I know it sounds counter-intuitive, but eating high-fat low-carb is the most effective diet I've been on so far.
I've lost about 14 pounds this month. And the best part is, this diet doesn't take nearly the same amount of willpower as a typical "weight loss" diet. On this, I can eat fatty, rich foods, as long as I avoid any and ALL forms of carbohydrates. It's much easier to avoid sugar and bread than it is to avoid ALL TASTY FOOD, PERIOD.
Obesity is one of the most extreme health concerns in North America, which itself is one of the highest risk factors not only in heart disease, but cancer, stroke, and numerous other maladies.
And the root cause of all this obesity is CARBS. Carbs that the food companies and heavily-bribed FDA keeps pushing on you like... well... a pusher.
It would take several thousand words to explain the science behind it, so... here you go. If you're the kind of person who genetically TENDS to put on weight, please watch this video.

Seriously. The typical foods I eat these days:
Chicken (all parts) fried in lard.
Buttered steak with bacon.
Pork side ribs.
Macadamia nuts and almonds.
Jalapeno Sausage.
Beef burger patties with lettuce instead of buns.
Large amounts of bacon with eggs.
Cheese.
And I'm losing weight.

A carb-controlled diet worked the best for me as well. I was permitted 30 to 45 mg of carbs for breakfast, 45 to 60 for lunch, and 60 to 75 mg for dinner. I was also permitted two 15 mg snacks, one in the morning around 10:00 am and another a couple hours after dinner. I could eat anything I wanted to, just don't exceed those carb limits. Obviously, some foods meant I ate less, while others I could eat more. I really should get back on that diet, but other medical issues make that problematic right now.
That's not healthy. Your body needs at least 100 g of carbs a day, otherwise your metabolism will start shutting down. That will actually make it even harder to lose the weight and you'll gain it back faster. You need a healthy metabolism to burn the sugar calories your body creates on its own. Staying under that number is actually rather difficult, considering a simple medium-sized apple has 15 g of carbs. (And I said mg in the prior post when I meant to say grams. Been dealing with too many medications lately. Heh!) Here's an online carb calculator that determines how many carbs you should be taking in each day for a specific need, including losing weight: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/calcarbs.htm
Uhhhm..... That may work for a bodybuilder's diet, but I'm not trying to gain freakish monster lumps. I'm trying to LOSE WEIGHT. And in all seriousness, carbs need to be kept to a very extreme minimum. Some of us are especially sensitive to them, and they cause us nothing but trouble. The whole point of this diet is to remain in ketosis for as long as possible. And eating more than 10g of carbs a day will take you right out of it. And it takes several days to get INTO ketosis again.
No, it's for losing weight as well. But what you need to be aware of is that a build-up of ketones in the blood can lead to ketoacidosis which can put you into a coma and kill you. If you're going to stay on this diet for a while, I suggest you get some ketone test strips from your pharmacist to monitor the build-up in your blood. (It's a urine test, in case you were wondering.) If it gets too high, back off a bit before problems start.
Well personally I think there is. Not "mwa ha ha, let's make everyone unhealthy because EVIL" but rather, a conspiracy to get a whole world addicted to foods that are cheap and easy to make in vast quantities. It's much easier to get lots of people to buy lots of cheap things than it is to get a few people to buy some outrageously expensive things.
It's all about the Washingtons, baby.

I suppose it does have its limits. Eventually the diet has to be combined with intermittent fasting to sort of "reset" your body's fat storage.
That said, 20 kg (44 pounds) is a LOT of weight to lose. We carry it around all the time, so we hardly even notice how heavy it actually is. But try carrying around a 40 pound dumbell with you, every single minute of every single day!

Very true, Decided to beat my body at it's own game once I stopped losing weight, and started working out, if I can't lose my chub I'll at least try to turn it into muscle.
Also it's probably just a coincidence, but I'd like to believe my suggestion of a low carb diet a few of your journals back played some role in your decision.

