I should invite my friend to participate in CP, even though he's not a Flames fan. He went from 250 - 150 over a 3 yr period, and recently completed 10 years of keeping the weight off and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
He documented everything and that's what helped him stay lean. Biggest takeaways he shared as I tried to get healthier:
- Switching from pop to loose leaf iced tea
- Eating only between 8:30-18:30 (intermittent fasting)
- Overnight oats for breakfast
- Cutting out condiments/sauces - all those hidden calories and sugar - and basically using hot sauce if we need to moisten up dry food. (so.much.valentina.)
- Cardio 2x a week / Strength training 3x a week
While I don't need to make the change he did, those five things got me to lose 10 lbs since Oct, not a ton, but my trainer figures I have lost 30 lbs of fat and put on 20 lbs of lean mass.
If I could cut out scotch, I'd be in a better place, but I have my weekend drinks at least.
Good luck - everyone has a personal journey and you have to do a lot of a/b testing with yourself.
