193 pounds. That is 67 lbs lower than my highest


Jun 21, 2022, 9:23 AM

weight. I was carrying around a sack of fertilizer and a couple of extra shovels over my shoulder and #### it was disgusting.

Resting heart rate at some point was approach 90 beats per minute. Now it's hovering around 60.

GO ME, PLEASE GIVE ME VALIDATION.

In all seriousness, man it's good to be sexy.

The best part of all this is my weiner looks big and veiny again. Tmale for pics.

I made changes a few years back. Dropped around 40 lbs. Same on the resting heart rate, now I hover around 50 bpm. It's the one thing I look at daily to motivate me. I love when I can get it under 50. Now, when I drink some beers, it will jump up to 56-57 bpm. It's like I can physically see the poison working lol.

Congrats! Changing your lifestyle to lose weight ain't easy!


Jun 21, 2022, 9:42 AM

Just curious how you achieved the healthy weight loss? Is there a specific program you are on?

Over the past several months the wife and I have become real believers in the low carb lifestyle (similar to the Keto type of diet). She's lost over 30lbs since April and the inflammation/swelling she used to have are completely gone. The transformation in our general health that we've noticed from just cutting out most of the carbs has been nothing short of amazing for us.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpgmilitary_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Whole foods only and macros that look something like


Jun 21, 2022, 9:53 AM

50% protein / 35% carbs / 15% fat

The balance for me is more sustainable. I love Keto but was having some blood pressure spikes and cholesterol stuff going on so had to commit to more whole grains and cut some of the fat content.

I spend about 12 hours in the gym a week so have to have the carbs to support muscle synthesis, anyway.

A typical day is:

Breakfast: 1 cup egg whites scrambled with 1 egg, bell peppers, 2 scoops whey protein shake.
Lunch: White/pinto bean mix, spinach salad w/ feta cheese and cucumbers/berries, 2 scoops whey.
Afternoon Snack: Blueberries/raspberries/strawberries
Dinner: Sirloin steak with root vegetables and green beans
Before Bed: Blueberries/raspberries/strawberries, 1 scoop of vanilla Blue Bell (gotta treat myself).

The biggest things I've cut out are cheese and most dairy (and soft drinks and alcohol obviously). The exception is ice cream. I gotta have something to keep my fatness satiated. I could probably use more lean protein in lieu of protein supplements, but that's pretty time and cost prohibitive. I'm experimenting with ground turkey recipes as we speak.

Ground turkey?


Jun 21, 2022, 10:03 AM

DUDE don't do it.

Having interviewed and toured a turkey processing plant for a maintenance job out of college, I can tell you with little doubt, that you don't want that stuff in your body.

Just trust me on that. I flat out won't eat it.... and I'll eat nearly anything.

Never seen how they're made, BUT


Jun 21, 2022, 1:43 PM

but....

"Ground beef" is almost always "ground chuck", "ground sirloin", "ground round". It's a specific muscle group on the cow that is ground up.

"Ground turkey" is a mixture of dark meats (drumsticks, thighs), skin, and fat. "Ground chicken" is almost certainly the same. The breast meat is kept and marketed as breast meat because it's more valuable.

It's basically the crap inside of a slimjim, vienna sausage, or cheap hotdog weiner. If'n you're fine with that, then proceed. Bone Ape-Tit! Just don't trick yourself into thinking you're being healthy, cuz you ain't.

At the plant, turkeys are dragged out of the truck (alive) and hanged by their feet on a overhead conveyor.

Their heads are dragged over an electrified plate that zaps them.

The conveyor continues through a steam chamber (to loosen the feathers) and a room full of knurled spinning dint pullers that pull the feathers off.

Then, the conveyor goes into a room, where a man stands in a poncho and face shield, under a shower and slits each turkey's throat and bleeds them out. He probably slits 2-4 throats per second. I bet he slits like 90K turkey throats per day. He has to stand under a shower so that the blood washes off of his face shield and allows him to see. That guy is most certainly a pyscho.

Then the turkeys travel into a huge room with countless workers that dissect the birds.
Person 1 takes the bird off the conveyor
Person 2 positions the bird in a particular fashion
Person 3 makes 1 cut on left wing
Person 4 makes 1 cut on right wing
Person 5 makes 2nd cut on left wing
Person 6 makes 2nd cut on right wing
Person 7 removes left wing and throws into a bin
Person 8 removes right wing and throws into a bin
Person 9 removes neck and throws into a bin
Person 10 removes left foot and throws in bin
Person 11 removes right foot and throws in bin
...
...
....
...
...

Person 150 throws the last little scrap of whatever into a bin.

So there are bins for every part imaginable. Tons of the bins are for "fat and skin".

The "fat and skin" bins, along with some "drumstick meat" bins, and other gibblet and scrap meat bins are taken to further processing.

Basically the stuff that isn't marketable as an actual portion of meat is made into ground turkey.

It's vile.

Jun 21, 2022, 3:31 PM [ in reply to Never seen how they're made, BUT ]

My wife still hasn't learnt this. Just like Ground beef, there's a lean ratio to all of it. She likes to buy the cheap 85/15 stuff and think it's healthy. I cooked that the other day and poored all the fat into a glass to give her a visual representation of it. I like to buy the 99% fat free cause it's pretty much no mess. I would assume that's either the breasts or the d!ck. Either way, yummo.

Re: Whole foods only and macros that look something like


Jun 21, 2022, 10:53 AM [ in reply to Whole foods only and macros that look something like ]

Chinese scientists have cured diabetes in mice by feeding them concentrated blueberry phenols. The phenols in berries, dark chocolate, coffee, and a few other foods promote foregut microbiome diversity and diurnal oscillation. The relationships between bile acid synthesis, diet, our microbiome, and our foregut hormonal milieu are so impossibly intricately linked, and the restoration of this axis after metabolic surgery is what cures the 80+ comorbidities of the metabolic syndrome.

Nice job losing the weight. Now for the hard part- keeping it off. The urge to consume and reserve calories is as deep in our brains as the urge to procreate. It is a base biologic function, and very hard to overcome in a durable fashion.
