Second stage diet, IF+primal

[Sarumyan]

Sarumyan:

From one bro to another I think you need to stop the extreme yo-yo fasting. You are really unraveling and it's clearly not healthy for you. Your diet should make you feel strong, mentally robust and satisfied, not paranoid and depressed.

This is coming from a guy who used to be bigger than you (i understand how you want to lose weight) and who does IF regularly.

To be honest, the depression didn't come from the diet. Relationship stuff. Being in ok shape actually pulled me out faster.
Tx though

Updates : 274.5 , solid though. Last 4 days have been hectic, but I am back!

Around 1400 calories today, training - boxing 1.5 hours.

Day 16 : 272.4

To be honest I finally feel normal, I can wear tshirt and look good in it, nothing is jiggling around much
Still, need to keep myself motivated to get to the damn 245 now.
I started dieting August 29 and now, October 26 th and 40 pounds later I am not fat looking, so great results so far.
But again, I went from fat to bulky to just big. Now I need to promote myself to just tall and muscular.

Weird tip for weigh loss - make your apartment or home .. warm and comfy. Ever since I redecorated and cleaned everything and turned on the heat my mood was so much better.

Feels very alive right now. So yeah, keep it clean boys

Regimen - a mess, eat breakfast and etc.
Lifestyle - very active, classes, exams etc.
Training - got my ass back to MMA gym, starting to do traditional kettle bell program and heavy focus on boxing (angles ) and wrestling now.
Notes - finally done with midterms.
Despite my weight - I feel like a bloated 265-er rather than a skinny 275-er, if you know what I mean. I am looking muscular in a t-shirt, generally feel light on my feet, and was already fast for a HW at 290, going into warp-speed at 240 lol.
Decided to make my goal - 240 pounds, not sure I can cut that low - will be at very low body-fat, but its a goal.

Avoid junk food. I found its very addictive over the years once you cave and eat shitty.
