How do you do it? I need to bring my TRIs down as well. And weight. i am intrigued by your comments and would like to subscribe to your newsletter Intermittent fasting - it's a whole big subject - but the best book I've come across by far is by Jason Fung. He's a Canadian doctor - I think endocrinologist - who has a diabetes management clinic. He wrote a few books on the subject - with clickbaity titles - but they are excellent, well-researche books. They grew out of his experience trying to help patients when he realized the limits of insulin therapy. There had to be a dietary approach and he realized that this approach (IM) improved outcomes so markedly that it needed to be considered on its own. The main one is THE OBESITY CODE www.amazon.com/The-Obesity-Code-Dr-Jason-Fung-audiobook/dp/B01MRKEO0U/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=Jason+fung&qid=1590242982&sr=8-5His second is THE DIABETES CODE Anyway, he goes into in-depth studies - with blood panels and whatnot - about how intermittent fasting (IM) works, why it works, etc. Basically there are two models I consider do-able. There is the shortened eating window - which is like 16 hours of not eating and then 8 hours of eating what you want. The critical part here is that this is not a diet. Even when you eat the same amount of calories in the 8hr window, your blood work improves, your weight slowly goes down. The other way is to fast one day a week - for 24 hours. This is what I do. Basically eat dinner one night and then wait until dinner the next. I normally do this Friday into Saturday. You get used to it very quickly so it's barely a bother at all. And again, your weight goes down, your blood panels improve. And it's not just about weight loss and calories - it makes you endocrinologically 'younger' - and you'll feel it. And the most important part is that it is long-term sustainable. I've been doing this for two years now. Even when you stray, like when letting loose a bit like I have during this quarantine, IM makes weight gain much slower. There is a lot of IM stuff on the internet - most of it crossing over to low-carb eating - I would avoid all that (like Jimmy Moore). IM is powerful enough on its own that you don't need to combine it with any form of 'dieting'. |

i'm sorry for you guys struggling during this ridiculous thing, hang in there is all I can offer unfortunately. The booze thing, lol i've lost a pretty good chunk of weight and kept off for about a year and half now, I was motivated by the beetus, which I have defeated without medication. anyway I have zero tolerance these days and get hammered on third drink, which I passed through yesterday lol...The intermittent fast is something I was fooling around with pre lockdown, I will read the above book as I do think it is a fairly easy long term solution to health and weight control.

IM is powerful enough on its own that you don't need to combine it with any form of 'dieting'. ive heard of Jason Fung. He has a lot of stuff on YouTube and a lot of intermittent fasters quote him. A few years ago I lost a bunch of weight doing low-carb I was looking and feeling great. It was easy to do because I was going through a break up at the time and didn’t have much of an appetite anyway. I did good for about a year and then the weight slowly started coming back as I gradually fell off the low carb wagon. While I was doing it though all my blood numbers improved incredibly. Recently I’ve been trying to get back on it but it is hard.
I tried intermittent fasting a while ago and gave up on it because I wasn’t getting the immediate results like I did with the low-carb. I like quick changes! |

From August 2019 to Covid-19 I did Intermittent Fasting, only eating from noon to 6/7/8 pm in conjunction with low carb, lost a ton of weight, more energy, every number improved tremendously. Bloodwork, blood pressure, all that. As I usually work from home, IF was easy for me. Once COVID hit, wifne working from home, buying crap groceries, eating out of boredom, I’ve fallen off the wagon, but trying to get jump started again after Memorial Day.

