No matter what. I am not an overeater. I don't spend my days slurping big gulps and eating large pizza's at 10pm. I am not perfect, but I log what I eat in MyFitness and I stay within the limits of what a person 50 pounds lighter then me should eat.
When I was younger, I had a brief bit of success when I basically worked out 6 days a week, 3 hours a day and got into great shape. But even then I had a roll of fat around my waist that I couldn't get rid of. I could bench over 400 pounds, stay on the stair climber until the cows came home, eat 1,500 calories a day, but couldn't lose it.
Then, eventually, I got married and had kids and it wasn't possible to work out that much. So it came back on. Luckily, thanks to weight lifting, I now have a frame that "handles" the weight, ie I look more like an NFL lineman than Louie Anderson did) but I would like to lose 50 pounds.
And try as I might, I cannot. I will lose weight for 3 weeks and think that things are going good, then it stops. No matter how few calories I eat, how much more exercise, Keto, Low Carb, No sugar, eating whatever at a set calorie limit, etc.
It stops.
I have considered surgery, but again, surgery is designed to limit caloric intake...and my body has proven that it wants to stay at a set weight no matter what I reduce the caloric intake by. So I am not going to risk having 7/8ths of my stomach taken out..and lose nothing.
I have tried to get on Wegovy, I lost 15 pounds on the lower doses, but it is impossible to get and havent been able to get past the 1.0 dose. (which I get Ozempic, not Wegovy for).
If this drug comes out and it is available, damn straight I will give it a try. What else do I have to lose? Other than weight? And some money.
Oh, and I should have added, most of the weight loss came around the waist!! Where it was wanted. (and and in my previous post "do dairy" should be no dairy.
what about the paleo diet. I was about 2-3 kilos overweight, stubbornly so, mostly around the waist. Tried the paleo diet (do dairy, no starch) and it was remarkable - never felt hungry - and dropped 2 kilos in one month and it stayed off. In fact, I had to modify the paleo abit to avoid dropping further.
I am one of those " can't lose weight" people.
