This is super dumb but I’ve always had a problem with binge eating and bored eating. I got this game back in November and really wanted to get Damascus so I put a lot of time into that. I also bought some small dumbells and would do simple exercises in between games. I finally got Damascus back in early February and a couple days after that I weighed in at 48 pounds lost. I don’t post on reddit a lot but I thought it would be nice to share

I started Keto last year, lost a bunch of weight and got back into the Healthy range.

I absolutely hate doing exercise, but knew it had to be done. So I bought some Dumbbells myself and started doing Rows, Curls, and shrugs after each Death. My Wife has said its absolutely shown a difference.

And to be absolutely honest, I did that for the last couple weeks of Season 1, after about a month... I actually look forward to the workout.

Im really excited to hear Im not the only one using this game to get back into fighting shape.

Congrats! I plan on doing the same thing now that I'm settled in a new location. Keto has been helping me drop a lot of weight but I feel like it's time to reintroduce casual weight lifting into the mix. Keep grinding!

Personal achievements like this are never dumb. Good job on that.

Try intermittent fasting instead of keto you can still eat all the foods you love to eat its just about staying in a caloric deficit and having a set period to eat ( I do a 4 hour period in the day where I eat and fast the rest of the day it actually suits our biology better because in old days before food became so available people would work or hunt all day for their food maybe they would have a small bite here and there but generally they would fast the majority of the day only consuming water and eat at period near the end of the day)

I technically intermittent fast every single day too. Most of my calories are also consumed within a four-hour window if not six.

Keto foods were already my favorite foods. (Breakfast and avocados? Yes please!) Cutting out sugars/carbohydrates was easier than expected.

As someone in healthcare and soon to have a nutrition certification, keto and fad diets are really not exactly what we would recommend... Eating a balanced diet and overall keeping a calorie deficit is just better overall for you. Specifically with keto, damage to your organs like your kidneys is possible. Carbs are good you and are you main source of energy. Only carbs to avoid are added sugars

I looked into the diet pretty hard and have had amazing results which have been recognized by my current healthcare professionals. I totally understand that this, along with so much else in life, could potentially damage anything and everything in my body if not kept in check.

Congrats on your soon-to-be certification.

Get some resistance bands and you’re good to go. Way cheaper and can do different weights.

That’s what I’ve been doing between every game.

Definitely have those already. I dig them for what they can let me achieve, but I definitely want at the very least a kettle bell to start.
