@ road:

Thank you!

@ Andrew Zimmerman:

Beer is a killer. Fortunately, I don’t actually drink that much. I’m what they call a “social drinker” – I drink only when I go out with friends and there is drinking to be done. We don’t go out that often and when we do, we don’t always drink – and not always heavy stuff like beer so it works out pretty well for my weight loss regimen. :P

But yeah, I like Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA and according to livestrong that’s close to 300 calories per bottle.

Oh and another thing is,
I Live In Alaska! So the winters are just FOOD TEIMZ.

I think the major thing my body couldn’t beat was beer drinking. As soon as I started drinking every weekend I began to develop a gut.
That and if you drink creamer in your coffee it takes forever to get that out…

I only put milk in my coffee now, and I try not to drink soo much beer all the time,
but yea I really think it’s the beer tbh.

This is a bad beer example:

Only three beers and your body is chugging almost 500 calories.
I don’t even know what to say to that….

Well done mate. I am working on same myself and it is not easy. So kudos!

It’s not that complicated: Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.

PS — congrats!!!

@ Chris Wellons:

Holy shit man! That’s an awesome change. Good job! :)

@ Victoria:

Thank you! Chronic back pains and hand problems are also effects of our biological inability to adopt to sedentary civilized life style. Our bodies were never designed to sit for a prolonged amount of time, and our hand and finger musculature is simply not designed for typing all day.

Hopefully we can fix these things in the near future. When we finally take our genetic future into our own hands we can make changes that will allow us to better adopt out physiques to urban, civilized, sedentary lifestyles we lead. :)

@ Mitlik:

Btw – I did all of this while perpetually sleep deprived, and chugging coffee like a fiend. Of course everyone’s metabolism is different, but the main idea is: calorie restriction, exercise and commitment.

@ JMoney$:

I know, I haven’t seen you in ages. We should like hang out or something. :)

@ karthik:

See, I’m the opposite way. Exercising means a lot of effort – it is hard to stay motivated. Calorie restriction means I can just stop doing something and reap benefits. Like not going to the kitchen to get a snack – or not standing up from the table to get seconds. I can leverage my laziness to lose weight. :P

@ Mart:

Thanks!

@ Tormod Haugen:

Also, I think I can accelerate closer to the speed of light now. :)

Congrats on affecting less fluid when personally doing the Archimedes displacement experiment. :)

Wow!! Awesome improvement. I’m a size 40 right now, so i guess its time for some life-hacking as well..

I’ve been chunking up since I started back to uni a few months ago. Going from active to sedentary has left me always feeling hungry but not burning off what I eat even after dropping from a 4k calorie diet to a more usual intake level. The most exercise I get is walking a mile there, another home, and fidgeting a whole lot in lectures and labs.

No way, lemon in a tea is the oldest trick in the book.
