Today's late lunch: a salad consisting of store-bought power greens and scallions, garden grown tomatoes and purslane, and store bought salmon that I smoked in my Traeger. A little Paul Newman's balsamic dressing on top. It doesn't get much healthier than this. #gardening #EatToLive

RE: https://mastodon.social/@impactology/116651799572987810
This is a super interesting thread. I have long been using the Joel Fuhrman #EatToLive book as the template for weight loss. It has basically the same mechanism as the GLP-1 drugs. It is a way to encourage the mechanism described in the below thread. You eat mostly vegetables and mostly raw. You minimize carbs and the more simple the less you want them.
Prior to Ozempic et al, people either didn't believe I could lose weight at the rate I did or couldn't believe it was healthy. When I hold to the plan and can avoid snacking on the many tasty treats littered in this house, I lose on average about 0.6 lbs a day. This is over a long period. At the beginning you lose a lot more because you limit sodium. If I return to the plan after a period of eating like a typical fat American, it's not uncommon to lose 2 or 3 pounds a day at the beginning as I pee out a lot of water weight.
The book Eat to Live is really about 2 chapters you really need to lose weight, a lot of bullshit case studies and anecdotes then a bunch of recipes. In my case, I'm a weirdo who can eat essentially the same salad every single day without a problem. In fact it is easier for me to stay on the plan eating the identical thing than mixing it up. Variety requires planning and thinking. My method requires going to Aldi every three days and buying the same spinach, cucumber, jalapeño, bell peppers, tomato and hummus. I make the salad, eat about 1/3 each night.
I don't eat anything of any kind after 9 PM. I try to keep most of my eating between noon and 8 PM so each day I have 16 or more hours of draining the tank. I try to sleep well and drink plenty of water so all the processes that remove fat can work.
After 10 years of going on and off the plan, I am 100% certain it works for me. The only variable is my will to stick with it. When I go off for a holiday or occasion, sometimes I stay off for months or years. When I do my weight goes up. When I get back on, it stays down.
One of the weaknesses is that when I hit my target weight, I had no good end game. I did it, stayed at the weight and enjoyed wearing medium shirts and skinny jeans. At some point, I'd go off for some time period. The longer off, the harder to get back down to my goal weight.
I'm currently on one of these. Early April, after all spring break travels, I got back on the plan. I was 233 lbs. Today, I am 209 lbs. My target weight is 175 lbs. My hope is to get there in early August but I am not putting any real pressure on the timetable. Nice to have, not doing anything drastic to achieve it.
When (not if) I reach target weight, my lifetime plan is this: Monday through Thursday, I eat as I do now. Every dinner is a salad of similar or identical configuration. Friday through Sunday, I can eat anything I want without restriction. Red Rob burger, Brazillian steak house, peanut butter sundae at Brusters, sure. The one catch is that when I weigh in on Friday morning, if I weigh 185.0 lbs or above, free weekend is canceled. This solves the "What, I never get a hamburger" problem but also has a mechanism to keep my weight from growing out of control, to solve the recidivism and yo-yoing caused by lapsing and then restarting.
I can't guarantee this will do exactly what I want but I am hopeful it will work better than what has in the past. I have tubs of size medium t-shirts and size 30 pants I want to get back in so I can't wait to get there.

The weight loss continues. I live in a house filled with snackers so avoiding the processed, sugary and salty stuff is hard but I am mostly avoiding it. I've had moments of weakness but mostly am sticking to the raw vegetables and it is working.
The poker world loves a weight loss bet like "lose 20% of your body weight in a year". People hire trainers and nutritionists. I'm doing straight #EatToLive, a $10 book, and I lost 8% of my body weight in a month eating more healthy than usual.

When I said I eat the same thing every day, this is mostly it unless I am too lazy to put it together. One bowl lasts 2 or 3 days.
I use hummus as the dressing. I used to put guacamole or mushrooms in the big bowl but they tended to get gross faster than the rest so I just add those things to the salad plate by plate.
- spinach
- cucumber
- jalapeno
- bell pepper
- grape tomato
- organic (low sodium) 4 bean blend
- milled flax seed
- raw sunflower seed -

Over the last few years, I've put on weight for obvious reasons. I was walking around with 50 more pounds than I want.
In the past, I have successfully lost weight using the #JoelFuhrman #EatToLive plan. It is mostly raw vegetables, no processed food or simple sugars. Some people call it a "woo woo" diet but how is "eat mostly salads" controversial as a weight loss strategy?
I've been on for 10 days and it is working well. Historically this curve holds for months.
