Detail: originally weighed almost 238lbs (17st) 4 years ago, my goal was 190lbs then I'd be happy. Got down to 182lbs (13st) through sensible eating + no exercise. Still not happy. Got down to 168lbs (12st) by using the keto diet and occasional exercise. STILL NOT HAPPY!
Although I'd lost the weight, I had bad body composition (or skinny fat as some may say, stubborn belly fat!). This was due to lack of exercise (I realised afterwards!), possibly smoking may have an influence. I realise now I wouldn't of been happy at 150lbs with no muscle on me!
ANYWAY, that was 3 months ago. After 3 months of summer, holidays consisting of alcohol, steak and ice cream, here I am weighing in at 192lbs.
So I'm spending the next 3 weeks seeing if a Paleo (Meat, Nuts, Veg only) diet restricted to 1200 cal a day will work for me, but WITH exercise this time! Only limited, 3x a week lifting weights for short periods, and low-med intensity cardio every day, will not only make me drop weight, but give me better body composition aswell.
Anyway, sorry to bore you but I just felt if I don't join a site like this and write it down, I wouldn't end up doing it haha. Thanks
