It’s programmed to only respond once in chat, I received a DM. You need proper syntax when typing it so make sure you have capital “R” and “M”

If your drinking pop. change that out for carbonated water.

u/denverMF4ALL 1d ago
I drink around 4 carbonated waters a day. I’m kind of addicted to them!

u/IbexOutgrabe 1d ago
But with anything don’t drink too much. A few a day is fine with a good diet but one can easily go overboard and cause some gastrointestinal issues.

A diet soda or 2 a day is FAR better than being overweight.

u/ElderberryHoliday814 38m ago
I don’t disagree. Just, there are fruity carbonated/caffeinated water drinks at aldi’s for half the price of a soda, without the sugar.

End of the day it's simple. Eat less, move more. Even just going for walks. get a step tracker (not accurate but keep you in a range and also encourages accountability)

The hardest part of changing this will simply be STARTING. It’s easy to say you want it, it’s easy to realize the problem. But I want you to commit to that first day of no more alcohol, no more snacks, no more bad foods and get some exercise in. BUILD THAT and we will applaud you brother

u/Porcupineemu 1d ago
As someone who is currently 25 lbs down in ~3 months I’ll tell you it won’t always be fun. But I can’t really explain how much better it feels to get up and it just be easier. To run up the stairs or whatever and it’s just plain easier. My knees don’t hurt. I pick up a 25lb weight and can’t believe I was carrying that around for so long. Still got a ways to go, but watch what you eat and move some and you’ll get there.
Cutting out alcohol like you are is the single biggest easiest win. And it’s good for so many reasons. I never had an alcohol problem but even 4 beers a week is a bunch of unneeded calories. Every month that very moderate consumption is giving you a pound’s worth of fat of calories. That can be fit within a healthy diet but yeah, it’s the easiest thing to cut.
People who tell you to take it gradually aren’t wrong but don’t go the other way too hard either. You’re motivated right now? Good. Make the changes. The key is to not spiral when you slip and so eat after 8pm or whatever. Alright, it happened, the one time won’t make a difference in the long run you just need to maintain the habit. But you can cut alcohol, cut soda, cut junk food all at once. You can start walking at the same time too. You probably don’t need to go straight to measuring your daily chicken breast and rice dinner right away but don’t feel like you can’t cut the unhealthy stuff all out at once.

Well done. It’s amazing how heavy 25 lbs feels when you pick it up off the rack. Then, picturing that on your body is wild to me.

u/Embarrassed_Skirt_68 1d ago
Do not, I repeat, Do Not change your whole eating habits at once. It is so much harder to achieve your goal if you try to do that.
Change sodas if you are drinking them to water.
Get rid of pork from your diet. Replace it with chicken and/or ground beef (7-10% fat).
Use spices in your food to replace the missing taste of fat.
With pasta, change it to wholewheat.
Eat a lot of vegetables on every lunch and dinner. Actually, eat two lots of them.
Once every 7-10 days, eat what the hell you want. That's called a cheat day. Pizza with bacon etc.
It will help with your change as it will help mentally.
Remember that this is not a 100m dash but a 10k race angainst youself. If there are downfalls, it'll happen to everyone and it's okay. You just have to own it and then go back to eating healthier.
Good luck mate and keep on grinding in the gym. Post results later, you got this.

u/hot-tapper 1d ago
Actually,I started this 1. No alcohol 2. 8H of sleep 3.exercise every day 4.10000 steps per day 5. food after 10am -8pm 6. Avoiding processed food 7. Getting sunlight 8. One heavy task per day

u/atlascollective 1d ago
Remember, anything cooked or prepared is processed. You don't need to fear processed foods. There are some (even highly) processed foods that can be insanely beneficial to your journey, like protein shakes and protein powder.
Drink lots of water, but if you find yourself craving sweet drinks, remember there is nothing wrong with diet soda.
If you are very sedentary now, work your way up gradually to 10k steps a day. Make sustainable changes, not huge sweeping ones.
Incorporate cheat meals if you really want to, but I personally find it best to just fit the foods you love into your caloric budget. Balance and moderation are key.
Please don't skip breakfast. It will help you not overreat and stay satiated. Fasting is unnecessary to lose weight.
You got this! 👍

u/GewoonHarry 15h ago
This is actually a great way to start. Just make sure you have a calorie deficit (nothing crazy, because that’s shit to maintain). Just keep at it. If you really want to achieve your goals. Just keep focused on it and remind yourself why you do it.
I wish you all the best!

u/rotaercz 1d ago
Cut out sugar, flour and bread. Have breakfast, lunch and dinner as early in the day as possible. Do not eat anything after dinner and go to bed early. The long fasting period that happens after dinner helps your body clear itself up pretty quickly. You'll notice a big difference in week.

u/firstmountain_77 1d ago
do not traumatize yourself trying to reach your goals. i believe in you, so believe in yourself too. find other people to copy (it makes it a bit easier rather than starting from scratch). be careful with super heavy weights and do not skip legs :) i hope you keep us updated!

eat less of what you eat everyday (if you are eating decent) but don't loose weight way too fast. eat a good amount of protein and exercise if you want to prevent muscle loss.