*cringes* I would hate to be your cardiologist...still if it's working for you. Yay! I think I felt my arteries shut, when I saw what you're nomming there. Like people on FB who put up those desserts that have almost 20k calories.
I'll stick with my current hellish way of weight loss, the poor man's lipo (made a work out routine based off of a MOBA I play. Called smite. Kills/deaths/assists= rep/cardio X 20 min per death/ number of sets for reps. So, I'm getting really good at the game, and it's always different. Since I have no idea the outcome of the match. I call it "Body by Smite"

Doctors don't know shit about most things. One day they'll tell you something's bad for you, the next they'll tell you it's a miracle health food.
Even the specialists tend to be stubborn about the knowledge they grew up with, even when it's proven to be outdated.
Again though, this is a surprisingly effective weight loss diet. And contrary to what the name implies, it actually LOWERS cholesterol and improves blood pressure. And even better, it reduces all forms of inflammation, making my joints much less achey.

Well, at first I got the IDEA of it by doing one of those fad diets, endorsed by Suzanne Sommers. But I was a teenager then, and not all that disciplined. Also, I didn't understand the science behind it.
Then my mother, who has also struggled with weight loss, showed me this video, and it all made sense. I researched all the various terms Bob uses, and it all checks out.
Basically, it's kind of a last-resort diet when all other attempts have failed.
Some of us, who genetically TEND to get fat, are "insulin resistant." Which means that the sugars that are SUPPOSED to enter our muscles for energy, get eaten or rather STOLEN by the fat cells in our body, meaning we fatties have to eat much more than healthy people just to get enough energy to move about. Our bodies just keep storing excess energy, storing more and more that never gets used.
As Bob puts it, "Your fat belly is stealing your breakfast."
So, by completely cutting out ALL carbs (and sugars by extension), the body is forced to actually use up its fat stores for energy, since it's not getting any NEW sugars to use. And since this diet also allows protein, it doesn't feed off your muscle tissue like simple starvation.

Remember, there are very few reporters that are even barely competent when it comes to reporting science. This is still true when you restrict yourself to just looking at science reporters.

If it's working...fine, but maybe switch it up regularly?
Since it does sound like the unhealthiest thing next to eating cardboard and cottonwool with orangejuice.
Remember to mention that it may not work when laying out that dieat to somebody else, since not everybody has the same metabolism. (been eating whatever and not gaining weight for a decade....only converting muscle into fat due to not moving much. <.<°)

the amount of kneejerk resistance to this kind of dietary approach never fails to amuse me. Some sure do love their cozy "raised to believe" narratives.
I'm always open to ideas ...especially when they make a fair amount of sense on an evolutionary standpoint. Not to mention actual results backing it up quite well for a lot of folks who try it. 14 pounds in one month aint nothin' to sneeze at. Congrats on your progress so far!
My only concern is that this diet seems kind of expensive. Is it expensive compared to a usual carb/bread/sugar filled grocery list? I'd love to give it a try, but finances are always a challenge. >.> I wonder if there's a cost effective way to approach this.

Well, it CAN be expensive...... but the thing about this diet is that it prevents over-eating. If you fill up on meat and fat, you're actually SATISFIED, and your cravings for MORE MORE MORE are silenced. After a long period of no-carbs, which are MADE TO BE ADDICTIVE, your body actually learns to stop being so hungry all the time.
And not ALL of the items on this list are super expensive.
Steaks and ribs are expensive, so keep an eye on your flyers for sales. ALWAYS look for sales. Make a note of "regular" prices so you have an idea of how good the deal is.
Bacon and pork loin is less expensive, but eggs are dirt cheap. So you can have all the eggs you want.
And chicken is well-priced as well, especially if you get non-breast cuts of it, like drumsticks and thighs. Get some cheap chicken cuts with some lard (Not shortening, actual LARD), and you can fry up some delicious chicken, then baste it with garlic butter. A whole package of like, 25 drumsticks only costs about $10.
And again, most of your calories should come from FAT, moreso than protein. So the fattier the cuts of meat, the better. And probably cheaper too.
Also, you have to always check nutritional info for carb content. (Fiber does not affect this diet, so you can subtract the fiber from the "total" amount of carbs.)
Nearly ALL barbecue sauces are loaded with sugar, so I make my own with sugar-less ketchup, garlic, worcestershire sauce, and dry mustard.
Of course, it IS going to be more expensive than a carb/bread/sugar diet. But how much actual healthy nourishment do you expect to get from ramen noodles, frosted flakes and coke?

