What kind of dieter are you?

From the land of haribos.

I like to diet and I have have done so most of my life as I am lifting weights, do you go all in or diet for a while then stop or keep dieting but in a slow way? I am always dieting but in a slow way as I dont want to lose the progress that I am making, here is my plan, from january to june in a deficit, july to september maintenance and oktober to december a small surplus, it is fun

I just try to eat healthily. I try to include 30 different fruit, veg, nuts and pulses into my diet each week but this is getting tricky as food is becoming more expensive.

I should probably look into protein shakes as I'm not sure I eat enough protein.

I have a vegan diet so get to eat shit loads.

Pretty much all home cooked so very little processed.

I have a protein shake each day (peas/oats/chickpeas).

Mostly don't worry about deficits but I'll go for a few weeks without eating evening snacks from time to time and that always makes a big difference.

If you've done it all your life is it really a diet? For me diets are short term things to get you to a goal?

I am your typical yo-yo dieter. I do well up to a certain point then fuck it all up. Tried them all (except stupid fad ones like the cabbage soup diet or juice plus/Herbalife etc....I like to eat actual food).

I do go to the gym 5 days most weeks, I lift heavy shit and do functional fitness type classes. I just need to sort my nutrition out!

Healthier to do it long term and yes it's still a diet.

Yes it is. A diet really just means/describes the food you eat. For example a healthy / unhealthy diet. Whichever foods you habitually eat that’s your diet…

You can go on a specific diet if you are wanting to lose gain ot maintain your way…

High good fat & protein. Low carb (with a weakness for home baking). And crazy amounts of supplements to even everything out for mind/body/soul balance.

15 hour intermittent fasting most days- but that’s based on female cycle too- as is my exercise regime.

I recently spent some time in the company of a GP who specialises in metabolism

He tells me that your metabolism is akin to a central heating thermostat. In your early years your metabolism sets its self to automatic. If you start fiddling with the dial (dieting) to suit your needs the thermostat then isn’t automatic….. you are manually adjusting your metabolism so it doesn’t know where automatic is! Hence yo yo dieting

Sounds like very simplified hogwash to me

Yo-yo dieting, where people lose and gain weight, is what happens when people do unsustainable diets and don’t know how to eat normally when off the diet

For example, people will do keto and lose weight, but they don’t know how to keep the weight off without keto. So they either do keto for life, or gain it all back when they stop keto

I just try to have a varied diet with portion control and exercise as often as I think is necessary. If I know I'm going to binge on snacks and alcohol for example I usually go for a long run a day or so beforehand knowing that I've already gained a calorie deficit.

Vegetarian high protein low carb.

500'ish deficit plus exercise for the cut, down 25lbs in two months so no complaints.

Probably going to have to up to maintenance soon, then look at a recomposition.

The sad thing is if I want the abs, I'm probably going sub 200... which after almost 25 years of being way over that feels very peculiar. I could go all more plates more dates, but sheesh, I'll stick to Joey Delaney style as the side effects from Daddy Delt Death Stars systems is less than ideal.

Never been on a diet - however as a diabetic there are certain foods I will avoid or have in moderation purely for health benefits as opposed to weight management. Lucky enough to have a fast metabolism and I exercise daily that will do me, I love my grub xx

But nobody cares

What I will say about eating less food though is that personally I've found doing so makes the food I eat way more enjoyable. I don't think it's true that everyone on a diet is miserable. They might really enjoy their diet.

I'm an amazing short term dieter but I always yoyo.

Honestly, I lost over 7 stone in six months then put it all back on over the next three years. Then lost 5 stone again, currently in the process of gaining that back.

I can stick to any mad diet for a few months but I know it won't last because when I fall off the wagon I do it big time.

I'm completely rubbish at moderation. Small sustainable changes for life. I'm very much a binary all or nothing, on the diet or off the diet type of dieter, which isn't healthy and doesn't get me the lasting results.

All things in moderation, a relatively balanced and healthy diet but no guilt at a takeaway. I don't drink alcohol so not going to feel bad about an occassional pizza or McDonalds

I've exercised all my life but in recent years I've got more strict so my diet reflects that. I've got the same size waist at 50 as I did in my teens so I'm guessing I'm doing something right

That is good you workout too and yes, that is a good point as it doesnt feel like dieting for me, more a lifestyle. I like the last month of the deficit months, it is where I really push it. I increase the cardio with 2hrs a day and with a 200 calorie defic from the food, the daily deficit is around 700 to 800 calories

I like to train with medium heavy weights in the 15 to 20 reps range. I train mostly with time under tension. I like to fatigue the muscles as much as possible, then the last set is 10 rep with a bit of more weights

If your metabolism is trying to attain a certain level of body fat, then "bending" it with a diet will lead to temporary fat loss until the dieting stops. When you eat in a certain way, and it achieves a certain effect, then breaking that "habit" inevitably leads to the body lapsing back to its old status.

I think I disagree

Certain diets force you to “put the fork down” in one way or another

For example, keto cuts out an entire macronutrient. By completely cutting out carbs, people are naturally going to eat less, thus putting down the fork

They stop keto, and suddenly the fork is back up. They are eating carbs the way they did before they lost the weight, and it comes back

Another example is intermittent fasting. You only eat within a small window. This naturally cuts out snacking, and essentially you are putting the fork down. Stop intermittent fasting, fork is back up.

I think if you want to stop to-yo dieting, you need to do it the hard way and learn how to do portion control with the diet you already eat. A diet you could eat forever. Not some fad your trying to do to lose the weight

If the method you use to lose weight isn’t something you can sustain, you’ll struggle to sustain the weight loss too

Abstinence is better than dieting. We don't actually need to eat every day, 3 times a day. Nothing wrong with going a day, or even two, without food. But we are conditioned to keep eating. Take a food break every week and roll back the pounds. And £££'s

We both eat an adapted ketogenic diet, carbs don't really agree with me so this suits.

By adapted I mean higher protein than fats but less than 20g carbs per day, traditional keto is high fat.

If I remember rightly, true keto is only low/moderate protein because too much protein will be converted into carbs and can knock people out of ketosis right?

Not heard the term adapter keto before, sounds interesting

Apparently so, but I use blood tests to monitor and I've never been out of ketosis, eating this way has allowed me to lose over 4 stone in body fat but bulk up at the same time (we looked very different 6 months ago haha)

If you search up the dave palumbo keto diet that gives you a basic insight into it.

Never been a dieter, I just eat what tickles my taste buds, some of which is healthy and some very much not

"Vegetarian high protein low carb.

500'ish deficit plus exercise for the cut, down 25lbs in two months so no complaints.

Probably going to have to up to maintenance soon, then look at a recomposition.

The sad thing is if I want the abs, I'm probably going sub 200... which after almost 25 years of being way over that feels very peculiar. I could go all more plates more dates, but sheesh, I'll stick to Joey Delaney style as the side effects from Daddy Delt Death Stars systems is less than ideal. "
That is good, following a vegetarian diet is also good

During the week I'm quite strict with my diet as in just eating healthy I don't drop food groups or anything like that though and I have what I fancy on a weekend or on holiday etc
