I was. That's how I got to where I am today: 195 lbs. down from 306 lbs. almost exactly one decade ago.

I'm looking to take my fitness to the next level.

Ill be including my pre and post-bikram photos (~45 lbs weight loss) with my results thread!

Try weight lifting. If you workout well, your body will be busy trying to repair the muscles using up a lot of calories. Toss the fad diets in the shitter.

Shrubwise just try intermittent fasting. It is the newest diet "type" that is out. Makes much more sense then any kind of high protein diet etc. Its really not even a diet but I've seen it work in a few friends they drop tons of weight and don't really change very much food options.

Don't cut out too many calories or you will do alot of damage to your metabolism. Excersise to encourage your metabolism to keep going. Weight lift to increase your metabolism.

And make it a lifestyle, not a phase. You have to live it to really make it work.

The nutrition guy on Starting Strength is a really good source.

If only you people knew exacly what the US puts in the food, you would probabley not want to eat the same.

Theres a lot of 'poisons' that were banned from being put into food a looooong time ago, the US just decides hey lets put this in peoples food.

I'm calling bullshit, name one poison, cite the WHO on human tolerance levels and prove that it exceeded that quantity in any food on the US market that is legally still for sale.

Stay on the perimeter of the supermarket (fruits/veggies/meats/milk/eggs) aside from going into the center for staples like bread, rice, oats, and spices.

Go to the gym and do Bill Starr's Linear/Madcow 5x5. ( http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...0023931&page=1 )

You really can't get any simpler than that and you'll have the body of a pro athlete in under 2 years.

e: the reason you are tired and moody is because you are starving yourself, and your body will panic and start storing everything you eat as soon as you get off because it's pretty sure you're trying to starve yourself too

e2: this works both ways, if you're fat and trying to get in shape, or if you're skinny and trying to put on muscle mass

"starvation mode" is a myth, and whoever warns you at length about it (see above) is guaranteed fat as hell irl.

your metabolic rate will not suddenly plummet so much that you will hoard calories and gain weight

fatshit logic: "Okay, so all you have to do to lose weight is ... eat more food! Wow, isn't that awesome."

are you telling me my advice will turn people fat because wow

also I'm very much in shape

e: even if it's not direct causation the correlation between starvation diets and what happens to a person (be it physically or psychologically) after they go back to a "normal" diet is why no reputable nutritionist would recommend a ketosis diet over a balanced diet of moderation

I think what he means is that there are a bunch of things the rest of the world finds unsafe that the USA lets slide because of big money and lobbyist. For example GMO corn and NutraSweet in milk, it doesn't hurt to have the former pres of Monsanto as the new comish of the FDA. Fuck they're putting NutraSweet in baby food now and trying to get a law passed so that they don't have to fucking put it on the god damn label.

I read an article once that claimed "sugar" if it were just discovered and a new product wouldn't be fit or safe for human consumption, I'm sure that's an exaggeration but you see what I mean

Mark Lynas, the man that got GMO banned in the UK, now speaks for GMO crops after learning the science behind it and no longer succumbing to fearmongering.

Artificial sweeteners have not been shown in any legitimate scientific studies to be harmful unless ingested in very large volumes which would be unrealistic for any human to consume.

Protip: anything is pretty much a "poison" if ingested in the right quantity.
