Naw, just sparkling water and lemon juice for me. I lost about 8 lbs after this post reminded me to really count calories, it seems like I might be eating too many nuts. I've gained about 3-4 back but that could be muscle.

Weighed out all my food yesterday on a scale: 1091 Calories. Also leg day at the gym, so burned around 400. Granted, I did notice I ate less than usual, so I will continue to measure for the next week / two weeks and see exactly how many calories I eat / drink / burn.

Appreciate it Hazard. I agree with calories concept in general, definitely thought this massive change in diet would help. I'm cooking with a lot of olive oil / avocado oil, perhaps I'll spend a week measuring out exactly how many calories I'm consuming with a scale just to get a solid idea of what I'm doing.

Hi, I’m Nomadic. I’m new to NerdFitness, decided it’d be good to have a community to work with! Nice to meet you all! About me: The name comes from travelling all over the world. Have been searching for a place to call home, for someone to spend my life with and for some fitness! My recent health story in short: Currently at 238lbs, aiming for 200lbs or lower. At the beginning of June I said, “Right, that’s it. Make a change” and went on a Keto diet. Keto has worked for me in the past (I once lost 20 pounds in 2 months) but for some reason this time it would just not work. So, went to a nutritionist and he said “You need nutrients! You’re starving your body so it’s holding on to fat”. I changed everything on 1st of November: Switched from eggs and avo for breakfast to Superfood Cereal (Oats, chia, sunflower/pumpkin seeds + Oat Milk) Whey Isolate Protein shake for lunch with berries + avo Lean protein (salmon / chicken) for dinner All meals are eaten between 11am and 6pm (intermittent fasting) Twice a week gym routine Three times a week 30 min walk / jog I’ve kept this up for 45 days and... nothing. 0 pounds lost, 0 inches around my stomach. This is crazy! Anyone else seen something like that? I know I’m stronger - weights have gone up a little bit. I know I can run a bit further (now at 2.5 min jog / 1 min walk and increasing), but beginning to lose momentum. How long does one need to stay the course before seeing something! Thanks for reading!
