For the majority of my life I have eaten just one meal a day, most days. It is a fairly big meal usually and I'm not gonna lie and say I never have the occasional day where I eat more than once (especially when I'm visiting relatives, but almost every day I eat just one meal. When I worked in an office years ago people found it so OFFENSIVE that I wasn't eating lunch when they were they began hounding me that it -isn't healthy- to eat just once a day and that I was -killing- myself by eating just once a day. Now, of course, many of these people pressuring me the most were themselves overweight, but whatever, you have to listen to the -wisdom of the crowd- right? I mean, literally no one was on my side, everyone told me I was wrong, so I caved. I started eating three times a day. A year and a half later (after having to buy all new clothes because nothing I had fit anymore) I had gone from about 160 to 210 lbs. When I left that job and went back to my old ways. I immediately lost 20 lbs, in like a couple months. This was years ago and I have only recently got myself back down to 180 (I'm not starving myself, folks) and intend to put on more muscle and probably won't be paying as much attention to the numbers on the scale from now on so much as the inches around my waist, and shoulders and chest, and back and biceps. So, I can 100% agree with this idea that whatever works for you is what is best. Maybe I have a slow metabolism or something and don't need as many calories as other people, or, more likely since I never count calories, I'm probably packing a solid 2000+ away in a single meal most days and letting my body's natural processes take care of any day to day fluctuations. I mean, do you seriously think that our cave man ancestors got exactly the right amount of calories every single day? Of course not, some days the hunt was bad and had to settle for a handful of nuts and berries, and some days they bagged two big bucks in the same day and ate like kings. Why do you think we even have fat stores at all if we weren't meant to use them once and awhile. I have NEVER before, and am NOT now, advocating that other people should (or -must- or -would be better off-) eating the way I do. I just want other people to leave my eating habits alone and let me live the way I prefer to.

I think the only -diet- that's ever truly worked for me was the carnivore diet. Going Keto made me crave carbs, but somehow in the first week of trying the carnivore diet, I never craved carbs or sugar. I felt like I could live my whole life without either and it felt great. I even dropped 10lbs in 2 weeks (probably all water weight, but it was finally something. I was stoked! BUT for me it wasn't sustainable. I eventually quit after 2 weeks because it was so BORING having just a slab of meat on my plate and that's it. That's all I get to eat. I missed having veggies and just variety on my plate.
These trials and errors I keep going through always bring me back to when I had my second child and I actually got serious about fitness. Getting my food from the outside isles (fruits, veggies, nuts, dairy, meats) and avoiding the inner isles (where almost all the food is processed junk) the best I could worked for me. But I also exercised like crazy. I had a job as a busser that got me lots of exercise, and at home I had my own bench press, lots of plates, dumbbells and a kettlebell. Plus I walked a LOT. My car was broken down and the nearest Walmart was 1. 5 miles away (so 3 miles round trip plus all the wandering around the store. My husband and I would load up our 2-seater stroller with groceries and I'd happily push it home because I loved the exercise. I also didn't supplement because I kept forgetting I had them. >_> Anyway, my nutrition and all that exercise put me in the best shape I've ever been in. I was in far better shape than I was in my teens. Then a car accident happened, I got depressed and lazy and now I have 50lbs to lose. >< Point being it always ends up boiling down to finding what works for you.

I listened carefully to that, having tried various diets in my life, always gaining the weight back, so finally I had given up on them. About a year ago, I found I had type 2 diabetes, and decided to change my way of life (I'm 60yo. I printed in my mind that sugar had become a poison to me and changed my way of eating, radically cutting carbs and all processed food, but, following your advice, I did it in a sustainable way for me, keeping enjoyable the food I eat (more time spent cooking, variety, spices, tons of veggies, good proteins, less fat, and not considering cheating was an option. I also started working out daily with zero exception, lightly first (walking) then increasing difficulty as I was feeling better and better (cardio, and now weights. About six months later I had lost over 25kg, and my diabetes was in control. But more than that, it went so low that the doctor kept reducing my diabetes med, down to half a pill per day now, and she told she would stop it next time, diabetes being actually. gone, which I was not believing possible. So, that is my lifestyle now, healthy but enjoyable food, no cheating ever (I don't feel any need for it, and daily exercise, and I'm very determined to go on like this, never felt better since my 20s. What you say here 'clicked' in my mind, and I can't thank you enough: )

I agree, 5 years ago I weighted 350ish pounds at 6'3, with zero muscle. I was huge when I started, I began by only drink water, ate nothing processed and walked for 35 minutes 7 day a week as hard as I could nothing more. After a year I had dropped a tone of weight. I then worked in boxing class and weight training but upped my walking to an hour on incline. Today I'm at 195-188 depending on hydration/sallt intake. The one kind of regret I had is I did not eat enough protein and lost muscle towards the end because I was obsessed with weight rather than how I looked and felt. It pains me to see so many morbidly obese people in the gym just doing weight training. It's a life style exercise, nutrition, supplements and sleep all work together. As each improve it make me want to push myself harder, setting new, but realistic physical fitness goals. It's a journey not a destination, things come in stages all while learning and improving. Sure, I have had bad days or even weeks, but never a bad month (exercise and diet) since starting. Try to focus on this moment and making the right choice for now, don't focus on yesterday as it's over and tomorrow is a new day to improve.

Totally understand the concept you-re describing however I don-t agree about keto. 49yrs old and tried so many different things over the years that were absolutely, as a truck driver, were not sustainable. With keto life, in the realm of nutrition, actually became easier. Went from 280 to 228, quite happy there, in two months. got a friend of mine to try it. Type 2 diabetic, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and doctors telling him he-d be on meds the rest of his life and eventually go blind. He was OFF 100% of the meds inside 2 months. Unfortunately with keto its a do it or don-t kind of thing. Kind of like hitting the gym. Sure its great if you can get there every day but you-re never gonna get anywhere with if you go a couple days and then a week from now not show up for a week. Keto and intermittent fasting has healed a LOT of people. Don-t know too many that can say the same with much of anything else out there. It could have even helped your guy. By the way, its been 2 years, love to see an interview with how he-s doing today.

I love your training videos but you are just as nuts as the keto folks when it comes to diet. Everyone is on a diet. Your diet is what you eat. Nothing more nothing less. If you are already quite overweight, and aging and not in a carb intake deficiency, you can workout until your joints fall apart and not lose much weight. Guarantee you won-t stick to that either. Way I see it, Your body stores fat for a reason. You took on more carbs than it needs so it saves it to use as fuel later. Making it use it-s own stores is a natural process. So in reality on keto or any low carb method you are not carb deficient because you got a pile of it on your belly and or butt. You are eating your stores, it just isn-t going in your dag on mouth it-s already in you. When you train with weights you force your body. you demand it gets stronger. And it does. You have to demand it eats off its stored carbs as well. And it will.
In end same argument as what arrow you use or firearm or crochet needle or paint brush. what works for you.

I've been 310 lbs and I've been 190 lbs, within my 20s. I've had a poppin 6 pack with the 8s visible and a dunlop keg. I was always active, when I was 310 lbs I was probably the most active, but I ate crappy and ate far, far too much. I'd have 4 massive burritos with everything you could want in them as a regular meal, and an endless stomach for meat. I am 230 6'4 and 30 years old now, and less active than I ought to be. Intermittent fasting low carb works for me long term, when I can resist my sweat tooth (Ice Cream) and the urge to devour a whole living cow. My body likes low carb high protein and fat, fasting more than a day isn't going to happen, I've barely gone a day my entire life without eating even at my most sick, but eating from Noon to 6: 00 PM works for me and the autophagy benefits are game changing.

My personal training teacher was a nutritionist for 15 years prior to being a teacher. The average person's diet should be 50% Carbs 20% Protein, 30% Fat with no more than 10% being from Saturated Fat. Also a person should never go more than 4 hours without eating unless you don't do any physical activity. The more meals you eat increases your metabolic rate.
So a 3200 calorie diet 1600 calories are carbs, 960 calories are from fat, 640 calories are from protein. 400 grams of carbs, 106 grams of fat, 160 grams of protein. I eat 4 times a day. Each meal Crb100gms, Prt40gms, Ft26-27gms. I've ate at this ratio ( not always those calories) for the past 11 years and stay relatively the same weight. 195 when I was lean 227 now. I need to get back to exercising.

took me 2 years to figure out what would work long term for me. keto breakfast, whatever makes sense that day for lunch to net 1200 kcal, and no dinner plus 5 short workouts at home per week. Of course, that's to lose 1% body weight per month. Not sure how this will work after I lose everything, probably just adjust kcal per day. but this is very comfortable and enjoyable for me, and maybe more importantly highly flexible and easy to recover from any mistakes I make. And learning just how complicated exercising can become over time, so who knows where that will go, but my only goals are health and mobility and eventually athleticism. sounds fun to me. Thanks for the motivation, advice, and interesting medical type information.

I have two siblings with type 1 diabetes who would tell you as Diabetes 101 info that deliberately having ketones floating around your system is absolutely toxic. Prolonged high blood sugar in diabetics causes ketones, ketoacidosis, and long-term health conditions like diabetic neuropathy and retinal blindness. I am not at all convinced that non-diabetics can get some magic benefits from putting your system under prolonged acidic stress and adrenal overload. Before the keto fad was the paleo fad, the Atkins fad, and a dozen of other diet fads before it. The latest hype is always the -diet to end all diets, - the Perfect One According To Science. I'm skeptical that this current one will age any better than all the rest.
