to time I'll slack off either eating crap, or slow down on exercise. The body starts to feel the effects, but even at my age now, a few weeks of getting back on track and I'm back to the weight and shape I want to be in. It gets harder and harder as you age, meaning adjusting your intake and increasing your exercise. But it works regardless of age.

So because we can grow, store and harvest something for thousands of years means it cant be bad for you?
Well that blows my whole theory out of the water.

Here I've been thinking that grains trigger fat storing hormones.

For me i have to stop enjoying wobbly pop and start exercising. At first it blows but as you lose weight you feel better. You live longer. I need to do that for my kids and grandkids. Office work is bad for it. I am retiring asap. next year max so i can work on me and stop stressing about work. !

The reason I push the no grains no sugar thing is for the people who cant stick the the calories in calories out routine. If you can, awesome
Eat up.

Some people are metabolically broken they aren't weak they are driven by a crazy starving feeling which is driven by hormones.

With my way that calorie counting shit stops
They eat and they get full.

Why do you think the diet industry is booming. These people are desperate and will try anything.

Next some dickhead in a lab creates a diet bar full of grains n sugar

Guess what, its going to make you fat, hungry, and looking to buy another energy bar.

Its genius.

The food pyramid we grew up with is stupid. This is not new info but the people who tried to go against the Grain n sugar were made to look crazy.

Just like I do. Lol

GREAT ADVICE

And excercise. Like a 30 minute walk outside is all it takes but do it every day. Cut out the soda and drink water etc. It adds up fast.

I haven't watched this because im already very familiar with these concepts.
I have read his books but if you are tired of the bullshit check this out.

Nope. That's not the reason grains aren't bad for you.

The reason grains aren't "bad for you" is because every single ancient empire that managed to successfully grow, store, and distribute "evil" grains to their citizens not only managed to survive, but grow, prosper, and thrive. It was GRAINS that fueled the ancient Egyptian, Roman, and even Persian empires, and it was grains that brought Europe back from the brink of destruction after the plagues that wiped out millions.

It was the development of agriculture focusing on the domestication of common cereals and grains that was responsible for creating the civilization we know today, and dragging us out of the hunter / gatherer phase of our development.

Well you and I clearly won't agree on grains..
Not the end of the world.

No protein?

Hell, toss in a can of sardines or a couple of hard boiled eggs, at least. Looks great otherwise.

Exercise and watch what you eat it really is important to avoid consuming unhealthy food.

I added Sriracha pumpkin seeds, but that picture didn't turn out as good. For my two fast days {Tuesday and Thursday} there is always leftovers, so I just add some of whatever we have. Yesterday I had grilled chicken, so I added that to the mix.

This time the 5/2 has been slower. I'm only down to 193 from 210. But several times my fast days were the only days that worked for social events. But I still try to stay as low as possible. Instead of the all you can eat seafood buffet, I had grilled chicken and a salad Tuesday night.

I found eating salad wraps helped a lot i went from 95 kilos to 77 kilos in about three months. id put on some ham or chicken on the wraps and also went to the gym a lot but didnt really exercise all that much. A few surfs a week and the odd bike road to shops very close to home was about it.
I decided against bread and things went really well. alos cut out suger but ate bacon and eggs a lot still and lost weight.
Suger is the killer.

I love bread and butter, but limit myself to a roll or a couple of slices a day.

Cutting out the carbs will put in that keto state. In keto you’ll burn fat easy.

Ok, I read up on keto and today is day one. I found ibreathimhungry.com and printed up the week one plan.

We followed the grocery list, shopped, and cooked most of yesterday. I drank one beer yesterday and once i get about 20-25 off the gut it'll be a treat.

I'll incorporate exercise soon but want to make sure the diet sticks. In the past I found that once I start losing weight I want to exercise. It just happens.

Fasting is now proven to increase the odds of getting diabetes by 40%.....I just read a report last night on it. Not a great idea anymore.

I second this. A ketogenic diet has done wonders for my health over the years.
