        No carbs after 6:00 PM (because of slowing metabolism). Grazing is better than "3 squares a day". If you can average 100 calories (eating) per hour, you're set. Survival mode, no movement, requires 800 calories per day. Anything above and you gain weight unless you move around. You need to burn 3000 calories to loose one pound. That's about 10 - 20 hours of exercise / walking, depending on intensity. Distance vs speed; and reps vs weight. Aerobics for heart health.

        I pump aluminum every night. Doesn't remove any weight, but it helps me not to care. Works for me.

        If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

                Talk to your doctor about this. They can give you direction to where to get started. The bottom line is in order to lose weight you need to consume fewer calories than you expend, which basically means eating right and very possibly less and exercising more. A lot of health care plans actually cover weight loss for the purposes of getting a "healthy" weight.

                              Actually I'm 6'3" and weigh 185. We don't buy sweets or junk food, rarely eat out. We walk a mile every night, except when lightening, which it was last night until late. We used to do a log of camping, hiking, and traveling until this virus slowed us down. I have gained a few pounds since we became semi-sedentary but am working on it. But at 71 the pounds don't come off as easy as they used to. Oh well still looking at the green side so can't complain!

                                Reminds me of an episode of “Creepshow” I watched. A company had found a weight loss method that involved using some kind of leech that would suck out the fat instead of blood. It seemed to work great until there was an eclipse. Not going to say what ultimately happened but you can probably guess. By the way, “Creepshow” is a horror anthology series on Shudder based on the movies of the same name which are an homage to the old EC horror comics.

                                    Eat nutritious (lots of veggies) and get into ketosis by keeping net carbs under 20 and maybe even under 10 grams a day. Watch protein intake, keep it around .5 * body weight in lbs = grams, otherwise that shit will basically turn in to sugar in your body. Also, learn which proteins absorb better. E.g. egg whites only absorb less than 20% and the rest turn to glycogen (stored glucose), whereas the entire egg is way higher. Weigh yourself every day, use a scale that sends measure to your phone so you can see it on a chart. Don't give a shit about calories eaten or burned. Just make sure you are eating zero added sugar. Do HIIT training and take long walks. It will relax you at night and lower your cortisol. 1.5 hours of serious sport, e.g. soccer or HIIT will burn about 600 calories, but again this is not for loosing weight it will make you feel good and may help you get to ketosis faster. Have a very large metal cup that you keep ice-water in. Do no drink coffee/caffeine, it raises cortisol. No more milk. It isn't doing your body good. It helps to get MCT oil (medium-chained triglycerides) which will convert into ketones fast and allow you to "fast" from carbs immediately. There are a few ways to consume it. Your snacks should include nuts/seeds that are low carb. Get extra light tasting olive oil and add it to everything, also sea salt. Eat the nut/seed snacks with organic peanut butter added (not the cheap skippy shit, because you will react to the pesticides from eating so much of it and it has added sugar). Get the ready to eat bags of spinach. They are your staple food. Cook entire thing in a big pot, add butter, salt to your liking. Cooking veggies can destroy some vitamins, but also brings out others. Learn which ones gain/loose due to cooking. Buy whole mushrooms (they are easier clean), slice and cook in a pan and add to anything. They provide more taste than most people think. These are just some ideas. You want to burn fat for energy instead of glucose. Most people have ~70,000 calories in their body in the form of fat, and only ~1,700 calories of glucose in their blood stream. A typical person has to keep eating throughout the day to keep blood sugar levels high or they crash. The best method is to switch your body to using fat as a source for energy to loose weight. This is ketosis. Also, start watching Dr. Berg on youtube. He has tons of presentations on keto diet and the science of it. Good luck.

It helps to get MCT oil (medium-chained triglycerides) which will convert into ketones fast and allow you to "fast" from carbs immediately. There are a few ways to consume it. Your snacks should include nuts/seeds that are low carb. Get extra light tasting olive oil and add it to everything, also sea salt. Eat the nut/seed snacks with organic peanut butter added (not the cheap skippy shit, because you will react to the pesticides from eating so much of it and it has added sugar). Get the ready to eat bags of spinach. They are your staple food. Cook entire thing in a big pot, add butter, salt to your liking. Cooking veggies can destroy some vitamins, but also brings out others. Learn which ones gain/loose due to cooking. Buy whole mushrooms (they are easier clean), slice and cook in a pan and add to anything. They provide more taste than most people think. These are just some ideas. You want to burn fat for energy instead of glucose. Most people have ~70,000 calories in their body in the form of fat, and only ~1,700 calories of glucose in their blood stream. A typical person has to keep eating throughout the day to keep blood sugar levels high or they crash. The best method is to switch your body to using fat as a source for energy to loose weight. This is ketosis. Also, start watching Dr. Berg on youtube. He has tons of presentations on keto diet and the science of it. Good luck.

                                          but I don't want to get caught in one of those "eat right and exercize" scams.

                                          Actually it's the "eat right and give a damn about exercise" which are the scams ;P Other than that, the only thing that comes to mind is this[^], but take care: you might be losing more than weight! :suss:

                                          GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)
