    My trick is to portion control and not do something asinine like Keto. We are meant to eat a wide array of things including grains. What we are not meant to eat is processed crap. I’m down 10 pounds this month simply by restricting the amount of crap I eat.

    At the end of the day it’s calories in < calories out and you lose weight.

      Yeah, keto got popular because many people lost a lot of weight doing it. And so they naturally attributed the weight loss to the lack of carbs. But in reality, the diet only works because it actually forces you to watch what you’re eating. When you have to think “does this have carbs or sugar” for every single snack, you suddenly snack a lot less. Because the overwhelming answer of “of course it fucking does, it’s a mass produced snack.” When your only options are “make something yourself instead of eating pre-packaged junk” or “don’t snack” a lot of people will opt to skip the snack.

      Basically, keto works because by eliminating carbs you’re also eliminating snacking, and are actually forced to track what you eat. At the end of the day it’s just calories in<calories out.

        All weight loss diet plans are just tricking you into eating less calories. Grapefruits don’t have magical weight loss powers, it’s just if you go on the grapefruit diet you can’t physically bring yourself to eat more than one or two, so you eat less than you normally do.

        That, and fats are more filling than carbs, so if you up the fats and cut the carbs, you’re more likely to stick with the diet since you feel more satisfied. The same is true for fiber vs regular carbs.

        So if you want a simple weight loss strategy, increase the fat and fiber you eat, and cut out the junk food. Don’t count carbs or anything, just try to increase the healthy fats you consume.

      It is calories in/out but having guardrails is super helpful to a lot of people. Many overweight people got that way because they run pretty loose ships when it comes to diet to begin with. Rules can be helpful. Intermittent fasting of course is pretty popular and followers seem to get results.

      Couple years ago I lost a bunch of weight just following “Eat Right for Your Blood Type” which I’m sure is quackery- but it was effective. Felt great too.

      It’s not ‘that’ simple. Not all calories are the same, avoiding processed Oils, Sugars and Starches is essential.

        Even if you only eat pure sugar, as long as you eat less than you burn, you’ll loose weight. You would of cause get scurvy and all other kinds of disease, but you’ll still loose weight. Your body can’t produce something out of the air, that’s thermodynamics 101.

        Hence the part where I said to not eat processed crap.

        source
      • lightnsfw@reddthat.com ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        It is that simple. I pretty much just focus on protein (for gains) and total calories and I’m in great shape. I do avoid sugary things (because it’s empty calories) but never had to care about oils or starches. If all you care about is not being fat you can just focus on calories.

      This is what I’ve been doing too. I eat less, and I’ve stopped snacking in the evening. I use to eat 3-4 piece of bread in the morning, a big playe for lunch and sometimes 2 plates at night.

      I’m eating 1-2 piece of bread for breakfast. If I eat a big breakfast in the weekend, I just skip lunch.

      I eat half a plate in the evening. Works pretty well. I think the more you eat, the more your stomach expects, so by reducing the amount of food, you stomach is full quicker

      Now, I absolutely need to learn to eat slowly

      • RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        I actually snack only at night. I keep track of what I eat during the day, made easier by not snacking, then I know how much I can eat later.

      There was a time when I had… significant cashflow issues and I got into amazing shape just by eating less because I couldn’t afford to eat more, and the things I could afford were mostly healthy. I couldn’t afford to drink anything but coffee and water, and ate one small bowl of food at each meal and going to bed hungry.

    It’s stupid but sometimes to fight the unhealthy parts of your brain you have to resort to less than optimal strategies. If it works, even just as a stopgap, it’s a win.

      • pontiffkitchen0@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Kind of. CBT is (oversimplification incoming) just every time there’s a negative thought, you make a habit of thinking a positive thought, so then your brain starts associating the connection. Basically retraining your brain to naturally go from negative to positive path, and over time your brain gets rewired to do it without consciously doing it.

    Last time I did keto, I dreamt of attractive women bathing in chocolate and inviting me to join. Did lose 30 kilos in two months though.

      I didn't truly understand cravings until I started keto. Those first few weeks as you're getting into ketosis are something else. Suddenly, "I want this very specific snack more than anything else on earth."

    Had to look soijack up:

    Soyboy Face, also known as the Soylent Grin, Nu-Male Face, Nu-Male Smile, Soyface and Cuckface, is an internet slang term referring to a facial expression associated with men described as nu-male or Soy Boys who are photographed expressing surprise or excitement with their mouth agape. Online, a variation of Wojak referred to as “Soyjak” is illustrated with the open-mouthed smile.

      I’m pretty healthy, and I do basically the same. Get super into some hobby, and stick to a strict limit on when I can eat. No eating after 8 pm or before 6 am. I can prepare food at night, just not eat it, and I make it as point to prepare healthy food for the next day.

        I am convinced people do keto only because they want to a) lose weight and b) love cheese and meat, especially bacon. And I am also convinced they overdo it on meat and eat WAY too little greens. Plus a lot of them probably do not cut out sugary drinks, soda, beer and so on. And thus the gout. Am I wrong?

    I do keto about yearly. I actually eat more sweets than usual on keto, only they only contain a mix of stevia, erothritol and maybe some other articicial sweeteners. Having these sweets (chocolade drops, pudings, (x)bery jogurt, vanilla or chocolade ice cream, almond cookies, panacota…) helps with whatever cravings i have. Also i do my best to not be around pizzas.

    Also note that most of these you can make in advance and have then ready when needed.

      Having healthy snacks within easy reach is the key imo. Get rid of the junk, and prepare protein balls and whatnot so you can handle the munchies.
