A few days ago I went past the interim body-weight goal of 220lbs set by my Doc. I'm down fifty pounds now to 214lbs.  The practice to get to this point has not changed. I do a 16:8 intermittent fast (Stop eating at 6:00PM and resume eating at 10:00AM). Carbohydrate intake is limited to 50g per day. No sugar. No refined foods. No alcohol. Exercise every day - stationary bike and (recently) weight bearing exercises.  It's been mostly not-too-hard. The biggest adjustments were skipping breakfast and not snacking my way through the evening.    The Ravenous Eater is always with me though - sometimes whispering - sometimes screaming - for more more more more more moremoremoremoremoremoremore... This is not a complaint but - no matter how slender I get - he will always be with me  - making sure I understand that I will never (ever) be like the virtuous slenders who swan through their lives "eating a sensible diet.." He is playing the long game..         ~
