Weight Loss

[workinit]

Hey All!,

I haven't been here for like 1.5 months and boy has thi splace grown, post everywhere and tryin to keep up lol.

Well as some of you know I went on my "weight loss journey" to try and figure out about this 15lbs lost will add half an inch. WebMD has it more about 35lbs for every inch. Well.....I have been dieting now, end of week 4 tomorrow so I will weigh myself back in but by the end of week 3 I had lost 28lbs *yay*.

I definately see a difference in the length of my penis when flaccid, especially with the first 20lbs. I am a turtler like most and even when I turtle it seems a little bigger, on top of it it seems that my junk has more room just from my thighs not being as big as well so its not as 'pushed forward' if you know what I mean. I haven't had a chance to really measure myself as I have been extremely stupid busy plus I Have flooding my house so I have been cleaning up and still waiting for them to tear down a whole bunch of stuff but anyways, a huge thing though is that after I noticed the intial gain it completely stopped.

I actually brougt this up to my doctor and got a great answer so I will share it. He said that abdominal fat in men is the first thing we notice when we begin to lose weight, hence the very sudden appearance in difference in penis length, but unfortunately for us, it is the very last thing to go. So as the rest of my body is begin to lose the fat (thighs like I mentioned before in hanging more), once the rest of me is all slim and tender, I will then begin to lose the abdominal fat, 'specially lower abdominal fat then really seeing the length in penis size....what did this do...motivated the hell out of me to lose these last 50 lbs as I'm already 30 down so I will definately keep you all posted.

I stopped PE'ing for the last 1.5 months just to stop and let it be by weight loss only but I think I"ll continue with at least jelqing and kegels to at lesat keep up a good EQ during the whole thing.

My diet is a tough one. Pretty much I have a low fat (93/7 meat I bought) cheeseburger for breakfast, for lunch I'll have like half a crab and for dinner I"ll have just a piece of sirloin steak or something. IN between I"ll just have a piece of cheese rolled up with a piece of ham or a couple pieces of salami or something, so pretty much very high protein diet. I do take a calcium multi vitamin to keep me nutritioned at least but the pounds are seriously just shedding off. I lost 18lbs in just the first week doing this eating 1000 calories and drinking 10 cups of water, its been 5 and 6 lbs for the last 2 weeks since then per week. I"m going to add in cardio by buying an elepictal next becuase not sure if some of you know, but doing abdominal excersize does not, unfortunately, get rid of abdominal fat, only cardio does this, these excersizes only make the appearance of the abdominal muscles more profound and easier to see.

Well thats up my update for now and will keep you all informed.

Oh and definately a difference in libido from this diet. Not having erections nearly as much, they don't seem as strong or as hard, semen level definately dropped as well. It's the true downside to this diet but thats why I'm going to begin jelqing again and I know it'll come back once I eat on a more balanced diet by adding in some vegetables and stuff.

Workinit: Great to hear about your diet loss success story. Keep up the great work.

So you've lost nearly 30 pounds. How much penis size would you say you've gained?

You're telling me!

I hate to be the bad giuy but you may be restricting your calories to much. unless your under 4'9" a 1000 calories is quite adequate for losing weight. The diet concept you have is great with lots of protein and water. I would add in some healthy fats as well and just a few carbs. Get those calories up to 1600 per day. What will happen if you don't is the weight you will lose will mostly be muscle. you will have sagging skin when you are done. And your set point will be so low that you will likely gain the weight back pronto. Also are you doing any kind of exercise?

