Lose Gradually

[Guest guest]

Of course you can fast, that was his ridiculous attempt to kick my shins.

Point is, however, everyone's body needs a minimum of good nutrition, much

of it needed daily, in order to maintain good health, and eating enough is

as important as not eating too much.

 

To lose 95 lbs or more, and I'm in that boat, one must aim at taking off a

pound or two a week. Any more can lead to ketosis and other problems, and

any less means you're probably not exercising enough.

 

Just remember not to fixate too much on weight. Muscle weighs more than

fat. Often we're slenderizing and getting healthier but seem to gain a

few pounds here and there. If your general trend is downward, you're

doing fine. Don't be too hard on yourself, and how your clothes fit can

be a decent indicator -- except for bloaty times of the month, etc.

 

The other main thing is, don't focus on losing weight at all. That should

be a natural side-effect. Instead, focus on changing to a healthy

lifestyle of eating properly and getting enough exercise. Do that and all

else follows.

 

Maintain the strain on the brain and good luck.

At one or two pounds a week that would mean fasting on nothing but water and

exercise for over 40 weeks. Nah, no way...not for me.
