It's very sustainable since at no point do you go hungry and you slowly add carbs up until you find a good spot. Low carbs=lots of meat=/me happy
If you're eating too much protein then you will not become Ketogenic.
Low carb is just one part of the equation. So is eating more fat.

Here's a very good resource:

Also check out the forum at Lyle's site. There's a wealth of both general and highly technical information (this isn't directed towards bmwperson but anyone else)

OP, what were you doing when you were losing weight before? Do it again... Put yourself in a deficit and start working out again. Don't stop working out for two whole months and expect to lose weight, especially after you've already lost some. If/when you hit a plateau, change it up. Workout harder or do something different, maybe something you've never done before. Your body WILL adapt to whatever you're doing and eventually you'll stop losing.
I was 180 before till recently when i stopped boxing and starting eating anything and eerything and shot up to 197, so i never was on a "diet" , back at the gym and gotta get back to 175-180 for a up coming fight

Simple. Confuse the body. Same idea to lose weight, same idea to put on muscle mass.

Haha the name's decieving. I'm 6'5", and 173# (underweight). Lost 83# in 2 months last Summer by following the advice of [some of] these guys, unbelievably, and managed to keep it off, though now I am in bulk mode.

Btw, don't believe me, there's pic in the "Significant Other" thread in there somewhere.

198lbs to 178lbs so far...

What I've been doing this year. Avoid sugar spike… try to limit refined carbs and only consume small amount of carbs at a time. Exercise lower body/legs. Fruits are fine but no juice. Big fan of chili.

skip breakfast. your post workout meal should be your biggest meal, yes. aim for at least 1g of protein per lb of body weight if you can.

Skipping breakfast is a good "tool", let's call it. For some people though skipping breakfast makes them more likely to snack on crap. As long as you have that in check you should be good if you take the "no breakfast" route

I've lost 43lb in the last 8 months - down from 205 to 162 (I'm 5'10") I am trying to get to very low fat %. I do extensive rowing and jiu jitsu, with some squash and have followed a very careful diet with calorie counting. it has worked for me.

The key is counting calories (keep it < 1700 cals per day and log everything! I use the 2020lifestyles app) and staying ahead of your hunger. Always eat right before you start feeling hungry.

Breakfast:
8am Protein Shake (MusclePharm Combat - Caisen protein is critical since it keeps you full)

Lunch:
11am - Chicken Salad (About 300 cals), or Turkey Sandwich (400 cals) - Some kind of protein but keep meal less than 400 cals

Snack
3pm - Tall Non Fat Latte and Protein Shake

Dinner
6pm - Keep total meal <400 cals

I can lose 2lb a week as long as my daily caloric intake is <1700 cals.

I think the 43lbs in 8 months was more the highlight there

To lose wait, cardio is important at least 6 times a week. Also read about carb cycling - very good for your body and diet if you understand your required carb in take. Read a lot about body building (natural) - very good information available. If you can afford a GOOD online trainer - chose this option. I know many people who lose a LOT body mass this way.

Also it is useful to eat food 3-4 hours apart, and be HUNGRY after 2 hours after you have food (make confident you take enough nutrients of course).

Go see a nutritionist. Most gym rats will recommend stuff that will kill you in 20 years. Yes, I had fitness certs for 15 years and that still won't be better than a nutritionist. HINT: find them in hospitals...

Hmm, nutrition is nutrition, not rocket science. Maybe it's just me, but I see labels like "nutritionist" referring to a completely useless and wasteful resource.

Read about nutrition yourself, no need to see a nutritionist.

It's simple. Weight loss is just Calories In<Calories out. Adjust your protein/fat macros to minimize muscle loss during your deficit.

First establish your current daily expenditure of calories (numerous sites online can calculate your maintenance calories, find a ballpark estimate), slice it by 4-500, and be consistent. Buy some measuring cups and a food scale. Log what you eat in a diary, such as the myfitnesspal app, and you are set for sustainable weight loss.
