65 lbs in 5 months
 

I'll keep it short. I follow what I call the "RDA Diet". I just use Fitday to meet targets on macro- and micronutrients based on the Recommended Daily Allowances provided by the government. But of course, RDA is based on a 2000-caloried diet, so if I am at 1500, I can accept something like 75% of RDA. (Do the math.) Here is a bullet list to summarize:

• 1500 cal/day
• Usually two meals per day. Brunch/lunch and supper.
• This means about 16 hours "fasting" per day before break-fast.
• No sugar
• No white flour
• No processed foods
• Eat foods with only one ingredient
• Ratio of potassium to sodium at 3:2
• Vitamins B (especially B12) and C every day since they are water soluble
• Vitamins A, D, E can be loaded up throughout the week
• Plenty of magnesium
• Eat fresh when possible (shop every day). Some canned meat and vegetables.
• Nice steak dinner every Sunday, but no more fast foods and rarely going out during the week.
• Eat REAL food only.
• Thanks to Jack Lalanne for guidance and inspiration. QUOTE: "It's just like putting water in a gas tank in your auto. It wouldn't run. And you're a human machine. You put the wrong fuel and this human machine doesn't run. It goes through life, pretty soon, pff, pff, pfft. Pretty soon, you're right in the old grave!"

That's really great.

Thank you! I´ll be using this for sure!

I like the RDA diet concept. I'd be interested to see your progress soon.

That is quite a big loss, congrats! That "Eat Real Food" tip is really important though. I discovered the joy of cooking when I prepared my meals using 'real' ingredients. I work to achieve the body I want, and I also work to prepare the food I want on my table - pretty satisfying, I'd say.

Great job

it's true?

Yes you have provided very important aspects that are useful ...

that's losing weight

The recommended rate of weight loss is 1 to 2 pounds per week, per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). If you follow this guideline, you can lose 60 pounds in seven and a half to 15 months.
Going by this, it would mean that you would target losing 4 to 8 pound monthly (1 pound x 4 weeks) or (2 pounds x 4 weeks). A more realistic goal would be shedding 20 or 40 pounds (4 pounds x 5) or (8 pounds x 5) within five months.
While it varies, mild weight loss (think: 20 pounds or less) typically doesn't lead to excess skin, Zuckerman says. Weight loss of 40 to 50 pounds can seem as massive as a weight loss of 100+ pounds
