momma6224's Notizen, 09 Mai 18

I was comparing a weight journal I kept 5 years ago to my current weight journal I’ve kept since January. 5 years ago I lost 20 pounds by cutting and counting calories. I also exercised 5 days a week 30-60min a day. This time around I’ve focused more on a keto-low carb/high fat way of eating. I focus more on macros and vary my calories. I exercise 2-3 times a week for 30-40 min...way less than I did 5 years ago (something I can work on increasing!)
This is my 18th week and I am down 10 POUNDS more than I was at the 18 week mark 5 years ago! I’m not saying what I’m doing now is right for everyone but it sure has worked better for me. I was always hungry with straight calorie counting and never felt satisfied. It wasn’t sustainable for me and I gained the weight back. My measurements are also lower than they were at that time. I find the comparison of the two diet experiences interesting. I’m so grateful I discovered his way of eating...it is something I could do forever and not be miserable doing (for the most part😁)

How low percentage wise are your carbs? I don’t want to go Keto but could work on lowering carbs. Just trying to find something that works 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ So happy you’ve found what works for you. Great job !

Awesome that you have the information to see the difference in approaches to eating and living.

I think I read a post by Richard Nikoley that said something along the lines of, "It doesn't matter what you eat if you're still eating like an A-hole you won't lose weight." That's pretty vague and can be generalized in a lot of ways, but definitely hits the mark!

I agree with you, Momma, this is a better way for me to go as well.

I could have written this post and so agree. Great job!

Thanks guys! I thought it was an interesting comparison and tells me my body responds better to this way of eating. Brenda: I aim for 20g total carbs a day. Most days I’m a bit over...some days I’m way over and some I’m lower. Percentage wise I think my goal is 75% fat, 20% protein, 5% carbs. I focus more on macros than calories.

Great that you have old data to make this comparison. It's really interesting, especially the being down 10lbs more, not working out as much, and also not being as hungry. It's all good! I've chosen to make keto a lifestyle and not simply a diet to lose weight, because of what I believe are the increased health benefits. Thanks for your post!

Great job! It's great to be able to go back and see what didn't work, or what did. You're right not every WOE works for everyone, but I'm glad you've found what works for you and you're sticking with it.

Way to go. It is always great to look at other data. What you thought was a benchmark is a good comparison

Thanks for your input Momma6224. I am one that truly loves her bread but willing to cut back. Gonna give it my best shot. We will see

Thanks everyone! Brenda: I love bread too!! And pasta, and potatoes...everything I now choose not to eat. I really don’t miss it as much as I thought I would. I can eat cheese, ranch dressing, butter, whipping cream...so many yummy things 😁
