Hi all Steemians！
I have started to get very stressed about loosing weight recently! I used to be in a super good shape before and many people even looked up to me and asked for advice !
Now, 40 kilos later, they only ask me what my favorite beer is. Yea, it is my Achilles heel, along with recent bad food choices and a lot of stress. I have spent the last two years starting up a company here in China and it has taken its toll.
But recently I have made some adjustments, and stepped down from the role as a CEO to focus on sourcing and product development and this has allowed me to focus more on my health and I finally found the one diet that works for me. Below are 5 diets I have tried and only one works for me !
So here we go:
Diet 1 - "The Chopstick Diet! "Use chopsticks and most of your food will drop on the floor and also it will take forever to finish the whole meal, most times you will end up giving up before you finish the meal and thus you eat smaller portions! This only works if you are a newbie with chopsticks, so this diet doesn't work for me anymore!
Diet 2 - " Run Forrest Run" Exercise hardcore and burn fat! used to work for me, but nowadays I always end up being more hungry after workout and I have a more intense need for snacks and beer, so I eat more and still gain weight. Diet 2 is not working for me!
Diet 3 " The Einstein diet"- calculate every single calorie you eat. Sure you can download apps and log it, but I stopped already after 1 week as I got tired of the constant counting. Diet 3 is boring and a bust !
Diet 4 "Robinson Crusoe Diet" buy one kind of fruit and then throw away all the food at home. Starve yourself till you get the weight you want. Come on, we all know that skipping meals just make you end up at the closest fast food restaurant on a Saturday and you order two mega size meals with extra mayo! Diet 4 doesn't work for me.
So diet 5 ! Drumrolls...: " The Keto diet". Finally I found a diet that works for me ! You can eat as much as you want, you can even enjoy occasional glass of red wine, but you have to choose what you eat. Basically the diet is about switching from getting your energy from carbohydrates to fat! You become a fat burning machine! Already lost 7 kilos in 2 months roughly, and still I haven't been an angel, a lot of occasional cheating, but hey, we are only humans, and humans like to eat, I love to eat, now I can do it, I just remove carbohydrates and switch it for juicy meat, fresh salads, cheesy omelettes and a lot of veggies ! This diet stabilizes your bloodsugar and you don't get urgent cravings and eat more normal amount. Also my need for sugar is basically non existent, and I have more energy ! Diet 5 is the one for me!
which one is your guys favorite diet??
