OP, you should think about some type of amphetamine. Try to find pills. Smoking meth is bad for your teeth and face.
I'm only slightly kidding.
honestly, every attempt I made at weight loss failed until I reconciled with the fact that it's OK to eat whatever I want to -- as long as I do so in moderation.
if I'm craving a bowl of ice cream, I'll have it... but I'll have a serving, not an entire carton.
And it sure didn't take you long to go completely off topic again, and turn a serious thread into an anti American troll. Way to go!
I'd comment on this, but I don't think I can do it sensitively. HAL9000 Powering down.
I'll grant you that I am a twit. but I do my best to be sensitive to certain things about people, If I can't I bow out.
I loved my nutritionist. she was the one who really beat it into my head about starting off with a healthy breakfast, emphasizing high-protein foods (because, at least in my case, protein fills me up faster and keeps me full longer than carbs), and tracking everything you eat.I didn't lose as much as you did (congrats BTW) but when I did it I changed EVERYTHING about what/how I ate. I did have to find something that worked for me and that took a bit of trial and error but once I found it I stuck to it and still maintain it to this day. Everything I ate was fast food. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were all bought at a drive through. Now I plan my breakfasts and dinners but I still allow myself to eat out at lunch (mostly due to my job) though I try to grab the lower fat/sodium items.
ANYWAY... that's why I brought up the suggestion that he seek out a professional. That's something I wish I would have done to begin with. It would have helped me get things going faster.
But really, I do believe that he's going to have to completely rethink what he eats.
if he eats 4000 calories/day in steak or 4000 calories/day in white rice, I'd guess his weight loss/gain would be equal.Stop eating processed carbs. You'll lose 100lbs in a year if you do that.
Hmmm I don't wanna sound like a dick, but most of the guys in that thread are still pretty fat :\ Some decent transformations but if you're looking for inspiration I'd go elsewhere.To the OP, I hope this link below will be a source of inspiration for you:

Actually, it can "sneak" up on you. If he was 225lbs three months ago, that would be different.I'm sorry to be insensitive, but how in the hell does someone get to be that fucking huge? It is not like it just sneaks up on you and you wake up one morning realizing you have put on a few pounds.

hopefully dont have to give up eating the foods i love
OP will be ready to commit to weight loss when he realizes good health supersedes guilty pleasures. The above sounds like a drug addict saying "hopefully when I stop being an addict I can still take drugs". Cause -> effect.
oh man i live on mt dew, 4-5 cans gets me through the day
maybe ill cut back to 2 and see if i ca n still stay awake...

on a side note, scallops are an awesome fast food alternative! you can take them from freezer to plate in about 5 minutes.
but they're easyCarbs aren't even that tasty. I'll eat tasty carbs like Fries, or Pizza... but seriously Rice, noodles, etc? Waste of my appetite.
that's a giant "if."
it's kinda hard to explain how hungry you can get when you're already used to consuming that many calories every day.
at least in my own experience, making a drastic cut like that would lead to a few days of feeling great about myself, followed by a few days of miserable hunger, ending in a binge after which any hope of dieting would be completely sabotaged mentally.
Cut back how much you eat but don't do it drastically quickly cause otherwise you will be miserable and will probably cheat.
