Dropping LBS

So, my dad weight is getting a little out of control. I had actually lost about 60 pounds a couple years ago, but then we moved had a couple more kids, the lifestyle and schedule changed and I hung about 40 pounds back on the belt.

How would YOU go about cutting 30-40 pounds by any means necessary. And being who I am, I advise my clients on their crazy surgical options, like bone shaving... but for purposes of this discussion I'm more interested in diet, supplement, and exercise options.

You should probably consult a Dr. about this.

Oh, wait a minute............

Organ reduction is another functional method of weightloss

My organ can't get much smaller

Have you considered eating in moderation and light exercise?

The only reason I opened this thread is bcause I thought it was going to about dropping linebackers into pass coverage.

Colon cleansing.

Try doing a Whole30 (would post a link, but can't yet) and see how you feel after 30 days.

I did it 2 years ago and kept at it past the 30 days. Modified my diet to more of a Paleo/Primal type of eating. Combined with exercise I lost close to 100lbs and have kept it off so far

I've done a whole 30 twice, helped me get down to those last few lbs. I'm really more curious about what people would do than I am looking for advice, I'm doing a keto diet right now and its going fairly well... getting enough fat can be really hard, but hoping to also include some weight lifting and moderate cardio once my balls heal.

I made some cabbage soup this weekend. It tasted so good I had 3 bowls of it. The gigantic crapfest that ensued for the next 2 days was painful and terrifying.

I suppose you probably looked something like your avatar?

I just joined a jiu jitsu gym, on days where I don't go to that I go play some pickup soccer or run.

I Eat whatever I want in the morning but rarely eat dinner. Dropped six pounds in the last week

Did you have the babies?

Another thread gave me an idea. Shave your pubes.

Sorry that was dickish. My point is this: for most men, it's fairly easy to lose weight. We're kind of built for it. Diet is the key. Lean proteins and vegetables. Stay away from carbs and sugars as a rule. Proteins like fish a nd chicken are great because it takes linger for your body to break them down so you stay full longer. Seriously. Exercise is secondary. I mean get out and do stuff, but don't kill yourself over it. Now dudes will say blah blah blah I'm full of shit, but this has worked for me. And I'm fucking sexy at 39.

Did you try breast feeding? I heard it really helps in dealing with pregnancy weight gain.

Yeah but like my penis, I was shooting blanks.

I lost 40 pounds on the Keto diet in the span of 4 months my senior year of college. I since got a job that has led me down a terrible lifestyle change and I've put that weight back on, maybe more. I highly recommend keto to anyone if they can maintain the routine.

Have you guys just tried eating less?

Shut your whore mouth.

I've lost 9 lbs alone this week masturbating to am wood closing on saturday with tits mcgee

I had a bad knee, really bad (now, it's gone). Anyway, the best thing I did for it was lose weight. Three things: less fat, less calories, more exercise. I saw this in a client's office a little while ago, and it really captured my thought process.

Supplements. Get on the 24 day challenege EOM.

On a related note, my wife wants to get the Focus T25 video.  (1) Has anyone here tried it?  (2) Do any of you know where I can get it?  I searched online and only see Amazon and other fitness sites.  I have to believe Dicks would have it, but they don't show it on their website, nor does MC, Walmart, etc.  

TIA

Try craigslist. Seriously. A buddy of mine has paid $25 and $30 respectively for P90X and P90X2 on craigslist. The people had bought it, opened up, put evey thing back in the in box, then sold it a while later. So they were both like brand new.

I'm hoping to get it for her for Mother's Day, but I'll give CL a look. Thx

People buy it, burn it, put it back in the box and sell it.

Sounds like a win-win

I actually do.  She's starting to let herself go a tad though, and I'm hoping this will really boost her self-esteem and get her back on track.  Oh, sorry, forgot the rules:
