Pretty much nothing since Sept, was worried about further injuring myself. My Achilles took until last week to stop hurting though but I hope it's healed (lol) now.
I might go out at the weekend once I've got some daylight.

Weight loss is going well though,  reached Onederland a few days ago (below 200lbs or the less catchy 90.72KG) and am at my half way point.

I got a P90X set for my birthday, need to save a little cash and get some equipment together for it.

30lbs in three and a half months. Crazy shit when I'm eating delicious steaks and other "fattening" things and not really counting calories for the past couple of months, I just eat when I'm hungry. Feeling much heathier too, no more heartburn waking me up at night, I'm sleeping less hours and and I have better energy and concentration levels through the day. I'll probably relax a bit more on carbs when I'm at target weight or If I start lifting, but I'm pretty confident that I can eat this way forever.

Makes me wonder how many millions of people have died or suffered from obesity related diseases in the past 50 years because our trusted officials are too busy taking bribes from agribusiness to fact check their dietary recommendations.

Weather is pretty good for running right now tbh Terror, but I doubt hearing that will do anything to motivate you. In the end you just have to chose whether you want to go out or not. If you want to go out then go out. I don't think that wet leaves should be stopping you.


You personally managed to get me to start running in the first place, so you are perfectly capable of motivating me to get out there.

I think that it's also that I'm worried that it'll start snowing soon and that'll force me to stop even after I've motivated myself to start again, so I'll wait until February or something.

I was actually surprised that it has made a difference on my fitness, I ran for a train the other day (from home, I knew I was running late) and wasn't out of breath at all, which was really odd, especially as I was sprinting and I'd only practised jogging.

Coronary diseases are a bad time zarf, if you are going to eat meat constantly i'd stick to fish.

Am interested to hear more details about your diet though, i'm probably going to have to go the eat lots of meat route to slim down. Important for long term health to transition to something else when done though.

Terror it's not going to start snowing soon. Even if it does you can still run when it melts, or before it comes down. Unless there is snow on the ground right now and you live in Siberia putting off starting until february is just self defeating. There will be weeks you can run between now and february, I promise you. Your town isn't going to freeze over to such an extent you can't leave the house and find a suitable route.

Yeah, I'm on Keto. loads of good info here: www.reddit.com/r/keto

It's not really a high meat diet, It's very low carb (20g - 50g a day), then enough protein to maintain your lean muscle mass - somewhere around 100g / day for me - and then the bulk of your calories from fats to whatever calorie deficit you want. I'm comfortable eating between 2000 and 1500 cals a day, which is a deficit of 500-1000 and gives me a weight loss of between one and two pounds a week (body fat is 3500 calories/lb).

I do actually eat a fair amount of fish, usually salmon. Other usual meals are based around beef/pork/lamb steak, bacon, omelettes, chicken. I also eat plenty of dark green veggies, have a bag of frozen broccoli and one of spinach, have them with at least one meal a day, they are cheap and delicious after 5 minutes in a steamer and then with some butter melted over them.
 
Don't worry about heart disease, there's no link between dietary fat and heart disease on low carb diets.  It's all been FUD springing from some severely flawed trials back in the 50's (basically they got only the people who were on the low fat part of the study to also give up smoking and do exercise, so any conclusions about the role of dietary fat alone are meaningless).  Subsequent properly controlled studies have proved there's no link. Lots of people on reddit post bloodwork comparisons too and they all improve drastically.

Cholesterol is actually a good thing, your body needs it to transport energy to your cells. Your liver naturally produces two entire packs of butter worth of cholesterol every day and regulates itself effectively, any cholesterol you eat just means your liver makes less.  (properly controlled) studies have also shown that a low carb/high fat diet actually improves the ratios of cholesterol in your blood so you have less of the type that can cause plaques and clog arteries.

Some other good sites with properly cited peer reviewed studies are www.nusi.org, a nonprofit funding studies into nutrition, and www.ketogenic-diet-resource.com . Theres a calculator to work out how much of each type of maconutrient you should aim for to meet your goals here - http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/

The main reason why Keto is so effective is that you don't really get hungry on it or have peaks and troughs in energy levels like you would on a more normal diet, so it's easy to stick to your planned calories. Carb heavy diets over a long period of time fuck with your Insulin and Leptin levels, eventually causing resistance to their receptors and thus fucking with the body regulation mechanisms (fat storage, hunger) that these hormones control. This ends up in a downward spiral because the result of becoming resistant to these hormones is that you end up eating more of your carb heavy diet because you feel hungry and tired, and exacerbate the problem.  Once you get sufficiently resistant to Insulin you're a type 2 Diabetic.  

As you can probably tell, the whole thing has triggered my geekiness, I've become a bit obsessed with reading up about it, finding out how all the biology works is really interesting.

Grr, went home over xmas but couldn't find  my pull-up bar. I also need to buy some dumbells at some point.
Weight loss is still going well, mostly behaved myself over the break and I'm down around 20KG / 3 stone now.

Gonna need a new suit now, it's looking a bit comical on me.

Short on funds though :/

Yeah, I need to drink more water though, not getting enough is slowing me down. Been around the same weight for a few weeks now. Problem is work, there's no nearby tap that's potable so I'm generally on Coffee which doesn't help hydration.
