In this episode, John gives an account of his weight loss journey from ~423lbs to ~227lbs.
This episodes answers some common questions John gets asked:
- Did you lose weight the way you teach others to? (Hint: no)
- How long did it take you to lose the weight?
- How many calories per day did you eat to lose weight?
- How did you exercise to lose the weight?
- Did you ever have "cheats"?
The story falls into three or four periods:
- Phase 1 - Fall 2018 - the first 40 lbs and the stall at 380lbs
- Phase 2 - Spring 2019 - Getting serious. Adopting the 6/1 strategy and rigid workout plan
- The emergency surgery in Fall 2019 and recovery
- Phase 3 - Early 2020 - Getting from 300 to below goal weight despite pandemic restrictions.
Other points of interest:
- How I flowed with quarantine in order to benefit my weight loss goals.
- What exactly I did to keep strength training and getting cardio without the use of a gym.
- The ten weeks in which I tried not to weight myself once.
- And of course, the time I accidentally mocked an amputee to her face as we entered a Target. Eesh.
Discussion and Evaluation of my Tactics and Strategy at the time. Pros and cons of:
- Using what I call the "6/1" method
- Planned "cheat days"
- Adopting a rigid workout plan
- Eating the same foods every day
- Not counting calories
- Using the scale but not taking a running average
- Balancing exercise and caloric/nutrient needs while in a deficit (on a diet)
- Flexible dieting (why it would've been a bad idea for me)
