I am fat and hate it

[Anonymous]

Cutting carbs dramatically worked well for me. I tried to avoid high fat things like bacon and stick to healthy fats.

OP, cut yourself some slack. Lexapro is bad news for weight gain. If you haven't already, switch your antidepressant. Start with a few modifications to diet and increase your exercise. Just be diligent about sticking to diet and exercise and you will start seeing changes. I really think Lexapro should be prescribed w/ a weight loss drug or appetite suppressant b/c it is really, really bad at making you gain weight fast.

This is my DD. ReallY needed the medication but is hating the weight gain. I plan to ask the psych if there other options. Op, the Lexapro is the culprit here. I don’t think diet and exercise will solve it. They may help but the med is the issue. I’ve been in Wellbutrin and while I did not lose weight, I also did not gain.

What are healthy fats? Isn’t a gram of fat the same number of calories if it’s from salmon as it is from cream cheese?

I eat 4 slices of bread with jelly for pre workout breakfast, 80g oatmeal for post workout breakfast, french bread as a morning snack, 200g of white rice with lunch, avocado toast for afternoon snack, 200g white rice with dinner, and 150g fruit for dessert. I’ll let you guess how fat I am.

Carbs are fuel. Diet depends on activity level. Stop the nonsense and eat in a well balanced deficit over several months.

Is this a joke??

DP. You can eat whatever you want, every day, just in moderation. Carbs will not make you fat. Overeating will.

No..but it is a man with extreme exercise compulsion issues. Of course his “diet” will be wildly different from what OP would need

I don’t have exercise compulsion, I have a training regiment and eat with a purpose.

I can assure you this is not a joke, and you’re missing the salient point: eating in a well balanced (including carbs, protein, and fat) deficit over the long term will lead to sustainable changes in your body composition. There is no secret.

Ok. So poster eats 7 times a day and has chronically high insulin given the heavy carb load and frequency. Let us know how this works out for you long term.

Eating seven times a day? Really? Not great on your system, and results in chronically high insulin.

Training for what? Are you a NFL player? Olympic athlete? If not, your “training” is a middle aged compulsion

It seems to work for him. Some people tolerate carbs well and some don’t. Seems genetic. I eat the same amount of carbs or more, snack frequently, and have my entire life and have no blood sugar issues and no evidence of insulin resistance at 55.

Why do I need to train for something? I enjoy working out. It’s time I get to spend on myself. After a few years of doing it on my own (and struggling to achieve results commensurate with my effort) I now work with a personal trainer and nutritionist, who provides macro targets based on the day’s effort.

For instance, Saturday I will ride my bike for ~2.5 hours and should burn around 1800-1900 calories. My macros for the day account for that with a target of 700g of carbs. Today was a recovery day with light mobility work. My carb target today is only 225.

Carbs don’t make you fat. Excess calories make you fat.

No one cares about your macros and your training regimen and how many grams of fruit of you ate.
