I know why i got fat.

[AussieBear]

wasnt going to spew out mo shit.. but if anyone be trying this shit.. 3rd straight omad meal went down with an ease.. me gut has adapted to that stretch pretty quick.. i could eat mo if needed. while me gut is full and stretched out, i feel like i could walk around and do shit if need be.. work and shit that is.. idk about exercising... but maybe after a couple of hours of digesting i could.. or maybe as my body continues to adjust to this.. idk..

also.. there was no 23-24 hour without food im starting to ***** mode today....

finally got me salad meal up to 1800 calories without eating that volume of oats.. side of roasted sweet potatoes n roasted carrots will replace dat carb add.. much easier on the gut with lesser volume..

5 superseeds be in me salad now.. brown flax, hemp, sesame, sunflower and chia. modified me salad mix.. while i still have some 4 dark leaf mix.. i basically topped that up with a heavy spinach/purple kale mix. started adding himalayan salt and all its minerals to me olive oil/balsamic dressing.. dis salad be a super salad now..

started adding lemon juice in me now single serving and no oil, pea protein/creatine drank.

i still take me multivitamin with dinner too..

ill eventually spreadsheet me aminos, vitamins, etc etc n shit.. so i can get a clearer picture on me nutriants etc..see where i may be lacking... may add some goji berries to me salad too....but fer now.. dis is my meal.. i doubt i deviate form it much.. unless i feel like switching me meat protein up.. beef, roo etc instead of chicken legs.

 

[Warrior Spirit]

Im continuing with my OMAD experiment for at least a month. Figuring out other shit and maximizing it, no can do. Im too much of a man full of dat male toxicity to actually seek out help.

me workout today was better than that other no food workout, but i still lacked that extra muscle gear and i had to menatllay dig to push myself. i mean with me push ups.. i only did 2 sets.. 1 X 20 and i could barley make 15 the next... no muscle gas... so i cut me sets there.

even just fer a light workout. something was missing.. probably food. me 45 minute workout was @ around 16-17 hrs without food. i either i need to backload more carbs at night, or eat more calories. perhaps i just need to give me body some time to truly adapt to these new conditions.

ive never been against fats.. even in me 5+ meal routine.. fats are essential..

also, the lesser volume of food didnt knock me out after an hour like that other meal..

When trying to lose significant weight, I don't think it important to make sure you get enough calories. Part of what makes the high fat diet so good for losing weight is it keeps you satiated so you don't feel hunger or like you're depriving yourself of good nutrition.

And with exercise, think it's a good idea to keep it to your own weight bearing exercises and not worry about how many reps you do. The idea is to go to failure for benefits, No need to worry about how many reps that takes. You're still breaking down the muscles and encouraging them to get bigger and stronger.

well, im one who be thinks if you are carrying plenty of fat, your body can tap into that for extra cals if need be. Its me bro theory on why fat people build muscle quicker than leaner folk.

regardless though, eating more cals in back to back nights, led to a better workout this morning.. i turned up intensity some so id be finish before the bears game. My body definitely felt much better and my muscles had some juice back. that instant carb/suga juice is still missing, but i felt okay overall.

i did take yesterday off, I needed to give my right shoulder a day. I still got 5 days in the 7 from the 3rd - 10th. I cant say for sure what the added boost was from... whether it was specifically from the extra cals or not. the extra early rest day? perhaps my body is adjusting to the pattern of this eating some?!?! regardless, its a good sign and hopefully it adapts better.

Also, Its been the warmest, sunniest morning so far this september. the added heat may also be a reason. 1 too many factors to single out any one

Whatever works for you. I think you're on a better path with OMAD. Just hope you don't fall apart like ***** Trubisky did tonight.

[AussieBear]

me Official 7 day weighin cycle.

.......Down 8.8 pounds.

no scans to figure out what the breakdown is. but like i be said, i know i held on to a lot of water gaining weight back. i probably lost a tad bit of muscle too. also weighed before taking a shit thats coming..

so 2 days of two meals that was be low in cals and now 5 straight one meal a days at reasonable to okay cal deficit lvls 1800-1900.

finally went through all the foods im eating to log and calculate me cals, macros. still need a vit,mineral etc breakdown.. one thang at a time..

workout yesterday was lacking.. i pushed through it, but me muscles is still missing that juice.. that pump..

