I didn't see this a couple of days ago when I joined. I'm not much with the computers.

I'm Scott, 54, from North Carolina. At 6'2" and 306 I have been overweight most of my adult life (post military anyway). I work rotating 12 hours swing shifts that manage to be 13+ most every shift. Any change in lifestyle is hard based on work schedule alone. 

First time on any diet in 15+ years. I would describe mine as 'dumpster diet'. I started every day with a Mountain Dew and a Little Debbie cake, almost like it is the gospel. Mostly I ate healthy meals but the in between stuff has always been trash.

I got the first thirty days done without reading the instructions other than 'consume only meat/animal products'. 

I'm shooting for 30 more days now.

I have lots of questions.

We are glad you joined us and glad you got started with this WOE (Way Of Eating).
Will Rodgers once said, “There’s three kinds of people in this world, those who learn from watching, those who learn from reading and then there’s always that one fellow that’s just got to pee on that electric fence to find out for himself.
Me? I’m the one who reads. I did my research before I jumped in. I’m also the guy who read the manual when I buy a new car.
I think I know which one you are .
Seriously though. You’ve chosen the proper way to eat for optimal health.
Bare in mind that this isn’t a diet in the conventional sense of weight loss. It’s a healing diet that is a committed lifestyle. This is all about healing your metabolism and a wonderful part of that healing process is weight loss.
Anytime you got questions we will do our best to help answer them.

That's the gist of it 😉

Keep doing what you're doing. And ask away. 

Welcome aboard!

    • "Marching into March with Much Motivation"

      For this months challenge, we are going to support each other in our efforts to get up and move. Spring is in the air. The weather is getting better. Get out there and MOVE! Go for walks, hike some trails if they aren't too muddy. Or just make a goal to get on the treadmill or lift some weights more than usual throughout the month. Get in the habit now, and we just might have beach bodies when summer officially hits, lol. 

       

      Just like before, we encourage you to check in daily, and share what you have eaten, perhaps a weigh-in if you're willing, and enjoy in some small talk. 

      The March drawing will be for a 4-pack of Carnivore Bars!

      Every Reply in this topic will count as an entry for this month's prize drawing. Back-to-back posts count as 1 entry as a counter to spamming.

      Attending Monday night zoom also counts as a bonus entry. Being a supporter of our YouTube channel also gives you an entry.

      Let's keep our resolutions going strong!

    • Today is February 1st and marks the first day of "National Fasting February" - and yes, this is a thing. Google it!

      For this month's challenge, we are going to support each other in our efforts to practice various forms of fasting throughout the month. The type of fasting you wish to do is entirely up to you. We are going to encourage INTERMITTENT FASTING, that is to put it simply, skipping a meal so that you are only eating 2 meals a day instead of the traditional 3 meals a day. The goal is to enjoy these meals within an 8 hour "feasting window" and then no food in the remaining 16 hours "fasting window" (in which 8 of those hours you should be sleeping).

      An example is waking up at 7am, but waiting until 11am-noon for your first meal, and then having dinner at 6-7pm for your 2nd meal. Other people prefer to eat a breakfast, then a mid-day lunch, and skip dinner. 

      If you want to throw in a 24, 48, or 72 hour fast just to show off by all mean do so, lol.