I just don't understand the appeal of lettuce. Then again, not much variety at my store
Did you know that the nervous system when activated uses glucose? It's shown to help blunt the affects of ego depletion
If the greedy soda manufacturers used that instead of cheap corn syrup, soda would be something more than pure junk food :P

So many people are all "you need to exercise more!" when that really doesn't help you loose weight at all.
I mean, sure it's good for your health. Gets the blood pumping, builds muscle, keeps your organs healthy. But as far as burning fat, it's actually really ineffective. Your body burns significantly more calories during its resting phase, and if you are looking to jog away excess pounds, you will often find yourself gaining weight instead.
The body is kind of dumb in this regard. Not only is muscle significantly heavier than fat, meaning the more muscle you build up, the more you end you weighing, but your body will actually start to power hoard everything you eat to save energy for your workouts! I have been working out like nuts and over the last year, I have actually GAINED 20 pounds. Thanks, body. So fucking helpful.
What DOES help, however, is reducing your caloric intake in the first place! Your body will munch away at your calories no matter what you are doing so you may as well give it a little less to work with. But in order to not be starving and crabby all the time, you need to be clever about what you eat. Less sugars (or at least better sugars), easy on the starches, and lean more to the protein-rich foods like chicken, fish, and eggs!
So while A delicious buttery steak covered in salty bacon goodness is probably none the gentler on your cholesterol, it's pretty damned good for your weight! (So long as you got good cuts that were more good meat and less drippy fats)
Now if only I could resist the siren call of chips and cheesecake... this fat-ass fox might be able to slim down a little!

if nobody considers gaining muscles as gaining weight, why are so many people discouraged off their exercise and diet regiments when they see the number on the scale ticking up?
If I'm guilty of nitpicking over definitions, you are just as guilty of thinking you know what other people are concerned about.
But hey what do I know? Enablers shouldn't be commenting on shit anyways. Just stirring up trouble, I am, so I'll leave again.

Did I not say repeatedly that this was a diet that LOWERS cholesterol and arterial plaque? My blood pressure has improved greatly, my body hurts less, I'm losing weight at a steady, healthy pace, I can bend over without grunting now, even the simple act of walking feels easier. Buuut, I'm sure to you, results have absolutely no meaning, if you're not using an outdated, ineffective, but "traditional" method of weight loss. Kind of like trying to cure a degenerative illness with prayer instead of medicine.
I'll just leave this here and stop trying to explain it to you.

honestly I don't know why people think dieting is "NEVER EAT THIS, ONLY EAT GRASS AND NUTS" sugar and carbs and fat and all that shit cant be just singled out as the one thing that makes you fat, its about CALORIES, which is the overall energy from all individual parts of a food you can absorb :U find out how many calories you need per day, eat slightly less than that, and unless the laws of thermodynamics conspire against you you should lose weight :Y
Actually, the laws of thermodynamics do not apply here.
When you're insulin resistant, your body is literally unable to allow sugar to enter your muscles for energy. Which is why overweight people tend to be far far hungrier than skinny people, to whom weight loss comes as naturally as breathing.
As I've explained several times, insulin resistance means your body is not using the energy you put in at an efficient rate, which means you have to eat double the amount just to get a "normal" amount of energy. Your fat cells are stealing your nutrients.
The ONLY way to lose weight in this case, is to force your body to eat its own fat, and to COMBINE it with intermittent fasting.

