Joe I'm fat, what do
Get a tapeworm.
LOL. But seriously, from personal experience - add in weight training, specifically dead lifting. Running is obviously great but it only temporarily raises your metabolism. Adding actual muscle will help elevate your natural metabolism and help create a bigger daily calorie deficit.
Anybody know where i can order tapeworms?
As of today i loss 2.1lbs, currently weighing in 208.9lbs. The lowest i got was 207.4.
Alright round two of this Military Diet.

Seriously, get into ketosis to burn fat instead of carbs for energy. Then from there workout like an animal.
I tried Ketosis last month & i just stalled at 215lbs. I used to be able to lose 20lbs easily in a month or two but now my body is so used to it. I also get really bad headaches when i do the Atkins low carb type diets. ONly way for me to lose weight caloric deficit.
Yeah i dont really follow macros when doing the atkins, just make sure i eat less then 20grams of carbs for 2 weeks. I did that for a month half & lost like 8lbs w/ lots of headaches. I might try that Keto next week after im done with this military diet.
Im reading up on it & notice that i need a lot of fats. What type of foods would i be eating? Can you post a typical meals you eat.
You don't need to eat a lot of fat, just remember that calories are calories. Fats are usually high in calories. I just go by the calculator. My current macros are 20g of Carbs, 120g of Protein and 147g of Fats.
As for typical meals, I usually have a Quest shake for breakfast(7am) since I don't like eating in the morning, if I'm in Ketosis I usually don't get hungry until about 3pm. Out of Ketosis, I get hungry about 11am. If I eat a lunch it's usually just a salad with hardboiled egg, a few pecans and a dressing that I love that's only 1g net carb. For protein I usually have two strips of bacon or a chicken breast that is about 50g.
For Dinner, it will always have vegetables just depends on what I'm feeling that day. Yesterday I had pork sinigang, no rice so just some soup, pork and vegetables. But on a normal day, I like a broccoli and cauliflower mix and a sauteed chicken breast or steak. Sometimes I'll have salmon with some sauteed vegetables. I try to keep everything as a variety. The only Atkins pre-made meal I ever eat is the Chicken Margarita, only one I ever really liked, I keep one in the freezer in case I'm too lazy too cook and it's only 7g net.
The main key is to stay in ketosis, you'll know when you are in ketosis because when you work out, you won't be hungry afterwards since your body isn't starving for carbs for energy. It's pretty weird not being hungry after working out but it makes total sense when the science kicks in. Make sure you drink A LOT of water. 1-1.5 gallons but at least a gallon a day. I fill up a gallon container and finish it by the end of the day.
Always eat your veggies, stay away from aspartame as it acts as sugar in your body so if you drink that thinking it's fine, it isn't. If you need to drink soda(sweet type) Pepsi just released a caffeine free and aspartame free diet Pepsi. I usually just drink water or if I need something bubbly then I drink a non-sweetened drink like La Croix or Aquafina's version of it.
Keep a daily log of what you eat so you can stick to your macros easier. And don't forget to recalculate your macros after you lose 20lbs or each month. That's what made the biggest difference when I was stuck at 230lbs, forgot to recalculate my macros so I was still eating as if I was still 298. Did the recalculation then got down to 215lbs pretty quickly.
Right now I'm back on those macros as we just had another girl in January and like every pregnancy my wife has had, I always get cravings (she doesn't) so I gained about 27lbs, not the diet's fault since I didn't adhere to anything during that time plus the first 20 is usually just your body storing reserve energy so that 20lbs will come off pretty quickly.
Holy cow, lots of info Xian. The main thing I got out of that was new baby!!! Congrats!!!
Alright thanks for the info, ill try this on Monday if the results of the Military Diet aren't too my satisfaction. Keto seem a bit overkill though because of the restriction on the protein. Would 3 weeks be enough time to see results?
Also the protein restriction is only so you maintain your current muscle mass and not gain muscle adding to "weight".
Question; would doing this and not cut the protein still be beneficial? Gain muscle weight and lose fat?
