I eat no breakfast or lunch, only water or G2 Low calorie Gatorade. If I do chose to eat something, it's one can of tuna with very little mayo for lunch (no bread).
I watch a movie while walking 80 minutes on my inclined treadmill. 80 minutes equals 400 calories. At the completion of the 80 minutes, I am -400 calories in the red. If my dinner consists of 800 calories, minus the treadmill -400, that equals 400 calories consumed for the day.
If the movie is good like 'Let's be Cops', I will remain on the treadmill for the entire movie. 'Nightstalker' was another great flick that kept me on the treadmill beyond the 80 minutes.
My motivation? I've become a fat slob of maybe 30 pounds overweight. Everything I wear is now is sweatsuit elastic. I can not remember the last time I wore a pair of jeans. My knees and ankles have become sore and achy.
The disadvantages? I've done this before and lost 25 pounds. My friends thought I was on drugs being the dark circles under and around my eyes. My face was sunk in which brought out more of my facial wrinkles. I had unlimited energy but looked like shit. Eventually I gained all the weight back plus an additional 10 pounds.
