My nephew told me a weight loss secrete that not only made sense, IT WORKED!
I was a steady 170~180 for about ten years. Then during 6 months of a new job that fed us free food, I shot up to 192 lbs. I was complaining about how bloated I felt and was lacking energy to my nephew (who worked at a health supplement store and studied nutrition as a hobby). He said stop eating everything except baked fish or canned tuna (high protein ratio food). Don't season it. You are going to be hungry the first few days. After about two or three days, switch that to tuna for lunch and a small low carb dinner. If you can swing it, try to only eat carbs every two or three days, the rest of the time eat fish and tuna.
It was hard the first couple of days, but I started feeling healthy within three days. So much so, that I was encouraged to keep going. After about three weeks, I began to increase my carb intake with mostly pasta and marinara sauce. I avoided eating other meats except maybe thrice a week for dinner. After a month, I had lost about 15 lbs, felt good and with lots of energy. I continued for another month, but it became increasingly difficult to stay solid on the tuna because I was getting burned out. My wife hates ALL forms of seafood and fish, so I was on my own for most of the dinners.
But in 3 months time I was back to 170, looked great and felt great. That was 8 years ago. Now I am back up to 195 (all in my stomack). Just tonight, I bought me a supply of tuna so that I can start that again. My goal is to reach 180 by Thanksgiving and stay at 175 for as long as I can. Wish me luck.
BTW, I walk lots of places and ride my bike often. I just need to step up the specific exercise for my stomack.
