What can I do differently this time to reach my goal weight?

[hrpfns]

Ok we all know, eat healthier/less and work out. I think I'm quite lazy and go through periods of motivation but after a while I'm like ugh i don't want to work out! I've been to fat camp and my weight has gone up and down drastically over the years. It's sad because I look back on pics and am like omg I wasn't even fat. However now I'm at my highest weight and I need to do something different if i want it to finally work. Could I be addicted to food? Should I go to therapy or overeaters anonymous? I just want to be more fit and not fat but I keep doing it wrong. Any suggestions?

You know, the people I've seen with the most success have done one of those low-carb diets. There are a ton of them out there, but it's pretty clear to me that it works really well. The thing is, bread sure does taste good...

I have a pair of friends who do it by claiming that they have a gluten allergy. Basically, it gives them an excuse to all carbs and I have to say, these two women look fantastic.

With regards to food addiction... I don't know, do you do embarrassing things like you're undecided about which item to get at two different fast food places so you end up going to both of them while hiding the bag so that the second fast food place doesn't see it? There are questions online that you can go over to see how many of them you say "yes" to so if you're really concerned, maybe you should check it out.

High fat, moderate protein, ultra-low carb diet, combined with exercise.

First time I did keto, I was shedding about a pound a day.

I just need to get better about not having months at a time where I give no fucks about anything, and eat whatever, drink whiskey like mad, and fuck off my workout. Or not going to positions at work where I'll be working 18 hours a day, stuck in a truck, and eating whatever I can get from the gas station or local greasy spoon diner.

Yea that's tough I wonder if you could meal prep? and what is keto?

[Barrabus_the_Free]

Ketogenic diet. Basically what I just described: high fat, moderate protein, very low carb (I stick to 20-25 grams of carbs/day when I do it, or less). Basically you reprogram your body to burn fat instead of carbs, which is good because it's what your body wants to do anyway, and once it's burning fat instead of carbs, when it needs energy it will burn your body fat before it starts breaking down muscle.

oo never heard of it. couldnt your body go into starvation mode and store fat?

[Barrabus_the_Free]

Starvation mode is a myth invented by fatties to justify remaining fat.

Like I said, your body is burning fat for fuel. How is it going to store what it's burning?

He may be a crayon eating jarhead, but every now and then the sun even shines on a dog's ass, and he's right about this.

Don't train alone. Find a fitness/sport companion (s) so you can stimulate each other. In team its more difficult to say you quit for that day and you can comment each others improvements
