3y ago The 30 Day Challenge
@redpillschool doing a mix of things. What I've noticed is that if I run out of calories early, I break the diet. I run on tea/coffee until 2pm, and then start counting calories from there. By the time I go to bed, I have about 100 or less left in my budget.
Minimizing the amount of discipline needed is key. Some people resist eating what they want all day, when they've never been disciplined in their lives, and inevitably fail. Chugging tea and having larger meals later in the day eliminates this.
@MustardSeed definitely consider OMAD or extended fasting
3y ago The 30 Day Challenge
I decided recently that I wanted to lose weight. Done being a fat fucker.
I implemented the tips from the book Atomic Habits, by James Clear, to be able to run 60 minutes, at a full pace, without stopping or panting. After incrementing 1-2 minutes / day, I'm at 50 minutes. A few more days and I will reach my cardio goals.
I'm now challenging myself to build up habits with calorie counting. You can't outrun a bad diet, so it's worth making counting calories a habit until eating smaller portion sizes becomes a habit.
I'm using Noom, which has a free library of foods to help count calories. If you want to join, any library is a good tool to make this easier.
