Yesterday I was at an Italian restaurant for lunch. The calories were listed next to each menu item. Nearly all the past dishes were nearly 2,000 calories. The pizza was at least 1,300. Many of the salads were over 1,000 or more calories. I like restaurants just like everyone else, but I am avoiding them now.
2,000 calories? That's more than my calorie target for the ENTIRE day. I'm targeting 1,500. What an easy way to destroy your diet. I live within walking distance to at least fifty restaurants, but I am avoiding all of them.
I weighed myself this morning to find I've increased by 1 kg since last week. It has to be water. It is what it is. I have to record it. I'll weigh myself later this week. I'm discouraged by the slow progress I'm making.
Walking is the new fitness craze. You see this everywhere that walking is better than running. It's supposed to be great for weight loss. I walk 2-3 miles nearly every day, but I really don't feel like it does anything for me. My heart rate maybe increases to the 80's with a brisk walk. So now my latest idea is to change from walking to rucking. This is where you walk with a weighted vest or back pack (aka ruck sack). Rucking is supposed to turn walking into a Zone 2 heart rate exercise that burns 400 calories per hour. That could potentially be a game changer for me. As I go on my walks, I am seeing more and more people with weighted vests on. So I ordered a 20 lb weighted vest and I'm going to try this.
August 1st is an important milestone for me. At that point I want to be at 72 kg (79 this morning).
Probably you may want to eat in rather than eating out. Weight your food, track your calories. Learn about the macronutrient you need for daily - the amount of carbs (c), proteins (p) and fat (f) in gram (g). From the number of slices of bread you eat in the morning to measuring the chicken breast on the food weighting scale, it is VERY important to read the label to know how much C, P, and F in every food u eat. I weight my protein intake by eating 400g of chicken breast daily , eating 8 eggs daily, and 2 large bowl of white rice, in between meals i would have a calculated protein shakes with oatmilk, oat cereal and some peanut butter etc. I did this food tracking since 2 years ago, I see myself drastic changes of my physique in gaining size and losing fat. There is no amount of exercise can help you lose fat except tracking your macronutrients. You are what you eat. It takes a bit of work to track your food, but once you establish your routine, everything will come easy. Good luck,
