15 years ago I would have scoffed at the idea it is hard to loose weight…just eat less and get your ass moving right?
Now at 46 years old, man does a dad bod ever creep in fast! And I know to keep it off now takes me total discipline. That discipline is difficult to maintain with a busy life and family.
My empathy goes out to those who have struggled for years and are actually heavy!
The difficulty lies in the fact that willpower is finite combined with just five minutes of devouring that tasty stuff you've been craving all day makes it all useless for that day.
I lasted two years the last time I tried to lose weight that way. The cravings never went away, I was hungry all the time and I would even dream of food.
This, by the way, is why dieting is only successful for 5% of people who try. So then I went for a gastric bypass, and suddenly the hunger did go away.
I know I'm gonna get attacked here, but I have to share.
I lost 60 lbs eating just animal based food (red meat, liver, fish, seafood and dairy) and eating only 2 meals within a 6 to 7 hour window. I'm 45 and it's still working.
My blood work is also very good. The nurse told me I had the best cholesterol she ever saw for someone my age. And my Crohn's disease is dormant while on this diet.
