Anybody Ever Obese?
- Thread starter BLADEZZ
- Start date
i was in Krogers one day to check my BP and they had a machine that took your weight and calculated BMI... at 6 foot at 230ish i had a BMI of like 30 or 31...
it said i was obese.
u could try a keto diet... look up CKD or TKD. i've done CKD before and it works wonders for me. it supposedly works best for people who have a LOT of weight to lose than it does for people who just wanna get rid of a few lbs. its kind of a pain the first 2-3 wks, but after that your energy shoots back up, you lose all cravings for carbs and the fat melts away.

I was 250 pounds, 33-38 percent bodyfat (I'm guessing) at 5'11. I didn't watch my diet at all until I got down to 175@ 15% bodyfat. just made sure not to binge on sweets or doritos and made sure to be very active (jogging at first, then aggressive inline when I lost about 20 pounds)
I was lucky enough to have a strong enough core (legs, glutes, back) to start jogging and rollerblading despite the fat.

I was about 6 foot 240lbs of fat, I am now about 175.
The first thing I did was cut out the fast food and junk foods, then added a little cardio and lifting and I was down to 210 before I knew it

I used to be 300 lbs , I went down to 185 and then put on about 15 pounds of muscle.
I wouldn't recommend directly jumping into a CKD or TKD but I would recommend to *start* cutting down on the sugar and starch food products, totally cut out unnecessary sugars like soda and iced tea and such ( switch to diet ) that's the best first start, drinking more water and switching off any sugar loaded drinks. The carbs in one can of soda is almost twice my daily intake of carbs.
So that should start you off in the right direction. It's often very difficult to drop sugars completely, you have to do it gradually so you can follow the diet when you jump into it. Try to get into eating healthier carbs like oatmeal, brown rice and yams.
Diet doesn't do it all though, you need to exercise as well, if you are 315, I wouldn't be concerned about loosing muscle at this point. Start doing some cardio in the morning and evening. You need to get your body to use your body fat for fuel, which means you have to cut off the main fuel source which is carbs.
Once you get into the zone and are comfortable controlling your carbs and switching to healither foods you can start a more dedicated type diet like the CKD or TKD
Well hope my two cents helped

I was. I was 245 in June, and I am now 165. The diet was probably not very good, though. Especially not for gaining any mass. But it worked really well for me for losing weight.
Let me know if you want the sort-of guidelines that I followed. But keep in mind that I'm no dietician.

As a kid I was very chubby - then ended up having anorexia - went down to 85 lb and almost ended up in the hospital. Because of that I hate to eat - but because of working out and bulking I do eat 6 meals a day. Thats why its so easy for me to eat clean all the time, because if it wasn't for weight lifting, I would be anorexic again. I do eat about 2000 cal/day but I never cheat and never have the urge to - some say good will power but for me - I hate food.
