[quote=moneymaker]Vegan definitely sounds healthy and I’m always amazed when I see vegan bodybuilders. I have a new theory that in the morning when getting up all the sugars are gone and the liver is starting to burn lipids but what most people do is eat breakfast which then shuts down the lipid (fat) burning, so I might go against traditional knowledge and start skipping breakfast and not eating until I really feel the hunger pangs, I rarely feel hungry when I awake unless I have a small dinner early the night before.[/quote]
If you’re going to skip meals, I think it would probably be best to skip the dinner versus breakfast.
Breakfast and lunch fuel you for the entire day. Dinner, you don’t do much after you eat (usually). I think for me, ever since I started to eat less for dinner, I’ve been sleeping better too.
My fitbit is also saying that I should take at least 10,000 steps per day. I’m currently around 8500, lol
Vegan imho I think is overkill. If you stay with white meat or fish, and go light on the carbs, it’s probably more helpful. I use to eat a lot of bread and rice, and ever since I eat less of on the carbs, it’s been helpful too. Even lean red meat occasionally isn’t that bad i think. Going to in-out burger every other day, probably isn’t a good idea.
I also eat way too many bananas. I think I down about 4 a day….
I’ve been able to keep my weight around 162ish, and that includes presumably slightly more muscle and less body fat now, since I’m doing more weigh training in addition to running.
The first 15-20 lbs was easy. Burning off fat where I’m at has increasingly been more difficult. It’s like trying to undo decades of neglect. I just wish I had cared much earlier.
