I'm 34 and stay thin (BMI 21) by eating as much non-carb food as I want and doing strength training every couple days. My theory is that starving yourself and running long distances is counterproductive, because it teaches your body to be economical with energy, which is the opposite of what you want. And eating mostly fat is good for you, because it keeps hunger in check and teaches your body to use fat for fuel, which is exactly what you want. It's broscience, but it works for me.
- magic_beans 10y agoSo what do you eat for lunch during the work week, for example? And for dinner?
- cousin_it 10y agoMeat, fish, eggs, dairy, nuts, leafy greens, onions, mushrooms... Also fruit or berries if I want something sweet. No bananas though, because they make me hungry. A great lunch for me would be a lot of chicken with cream, mushrooms and onions, then an orange for dessert. Washed down with water (I hate soda).
- amorphic 10y agoI concur. If you want to burn fat do resistance training. Think about the energy it takes to move something heavy from one place to another. That's the energy you're burning when you do resistance training. Cardio is great and necessary for fitness, but it's not the key to burning fat.
