It's time for a change!!!!!!

[JonBoy]

Clean to me: outside perimeter at grocery store for most part. Meat ( fresh or frozen), veggies ( fresh or frozen) complex carbs ( rice, oats,black beans... No canned junk), nuts,seeds. Nothing "boxed", trans fats.

I'm no " organic", " grass feed " fad, but I've taken processed sugars out and achieved unnatural results in mind blowing time. Works for me

Now that's a pretty cool way to look at it. I've never really thought about it quite like that but yes my HEB's perimeter is all raw fruits, veggies meats and dairy with very little boxed goods. Now if only they'll move the beer section to the perimeter

Ok... never said that. Just trying to let the OP know that they are better for you. Don't be so touchy bro!!
Everybody wants to argue, even over oatmeal.

Not touchy at all, sorry if it came off that way. Not arguing either, I said they are " better". A .001" tolerance shaft is "better" than a .003" arrow.... But I can't shoot the difference. If they didn't take so long to cook, I would switch to them.. That's my only negative to them

Only things I buy in the aisles are: coffee, bottled water, rice and oats. Everything else is outside.
Note: I have a 4yo... So her snacks are in the middle of course ( I ain't going to keep her from being a kid)

59 lbs. lost in the last 13 months. No diet at all.

Abstinence and exercise. Period.

This makes me laugh. Everyone has a diet. The simple act of eating by definition is a diet. I can be on the see-food diet and eat whatever crap I see, or you can be mindful of what you consume, either way you have a diet. You said "abstaining", what are you abstaining from?

the healthiest way is to only make lifestyle changes. Diets are short term. Training for a marathon, running one, and then stop running is dangerous and worthless. Slow and steady is the key IMO - be active, watch the amount of food you eat, reward yourself every once in awhile. and of course not using any form of tobacco is the number one step anyone can take

That is another habit I plan on kicking but gotta take one step at a time, good suggestions from everybody I'm currently working on my meal plan now, my work out routine Will consist of 2 days on 1 day off one week and the next week 2 days off and 1 day on which is usually my heavy day. Back/bi one day chest/tri then legs. On my off days I will continue doing cardio I usually run 2 miles but will be stepping it up to 3 miles with one day in the middle of doing build up sprints I usually do a good set up core work outs also on cardio days. I was planning on doing 3000 calories and go from there my target weight lost per week is 2-3 pounds. I will post my meal plans as soon as I get that done,

What's your starting weight? That's a lot of calories to be losing weight on, with that type workout schedule. Pm me if you would rather, and I'll help you figure a sustainable nutrition plan if you need assistance

12 calories per pound is usually a standard " maintance" total, 10 per pound is a good goal for slow sustainable loss and maintaining muscle. These are just ballpark numbers, everyone is different and with lots of tracking and consistent meals you can really dial in a diet that fits your needs and goas

I had my first spine surgery(360 fusion) about 6 yr ago and decided to make major changes after that. I stopped eating fast food and gave up soda. I am at the point now where I eat like a body builder with no processed foods and limited carbs and it does not bother me at all. I could go into my meal plans but would be too long. I had my second spinal fusion about 9 months ago and came back and hit it so hard that I am now in the best shape of my life. I work out for 3 hours or so in the mornings 5 days a week and while I stay away from squats and deads, I put up some serious wait in everything else. After my last sugary I was 210 lbs and 24% fat and now 9 months later I am 192 and 14% I am hoping to finish cutting in two or three months and be at 185 and 10%. In the past I have done dirty bulks followed by grueling cuts and I don't plan to do that ever again.

Glad I could add a little humor to your day, Playa!

And yes, you are right - everyone has a diet. It's just that mine hasn't changed much since before I began my (hopefully) lifetime program 13 months ago.

I have eaten fairly healthily for a number of years - lots of fruits and veggies, fish, chicken, less red meat (other than venison). I still enjoy sugar desserts, and likely eat too many of them. I haven't curtailed my dairy intake at all, though I may begin doing that if the weight doesn't continue to come off (I think I still need to lose another 20 lbs.).

What I have done is go from 2-3 gin & tonics plus close to a bottle of wine a day to practically zero alcohol - not incl. holidays & birthdays.

I also got back into a routine of speed walking three miles three times a week, and rejoined the gym. That's it.
