But remember there is a big difference between slow and fast carbs and how it affects insuline levels and fat storage system.
This doesn't really matter that much in the end. Slower carbs just keep the insulin levels higher longer and the end result is pretty much the same. At the end of the day the amount of calories eaten minus calories spent is the thing that matters as far as losing or gaining weight.
I have recently changed my eating/living habits aswell. After being diagnosed with gout and seeing how my father has to eat a handful of different pills each day, I finally decided enough of this fucking shit!
I now exercise regularly every day atleast 75minutes, either walking, exercise bike or lift weights. I eat 2000Kcal per day divided into four 500Kcal meals. About 160-200g of protein per day, lot's of vegetables, berries and some fruits. I also take quite high dosages of Vitamin D and some other suplements as well. I weigh and calculate everything I put in my mouth, as it doesn't feel like work to me, but an enjoyable activity and no errors.
Breakfast is 75g oatmeal (dry weight) with 7g fat supplement (don't know the english name for that) 100g bluberries and 35g of protein powder (2/3 whey 1/3 casein)
Meal 2 0.5 liters of fat free milk, an apple, 200g of bluberries, banana and 35g of protein blended together + fat supplement
Meal 3 150g steak, 200g potatoes, 3 tomatoes, carrot, apple, paprika, cucumber, some fish oil.
Meal 4 500g of fat free quark, 250g frozen strawberries and a banana mixed. (excellent!!)
I do that with little variations each day and with the amount of exercise I do, I have lost about 1.5kg per week so far, coming down from 125kg to 110kg. I don't do cheat days anymore, atleast if I don't feel that my metabolism is slowing too much. Right now I feel great and very energetic. I wan't to get my weight down to about 85kg, which should be less than 10% bodyfat.
