I see in other posts you're drinking beer again. How did this overall reverse diet work out for you? Were you able to increase calories to a sustainable level without regaining too much body fat?

This form of diet has been the best results for me over the years. I basically shocked my metabolism into working hard again which has been doing the work. Between the two calorie cuts I did I lost 7ish” off my waist which is where most if not all of my fat was. The key after the big cut is to slowly add calories back. So go from 2500 for 6 weeks up to 2700 for a week, then 2900 for another, then back to maintenance calorie intake of 3200. Since then I have still lost another few pounds.

As far as beer goes, I still don’t really drink much. I don’t drink during the week and maybe have 2-3 beers total in a weekend. While doing the cut you cut out alcohol completely which help. Since then I still love the taste and flavor of different beers but don’t go rushing toward them on the weekends like I used to

Finally started a diet myself. Been eating less calories, lifting three times a week and been walking around 10K steps a day. So far down 9 pounds from 187. Happy I’m seeing results.

Awesome! Keep it up! Strength training is one of the best form of burning fat and losing weight from what I have found
 
I've had elbow issues off & on for the last 25 years, so I've tried everything there is with varying results. Came across this video recently and it has some great info in it. Hope it can help some of you with the same issues.
 
Two new PR’s this week. Hit 530 trap bar deadlift yesterday. On Monday I hit a 500lb back squat! Legs are officially cooked this morning lol

These are big considering my body weight is 20lbs lower than last time I did 1 rep max’s for these lifts. Last back squat pr was 445 and 525 for trap bar.

Having your own morning ritual is fundamental to taking great care of your physical health, feeling mentally aligned and capable of achieving new goals...

Here's why 👇

When we have a strong start to the morning it sets our day off in a positive way which means we are much more likely to back that up with more smart choices.

If we start off with unhealthy food and stress, it puts us on the back foot which means we are much more likely to say things like "I'll have to get back to it tomorrow."

We have got to move away from this way of thinking which is achieved by taking control of your morning routine.

Let me share mine...

Step 1: Movement

I will always begin my day with movement, whether that is walking outside or getting on a Stairmaster.

That goes for when I am home or travelling, no matter what, I get it done.

Even if you just do 20 minutes it sets you up for a great day ahead because you feel good about the fact you got some movement done and it gets the mind focused.

Step 2: Healthy breakfast

My breakfast is pretty much the same every day.

It gives me my protein, micronutrition and energy for the day ahead and of course, it's another win.

Step 3: Goal-setting

This doesn't have to be as big of a deal as it sounds, I just mean having 3 essential things you want to get done by the end of the day.

Having this habit as part of your morning routine means you will be more purposeful, focused and provided you get the s*** done, over the year you make so much progress!

Your morning routine does not have to emulate mine, but I do recommend looking to factor these things in because it sets you up for success which is why we are all here, striving to become the best version of yourself.

Figured this is as good a place as any to ask this: Anyone done one of those Methylation tests? I'm still looking into it and not fully convinced but the reasoning sounds interesting.

Had to google it.

No I haven’t. I feel like a lot of what it is testing for tho can be changed and altered just by your eating habits and with proper strength training exercise. Your stress and anxiety/depression can all be controlled by changing those things.

I personally was going thru a long depression spout about a year and a half ago, especially when I was at my heaviest. Changing my eating habits alone helped ten fold in my mood let alone how as was able to perform at the gym.