 

[Yeap]

yea i would also most definetely recommend the 1500-1600 calorie mark with excercise. Excercise is always the key

 

[JonPop]

Good carbs: Cheese, Yogurt and fruit.

hey kingpole

Thanks for the concern but I think I'll be just fine. Since its more of an intense diet I actually go to the doctors once a week on this and I've been doing just fine. The protein is more to ensure that I don't lose muscle and lose fat. The point of the 1,000 calories a day is to enduce a more controlled based ketosis. By my body not taking in an glucose/sugar at all, it automatically begins to break down the stored fat I have in my body to feed my brain the glucose since the brain only consumes glucose. This is why I am losing the weight I have lost because its actual fat burn to feed the body the sugar it needs rather then me intaking any. I do have cheese and such. I pretty much eat chicken, sirloin steaks, sea food and cheeseburgers. I just would buy the meat, make the cheeseburgers, make 'em and just not have it with the bun. Same for the other things. And the doctor gives me a multi-vitamin shot once a week so that I'm not depriving myself of the nutrients that I may also need. Hence why its more of a controlled ketosis.

Also, if you do any research on ketosis, you'll read that I won't gain the weight back on pronto. One of the biggest reasons people continue to gain weight is there body switches from getting energy from stored fat and begins to take it only from foods being intaken, most of the time from over eating. Then the rest just gets stored if not used rather than the majority processed and disposed of. I am doing this to help switch around that process to both intaken foods and stored fat so that the weight doesn't just plump back on.

As for excersise, I do tons. That was the biggest thing, I do cardio, I do and teach Shaolin Kung fu and T'ai Chi yet I was unable to get myself below 280. I wasn't eating much and at one point even became a vegetarian for a year and my body seemed to just stop at that point. I was even doing modern dance and small amounts of jazz and hip hop. I just wasn't budging. So thats why I turned my diet more into a high protein and water based diet, the multi vitamin shot and continuing with my excersise and the weight seems to be just melting right off a lot easier.

I think most people refer to this diet as a "B-12" diet though I'm not taking any B-12. I just take a multi-vitamin shot and I just last week began taking a MIC shot so that the fat is broken up and easier to burn with my cardio. Since then I seem to be doing a good 5lbs a week.

On a more bio-chemistry based undestanding. Two strands of glucose together make the sugar we eat. Three is start and of course five is diabetes. The goal is to take the two strands together (stored fat) and just have my body break that down to the one strand of glucose to feed the brain. Controlled ketosis.

I really do appreciate the concern though

So you've lost nearly 30 pounds. How much penis size would you say you've gained?

I'd say the gain is just a little over a half an inch. I can see a ring more towards the base of my penis where the fat use to cover right on top of there. I'm guessing the end of the fat patch over the blatter. My real guess is that more of the gains on penis size to reach the 1 inch for every 35 lbs is going to come from the last 50 lbs I lose over the next couple months since the abdominal fat is the last thing to go. I get a feeling once that happens I will see a 1"+ gain just from that cause the thing I noticed the most was my thighs and the "love handles" that stick out the sides. Those are pretty much gone but still a lot of lower abdominal fat there for that tire hangin down.

That's great news. Keep us updated about those last 50 lbs. We'll be rooting for you (even if you insist on keeping the calorie count so low).

Im diabetic and my diet is aboutn 75% protein when i want to trim a little bit. However i stay around 1800-2000 calories per day. Have ytou been checked for diabetis or hypothyroid disease?
Will the caloric intake go up in stages as your body adapts to ketosis? Ketosis is dangerous for type 1 diabetes. (to much insulin and not enough glucose to take the insulin into the cells)
I thought of asking if you were on a doctor controlled program. IIt is not safe to lose more than 2 pounds per week un less supervised by a physisician and the weight has to come off to preserve life.

Yep did a full blood work before I began. No where near diabetes. Thyroid was just fine. Cholestoral was only 123. Checked my heart murmer but was very faint and nothing to worry about either. Did an EKG to see if my body would be fine doing a diet like this and also turned out that it was just fine. I was in tip top shape except for that fact that I was over-weight. He was really surprised actually for all those to be at fine levels, especially the cholestrol on a 300lb guy, but like I said, I did tons of activities and even ate like a vegetarian for a year and they were all organics and stuff and sh*t wouldn't shed off.

