Fat Club BCF style

[WD Forte]

Remember:
What happens in Fat Club stays in Fat Club

So I go to doctor and he says
"You're getting a right fat bastard aintcha? Still on the see food diet?"
then warns me of the risk of bad ades diatribes,high oil pressure an all manner of
medical nasties if I dont take action.

So, reckoning I'd better take this as a wake up call, I emptied the larder of beer, cider, bread, cakes, buns, sweets, various num nums etc
and went on this low carb diet and have lost about 6 Kg since 24th Jan.

Mostly water loss at first I'm told, but the odd thing is I'm actually feeling somewhat better
in myself even at this early stage and losing the weight so soon kind of inspires me to carry on.
Another odd thing is I dont feel particularly hungry.


Anyone else on this journey to slim beauty?

Keto?

Lost quite a bit last year on it.

[MCN]

Amphetamine Diet works too. 🤣

Diet as popularly sold is usually a fad thing to lose weight.
Commercialised taefuck by many.

My belief is if the weight crept up on your ass over some months/years then take time to lose it.

Smaller portions of 'better' food. Reduce the point where your stomach feels full and cut out some of the shite and replace with good.
Green veg if you can get it.
Cut out red meat.
But the main point is that any diet should be one you can enjoy for ever.

My ex is diabetic (insulin pen). I remember folk would ask if she is on a special diet?
All the books and any info you get to live with diabetsayd you eat a healthy diet.
The same diet we all should aim for.

What ever your diet it number one needs to be stuff you like to eat.
Number two it should be stuff that does you good.

My book is out this summer.

I've just started again, loosely following Slimming World. 3 weeks so far, 12.5lbs (5.7kgs). The wife does low carb, I love my bread and chips too much.

As MCN said, eat less and stick to healthy foods. Make sure you like what you eat. Get exercise - even walking say, 3 -4 miles a day will help. Calories out > calories in.

Forget the fad diets, they won't encourage you to change your eating habits which is the outcome you should be aiming for. They'll give you a short term loss which you'll inevitably pile back on when you come off them.

Good luck

Put on over a stone since packing in the ciggies.

Eating F tonnes..it's great.

Aiming to get the diabetes and not lung cancer.

25KG in 4 months?
Pretty damn good that
20-25Kg would get me back to my skinny 20s.
(wheres me flairs?)

When I sifted through the web bullshit to discussions from
proper doctor and scientists, the low carb/keto thing made a lot of sense
that's why I thought I'd have go.
I've spent years eating/drinking my way to borderline obesity, diabetes etc
so reckon I owe it to myself to get my shit together

Before Christmas I was training 3 to 4 times a week and with that I was losing weight without having to be to careful about what I eat.
I was also making a bit of an effort to stay away from the fried breakfasts.
I felt better for losing a bit of weight.

Since the training injury just before Christmas I have not trained much and have eaten everything in sight .
All the weight is back on along with a bit of a belly .


Staying away from fry-ups and a bit of training worked for me.
That’s what I’m going back to now I’ve recovered from my injuries.

Fuck the doctor and the horse he rode in on.

Doctors really do my turret in. They give you all this so-called good advice about what you should do to not die (early or otherwise), and yet none of them actually remember to advise you that NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO, you are going to die eventually.

Anyway ... I just ordered pizza.
With an extra side order of heart attack.
So I can't join fat club today.
Even if I wanted to.

If it helps, it was horrid.
There was hardly any beef on it and it was supposed to be one of them cheeseburger pizzas. It was more like a vegetarian pizza, ugh.

I only ate 5 pieces, and even that was a struggle.

My fitness Pal worked for one or two people I know.
If I turn into a gannet and find myself putting on a few pounds I use it for a few days and it makes me realise how much of a greedy sod I am.
Fortunately I like exercise so I'm able to stay ahead of it at the moment but it's getting more difficult with age

[Easy-X]

My wife was diagnosed with Type 2 and I looked at myself (shuddered) and thought "I'm very much the wrong side of thirty to carry on the way I am!" So I've attempted to give up sugar...

Not in a literal, ideological vegan-style way, just trying not to consume too many blatantly pointless carbs. I haven't drunk cola, lemonade or red bull in about 5 years or so, not even the diet stuff. And now I find something like the occasion doughnut almost unpleasant in its over-sweetness.

I still drink beer though, one might go too far with these things!

Nah not for me. I'm actually right where I want and need to be.

Few years back I went to my (old) doctors for a well man clinic visit. A female nurse gave the interview. At the end she told me that I needed to lose weight - I kid ye not that nurse resembled a space hopper. She was so round she couldn't put her arms by her side and there she was telling ME to lose weight.
I laughed. I asked what weight I should be. I was told 11 stone. I'm 6'3" tall. She wanted me at the edge of anorexia. I need to add - I'm all muscle - not through gym but work. She wanted me to lose the muscle and be Hen Broon. I laughed. I asked what SHE would be doing in the mean time (yes I was offended) and she ran off.
Long story short she reported me to the doctor running the practice and this was at the main desk. Now Dr McDaid did not mince his words. He was dry as f*ck, direct and with ample humour. Again she pointed the finger at mean old me. His response? "Well he does have a point doesn't he?" to which Mrs Space hopper ran off in tears. (probably sued him but meh)

Anyway, I do look after myself. Sure I sometimes eat junk but my diet is varied and does go the correct way. Today for example I'm making a full dinner. It will be batched and eaten over the following two days too.
I'd love a kebab though..

6ft and 14st 11lbs at the moment and that's simply not good. I am broad framed but there's excess weight around ma belly and that's got Type 2 written all over it.

Why?

Well, I've put on about a stone since last year because my back decided to shat its discs and leave me all cripple like. Problem is I've got to get the weight off to help with the disc problem but I've got no chance when I'm a cripple without giving up food and that turns me to drink, and drink puts on the rubber ring waistline.

God is a reet fecker.

[iooi]

Mrs is diabetic. She eats the same as the rest of us...

Bonus for her is FREE prescriptions.

[andym]

Not that I need to lose any weight (being a baw hair off 12 stone), I lost almost 11lbs in 3 weeks on the running-around-like-a-headless-chicken-at-an-Amazon-warehouse diet

[WD Forte]

I've had a fat nurse telling me to lose weight too,
but being a soft southern bastard I kept my thoughts to myself.
nodded humbly at diet instructions, took the brochures and crept out in a silent repressed rage.

Diabetes may not be a simple overweightness connection.
Blasting your system with sugar means your pancreas has to be squeezed dry to produce enough insulin.
It's just another stress our bodies cope with admirably well until there are too many compromises to cater to.

Sugar and fat bad.

Fibre and exercise good.

Eating disorders are learned behaviour like smoking, drinking, sitting in front of tv/pc/phone for hours and other habits.

Break your bad habits. Replace a bad habit with a good habit.

We live in flats. I use the stairs rather than the lift. (Unless it's bin-bag-day.)

I am far, far from perfect and must try much, much harder but little by little. Maybe I'll live long enough to become perfect. 😇
