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??

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.

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

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.

Keep eating bacon, butter, and walnuts, and wondering why your clothes don’t fit.

I'm a 41 year old woman. Last year I lost 65 pounds (I lost the first 40 of it in the first 4 months). Maybe not what you, or apparently others, want to hear, but what worked was just plain old restricting how much, and to some extent, what, I ate. I did:

- IF -- no eating from 7pm to noon
- counted calories
- no calories from drinks of any kind -- no alcohol, no starbucks, no other sugary drinks, etc
- almost no sweets, desserts
- limiting, but not eliminating, carbs; meals heavy on veg and protein
-automated meals, particularly M-F; got a little boring, but this was surprisingly very helpful!

I ate a lot of hard boiled eggs, salmon, roasted vegetables, salads. and nonfat greek yogurt. Skinnypop popcorn makes a great snack -- you can eat it slowly, and it's crunchy.

When I indulged, it was in very small quantities. Now I'm successfully maintaining, and portion control is absolutely key.

Not OP, not overweight, and not on a low carb diet...but you sound like a total douche for even chiming in with your “tips”

I'm over 50 and have lost over 85 pounds in the last 15 months doing similar stuff: low carbs, meals heavy on veg and protein, lots of salmon and roasted veg, no eating after dinner and before ~10 am (except morning latte). Only drink that latte and water, no alcohol or other sugary drinks etc. I'm ~15 pounds away from a "normal" weight now. It has been doable and just requires strength of will.

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?

There’s saturated fat, monounsaturated fat, poly unsaturated fat, etc. Please Google it if you’re unfamiliar with these terms.

Can you say more about the "automated meals"? Do you mean a meal delivery service?

No, no -- not a meal service. I mean that I planned my meals out for the week, and particularly for weekdays meals (especially lunches), I often made them the same for a whole week. That made the prep easy, and took choice out of it. I didn't need to rely on will-power and make a bazillion "good" choices throughout the week -- which can feel daunting -- I just needed to rely on my plan.

I guess eating in a deficit is too difficult to understand

You have to move more than you eat. And don't eat anything that is fried, has alot of oil, sugar. Start that way.

Most people who have dramatic weight loss cannot maintain it long term. Maintaining for a year does not show it is maintainable permanently. It is not just "willpower," it's metabolism.

OP, if you are just trying to be a little slimmer and a little fitter, diet and exercise may be sufficient. If you are obese and have been unable to maintain weight loss, look into Mounjaro, Wegovy, Saxenda, Ozempic, etc.
