SuuT! I require your knowledge!

Alright, so I have returned home after not being able to find work in the frostbitten land of the North, and I have devoted myself to being active pretty much all day long. The fat man doesn't want to be fat anymore.

Here's the skinny (or the lack thereof!). I'm 5'11'', probably past 300 lbs by now, endomorphic pred. (according to you). Cro-Magnid build.

I currently do alternating jogging/walking in my woods for at least an hour and a half daily now, and I'm planning out my weightlifting routine again as we speak. I generally alternate between endurance and strength resistance training ever week, just to keep my muscles guessing.

What, in your opinion, is a good plan for someone of my build and current overweight condition? Also, any dietary tips?

Thanks.

First, I would recommend getting your head right: If you're not dedicated to the change from the outset, you will eventually fail. Realise that it is a change that you will be making not so as not to be "fat", but to be better. Realise also that it is a change that you will make for remainder of your life - that's the discipline.

This is a fundamental maxim: Your body is made in your sleep and in the kitchen; not in the weightroom or during cardio. - Sleep enough and well. Eat what you want your body to be and only enough to get there.
Dietary Specifics:
- Do not exceed 2,000 calories per day, even on cheat day.
- Eliminate all processed foods.
- Minimise breads and potatoes.
- Maximise green, leafy vegetables.
- No oil but olive oil.
- Lean meats
- 130 grams of protein per day (with 50 [or so] coming from whey protein isolate).
- No added sugar to anything: use Stevia as a sweetener.
- Eat yogurt once per day, preferably in the evening but not after 7:00.
- Eat nothing past 7:00 p.m.
- Your liver no longer functions properly so take 175 mg of silymarin milk thistle 3 times per day.
- Water is your best buddy: When you feel like you're starving, drink a full glass of water as cold as you can take it.
- Once a week, eat whatever you want; but do not exceed 3,000 calories.


Workout specifics:
Keep up with what you're doing and incorporate the dietary changes. Let's figure out what else to do after about a month.

I'm curious why you say my liver doesn't function properly anymore....

A lot of the stuff my mother cooks now is very similar to what is mentioned here... My father has Chronic Pancreatitis, and thus cannot eat a lot of fatty stuff anymore because of it.

Because you walk with an at least 42.0 BMI. It's a physiological imposibility for your liver to function properly relative to its purpose.

IAWTP. I would normally suggest ketosis but, at that weight, I would be wary of it potentially stressing your liver; as well, you could potentially lose enough weight so quickly that you develop gall stones.

Slow and steady.
