Low Carb

[Lukie]

First off how the hell are ya !luck? I haven't been on here in about a year sure miss the hell out of it.

Hey as far as diets go don't think low carb think bad carbs. The best advise I can give you is study up on the Paleo diet it will change your life. It really has mine. I've been going by the paleo way for a year now. I've dropped 57 pounds my body fat % is really low although I've not checked it so I'm not going to throw a number out there. If you can combine the paleo diet with a good workout program like CrossFit you'll never look back.

Here is a condensed version of paleo: Eat meets, vegetables, nuts seeds a little fruit no sugar!

Then do constantly varied, functional movements at high intensity and you'll have it licked!

Yeah that type of eating is soooooo much better than the typical diet that a lot of people eat. I do think you can go too far into the clean territory, as is often the case where some people go to great lengths to avoid perfectly neutral foods like potatoes or a small amount of milk or fruit. Then again there is a certain amount of biasesness from me when I say that being young, train with heavy weights and don't want my bodyweight getting too low, pretty fast metabolism etc. For a lot of people the most important thing from both health and physique perspectives is to just lose the weight and how you accomplish that is often secondary in importance to just getting it done and keeping it off.

edit: also there is something to be said for having the occasional cheat meal or small divergence from clean eating or paleo or whatever you want to call it. Personally I tend to do that at restaurants, parties, and other social gatherings. It's almost comical how many times I have gotten the whole 'wow you eat like that, you are so lucky/have great genes' or something to that effect. In any case it is helpful to know that you don't have to just eat meat, fish, eggs, fruit, nuts, dairy, lots and lots of veggies and nothing else the rest of your life.
