Weighed in at the doctor the other day at 154 lbs ( 5 pounds more than the last time I was there)
for being 5'8 my Dr. said that's an extremely healthy weight.I've started talking with a Nutritionist - she's put me on a "diet" ( i use loosely.)
the only thing she's given me is Macro Goals - Macro-nutrients are Protiens , Carbs, and Fats
and my Goals are to hit a certain Number of grams per Macro a day. It doesn't matter what I eat (more or less) as long as I hit my Macros before I go to sleep at night, I'm good to go.Been working out 3 days a week still , mostly at home work outs though ( pullups, push ups, ab works outs) I have yet to join a gym but that may happen.
My goal is to not add any weight and lose maybe 10 pounds and gain muscle.
I call it nutrition instead of diet, then people understand that you're not on a short term thing or a fad thing.
If you're gaining muscle, it's likely the scale won't change much for you... muscle weights a lot more than fat. The scale hasn't changed much for me in the past 6 months...
Yes! Using different language for these things is helpful. You aren't on a diet. You are creating new eating habits. They don't all need to be about what you are eating either.
I know I've said it in here before but the single most effective thing I did was to increase time for eating. A meal takes at least 20 mins. If you don't have 20 mins for a meal at least give yourself a 20 min. window before going back for seconds or a snack.

"On a diet" is bad. Improving your diet is good.

I tried keto, but i just love carbs too dang much. I've cut back on carbs and increased my veggies and replaced sweets with fruit. (except on occasion I will eat a pastry, and it will take me two days to eat it)
I lost 8lbs. i'm pretty happy and will continue my slow yet steady ways.

And you'd be wrong because they are different. Diet is diet. What you regularly eat and drink is diet, period.
When someone says diet, it doesn't necessarily imply a specific special intake of nitrition. It's all diet, even if you only consume twinkies, or eat regularly and nothing specific. It's a diet no matter what.

When someone says "I am going on a diet" which is more or less what was being discussed it does mean a particular plan of intake. It also frequently means a short term, unsustainable plan.
It is helpful to think of nutritional intake changes outside the context of "going on a diet" because setting long term, sustainable changes is going to work out better.

Exactly - and this is what people seem to understand much better when I say or talk about my nutrition, instead of my diet.
The term diet, while accurate to describe literally what I'm eating - has basically been cooped by diet fads to the point where the masses hear 'diet' and assume you're on some short term plan with a likely goal of losing weight.

Going on a diet literally tells me nothing, and forces me to assume everything. So when this happens, no matter the context, I comment.

Hence why I never say that. I say - I've changed my nutrition.. which is true.. I've stopped eating all the shit, and try to concentrate on better foods.
I could just as easily say I've changed my diet - but then I will get the - oh yeah? what diet are you trying out/doing?
Perhaps you don't make any assumptions when I use a statement like mine (about nutrition) but most do. And they assume exactly what I mean - less sugar, less carbs (though they'd be over thinking that one aspect), etc.
Is it correct that they assume that? yeah probably not.. but it's human nature.

Today is day two of quitting nicotine, and starting back on keto with IF simultaneously, FML.
I did keto from Jan 2018 - Mar 2019, then took a 6 month break to see what it was like to eat complete shit again. I actually didn't gain anything back, but it's probably because of the IF.
I've never actually been overweight (6' 2" - 200lbs, I just do keto to cut up a bit and to curb my GERD. It works the fastest of anything I've tried and it's sustainable long term. My blood work was perfect after over a year of keto with less than 20g of complex carbs daily. Plus I was able to cut like 15lbs fat without ever going to the gym. That was nice.
Been able to control my nicotine cravings by drinking bubbly sparkling water all day. I also want to punch someone, and am having problems giving a damn about many things, but ultimately I enjoy the challenge.
So that's my day...

first day home said up 4.0 kg (8.8 lbs)
I expect tomorrow be lower by a decent amount. Just a fact of how my body always changes with travel.
But definitely will be up from 97.3 still.

And back. I was 101.3 kg Friday morning.
Saturday I was 98.7 kg, and this morning 98.3 kg.
So 1 kg (2.2 lbs) over my pre SpiceWorld weight. That is pretty common.

update:
the Scale has gone down by 3 pounds setting me at 147 lbs
Just started a gym membership and looking at Getting back into Kung Fu training again in my free time. -
I will likely hit the -30 lbs. mark when I do my Friday weigh-in from my efforts that began in August
-
I've been stuck at 210 lbs (-50 lbs) for a month or so now. I just can't get motivated to workout. At least my diet is still mostly on track.
