Real Weight loss?

GOB, I'm a big boy to, Nov. of last year I was 5'10", 300lb. Now I'm down to about 260. The only way to permanently loose weight, is loose it the opposite way you gained it. You will have to make some drastic changes in your life style. Things that cause you to gain fat are no longer in your diet. That doesn't mean you can't have a good meal. As far as exercise, do some research and find a form of exercise that gets your heart rate up and holds your interest. Try to use the biggest mussels (legs) for as long as you can, when they get tired switch to another set (arms or back). Don't expect to get rid of something, that's been with you most of your life, over night. Mussel burns energy. Fat is energy your body has stored. Starvation diets cause your body to go into a protective mode and it will actually burn mussel before it will deplete the fat supply Bodybuilders call this a “sticking point”. You always need an alternate plan different exercise, different food.

I was a power-lifter for almost 30 years and when I crushed my ankle and could no longer exercise the way I normally did I went from 245 to 300. I was eating healthy food, just too much of it and not exercising much at all.

The only fool proof method for loosing weight is, "eat less, move more".
