We've started working out. Now it's time to research and start your diet.

You know you have too many pounds. It might be 5, or it might be 50.

Strength training isn't going to fix it. And here's a secret nobody will tell you: Cardio on its own won't fix it either.

This won't just be a fad. It's time for a lifestyle change.

Last week we were abstaining from alcohol. (Right? RIGHT?)

This week we focus on a new lifestyle.

I can personally attest that the /r/keto diet is a good long term diet that has allowed me to lose weight and keep it off. A lot of people recommend paleo.

You can muscle build on keto. I think the research shows that you can.

Today: Decide and begin your diet. Report back. Not every diet works for everybody, and everyone's needs are different. Part of becoming a man is learning to do your own research and planning for yourself. Discuss your diet ideas and questions on /r/becomeaman
