"I kick started the competition by using a low carb approach similar to the first two weeks of an Atkins diet, basically limiting carbs to 30g per day. For me that equates to a couple of eggs with cheese in the AM, some beef jerky for lunch, and a salad with meat for dinner. The only snacking was in the form of low carb root beer floats. That lasted a couple weeks. Then I got sick. That was good for another 5 lbs. A week long backpacking trip did wonders for my metabolism and that got me through the middle portion of the contest. Week 7 and 8 were really difficult. I gained. The last two weeks, I finished with a protein diet."
"I have lost over 150 lbs in the last 10 years....gained about 140, usually 15 lbs. peak to trough. I am hoping that another team will pick up the mantle and start another competition so that I can use the extra motivation to lose the next 15 lbs before I gain the next 15 lbs."
Anybody up for another contest?"
