Question of the Day: Which is the most hair-raising South African mountain pass you've driven?
The 2018 Weight Loss Thread
- Thread starter faniebraai
- Start date
I've actually been overweight since I can remember, looking at photos I was a fat baby, I was overweight in grade 1, when I started judo in primary school I was lways in a weight class above my friends of the same age, in matric I was heavier than most other guys and of course as a student dop got added to the mix as well.
Combo of genes and circumstances I guess. As for genes most guys in my dad's family are slightly over weight, my grandfather and his father has been over weight, so is my dad. As for the circumstances, I was born with a visual impairment which degraded up to the point where I'm now classified as legally blind, so as a child I was never as active as others, I didn't really run around and ride a bicycle, I didn't play rugby and cricket etc.
Up to this day I'm not as active as I'm suppose to be which I know is also part of the weight problem.

I'm diabetic so the no/low carb and not so much fat does wonders for the sugar levels. But it changes from person to person.

Fat has zero glycemic impact

Nope, I have tested it, it does have an impact on my sugar levels. Like I said it differs from person to person.

how have you tested it?
He's diabetic so I'm guessing he tests it regularly throughout the day.

With a glucose meter and an app on the phone that uploads the data to CDE.
Oh and its over a 24 hour period with the only change between less fat and banting levels.

OK, so no real need for Fanie to track this, as I only want to lose about 3kg of fat.
- Age: 41
- Male/Female: Male
- Height: 1.67m
- Method of Weight loss: Portion control, sensible eating, relative to level of activity at gym or otherwise.
- Highest Weight Ever: 68kg (10 years ago)
- Weight at sign-up : 60.2kg
- Goal Weight: 57kg?
My main goal is to reduce body fat % to have my abs show, like a decent 4 or 6 pack, not just a slight outline as is the case currently. My weight could go up if i add muscle mass, but currently only gyming once or twice a week and it's not enough to add decent muscle mass.
