I am so impressed with you. at just shy of 50 my wheels are shaky. to play hockey at 63 is hugely impressive to me. I could not imagine. I will be happy to just continue going to the gym and doing my long walks.

I was at a party on Sunday and all these old puckers were there comparing their new hips, new knees, and new shoulders. We are all insane. But you get hooked on the adrenaline etc.

that said, my surgery was many moons ago. and I have a very intimate relationship with my old elliptical. I have spent many many hours on it as I was under the impression it was good. before I got back into weights, me and that little girl spent a lot of time together. I hope I am not wrong. but so far, it has done me well. I will definitely pay even closer attention though. thanks brother.

An elliptical can offer more back support than a treadmill in many cases, especially depending on your incline %.

Been doing Carnivore for the last year. Lost 60 pounds and have been at my target weight for 3 months now. Won't waste your time with all the details but I am feeling better than I ever have, sleeping great, have more energy and mental clarity, and all my vitals were on point at my last physical.

So I sort of look at things through that lens when I try different things. How we evolved. What exercises are better than others, diets etc. We obviously walked, and occasionally ran, and swam to some extent which one could say are our default movements. Hence sitting in chairs probably isn't, where squatting is. etc etc. My understand of the problem with the elliptical compared to walking, is that people twisted more on the elliptical. And repeated flexion and twisting of the spine can cause degeneration and pain. In other words, it's not a "natural" movement, hence some people have issues with it. I'm guessing lots of people it may not affect, but if one has a history of back issues, I guess I'd probably stick to walking. The whole point of both is really get the heart rate up, and work the muscles, and don't "pound" the knees. So personally I don't see any real advantage to an elliptical.

Really, yikes, I guess I could be wrong. All these years I seem to aggravate my back problems with that machine. And, now on the treadmill for many years I am still aggravating my back. I cannot quit as I mentally need the release every day. It keeps me sane some cardio every day and then weights every second day.

I have been like 80-90 percent keto for a while. I decide to do some calorie restriction and intermittent fasting to lose some fat. I need to up it a bit tho because I’m losing weight too quickly eating sausage/eggs/ and a ribeye everyday
Now I’m just doing 1 piece of fruit at my first meal to replenish a little glycogen so I don’t feel like I’m dying. I’ve never had so much energy from fruit haha …. |

I had a parachute malfunction two years ago that messed up my back and blew out my knee. But a few surgical tweaks and I was back at it last fall. Don’t let those skates get rusty! |

The big thing is to eliminate entirely alcohol, white carbs, sweets and all processed foods. The other thing is to get regular exercise, hopefully outdoors, up to an hour a day of brisk walking, biking, etc. Once that becomes routine, your wellbeing should improve. I have been doing it, but I am finding it's a slow process back to that blissful restorative sleep and waking up feeling great and energized. Hang in there you are on the right track.

Be kind to yourself, you have had a lot of things to address over the last year. Even badass fighter pilots get to be human. To your credit you haven’t curled up and crawled under a rock but you have decided you want to be on a different path. Thats where it starts. Body, Mind and Soul its always changing and sometimes challenging. Seek progress over perfection and celebrate the successes. 👍

Your body can still utilize fat for energy even with a small amount of carbs. Replenishing live glycogen with after fasting for 16+ hours will result in fat loss, hence ketosis. Your body will utilize what is available for energy and will utilize fats in the right situation. Your last statement is wrong, ketosis is simply the metabolic process of utilizing fat for energy, not a diet in itself.

People eating relatively low carb and doing intermittent fasting for 16 hours a day are probably cycling in and out of it as well.

Diet fads come and go. Mediterranean diet has the most extensive research and data to back it up. The benefits are not simply weight, but many health metrics and is more balanced in my eyes.
