Not quite, but I generally agree about the obsession part. Not sane to expect to lose 2 lbs every 3 days. Very bad approach, IMO.
I don't believe in a strict diet all the time. I take a day off every 2 weeks and it is necessary/convenient for social happenings.
It was yesterday and I got drunk again.
That means that 93% of the time, I control what I eat.... goal 1800kcal acceptable up to 2100. Average loss of 0.58lbs per week.
From 238.5lbs, I lost more than 70lbs. I want 146lbs (BMI 21) and possibly lower.
I intend to eat this way for the rest of my life - click for details.
I do moderate cardio 30-45minutes 5-6 times week and I reward myself with a beer.
I might do some resistance training later but it is not an high priority for me. It is not to gain muscle, just twice a week to compensate for effects of aging, basically and improve my agility.
