Great job on the weight loss and running time. I have the most success when I eat small meals multiple times a day rather than a couple large meals all at once. You are rarely hungry so you eat fewer calories per day. I eat one piece of toast with pb and jelly in the morning. I then eat every couple hours the rest of the day. I might have a small sandwich or a small entrée. I usually shoot for a couple hundred calories each meal. The meal before I run, I will double that so I have plenty of energy. I probably burn 2500 calories a day. If I want to lose a few lbs to get to racing weight, I cut back to 2000 and lose a lb a week. I try to never get 5 lbs over race weight though.

If you eat fat you gain fat.

Yups....i cut out my beer habits then like magic weight fell off. I run about 45mpw and lost 20lbs since the beginning of the year without any effort. All i did was not eat garbage food and just kept running.

So you changed your diet and gave up drinking. That's not really "magic" and can be tough for a lot of people. Good job, but if it was that easy for everyone there would be no fatties.

Take it easy. Don't drink wine or beer, and take wheat out of your diet. Eat fat that comes from meat, avoid all vegetable oils, and fry only with coconut oil. We did not evolve with anything in a box. Do not eat anything in a box, and don't freak out. Some people have bigger builds and were meant to be (at the extreme) weightlifters or shot putters, and others were meant to be deer. Deer would be eaten if they werent fast, weightlifters dont have to run because they are the big dogs in the park and do the eating. Dont worry, just have fun. Grass is always greener on the other side of the side but if your were thin you'd be watching the bigger stronger guys with all the girls. Usain Bolt has all the women, he's not thin, and doesnt have to run too far. He's got it all.

I agree! To lean out eat like a Kenyan - Mostly high carb vegan. You can eat meat occassionaly but try to stick with 70% carbohydrate from plant sources like rice, potatoes, oats, starch vegetables, beans and fruit.
