How I lost 25 pounds, permanently.

[manifold]

This is going to sound a little crazy, but it really worked for me and I bet it can work for you too. I lost 25 pounds, permanently (so far) simply by not being a glutton when I eat. Growing up, I was always thin and ate my parents out of house and home without a care in the world. And in doing so, I had developed a habit at meal time of eating as much as I could possibly shove down my gullet, and maybe one or two bites more. As I grew older, that shit finally caught up to me and I found myself tipping the scales at about 205. At 6' tall, that's not exactly obese, but not where I ought to be either. So a few years ago I made a conscious effort to only eat to the point where I feel mostly full, but know I could certainly jam a bit more down if I tried. And it worked. As I type this now, I'm 180 pounds.

Can permanently lose about 25 pounds cutting off an arm or leg. I'm MUCH crazier than this man.

Well smaller portions is definitely the way to go.
If you want to be a glutton, you better be willing to work off the extra calories in exercise.

Any other dieting tricks won't last. You have to work at it.

It worked just the opposite for me. Up until a year ago, I'd eat until I was miserable, stuffed, and never gained a pound. For many years, I stayed around 155 pounds. Then, I stopped eating so much, just didn't care to fill myself, and now I weigh 165 pounds. I'm 5' 6'' tall. I had to buy new cloths, and went from a 34 waist to a 36. Actually, if they made them, I could wear 35 inch waist and be comfortable. I'm not obese, but have gained since I stopped eating until I was stuffed.

Exercise alone is not enough

get out of denial

 

[Iceweasel]

Bread products will pack on the pounds more than anything. Occasionally I will fast to shrink my stomach. Regularly over eating will expand it and will take more and more to feel full.

I do the same, fast then stomach shrinks so I don't have to eat as much to get full.

or you could just take speed

Fat cells never go away, and that is why after dieting one can easily fill those cells up again so quickly, so a change in lifestyle is necessary.
