Getting in shape 2017 / 2018

I make a shake with vanilla protein strawberries banana blueberries and natural peanut butter. It's usually my breakfast after a workout.  For chocolate protein it's usually banana and natural peanut butter. I use almond milk as the base for both.

That's a lot of sugar/carbs. Too much for me right now lol. Maybe when I get to where I'm maintaining weight.

Not refined sugar so it's fine. Red berries help cut fat.  Yes, blueberries are considered red.

Plus it's a meal replacement shake.

I'm less than a week into this... but I'm trying out an intermittent fasting (IF) routine.  Basically you fast for 16 hours a day, and eat during the other 8.  I've been fasting from 8:30pm to 12:30pm.  Basically avoiding any late eating and also breakfast. 

Lots of stuff about it on the web, including some medical journal stuff about possible benefits beyond just weight loss. 

We'll see how it goes.  I haven't been hungry all week doing it...

PSA - Costco has 18 packs of Premier Protein on sale for $20.

Protein drink Kevin.  Super good. I drink one every day. 

Thanks for the heads up Mike. I’ll stop by

Ok..... I have a protein bar everyday

Check the sugar content.

Yes I do.... 1 to 2 grams sugar depending on flavor
Pure Protein has the best numbers for me as far as
on Weight Watchers
and as far as protein powder MusclePharm Combat
Protein Powder has the best numbers.

How'd you lose the 60 pounds originally?  Clearly you know what to do just a matter of doing it!

Started serious again today.

I do, and I am.  Dr supervised low calorie diet.  It's really painful for the first 2 weeks, and then it gets better.

Okay Doug, I'll tell you the secret to losing weight ... DISCIPLINE!!!!!  There is no magic pill.  If it has refined sugar or white flour in it, you cannot eat it, period.  Nada, NO, stay away from it.  No donuts, bagels, bread, etc.  Not even a bite.  Eat lean meat and stay away from red meat except once a week.  Get your heart rate up for 30 minutes every day.  Eat fiber and only drink water.  Stay away from alcohol for at least a month.  You can take less severe paths but it will take longer. 


Now the real secret.  If you want to keep the weight off, make the better eating a lifestyle and don't go back to the old way of eating.  Sure, you can have a cheat meal once a week and eat whatever you want, but if you go back to eating like you have been, the weight will come back on.


The other benefit, you'll live longer. 


Good luck and let us know how it goes and if you need support!
