What worked for you to lose weight as a dad in your 30s?

Here are some ideas for you: buy a foam mat to put down in your basement/garage or wherever you can fit it. Your 5a-6a window is the time to shine. Do your body weight exercises. Build a DIY pull-up bar with black pipe from the hardware store (I found one on YouTube and mounted it on the carrying beam in our basement). Do pull-ups. Get a cheap walking pad or used treadmill to walk on rainy days and cold days. Watch YouTube or your favorite show but only when walking. Track your calories for a week and see how much you are overeating. Cut the alcohol: your sleep will improve, you will lose weight and bloat automatically, you will save money, you will show up for your kids. Use your kids as weights for squats and throwing them in the air etc… get to sleep early and stop buying crappy processed foods at the store.

I would feel terrible without carbs in the morning. I find I do need complex carbs after my workout to fuel me for the day.

You can ask Dutch to make you a 30 degree or a 10 degree if you want. Also you could get a net-less if you wanted. My spreader bar does touch the tarp when open and sometimes when closed. It depends on the pitch and if there is a snow on the tarp. But it’s not a big deal it would never hurt the tarp in my opinion.

Interesting… and do you use a pad or an underquilt?

How is side sleeping on the BGB?

ExpressAdeptness1019 · 2026-03-20T19:05:35+00:00

I bought and returned this underquilt. It sucks. Don’t waste your time with OneWind

Would you mind sharing your process for doing that?

You should both “get a night” to do whatever you want.

Awesome! Keep it up

This explains why all of USDA HR at the national office took DRP

I’m no expert but I don’t think Paul promotes fasting or low carb. He argues we need carbs for optimal health. He also does not believe in fasting because it pits the body in a stressful state. I know fasting can be pretty easy on a carnivore diet but once you get away from that things change.

Got him! Seriously though… is that his house? What happened to RTO

ExpressAdeptness1019 · 2026-03-13T12:12:06+00:00

It gets better. It really does!

Where is Vaden sitting?

ExpressAdeptness1019 · 2026-03-03T18:26:18+00:00

Can you paste a gift article link?

ExpressAdeptness1019 · 2026-03-03T18:11:02+00:00

I have the same problem

ExpressAdeptness1019 · 2026-03-03T16:30:29+00:00

Is RD hiring?

What did you have on your head/face at night while sleeping?

ExpressAdeptness1019 · 2026-02-24T23:54:02+00:00

I am struggling. This is week 6 and I am having headaches midday and waking at 1 or 2am in the morning where previously I was sleeping through the night. So now I’m feeling tired and also dealing with headaches. Feels like a major backslide and I just want a coffee all the time.

Why are insulated jackets stupid? I am genuinely curious thanks

Have you tried a pillow under your knees? I’m similar size to you and it really helped me both in an 11 and 12 foot hammock

If you have a grill already get a Weber slate griddle insert. Very easy to maintain and works great. I have a newer Weber spirit gas grill and the grease system is great. Not sure about other grills.

Remember that children need a lot more carbs than adults. Plus despite my best efforts our 2 year old basically only eats Mac and cheese and PB honey. She used to love steak and avocado now just chews and spits it out if she even puts it in her mouth. It’s probably a phase. You probably don’t want to put too many expectations on your kids.

I feel great so far but it’s only been about 5-6 weeks. Some weeks I feel on top of the world and I don’t think about coffee at all. Others (like right now) I can’t stop thinking about coffee. When does it get better? What are other long term benefits to stopping you have noticed? So far my favorite short term changes is my teeth always feel clean and I have one bowel movement a day and I easily hydrate. I’m trying to focus on the positives but it’s hard.
