Congrats

Impressive and inspirational! Congrats man!

Great job man! I gave to get off my azz and get to doing what you did. I've wasted the past 15 years

Congratulations

That’s awesome man

That is fantastic RH. Great job!

My hat is off to you!

The most eye opening thing is how my perception of what,or who is healthy has changed. I look at pictures of friends I always thought of as thin,and I see them with an unhealthy gut. I'm not anorexic either. I have ate every time I was hungry and I've never been hungry on this diet. I simply live off about 70% raw,fresh green vegetables, and very little high quality meats like sardines, Salmon, lean beef, turkey, and some pork, I can definitely tell the difference when I eat too much meat or pork.

Anyway,back to my health observations.

I recently heard that over 80% of Americans consider themselves healthy with 2 or more of the top 10 killer diseases. The study concluded that Americans consider their comfort as health. As long as they feel like doing what they want to do,they think they are healthy. The problem is that most of what we want to do is sit,drink beer,and watch TV.

The way I'm starting to look and feel is alien to most people. I've heard several rumors that I have cancer. My wife has been asked twice if I've become anorexic. In reality my muscle tone and skin appearance has only improved. I don't look sick.I look healthy,which I've come to realize is a completely foreign concept to most people where I live because they don't see many really healthy people. If I'm bragging at all I'm bragging on the Lord. He is the one who has guided me every step and I could preach about that for hours,but I digress.

When I started at 330lbs I thought if I could just get to 230 I would look fantastic. The thing is though that I don't have and have never really had a target weight. I just eat perfect,and get lots and lots of exercise,with good rest as well, and it all happens.

I just thought a while ago that I am now at 180 and still dropping while at the same time getting stronger.faster,and seemingly younger in every way! It really is freaking AMAZING to me! I am very close to L sits and fully suspended push ups. I mean doing pushups with nothing touching but your hands,but still in a horizontal position. I can do 25 on one toe holding about 20 lbs on that toe.

What I'm saying is that my perception of what a man is supposed to be able to do at a certain age has changed completely! I realize I've wasted 20 years and can't get them back! I'm begging you guys not to do the same thing I did ,and waste all those years!
Do some youtube searching of amazing people,and you can see what is really possible. I'm starting to believe nearly anything is possible,and more importantly I am beginning to see just how poor,sick,broken,and crippled,most us us are and we didn't even know it! I think Jesus told some folks that same thing a while back.

God bless you all!

Fantastic.... We all are so proud of you.

Now, If I had a list of what to eat and what not to eat I might could get started.

WTG! Health is the most underappreciate, yet the most satisfying element of our non-spiritual life.

Seriously,just no sugar and no grain and no potatoes. After that you have to adjust everything to how it suits you and makes you feel. For instance,I ate some tomatoes for the first time in several months athe other day. I stopped months and months ago because I heard they could cause inflammation ,being of the nightshade family. I could tell the next day and for about 3 days. I had some joint pain and some inflammation that I had not had for months.

What you really need to do is eat as much of a variety of fresh uncooked vegetables as you can,Kale,Broccoli,cauliflower cabbage,spinach, cucumbers,lettuce,avocados,botchoy, peppers of all kinds.The more fibrous the better. I also eat eggs,cheese,and very low carb greek yogurt.
I eat all kinds of meats but I've tried to learn which ones make me feel better. I can now tell the difference.

That's one thing that changes over time and after you get off the sugar addiction. The perception of why you eat completely changes after about 3 months completely off sugar or sugar substitutes. I now eat the most healthy and nutritious foods I can. My perception of what that consists of has changed as my knowledge about proper nutrition has increased. When I get hungry,I don't think in terms of"what would taste good right now. I think in terms of ,what would really make me feel great right now. I make shakes out of kale,avocado,broccoli,banana,coconut milk,blueberries, strawberries,and greek yogurt. I'm pretty radical now,but you have to be to lose 150 lbs in a year and wind up healthy at the end.

Basically I monitored myself and paid attention to how I felt,and adjusted my diet and exercise to feel the best. I don't even think that would be the same for everybody.

Congrats man.

Congratulations sir. That took some commitment

I've found that the more sugar you eat... the more you crave it. Sugar makes me hungry all the time too.

That's AWESOME 👍🏻

Great Job! I too had a coming to Jesus meeting after open heart surgery and losing fifty pounds! Eating right and exercise is very hard but can be done but it has to be a lifestyle change and is a struggle everyday but I have no desire to go through what I did again let alone put my family though it again!! Keep up the great work!

that is excellent. Great choice and great job sticking with it!

Awesome job.
I know it wasn’t easy, especially at first.

Congratulations RH. You have been a great inspiration to me. I’ve leaned that losing weight is MUCH more mental than physical. Developing the mental toughness to lose weight has been my downfall every other time I’ve tried. The other largest downfall is been trying to eat “healthy” per our conventional medicines and governments definitions of healthy eating. They are both dead wrong.

Someone posted above that there was no telling how many years you’d added to your life. The number of years is secondary to the improvement in your quality of life. I actually have quality of life now and I didn’t 3 months and 29 days ago. Tomorrow is my 4 month anniversary on keto. I look at myself in the mirror and still see a fat man but that fat man is changing quickly.

Keep up the good work and the inspirational posts and thank you for the help.

I like potatoes, and grain. Don’t need sugar
