(679 posts)Big agra makes easy money on addictive man-made carbs! I grew up with a pasta and high carb diet like many during the TV Dinner then Microwave box era. That stuff is all poison to the body. No wonder the body stores it as fat!
I'm more of a keto eater these days. I incorporate multi-day fasting. Just finished a three day water fast for the new year and re-fed three days and lost two pounds of fat. I workout, sauna and eat lots of organic and eat foods in-season. My fast to eat window is 16-8, basically two meals done by 8 PM. I'm soon to be 59 and shed 50 lbs past few years doing this way of eating. I will carb cycle on lift or post lift days.
If you can, try to get some walking in too. I wish more people would experience this lifestyle. I coached a few friends. The ones that plateau on their weight are the ones that can't give up soda, pop, or drinking too much.
Thanks for posting good topic this time of year!
