For breakfast I did have a "bar" and for lunch I am having grilled chicken with avocado and tomato and spinach (comes with bacon, I may cheat a bit there) on panini (guess still bread, but Rome was not built in day) I also ran about 1/2 mile this AM and walked another 1.5 again. Baby steps!

Keep making good bets you will earn money from sports betting (and other types of casino games and gambling as well). Follow a similar pattern of good steps and you will lose your gut quickly.
I'll let others judge if following the advice here is enough to earn an income on sports betting or lose a gut quickly.
at that level, the body needs to adapt. It shall run on ketones (the breakdown of fats). It has no choice. Nutritional ketosis-a ketogenic diet
1 gram of carb= 4 cal
20 gram * 4= 120 cal a day from carbs allowed. That's it.
at a 2500 cal daily intake that's basically 5% carbs. MASSIVE change here. Therefore the macro allocation would be something like; 65 % healthy fats 30 % protein 5 % carbs. Classically a ketogenic diet is about 10% daily calories from carbs
one can confirm they are in ketosis via ketostix. They are very cheap. There is an adjustment period as the body initially freaks out -- 'keto-flu' . Mental fog, diarrhea, cramps, nausea...However, it shall adapt. The breakdown of fats for energy is a NORMAL process. You're just forcing the body to run on it (ketones), as it no longer has a sufficient intake of carbs.
there is no more dispute as to the weight loss benefits of such an allocation of macros. In addition cardiovascular and cholesterol profile improve . Also decreases systemic inflammation (c-reactive protein). Don't be surprised if you find IMPROVED mental acuity.

clearly the above three links aren't from 'kook sites'.
on a ketogenic diet, electrolytes can go out of whack (sodium, mg, potassium). May need supplementation. Atkins diet must provide this in the food choices or as supplemts, dunno.
some people are genetically very 'carb sensitive'. For those, ketogenic diet may be for life.
Anecdotally, a very good friend lost 80 lbs on a ketogenic diet. Physically remarkable transformation. She said the initial start is very hard-but, after awhile, her hunger pangs disappeared. No cravings for sugar . I like to do ketogenic cycles. 3 mths or so. I find i 'feel' better while in ketosis. Less mental fog.
I see you are not a big fan of protein
So is your life that bad? So bad you hate sports gambling/investing (I use the word investing since you mentioned making it an income) you have 3,999 post on a sports gambling forum? And you have apperently issues with weight loss thoughts that you come in a weight loss thread ON previously mentioned sports gambling forum to be a prick?
huh..
what % of macros....give me links of evidence (pubmed)...is man cool with, say, 50% of macros coming from protein..... How does the body handle such......can we fufill nutritional requirements with said allocation...or will you need supplements......i`d like to read the science. To use a cookie cutter methodology , at what level is too much protein intake harmful to the body (kidneys)
thanks
It`s that time.....Let`s go throw up some iron.

[FONT="]The Diet: Occasional Starvation
I started drastically, as I do with everything. With diet and exercise, there's no dipping my toe in the water — I'm all the way in. Then I'm all the way out. I decided I was going to have two protein shakes and a very small dinner every day. I did that for eight weeks, then I switched to a strict 2,000-calorie-a-day diet. I lost 25 pounds that way. Then, for a while, I'd eat a piece of salmon daily for lunch. Now the idea of eating salmon is revolting to me.[/FONT]
My new thing — something I've been doing for a couple of years now, actually — is starving myself two days a week. People call it the 5:2 diet, but I've been doing it since before it had a name. On Monday and Thursday, I eat fewer than 500 calories a day, then I eat like a pig for the other five days. You "surprise" the body, keep it guessing. I got the idea from a BBC documentary about this Indian man who seemed about 138 years old, and said his secret was severe calorie restriction. Some people have a photo of Daniel Craig or Hugh Jackman pinned up on the fridge for inspiration. I have Gandhi.
On fasting days I'm pretty unpleasant to be around. I mostly just drink coffee and eat pickles endlessly. For "meals" I'll have some peanut butter and an apple, or the whites of hard-boiled eggs, or if I'm really hungry, a bowl of oatmeal. The rest of the week I'm a glutton — pizza and pasta and steak. It sounds hard, but you get used to it and learn you can get through it. It's helped me stay at 182 pounds. And it's made me appreciate the food that I do eat.
[FONT="]Exercise? No
The idea that you would not only exercise but that you would enjoy it is very difficult for me to understand. I just hate it. The only physical activity I enjoy is masturbating. I do have a treadmill desk in my office, and for a while I would walk on it while checking email and going through jokes. I haven't walked on it in probably four months. Now it's more of an upright dining table for me.[/FONT]
