When my LTR ended in June, I hated what I saw in the mirror. It took me a bit, but I re-joined the gym in December, and have lost 40 pounds (18 kg). When I started the LTR, I was 40 pounds lighter, so I'm really just back where I was. I also learned to cook.

Before exercise: none
After exercise: 5 to 6 days a week. 30 minutes of high-intensity cardio and 60 minutes of weight training, typically rotating upper and lower body.
Before diet: mostly fast food. I also drank a lot of beer.
After diet:
Morning: 3-eggs omelette with fresh cooked vegetables.
Afternoon: Protein bar if I'm hungry before lunch. For lunch itself, I'll either have leftovers from dinner, or a protein bar dipped in high-protein yogurt (Oikos triple-zero).
*GYM*
Post-gym: Protein shake, including whey and creatine.
Evening: Meat, typically chicken, fish, or beef seared in a cast-iron skillet. Frozen vegetables (the steam in the bag kind). Once or twice a week I'll include a light starch, like plain brown rice or low-carb tortillas.
No alcohol, aside from maybe a single beer on a date. I no longer drink alone. Mostly just water and occasionally a diet soda. Any thoughts are welcome. I think my shoulders need more work.
Thanks.
