      1/ Someone DMed me asking for thoughts on weight loss & home workouts. As is common, making a public thread to help others First, let it be noted that I'm not a gym guru, not a nutritionist; I'm just some still-pretty-chubby 48 year old dude. So...you should not listen to me.

      2/ If you've read that disclaimer and are still reading this thread (like an idiot), here's what has worked for me: * keto works. Cut almost all (all?) carbs from your diet. Eat meat, veggies, cheese, and not much else. * track calories on a notepad or in a spreadsheet.

      3/ The tracking part keeps your attention focused. You get what you measure. * Use a calorie calculator to figure out how many calories you burn per day. Aim to to consume 1,000 calories less than this per day.

      4/ * The purpose of keto is half to tell your body, at a chemical level, "open up the fat stores and start burning them". The other half is to reduce or nullify your experience of hunger. Carbs !@# with you and push your hunger into overdrive.

      6/ If you do the above, and stick to it, you will lose weight. However, the "if" packs a lot of freight there. The "if" conceals the hard part. Keto helps a ton by reducing cravings. If in doubt, eat some more meat. Throw away all the tasty carbs you have on hand.

      7/ Weigh in once a week, track that weight on a spreadsheet or something. The downward curve will be a motivator. Psychologically, redirect your thinking from "this pain sucks" to "this minor inconvenience is awesome bc it means I am achieving a goal".

      8/ There is a ton written about self-motivation, visualization, etc. Can't hurt to read some of that. Keep your sacrifices small so that you can tolerate them. No one can hold onto a burning pot handle for months or years.

          11/ re workouts: my belief, based on some reading, but not exhaustive study, is that the cardio of the 80s, 90s, and 00s is not productive in weight loss, but intense weight training is. A lot of guys have had good success with relatively short intense gym workouts such as >>

          12/ One or two or three sets of 50 kettlebell swings. ...and nothing more. Get a 35# or 50# KB. Watch some vids for technique. Work up to it slowly. Get to 50 or 100. Work further to 50 or 100, 1 min rest, another 50 or 100.

          13/ Goal of this is not to burn calories per se, but to hammer your body and tell it, at a biochemical level, "hey, we're not sitting in cave over the winter, trying to hold onto calories. It's spring, and we're chasing gazelle with an atl atl."

          I hope plenty of people listen to this. It's not only "not productive in weight loss" it's also a pacifier to keep people from doing anything difficult. SPRINT the 400-meter dash regularly! Speed, coordination, power, endurance, strength, it's got it all. https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1255115440306696193 …

          16/ my belief (both from reading and personal experience) is that, yes, keto diet and exercise really do have major effects on biochemistry / hormones that make weight loss much much easier.https://twitter.com/CensoredJeff/status/1255124385951817728 …

          17/ yep, lotta good things in this space ; I've had success w burpees, w alternating punching the heavy bag and body squats, etc etc etc 80/20 rule tho: decent diet and some exercise is the 80 ; dial in the remaining 20 laterhttps://twitter.com/TheSimonEvans/status/1255126549193515008 …

          But on this - while totally endorsing "keep it simple" - alternate KB swings with full press up to star jump burpees, and you will activate pretty much every important muscle there is, and exhaust your heart and lungs more than just swinging can. imho.

          In terms of the approach that's worked for me (I am not an 'intuitive eater'): The first, biggest, and sometimes -only- step to diet control is measuring what you eat, and only eating what you measure. If you can't measure, then err slightly on the side of caution.

          i got away from everything when i got sick and regained part of my loss. but i have to agree with all because it worked for me, even not cutting out all carbs, just back. i used the samsung health app on my phone because it ties to my watch and includes steps in calculations.
