Weight Loss Course

Yes, might be an old post, but it was an accidental post last time!

This is unedited, in large part, so these are old comments mixed with the newer and updated ones. I don’t want to change it, as I see how my knowledge about health and such has changed drastically in the last months.

I’m counting this as from the start of August, more specifically 01/08/09.

01/08/09 – 09:00 – 116,8kg
16/08/09 – 23:10 – 112,8kg
17/08/09 – 20:34 – 111,3kg
18/08/09 – 22:50 – 110,1kg
19/08/09 – 21:30 – 108,7kg
21/08/09 – 22:XX – 108,3kg (ate some chips the previous day, heavy stomach)
22/08/09 – 15:30 – 107,6kg
24/08/09 – 23:09 – 108,8kg
28/08/09 – 20:15 – 105,3kg?/106,5kg (after a big glass of water)
03/09/09 – 07:45 – 103,3kg (1)
05/09/09 – 10:55 – 104,5kg

—- long period of no weight changes because I’ve been on vacation, but it seems I did drop a bit there too —-

15/10/09 – 07:45 – 99,9kg (back from vacation and forgot to weigh myself for a few days)
16/10/09 – 07:45 – 98,9kg (Oy, nice. 1kg in a day? Oo) (2)
20/10/09 – 07:45 – 97,7kg (Continuing drop, steady diet) (3)
21/10/09 – 08:25 – 97,1kg (moar droppings… ;P)
29/10/09 – 07:40 – 96,7kg (changed the diet since I dropped too fast) (4)
22/12/09 – 18:30 – 94,0kg (long time no see!)(5)
15/01/10 – 07:45 – 93,5kg (yoyo days!)(6)

  1. Weighed with just boxers on, I’ve been criticized for wearing clothes when weighing myself. Also had a week of eating a bit extra when exercising
  2. Back on the good diet again, so I should be feeling better soon.
  3. Stomach’s not feeling uncomfortably full any more. Seeing how I felt when eating a normal portion, I think people really eat too much
  4. I dropped too fast, almost anorectically fast, and I didn’t realize it. I just ate too little and thought I ate enough, nothing magical about it. What struck me was that it’s amazing how much better you feel when you’re dieting and eating too little. The body feels light, the head feels clear, and you generally just feel good. Now I read that this is because the body is giving you juice so you can get well enough to go hunting for more food, so I’m starting to see what kind of addiction the anorectics have.
  5. Right, now I’m worried about loose skin. Bah. At least I’m starting to look a lot more slim and fit. Even getting a bit toned in the edges. Crediting Barr for the massive encouragement in simply being.
  6. Christmas came and went, and so did my weight! I gained 2kg, disregarding the pure amount of food in my belly, which pushed it up to around 97 or 98kg. I’m now back to dropping down at a steady rate. Just how much I should drop is currently beyond me. I was told the other day that I look thin, which is a good thing, but not necessarily a good thing. My intent is to look fit, but I suppose that’s more like buff if you compare to what I used to be. I’ll have to see about that. Right now I’m just trying to weather emotions, and I hope I’ll be able to stay in the saddle.

Sugar: The Bitter Truth

Robert H. Lustig, professor of clinical pediatrics and director of the Weight Assessment for Teen and Child Health (WATCH) answers questions on why sucrose is so dangerous, and here’s a short Q&A with a lot of answers about it. I did a quick Google Translate for Norwegians, it’s pretty decent, you won’t misunderstand anything as far as I could tell. Original link inside it.

If you want a longer session where he goes further in depth on the topic, I recommend checking out this video where he’s giving a presentation on their findings.

Sugar: The Bitter Truth m/Robert H. Lustig

Basically, in summary, by cutting sugar completely, except the sugar you get through eating fruit, can make you lose weight, or stop going up in weight.
