Most of us know this, but I am hyper aware now that I have joined a new gym. It’s a HARD workout, and there are a few people in particular that I have noticed there that kick butt every workout, but still clearly struggle with obesity.
Today I got this nutrition guide from the gym. I am giggling reading things like “don’t skip meals, even! breakfast!” As I went there a few hours ago and am currently 26 hours fasted. 
Unfortunately, most gyms, meaning the ones who offer"Lifestyle Coaching" and other nutritional guidance, coach people on how to stay fat. That and stressing the necessity of continuing to come to the gym. My local YMCA that I work out at, has the most ignorant lifestyle coach (typical, really) when it comes to fat loss. She is very athletic, but still 20 lbs. overweight. No matter how much I explain the science, she’s locked into whatever little brainwashing course the Y provided to her so she could advise people. The fat people at my gym keep getting fatter and fatter.
Luckily I get no actually advice at the gym while there, just emails from corporate!
In the start of 2016 I lost about 60 pounds of weight. Then in April I started ramping up my running where eventually I was running two half-marathon long runs a week plus 8 to 10 milers for three days a week. I was logging close to 60 miles a week The more I ran, I figured the more I needed to eat. I started drinking fruit smoothies from Jamba Juice because they were “healthy”. One time after an 18-mile run, I was literally double fisting two large Jamba Juice smoothies! Well, my food and weight tracker showed that you can’t outrun eating like that.
I like this graph for one other reason besides the weight gain: my weight loss on keto is faster than exercising a ton with a low-fat diet.