When significantly reducing carbs, it is a good thing no doubt, but still be mindful you'll be retaining less water, cause carbs do that, so you'll need to drink a bit more water, salt and also want to be mindful you're getting enough potassium and magnesium.

i be knew id shed water fast... i was worried about flushing me vit n minerals

so i be add a lil pinch of himalayan salt to me water a couple times a day and mo in me dressing.. my 5 seed blend got me potassium n mag up to okay levels n multivitamin finishing me off. i need to do a full breakdown and datasheet to know everything though...

while it was accidental... this aint no omad i eat a bs large mac and cheese pizza and fries fer me one meal.. i will still be trying to maximize me nutrients with this meal in the future.. but i have a decent base fer now and will go with that for a minute.

me net carbs can still go in that 50-75+g range, depending on me sides.........just like before on me low carb days... so aint no difference there vs me last drop in weight.. but with this meal i know ill never hit that 100-150 range i could some days. im not shooting for no traditional ketosis plan.. i like mo protein n mo carbs.. im guud with that..

also.. i be read this article today

Let's overreact to Week 4 in the NFL: Is the Bears' offense for real?

12:30 PM
Dan Graziano
ESPN Staff Writer

CHICAGO -- Hey, if the football fans in the Windy City want to overreact, who's going to tell them to cut it out? It has been quite a while since the Chicago Bears were fun, and even with the Chicago Cubs back in the playoffs this town is fired up about a 3-1 first-place football team that just put 48 points on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on its way into the bye. Mitchell Trubisky just quadrupled his season touchdown pass total in one delirious afternoon, and if you're not allowed to overreact to that, what's the point of being a fan?

So let's start with the game I got to see in person as part of my Sunday NFL Countdown duties -- a game that was 38-3 at the half and ended 48-10 as Trubisky buried the Bucs' weeklong QB controversy with six touchdown passes of his own against a Tampa Bay team that couldn't do a thing right no matter who was taking the snaps.

The Bears' offense is now as good as their defense
If you're a Bears fan who has been waiting to see the vaunted Matt Nagy offense that lit the league on fire last year in Kansas City, Sunday was your day. Nagy was scheming dudes open and leaning on mismatches with speedsters Tarik Cohen and Taylor Gabriel, and the Tampa Bay defense had no answers. Gabriel scored two touchdowns, including one on a nifty jet-action shovel pass at the goal line. He and Cohen each had seven catches and more than 100 receiving yards as Nagy went away from between-the-tackles running back Jordan Howard and leaned instead on the super-fast dudes he knew the Bucs' defenders couldn't catch. For the first time, Trubisky looked like a quarterback worthy of the 2017 No. 2 overall pick.

Week 4 takeaways: Breakthroughs for Bears, Cowboys
The Bears cooked up 48 points against the Bucs, while the Cowboys fought to a last-second win over the Lions. NFL Nation looks at Week 4.


Week 4 fantasy football winners and losers

Graziano's verdict: OVERREACTION. Fun, without a doubt. But the Bucs came into the game 27th in defensive DVOA, are banged up in the secondary and are averaging 34.75 points per game allowed. It's important to understand context. Bears players to whom I spoke about this game said they saw something good coming with Trubisky -- that they believe he has been developing the way they'd hoped he would. But no one here is assuming this is the way it's going to look every week. It takes awhile to master the Andy Reid offense Nagy brought from K.C. Alex Smith wasn't driving a league-leading passing attack until Year 5. One day of mastery doesn't mean everything is hunky-dory. What Bears fans should take from this is excitement and hope that this can be what it looks like, eventually. But the defense -- which, by the way, had another monster game with Khalil Mack wreaking havoc in the backfield -- is what will drive the Bears' NFC North title aspirations for this year at least. "It's like the LeBron effect," Bears cornerback Prince Amukamara told me of the Bears' preseason addition of Mack to an already-strong defense. "He just makes everybody better. When you see greatness like that up close, it just makes everyone else want to be great that much more."

What exactly is the point of staying in a 50g-75g carb range? You could drop that range 25g and be in a moderate state of ketosis. You're making the weight loss harder on yourself for essentially no reason. You'd also feel way better... Low carb diets without the production of ketones is gonna make you feel sluggish as shit..

