I've started the weigh-ins

em said:

This morning I tipped the scale at 244. I have thirteen weeks in
which to lose 25 pounds. All things considered, it doesn't sound like
a reasonable expectation, and at the same time, its not impossible. I
am going to start out with the following plan, and if I need to
change it or start counting calories, I will.

I plan to consume between 20 and 30 carbs per day. Most carbs will
come from low-carb fruits and vegetables, a few carbs will come from
eggs, and some from whatever it is they put in various packaged and
prepared meats. Dairy and nuts seem to be a problem for me. I don't
want to cut them out of my diet all together, but I like to eat those
things, so I'll only have those kinds of things once or twice a week.
(This is what every lc plan is like when you follow it, no? Nothing
new here.)
So, each day, what I eat will be something like this: a cup or so of
melons and berries, a huge green salad with mayo, meat and maybe a
couple eggs. When I'm out and about and need to grab a quick meal, or
if I'm just in the mood for it, I'll buy a small package of nuts or
four to five ounces of cheese. No cheese or nuts in the house.
(Unless you count the kids, I think they're a little nuts sometimes.)
Oh, holiday season, I may drink a little alcohol. I'm not much of a
drinker, I'll just count the carbs and keep on going.

Exercise-wise, I'll ride my bike four or more days a week and start
to do some resistance training. Moderate is the key word for me, at
least starting off. I don't think this will do much for my weight
loss, but it'll keep my spirits up: exercise is a good thing.

Good Luck, Mike🙂 I am sure the kids will be supporting you, nuts or
not🙂))

This is not an issue of ordinary dieting. You have a high objective in a
short period.
