I'm down from about 330 to now about 295. Crediting, having been working hard the past few months and a shift in diet. I find my body craving lots of protein.
That doesn't exactly mean a lot of meat and some Neanderthal diet. I'm balancing fruits and veggies in with it. Moderating carbs somewhat yet not a complete withdrawal, still getting good fiber.
Watching out a good bit for purines. Eat too much fish, too much of any "rich" foods, I have bad gout flare-ups. Gout leads to inflammation, leads to no more mobility. Need mobility to keep dropping weight, getting healthy.
I'm 6 foot tall and have to stay on testosterone for my life. My body does not produce its own T, nor E. I was born masculine and like being that naturally. My pituitary did not function, ever so I missed out olfactory nerves being grown, no sense of smell. Also, I'm wired up neurologically different from the "normal" dryer setting.
Would like to leave a 50 waist to get back to maybe a 36, even 38. I know that is likely "pushing it". Everybody can dream, no? Have to watch out too with arthritis, my bones thin anyway. I look back at all the times elders told me, "boy, it'll catch up to ya." Wish I had listened and not worked or played so hard and fast. Of course, I think we all believe in being invincible.
Coming around and "smelling the coffee", now. Been a trip, they say, it's all "downhill" from here in. Hope so, be an easier trip, maybe.
