A gym is out of the question as there is no time for it in my schedule with everything going on with the family and work. After years of arguing with my wife about diet I finally started to cut things out. No sugary junk. No more fast food. Much lower carb intake. Plenty of fresh veggies, fruits, and nuts. I haven't lost any weight, but I stopped putting it on. I also try to tie extracurricular to activities I enjoy - scouting, ice fishing, etc.
I also have a cousin who started doing the ketogenic diet and lost 20 lbs. Sounds like it was a pretty easy diet to get into. Might be worth looking into.
Im on a50 carb a day atkins. It was either keto or atkins.
I just started today. Lol. I just dont have time to exercise
I try to get 10,000 steps in scouting or even walking the bike path where i live. Now you say low carb and you eat fruit. I thought fruit is loaded with carbs? Is this true. I love cantaloupe and honey do i can eat it all day lol. But read and told it is loaded with carbs along with bannanas and any berrys. I do eat salads with chicken but i can not eat them dry i need something. Im gonna to put a program together tonight by scouting everyday somewhere setting up trees for observation spots for next year. And just keep at it. But once greenover comes then summer. Whats the next step? Just walk fields or edges
If im gung ho about somthing im all in and wanna put my exercise routines into my deer scouting stand setting and just overall hunting life but wat to do in summer? Or late spring. ?
I don't follow any specific diet other than what the boss recommends LOL... Mostly she had me cut out empty carbs like starches, noodles, potatoes, breads, etc. I didn't eat a lot of that stuff to begin with so it wasn't too bad. I don't totally avoid it unless i have a hankering for something that specifically calls for a high carb ingredient. And the kids still get a steady diet of mac and cheese and spaghetti on some days... so there's that lol.
