Hello all. I currently work the graveyard shift and routinely work 60 hours a week, plus extra curricular stuff like school and family time. As a result, I sadly only sleep 4 hours a day. My schedule is 4 days on, 2 days off so I usually sleep for 7-8 hours on my two days off.
Over 2 years I have gone from 205 lbs to 227lbs. Granted, I have put on muscle but ideally I think I should be 200 lean. I’m 6 feet tall and have a muscular-fat build. Herein lies the problem.
I have tried everything- paleo, intermittent fasting, vegetarian. The problem is I often have hunger attacks and/or sweet cravings thereafter. CrossFit is too time consuming (2 hours for workout and recovery, cutting my sleep down to like 3 hours). Cardio doesn’t seem to do too much and I plateau when I do heavy weight lifting. I am worried that if I don’t lose this weight then my risk for disease will go up exponentially. I’m currently a year out from switching jobs (training to become a pilot) and would be devastated if I lost my career due to weight/medical issues. At this point I am also resigned to not being able to make any changes until it’s new career time.
Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much and god bless.
