To whoever put down the pizza comment and is 108 lbs….yea you may enjoy you pizza, but genetically your metabolism is very high…I work at GNC and I see this day in and out…people come in like you all of the time because they are to skinny…they look like a walking bag of bones because they can eat whatever they want and at anytime they want, and not gain a single pound…so before you crack on this guy for losing 400 lbs why don’t you try to gain weight and see how hard it is…

I have a deep respect for your will, David. And a question: is it what now leads you to keep current diet and trainings, fear from becoming what you were or is it perhaps a philosophy that recognizes what comfort/junk foods really are and what they give you?

i have had many stuggles with weight loss and losing fat for a long time. I manage to lose up to a dress size in a week by doing just a 12 minutes routine thats just body weight… and still be able to eat my confort foods. I am also able to eat ice cream every day and drink smoothies and eat chocolate.
The main difference for me was changing into a diet that allowed me to eat the foods i loved and it worked well for me.
i belive that cutting your calories to much can be a bad thing too… and that eating the foods you love is still important not just for your body… but for your sanity too
i had stuggled big time before i figuered my body and how to do it correctly… now i dont have to starve or eat “rabbit food” all the time.
I made big changes when i realised that a calorie is not always the same and that eating is what controls when and how you lose fat.
i eat raw chocolate ever day… and ive lost heaps of weight!
even though i hated working out, i found that doing the most bang for your buck exersises like squats and pull ups made the biggest differences. I hated doing crunches and using ab gadgets for weight loss… it can be fun and simple… but may not be easy if you do not know how to do it right.
I also believe in doing interval training (short bursts of intensity) rather then doing long steady paced cardio. Lots of research show that it can make you fat. There is a way to lose fat all day long
thanks again