I was doing the same, only eating from noon to 8. for about two months did that and totally changed my workout routine to a more reasonable one for a guy my age. Was losing weight and gaining lean muscle, then threw my back out and two weeks later the stay at home Gestapo orders arrived. Been eating crap all day long with barely any exercise for about 3 months now. Have gained too much weight and now get winded in 5 minutes playing games in the driveway. Back to office work on June 1, and back to getting healthy. |

Was doing a reasonable job of trying to work out at home when this sh8t started, light weights, sit ups, peleton (yeah yeah I know)...even lost a couple of pounds...whilst still drankin....then I throw out my back a little over a week ago (practicing my golf swing in anticipation of 9 holes with the sopne) and I have been semi-hobbled since. You returning to your actual office? |

You returning to your actual office? Threw my back out reaching around a door to pick up dirty socks on the floor. SMH. Crumpled to one knee and couldn’t stand up or move for at least 30 seconds, then pain every walking step that gradually decreased over two weeks. If this, amongst other things, is mid-forties, I ain’t gonna make it to retirement. Yessir, back to the actual office. Phase 1. Essential personnel and volunteers for up to 25-30% capacity. At first I was like sweet when my boss said come back June 1. Then I learn there will be no fridge, no microwave, no water dispenser, no coffee machine. Now I’m like I’m a farkin maroon for going back now. Very Jets-like. |

My issue is not work related, in the gas turbine industry for Ground, marine and oil platform power, this and my Navy contracts makes me over the top essential. Issues I have is i am Asthmatic for one, I am a wreck trying to keep this shit away from me. on top of everything I have a 17 year old extremely uncontrollable daughter less then a week out of re-hab that has no respect for anything pushing every button I have. I am trying not to drink in hopes of setting an example her mother could not. I am starting to go out of my mind. Stay strong. Better days are coming soon. |

As I mentioned a while back, I got laid off after 20+ years at my last job. So I was only at my current job for just over a year when the shit hit the fan. So I had no idea what the fuck could happen. They sent us home and I worked around the house. Wife is working from home now and the kid has class online like a regular school day.
I got a call to see if I would come to work and do some things completely unrelated to my job. I jumped at the chance to work. Fortunately I haven’t missed a day since.
Unfortunately, I had to lay a crew member off. I have fired guys before and every one of them deserved it. But this kid didn’t. I felt bad. Kid had tears in his eyes and told me he loved the job. I have already been told that if I can hire again, I can bring him back. But who the fuck knows what is going to happen. I could see other layoffs happening and the economy scares the piss out of me.
The first two weeks, I drank hard every night. But then decided it wasn’t a good habit to get into.
So I have been doing shitloads of work around the house. Basement project, Killed the lawn, tilled the lawn and reseeded the lawn. Painting the basement now. I fucking hate painting.
Anyway, just glad to be working. Also glad that despite being stuck in the house together a lot, the family has gotten along great.
But I am tired of this. Tired about hearing about the new normal. Fuck the new normal. I want the old abnormal and anybody that doesn’t can go fuck themselves.
I’m also tired of the politicians and media who intentionally threw everyone into panic. I have taken this seriously but the uninformed bullshit has been unreal.
People think you’re supposed to have a mask on at all times if you’re in public.
NO YOU’RE NOT FUCKHEAD! READ THE FUCKING EXECUTIVE ORDER!
You see these stupid motherfuckers driving in their cars with masks and gloves on?
Holy fuck... so many fucking stupid people in the world.
Ok... felt like ranting a bit.
Hope you guys are all well.

IM is powerful enough on its own that you don't need to combine it with any form of 'dieting'. This is what I do, except the eating what you want. I still maintain a pretty clean diet during the 8 hours. I eat roughly 3000-3500 cals a day. Good fats, lean proteins and good carbs. Since the kids were little wifne and I have worked out, hoping they caught the bug as well as to be healthy. Swim 4 days a week, lift 4X a week and do a kettle bell exercise twice a week. I am able to keep my weight between 200-225 with a 34 inch waist. Bp is typically in the 115/55 range with a heart rate of 58-62. Since cancer RN wifne checks it several times a week not. It took about a month for me to get used to it/make it a habit. That was about 2 years ago. Body fat content dropped a good deal. What you eat is still important on a daily basis but cheat days are easier to recover from. |
