Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Oh yes.... Alcohol, especially beer, is high in carbs.... You want to reduce your carb intake as much as you can. Carbs/white refined and/or brown sugar, is the enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Remember...fruit contains lots of sugar. Bananas especially. You have to limit sugar, and foods that contain sugar....natural or otherwise. I am getting all this from an M.D., a kidney specialist, so I am not making all this up out of thin air, or from rumors...or what somebody said, or overheard. I just present it, and it is up to you to make a decision. I'm no "expert". Just relaying what my own experience is. I am not an M.D.. I am merely someone that is doing this, and I have lost 66 pounds in a month and half, and gotten off all my type 2 diabetes meds, and my blood pressure medicine. Other than that, I am just a nothing and nobody, in the middle of the dirt road of life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Hey Miss Sue... You mentioned the snake and the apple... It wasn't the apple in the tree, that caused all the problems... It was the "pair" on the ground!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three Foot Johnson Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 I had a desk job with the state DOJ for the last five years of my career, and put on a LOT of weight. At my exit physical four years ago, the state doc said, "You're a walking dead man Mr. Johnson, and I'm not exaggerating. You need to lose weight, a LOT of weight, RIGHT NOW, or you may not see next year." Now, I'm 6'4" with a big frame, but I tipped the scales at 368 pounds. I stopped off at Walmart on the way home and bought a Fitbit tracker, started walking, and cut my calories WAY back - back to the point it may have been more detrimental than helpful, like very seldom more than 500-600 calories a day. I ended up dropping 82 pounds in nine months. Walk, walk, walk. All day long. Not continuously, of course, but a few hundred steps every hour. A hundred steps a minute is easily achievable, so ten minutes = a thousand steps. Keep moving. Fitbit starts you out at 10,000 steps a day, and that's a very easy goal. Track your steps, watch the calories, and DON'T CHEAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgavin Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 My bride picked me up a set of 3# hand weights. I walk my mile daily and work the hand weights. They are the same as my Vaqueros... Big fellas can drop the weight like crazy if they stick to the plan. Ladies have a MUCH tougher time of it. My #4 is a retired rock star, and I was amazed at the HOURS she invested in cardio, etc, to keep her weight under control. I would have been skin and bone if I did what she was doing, and struggling with. My bride tells me the same... she just can't do the quito/low carb thing, or I wind up sharing the bed with Godzilla.

Singin' Sue 71615 Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 I am blessed to have a husband who loves me, knows that beauty is not going to stay (only in his eyes) He made me cry a few years ago when he hugged me and asked "why can't you see yourself as I see you?" But...again, this is not so much a vanity thing, as a health thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But...again, this is not so much a vanity thing, as a health thing! We know it's not a vanity thing, with you. We understand it is a healthy thing, and it's for you, but also, for your groom, kids, grandkids, friends, and the Pards here. But true beauty is a multi-level thing...it isn't just physical, but it encompasses every aspect of our being. In the military, I had to travel all over the world. One time, upon returning home, on leave, I got to see my grandmother, for the first time in several years, and I thought....You know...I have seen many beautiful things, all over the world, but she is the most beautiful anything, I have ever seen. Yes...she was old, and stooped, and gray, but she truly was, the most beautiful anything I had ever seen....especially to the homesick 24 year old that I was. It's all in past tense now. But the memories are still there. Beauty lasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Joker Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Lots of great advice here. Read ingredients. If it doesn't grow out of the ground or eat something that grew out of the ground don't put it in your body. Shun high fructose corn syrup. I am a fan of paleo diet and portion control. I tend toward more protein and fewer carb/veggies. Have had the stress job but prefer my current job where I am averaging 13000 steps a day. Weight is a number on the scale if you are healthy and fit you will feel great. Different fitness goals mean different body. When I was training and competing martial arts I needed speed and lots of endurance so healthy and lean. Lifting heavy for strength makes me lots heavier. But good weight. This last year has seen a lot of eating cause it was there alcohol intake increase and stress all things that pack on the pounds. Small changes to your lifestyle will quickly add up and give you concrete results. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