Beer, Jose and veggies, fruit with a few steaks and chicken, Ribs tonight

 

[Urblock]

Best diet you can have is don't eat all of what is in front of you.

Beer, Jose and veggies, fruit with a few steaks and chicken, Ribs tonight

We as a society eat entirely too much fruit. We have modified almost every fruit through selective breeding over the years, and have made everything supersized and sweeter. Sweeter = more natural sugar = more glucose produced.

Yet we haven't adjusted our portion sizes.

Our diet is completely different than even 100 years ago. Almost nothing is natural, even the organic shit we buy wasn't brought to us today via organic means. We've genetically modified almost every single form of livestock or produce with one goal in mind: monetization. Not health.

This should concern you. Remember that the next time you eat a slice of watermelon. That slice of watermelon would be the same amount of "fruit" you'd get out of a whole watermelon just 100 years back. And i doubt they were advising you to eat a whole watermelon back then...

I'd advise you to check out "The Magic Pill" documentary. It's excellent at explaining the history of food, and where we are now. It's available on Netflix.

cause me accidental OMAD wasnt focused on a traditional keto plan. its more focused on just eating me one meal a day. some days im under 50 net carbs. I think yesterdays meal would have fallen in that 20-50g range.

after falling into omad by accident, ive been looking up other stuff after the fact. mostly trying to find advice from drs and the such, not so much the bros.. you dont have to follow a traditional keto meal plan or be in ketosis to burn fat. im borderline with my carbs, but after i exercise in my fasted state, im sure im in ketosis.... until my meal.

I dont encourage ketosis for weight loss, it's just a by-product. I encourage a healthy ketogenic diet for the health benefits it brings.

You seem to be solely focused on losing weight and dont care about the health effects that come along with your choices on what you consume. So i'll leave you to that.

Regardless, your approach is still more beneficial to your health than a traditional American diet. So kudos on achieving that.

 

[Novak]

@Urblock you're an older guy. Now would be the best time to start paying more attention to what you consume, not just the amount. I'm tired of seeing it be common place for older people to reach their 60s and on and be tethered to various medications, losing their memory, cognitive functions, motor functions etc. This isnt normal, but you'll be told it is. This is a result of our diets changing over the years. You can be sharp and have full control of your body from your toes to your brain all the way to your deathbed. It is entirely your choice, and it's never too late. You grew up eating shit and were told it was okay because we just didnt know enough. We were told saturated fats caused raised cholesterol and led to heart disease. They don't, and the alternative to fats causes far far worse. We know more now. It's up to you.

 

[Urblock]

Talking to the wrong guy, Doc is amazed by me. Thank you for your concern.

 

[Novak]

Talking to the wrong guy, Doc is amazed by me. Thank you for your concern.

You dont see the detrimental effects until you get older. Believe me, they will start piling up. Do you think i'm doing this because i have health concerns at my age? Not to humblebrag, but i've always been a physical specimen... this has more to do with my future.

You're old enough to understand the concept of delayed gratification. Don't act like a child. If you wait until you start having these breakdowns that older people are having that doctors tell you is "natural", it'll be too late to convince you otherwise. I've been there, try and get someone with Alszymers to change their diet... it's not possible.

It should be alarming to you that doctors think that you not being Special person already is "amazing"... not something you should just brush off...

I tried to tell my Aussie buddy about the health benefits before. I know he does have a case of Fibromyalgia and some other issues he's mentioned in the past.

When I started IF and Ketosis before the summer it was more to help me with some issues. I only wanted to lose about 20 pounds, which I often do before summer. I had stomach issues which had gotten much worse as of late and other aches and pains that came from time to time to different body parts. Was getting intense stomach cramps way more often. Couldn't even eat red meat cause it would have an almost instantaneous very negative effect on my stomach. Both ketosis and IF are said to have an anti-inflammatory response on the body as well as being good for the digestive system. Also read taking a couple of tbsp of coconut oil each day helps those with Crohn's so I did that too. This, more than weight loss, is why I combined the 2. After about a month of doing it, lost more weight than expected and the stomach issues completely subsided even as I went back to eating red meat. It was like killing 2 birds with one stone real quick like.
