Fitfam, what's your diet like? How does it work for you?

[ShepherdOfFire99]

I currently eat mostly whole foods, higher in fat and protien than carbs (mostly cause I don't like anything carby except veggies like carrots and potatoes and I need lots of meat... Cause I crave it x3) but I think I over eat so I'm going to count calories as well soon enough.
Anyways, how do you eat? Low carb? High carb? Carb cycling? Vegetarian? Atkins? Paleo? No sugar? Ect? :)

High carb, low fat vegan. The ratio of macronutrients are roughly 70-80% carbs and 10-15% of protein and fat. Personally, it's the best diet I've ever been on has cured many health issues that I had prior to eating this way and I've tried everything from atkins, paleo, military diet, to your typical high protein/low carb diets. Acne is cleared, abundant energy, I don't have to calorie restrict anymore, weight management is effortless, and I feel so "light" and "clean", which is a bit hard to explain. I've done pretty much every diet under the sun and surprisingly, this one is the easiest despite it being a vegan diet. I no longer experience cravings and I've cured my binge eating disorder, which I believe can be credited to the fact that I no longer need to calorie restrict to maintain my weight and that I'm eating an extremely nutrient dense diet.

Hey that's awesome! Same for me, except a different way of eating of course, everyone has different diet requirements :) . I also suffered from binge eating disorder and bulimia nervosa, I wouldn't consider myself cured because some self esteem this linger but the actions have been eliminated. Anyways, that's great for you! I'm proud! && you are beautiful by the way :)

I eat everything jaha
Now don't think I have a fast metabolism
Because I don't
I don't eat junk food or drink soda
I do have a sweet tooth that's the problem
I find most healthy food tasty
And I basically eat what I can and my portions aren't large
And if they are I make sure that mostly vegetables take up that plate.
I've adopted healthy eating habits so no need for diets

[ShepherdOfFire99]

Diets don't work anyways haha.
I used to not like the taste of healthy food too because I was addicted to sugar (which is why I eat mostly whole food, not for "weight" or whatever but because I hate addiction), and now I LOVE the taste of healthy food. Gosh, I'm craving peppers rn 😂👌 mm yum.

[Thatweirdone_]

I still have that sweet tooth that's hard to get rid of Haha if i start hating sugar then I'd be more healthy. I mean I hate sugar in my coffee or tea
Unless absolutely necessary
Like one time I ordered a lemonade and the lady brought the syrup on the side. I taste that lemonade and cringed because it was soooooooo sour so I had to put some sugar in there

[ShepherdOfFire99]

I also have a sweet tooth as well :) I have found that, for me, lowering sugar intake has allowed me to use healthy sweets to satisfy the cravings, like ice cream made of bananas (if you haven't had that, you must!!)

[ConsultantIsBack]

I eat wholesome proteins and carbs, pretty paleo-focused. I have one cheat meal a week where I go crazy on sweets. I have a big sweet tooth so my cheat meal is seriously sanctimonious lol.

I do carb cycling when I'm cutting down for the summer or for a physique competition, among other dieting techniques like intermittent fasting.

I avoid "enriched" processed carbs, which is like half the grocery store so it's not necessarily easy. This includes white carbs, many breads, white pasta, pizza and white noodles, pastries, chips, etc.

I follow a traditional bodybuilding-style diet to put on quality mass and stay lean as well. Foods like beef, bison, turkey, fish, chicken, quinoa, rice, buckwheat, oats, eggs are staples in my diet. I consume egg whites and oats like you guys wouldn't believe, every day!

When my life is more physically active my diet is See Food, Eat Food. I'm gonna burn it all tomorrow anyways. When I'm less physically active I just lower the calories. Usually with intermittent fasting. Just skip breakfast and push my first meal later into the day. Usually around 1pm - 3pm, then I'll eat my calories in an 8 hour period and fast until the next day where I'll repeat it.

It's harder to over eat, when you give yourself a window for when you will eat. This way I can eat out at restaurants or go for drinks with friends and still maintain my weight. But I'll usually lose a few pounds. I was 216 a couple months ago. Been hovering at 203 the past 2 weeks through the holidays. After Thanksgiving and Christmas, trust me... maintaining weight is ain't a in big deal lol.

The quote "you can't outrun a bad diet" should be changed to "you can't outrun a bad diet forever". Because you can totally ear like shit and just burn all those calories. We did it in highschool for years. Just catches up to you if you don't maintain that activity, without changing the diet as well

[ShepherdOfFire99]

Well yeah whatever works for you :p

[Ninja97]

I do Banting.
High Fat Low Carb.
No carbs or sugar, grain etc.
I've already lost 4kg
And it's really great because everything goes to back to the way food used to be made without preservatives and additives.

And it's so yum!
Keeps you full!!
It's called the Banting diet

[Polocrew]

Very high carb, 6.5 k cals 225 g proteins 400+ g carbs and 120+ g fat

[cookiesandcream]

I'm on the seefood diet. I see food and I eat it.

[cookiesandcream]

Oh whoops didn't read your whole. question. haha please ignore this opinion asker

[Anpu23]

Ovo-lactose vegetarian.

[ShepherdOfFire99]

Whoa what's that? Never heard of it before

[Anpu23]

It means I eat eggs and drink milk, but no meat including fish and chicken. There are so many different types of vegetarianism that I felt I had to clarify.

[ShepherdOfFire99]

Oh wow that's cool! It's very contrasted to my high meat diet lol. Thanks for sharing :)

[Anpu23]

Quite true, you are welcom

[quinoaflakes]

Vegan, high carb.
