I had one of those passionate talks in the men's locker room this Sunday morning and it was all about losing weight.
I know diet makes a difference, but as I was telling these guys I feel I am much stronger and healthier now than before when I was one a stricter diet.
I still watch everything I eat. I focus now on more portion control, but I still limit carbs, fat, sodium and empty calories, but I have put on more weight. I know some of it is muscle, but the majority I know is fat.
SO the guys this morning said I should focus on 60% diet and 40% working out. I also believe i have never given it 40% of my workouts. I told one of these "built" boys that I kinda hold back, because of my fear of injury.
I am reaching out to you "guys" to see what has worked for you. Should I go back to stricter dieting. Should I focus on high healthy foods, which really don't taste all that great? I have heard abut the fasting diets and I think I tried them before, but I could never sustain the weight loss.
Any feedback is appreciated.