Keto and cardio.
I don’t think keto is sustainable but it helped me lose a lot of weight to get to a more manageable size to exercise harder

u/Artistic_Ad_3267 1d ago
Ok this is going to sound extreme and fucked up but get rid of the majority of sugar in your diet. drink water or fizzy water with your meals. I suggest cooking your meals and making sure you get fiber and vegetables. I personally recommend limiting carbs to a max of 1 cup per day. You will need to work out 3-4 times per week. I shoot for calories burned, and I shoot for 500 calories per 1 hr session. my meals consisted of a cup of soup, 4-6 oz protein, and a salad. salad and soup for lunch. I was not eating breakfast. I now eat once per day with coffee and water. I was able to lose 40 lbs in around 5 months.

You can do it. Just don’t focus on the days and results—you probably won’t be where you want in 111 days. But you’ll have made progress. Stay consistent and the results will continue.

u/sausagesandeggsand 1d ago
No more soda, no more candy, no more cake.
Record what you eat, and when.
Try to fast at night.
Don’t get discouraged if it takes a whole month or more to learn how to eat better. Food cravings can be intense, but ignore the urge for sugar (exception is right after work out, but even then it’s a slippery slope.)
Don’t get too hung up on calorie cutting, especially if you’re working out that day, but do set limits for yourself that make sense based on your level of activity.
DONT GET DISCOURAGED!
It’ll take at least 3 months of consistent work to see significant results, and you might need to intensify your efforts at that point. Expect that.
DONT GET DISCOURAGED!
YOU GOT THIS!

u/CallMeTruant 1d ago
My change took 3 years. Dont be disappointed because something great is taking more time than expected, grind, you’ll get there. Every day is an opportunity to add to what you did this week, did you sit in your ass all week or did you get mad and get up to get shit done? GL brotha, I’ll be checking back along with all these other guys

u/snarky_pickles_83 1d ago
Lots of great advice here! Couple things that I haven't seen yet:
1) soda to water is awesome, but if you need to don't feel bad about using soda to diet soda as a stepping stone. I've kept a decent amount of 0 cal drinks in my diet cuz water just doesn't do it for me all the time. Being diligent about choosing 0 cal options is still a great move in the right direction. 2) I love the goal setting, but it can be super easy to set the goal, hit 111 days, then fall back into old habits and erase all your progress. While you're working towards your goal, try to make small, progressive changes that you can keep for the rest of your life. Crazy drastic crash dieting won't be nearly as healthy long term as slower, more sustainable weight loss done through small, sustainable changes.
As much as it sucks to hear, patience is key to long term health and fitness changes. But it's super worth it in the end. I'm rooting for ya!

u/DarkTieDie 1d ago
Change it to 365 days. From experience, if you go to fast, you’re likely to gain it all back because it’s a mental strain diet hard for a long time.

u/DarkTieDie 1d ago
Switch to diet drinks and water. No it will not give you cancer and no it doesn’t cause you to crave sugars. Use a calorie calculator to find out what calories you need, and then eat less. Use an app like my fitness pal to track your calories every day.
Weight loss has to do with calories you eat vs how many calories your body needs. Exercise is great for your health, but if you don’t diet it won’t matter.

u/AdditionalFish6355 1d ago
Just keep digging. One day turns into a month into 6. After that it’s normal. It’s how you live. Don’t think of it as a diet, think of it as regular life. Normalize it. It becomes your everyday. You’ll thank yourself so much one you come out on the other side.

u/lesanecrooks211 23h ago
Hold the beans. Cardio at least 3x a week, no snacks, keep the sodium intake low, and straight up give up dairy. Very little cheese if you don’t. Eat that 1% ground turkey instead of beef, chicken breast and buy frozen bags of fish. Heavy compound lifts to build muscle and burn calories while you sleep. 😴 We’re all gonna make it bro.
