huh? Too many carbs? I'm already on the low end for carb consumption... I think you're messing with me.


I eat plenty of fruits and veggies for fiber. And I add chia (and or flax) seeds to my yogurt, and a couple servings of various nuts per day. I add raw oats to my smoothies every other day.

I don't pay anywhere near that much attention to what I eat.
In fact, the only time I pay much attention at all is when I'm either losing weight and trying to stop myself from losing more, or have already lost some and am trying to get it back.
I'm currently in a "stop myself from losing more" phase, which basically means I'm just trying to make sure I eat enough, even if I'm not hungry.

I'm trying to drive my fat % down and maintain or slightly add weight, so I've actually increased my calories per day. I try and get a minimum of 150 grams of protein per day.

Carbs are killing this country

I've basically been the same way. I had to drop weight when I started training for marathon nunero uno so I cut out shit like desserts, candy, burgers, donuts, soda as much as possible, etc. (I do this every time I'm on the fourish months training now) and now when I do eat that stuff it messes with my stomach because it's not used to it. That's honestly a good diet deterrent when you just simply don't want the stomach ache.

I've had to work to stay at a reasonable weight most of my life. In my early 20's, it dawned on me I should look at all the things people do to lose weight, then do the opposite. So, if I read something saying, don't eat this if you want to lose weight, I'd make sure to eat it. If I read something that says don't eat right before you go to bed, I'd make sure and eat right before I go to bed. In fact, the best thing I've found to stop myself from losing weight and eventually put a bit back on is to eat high calorie/high fat food right before I go to bed.

Looks like you've done an outstanding job cutting calories and losing weight.

What I've learned regarding diet in the "journey" since my heart attack, is that most people don't know shit about diets, and there's sooooo much misinformation.

Bottom line for weight and waist, is calories in and calories out. It's a cumulative thing... eating before bed has no significant impact. It CAN/MAY impact your sleep, because the body is trying to do 2 things, but if you're waking up fresh and rejuvinated.... eat away. If you're sluggish, push up that last meal.

In your situation, have you ever had your basal metabolic rate calculated, though? That might be worth looking into.

I sometimes have to throw down some calories at the end of the day, otherwise I'll wake up super hungry, and won't have a good workout.