As for the caloric intake, yes it does. Once I am at more suitable number like 250 (was 305, am now 273 as of today), he wants me to add in a some veges and very little fruit, like 1 orange a day, 1 apple a day, 6 strawberries or 12 grapes or half a grapefruit. Veges of course more like broccolli, asparagus, all those dark green leafy ones. I add in veges even now from time to time, and sometimes even have a orange just cause I want to and live in sunny florida where I have an orange and lemon tree in my yard. I just get on the elliptical afterwards to just get rid of some of the sugar in it. I drink half a lemon squeezed into water in the mornings sometimes to. Drink a lot of water and definately love me tea ^_^. In replacement of any sugars I use Stevia.

Yes, rapid weightloss is concidered 1-2 pounds a week and I'm doing more like 5, but I don't think it necessarily makes it dangerous concidering I am completely supervised and go to Dr. Walton every Friday at 11:15AM lol.

I'm not to worried about sagging skin to be honest, I have some stretch marks on my belly which I remember for like a day or two got a little redder and now they seem smaller and not as visible so I definately think my body is breaking down the fat to get the glucose that it needs. But yeah eating just protein can be very dangerous, hence why Mr. Atkins died from his own diet but I am not doing this for 10 years or something. Hopefully I'll be done eating like this in the next 1-2 months once I hit my 245-250 and then add some veges and fruits.

Lol, why thank you! ^_^

stevia is good going to get some myself. Fruit actually helps use lose weight especially grapefruits and apples. For me i don't have much of a choice i have to eat low carb. Or pay the price in ill health.

Hi All,

Just wanted to update everybody. Well I've lost 85lbs now and yes I seen an increase in penis size but theres a few speculations I still have right now.

1. I have gained just a little over an inch since I've 85lbs. Now whats online is half an inch for ever 15 pounds and that should have put me at about an inch and a half and it has not, just an inch. Which is nice though cuase now I can say I'm just under 6" when before I was just under 4" which is sweet.

But after talking to the doctor and reading online, many know that more or less the last place men lost there fat is in the abdomen, while woman its the hips. With that said I still have some belly and some fat pad, I think that once i lost the last bit of weight and get a more tone stomach and lose the fat in this area, I'll see a huge increase in that half an inch for the 15lbs. I jsut think they took these measurements after the person had lost the weight they had intended.

When I first lost the 18 pounds in that week, I didn't see a difference in my penis size at all, but I was still 288 pounds from 306 but now I'm 225 and I do see a huge difference. Still 25 more pounds to go but I'm taking these last 25 more lightly and not as heavy as I did for the first 85 pounds so we'll see what happens once I'm 6'0" 200lbs.

I jog everyday and just watch what I eat at this point btw.

Damn I commend you on your efforts that's true dedication right there. What is this diet called I want to look into it and see if it is right for me

Well I more or less just started with an atkins. Just protein, nothing else at all for the first week, and then moved into a southbeach type diet. Exercised and ate right and the pounds shed off.

The main thing that did it was the first week of the atkins. It's not a healthy diet to do over several weeks so you start it off to give your body that huge jump start and then keep up with the southbeach for your nutrition.

85lbs is impressive , i always took CLA in April and may to help me cut up for the summer , i never had to lose much weight tho but i do think it helped , and my calories where always much higher then yours and i always try to eat every 2-3hours ... one of the trainers at my gym was telling me cardio in the morning will increase your matabilism for the rest of the day , im alittle skeptical about that tho

 

[kooljohn]

one of the trainers at my gym was telling me cardio in the morning will increase your matabilism for the rest of the day , im alittle skeptical about that tho

he's spot on.

Not only does it increase your metabolic rate for the day but if you do it before eating any food in the morning then your body will use fat as an energy source.

I shed about 45 pounds about 9 years ago in the space of 12-18 months doing intense cardio/excercise in the mornings & am now(at the age of 34) getting back into that as I need to shed about 30 pounds of fat.

But yeah,your trainer was spot on.Just try it and see

 

[shane_syndrome]

yea i will , right now im trying to gain weight lol , but come summer time ill be trying to get rid of all the fat

 

[shane_syndrome]

i would love to hear an update from workinit , if hes still around
