Welcome to Rice and Protein.
When I first started, I had no idea what I was doing. Calories, macros, protein, they all just sounded like gym jargon that had nothing to do with someone like me. I only knew one thing for sure: I was unhappy with where I'd ended up.
I was 128kg (about 282 lbs) at 183cm. I tried keto and gave up after two weeks. I tried just starving myself and lasted three days. Nothing stuck, because none of it made sense and none of it was something I could actually live with for the long haul. I love food too much to give it up forever, and I'm guessing you do too.
Eventually I figured out the basics, applied them consistently, and dropped all the way down to 86kg. No supplements. No extreme diets. No swearing off the food I love. Just understanding how food actually works and making smarter choices most of the time. These days I hold steady at a healthy 92kg without really thinking about it.
That's why I built this site. I wanted to put everything I wish I'd had when I started, in one place, explained simply, for free. If you're new to all this and feel lost, you're exactly who this is for.
I really do hope you find it useful. If you have questions or just want to say hi, drop me a message.
