Its too hard so just give up and be fat

Which is it then?

OP don't listen to this. If you restrict calories you will lose weight. Make sure you are getting your vitamins and other nutrition. Keeping it off after you lose it is up to you. I think you will see how hard it was to lose it, you won't want to gain it back.

1200 calories is not sustainable long term for an adult male. Suddenly jumping to only 1200 calories is binging.
Eating at a reasonable caloric deficit for a reasonable amount of time is how people who are successful with weight loss accomplish it.

I've been on myfitnesspal for 1500 consecutive days ..I went from 270 to 160lbs mostly on counting calories and road cycling ...1200-1500 calories is a normal day for me even with 45-to an hour on the bike ..anything higher than that and I start to gain.

It's not supposed to be sustainable - he's trying to lose weight.  And - depending on your size and activity level - 1200 isn't hard to live on if you do it right.  I've been eating <= 1200/day for the last 8 months, gone from 245 to 180, and feel better than I have since I was a teenager.  I'm actually fine-tuning my diet as we speak to go from losing to maintaining as I get closer to my goal of 170, and it's going to end up at not much more than 1200.

What you eat is just as (if not more) important as how much you eat.  Calories in/calories out is bullshit; all energy sources are not created equal and they are processed, stored or burned in different ways.  Appetite, satiety, cravings, binging... they're all controlled by hormones produced in response to what foods you are consuming, and the real secret to long-term, sustainable success is orchestrating the hormone dance - not sweat and willpower.

He has to eat right the rest of his life, or he’s wasting his time and potentially damaging his metabolic system. That is the “sustainable” portion. That’s why so many people fail, they “go on a diet” and don’t actually change their lifestyle.

Let me tell you guys a secret: keto works because it restricts your caloric intake in a manner you find acceptable and satiating. Just like paleo works for some people, or portion control and eating low caloric density works for me.

So, back in the day when I was in my 20's. I was loading trucks at UPS, running 5k's, lifting weights, doing Martial arts 3 times a week.  I hit Wendy's every day at lunch for a triple cheese, large fry and shake. Not counting breakfast and dinner which might be cheese dip with sausage. I could not gain weight. Then when I got out of school, quit UPS, started the desk job in a office. I gained 10lbs the first week.
Now I am 64, I try to stay around 1200 cals per day, Vegan diet which to me means no animal products, works for me, might not work for anyone else. My best friend had triple by pass at 53, that got my attention. Forks over Knives on Net flix

This is somewhat true (for calories, not weight), but what’s more important is WHAT you eat. it’s almost impossible to gain weight by eating a high protein/low carb diet where most of your carbs come from fiberous vegetables.

That’s indisputable, but the energy required to break down protein, fat & carbs isn’t equal & neither is the energy output in different humans.

The human body doesn’t light a hamburger on fire to fuel a boiler in your stomach, which is how calories are measured in various foods.

The basic rule of calories in calories out & “a calorie is a calorie” can only be applied as a general principal to younger healthy humans who aren’t overweight. Which for most people looking to lose weight in America isn’t the case. It’s about as useful as BMI, the reality is more complex & only applies to certain groups.

This is where the discussion always falls apart.

Technically, you are correct.  On a human level, with hormones and metabolism, it doesn't work.  If it did, more people would succeed.

If you eat fat and protein, you tend to stop when you've consumed what you need.  If you eat Frosted Flakes, pancakes, or Chinese food, you tend to crave more food despite having met your caloric needs.

And once you eat carbs, insulin kicks in.  Insulin causes your body to change the way it treats calories.  it causes you to tend to store energy in cells.

How does this not make sense?

CICO is technically correct- it just doesn't matter much if you're a human being.  Your body treats different macros differently.

How about this:  Your body naturally regulates itself on a CICO basis, UNTIL you short circuit the whole system by overloading it with carbs.  Carbs make you tired, so you move less; carbs make you hungry, so you eat more.

But good luck with your chosen path.

In my experience, carbs are fine as long as they are eaten in moderation and scaled to your activity level. That way the glucose is used by your muscles for energy rather than raising blood sugar, causing an insulin spike and storing the excess as fat.

But for people who are overweight and have metabolic damage, it’s better to severely limit carbs. Being in ketosis isn’t necessary for weight loss for this group, but it can help for short term fat loss & as a treatment for certain medical issues.

I’m a believer in slow & permanent changes to eating habits, rather than extreme overnight attempts that are not sustainable. This advice applies to anyone, overweight or not.

I'm thinking of getting back on the weight loss train again...here is my dilemma: BMI says borderline obese, but that doesn't mean anything (broad shoulders, tons of muscle in legs, gut is small enough that I can still see a six pack there under an inch of fat). BMI is shit science.

