First, how I got fat. In 2008 I was in decent shape. 6'0 and weighed about 200 lbs. My life started to take a turn because I started letting stress get the best of me. To combat the stress I turned to drinking heavily like a moron. As time went on I slowly started putting on weight as well as becoming heavily addicted to alcohol.
By 2012 I was 260lbs, depressed, drinking 15-20 beer a night and eating twice a day. Usually two pizzas or something equally as bad. My living situation was horrible. I rented an apartment and it was basically a trash heap. I didn't throw anything out.
By the summer of 2013 I ballooned up to 320 lbs. Now I wanted to die. My drinking was even worse, I lost my job, my place looked like a garbage dump. I was hopeless. When I was sober all I thought about was killing myself, when I was drunk all I thought about was getting more drunk.
In September of 2013 I decided to make a change. I cleaned my place up over a two week period and moved to a new town. I started to research proper and healthy ways to start shedding the weight without the internet. I got rid of my phone and didn't get internet access. I thought it would make me continue to be lazy. I used the public library and I found that eating only natural foods was the way to do it. No shit!!!
My basic food intake for a year and a half like this:
Morning: two big glasses of cold water with a multivitamin, a hand full of carrots and a small portion of chicken breast.
Lunch: raw veg and chicken breast
Dinner: raw veg and pork loin or chop
I would have a tiny amount of nuts or more raw veg as a snack.
I was eating like that and people thought was crazy but it was working. I lost 50 lbs by Christmas and it just continued. I introduced protein powders into my diet about 8 months in after I started going to the gym.
I assume this was a healthy way, be it militant way to lose weight. I still eat like this but I eat steak, ribs, and so on as well. I also do eat the occasional piece of chocolate.
I weigh 170 lbs, haven't drank in almost 2 years, love my new job, and I love my new life.
Nutrition experts, did I do good with no prior knowledge of how to do it? I guess you can call the diet similar to paleo.
It feels so good to not get out of breath when leaning over to tie my shoes