Seriously though, I wish you the best of luck. If it's working for you and isn't causing worse problems, go for it. I would caution you not to take your distrust of doctors too far though. My 78 year old Dad is a direct result of decades of "10 things your doctor doesn't want you to know" scare articles, and it's not a pretty picture. Please don't become that.
I'm glad that you're losing weight, but all that saturated fat and cholesterol is doing massive damage to your arteries and your heart. I know the struggle friend... I lost 80lbs in the past year and I know it's hard as hell to control what you eat.
I believe strongly that the only real way to get to a state of health (weight, metabolism and heart) is to eat a lot of fiber and vegetables, high quality low-fat protein and to stay under your max calorie intake for the day. And get at least 20 minutes of exercise every day.
Good luck man, and remember that nothing worth doing was ever easy, but you definitely can do it.

Trust me when I say that for some people, low-fat diets do the exact opposite.
As for the "massive damage to my heart and arteries," it's actually doing the exact opposite. On this diet, my blood pressure has greatly improved, and I am in considerably less pain from my joints. And it's a WEIGHT LOSS diet. If anything, my heart is getting stronger, because when you start to lose weight, the first fat cells to go are the ones clogging up your insides.

I did this diet once, and i did it for a coupe of weeks. but it really intensified my craving for carbs. A diet like this was a bit expensive to maintain without really knowing how to cook a variety of meats. I was in college at the time and there was no way that was gonna work out. So back to cheap carbs it was.
... Well, carbs as I said, are deliberately made to be addictive. But as you get used to this ketogenic diet, your cravings for them start to fade.
Occasionally (once every couple weeks or so) I allow myself a "carb indulgence day." And every time, I find that the carbs just make me feel worse. It's like going off of a bad drug. Once you're OFF the stuff, you feel better, and when you go back, you remember what you hated about it.
As for how to cook meats, there's LOADS of easy ways to prepare them. It's simply a matter of knowing what you can have, and what you LIKE out of what you can have.
One of these days, maybe I should make some illustrated recipes.

I certainly collasped long before my body got used to it.
As for illustrating cooking meats, i think doing illustrated guides are cool and helpful, but I think media were artists slip in helpful life tips about something they are familar with is probably the best way to go. Instead of doing just food illustrations, you can make it a small part of a comic or the like. There's a lot of media out there that throws down low-key helpful life tips in a way that doesn't seem forced, and that's what's most likely to reach a wider audience. People who want to learn how to cook now will look for it, but readers with no exposure at all to the subject would gain a lot more from a quick overview demonstrating that it isn't as hard as they might believe. I know people in their late 20s that don't know how to use a washer/dryer.
Cheers!

The science is very basic here, your body normally uses carbs for energy, so we naturally seek them out by instinct, but these days they're so easy to obtain we almost always overindulge and eat more than we have to. When you eat too many carbs your body can't burn all the energy so it converts whatever is left over into fats that get used in lean times (which almost never come these days.) You'd think not eating carbs at all would help lose weight, but then your body can go into starvation mode, if your stomach is empty all the time your body will react by slowing your metabolism and causing you to burn your fat reserves even slower. Of course, your body is a lot more willing to poop out extra fats you eat rather than storing all of them so I can totally see the logic behind a diet like this.
Of course in my case this is all academic, I've never really had to deal with weight problems so I just stick with good old fashioned portion control to make sure I don't fall into any pits.

I... well.
That's... a lot to take in. I can't say I'm one of particularly large weighted people (I'm up by 15 of 150 lbs, which is the weight I'd like to get back to), but I've been careful of what I've eaten recently in an attempt to take the pudge off. At the same time I also tried to cut on expenses on breakfast/lunch each day @ work, so I made the meal of yogurt for breakfast in lieu of cereal, peanut butter & banana on bread each day instead of those frozen foods like chicken sandwiches and Hot Pockets [which I actually ate a lot of when I worked @ Walmart, but back then I was pushing carts]. I figured if I got active more instead of staying behind a desk and eased off those things, I'd be able to work my way back down, but so far... that has not been going well, heh.
After watching that video and doing a bit of research on the diet in question, I could probably ease off the bread bit by bit, but I'd need to learn more about this sort of thing and create a suitable replacement for lunch.