I did a company program with incentives just to see what happened - tracked everything I ate. I ate less, did more activity, and went ten pounds down. I also felt weak all the time. Quit doing the program and went right back ten pounds up to where I had been for about the last 7 years. Drink beer, eat meat, basically veggies and meat with a few carbs here and there and a shitload of cheese. I don't gain weight past where I started.

I really would like to go back down to where I was in high school but i'll look like a goof with huge legs, wide shoulders and a 29" waist. it's plenty easy to tuck a pistol as it is and I don't want to lose muscle mass. I did a major regimen once before about 8 years ago and lost 35lbs in about three months, but felt weak in comparison and it didn't make me any healthier by the Dr's measurements. If I was bigger i'm sure I would have felt better but for my build I really didn't notice much other than I could run better but was weaker (couldn't max leg press machine anymore). In my younger (HS) prime I could run a 7:11 1.5 mile (4.44 mile) not competing, but I don't want to be stick built as it would be detrimental to some career roles (can't explain further, persec).

Kinda stuck at a "f-it" point unless I start getting any bigger, but it seems i'm just meant to be where i'm at. 5'8" 175-180. Enough with my rant.

Anyways, if you want to lose a lot of weight fast, it can be done, but there are always compromises. Find your balance OP. My best results were made with a heart monitor and a personalized plan I designed that worked on my heart rate and alternating cardio and strength every day.

Overall health is more than just body composition. Once you start working out it can become difficult to keep perspective of how you look in the mirror vs how you feel. As long as you’re in decent shape, how you feel mentally & physically is more important.

Vegan diet is not very healthy for working manual labor or athletic men long term.

I know a fair bit about how insulin functions, which you should too for as much as you talk about carbs, considering it's the number one hormone that deals with them.  It's part of why people try to push for people to eat low glycemic index foods,  and maintain low glycemic loads even if they don't have issues as a way to prevent health issues later .

You can do it OP.

I lost 70 lbs in a year, down from 205 to 135. I was eating 1200-1500 calories a day and lost 50 lbs before I changed anything with my exercise.

Since losing the weight I've started running and lifting. I've put on nearly 20 lbs of muscle and I'm running 25-30 miles a week. I can run a 5k in 22 minutes and 5 miles in 36 minutes. Now at 40, I'm 5-9", 155 and 10% body fat. I'm in better shape than 95% of guys my age and I can hang with most half my age.

Sitting around 1200 calories so far. No ragrets.

Cupcake wrecked the carb macro, but fat is still in the lead with 108 grams, protein at 69 grams.

I incidentally do a ketogenic diet when I cut, but it’s not by design, so I don’t pretend to be initiated in the cult of keto.

But don’t most that follow intentionally ketogenic diets allow for like 20g carbs/day or something like that?

I’m not afraid of days with little to no carbs, and I’m also not going to recoil in fear at the sight of sandwich. Better eating decisions combined with regular exercise is the path I’m on now.

Lol. Well, I wrecked my carb macros with a slice of pizza and a second cupcake in the afternoon, and I’m still down half a lb. Maybe those keto guys are on to something.



Kickstarted my day with a 2 mile jog followed by a 2 mile walk with the dog. I’ve burned almost half of my caloric intake for the day. Of course, myfitnesspal ads those calories burned to your total allotment so I can technically eat them if I wanted to, but I won’t. I am officially down 6 lbs. since last Sunday.

I incidentally do a ketogenic diet when I cut, but it’s not by design, so I don’t pretend to be initiated in the cult of keto.

But don’t most that follow intentionally ketogenic diets allow for like 20g carbs/day or something like that?

I can eat way more. But people who don't workout have to eat around that many.

Am currently about 220 but dropping it quickly. Had to look at pics from the 300s to get motivated.

I just wanted to say that your post is incredibly inspirational. Congrats on your success. I’m sure you feel tons better (no pun intended).

My dad is a type 2 diabetic.

This weekend I observed him eat an uncooked weenie in a piece of bread for breakfast and then he ate the exact same thing a few hours later. When I asked him about it his reply was that he was hungry and didn’t want to let his blood sugar get too low. I don’t think he knows what he is talking about. At 84, his thinking is starting to get a little fuzzy and he is a solid creature of habit now, heavily dependent on my mom and her diet sucks, too.

I don’t want to end up like that. At 41, this may be my last chance to make a lasting change.

You mean metabolic scientists?

(The science behind ketosis is pretty well understood, which is why it's funny when people shit on it since it's a inescapable, scientifically well understood , metabolic process)

When the keto bros start claiming you can eat unlimited calories and still lose weight is why people “shit on it”

Good thing brave upstanding posters always come in swinging from the rafters before that happens to get ahead of it!

Nobody who's actually done it believes that.  But yes, the misperception hurts.  I know one guy personally who pays lip service to keto but fell for the "all the fat you can eat" stuff and is - and will stay - close to 300 lb.

1200 calories a day is cute. Haven't eaten in 26 days.
