    Congrats on loosing the weight, but that diet is not going to be sustainable in the long run.

    i hope you prove me wrong and come back in six months or a year and have lost even more. I have done the same over the years as have so many others the weight battle is a true see-saw until you make true lifestyle changes.

    When i stopped running the road and started kinda working for a living instead of just holding a steering wheel, i dropped over 100lbs. Have kept it off for over 8 years now.


    Best of luck with it, and like i said i hope you can keep it off and maintain that target weight.

    Thank you. Once I drop it to 175 then I can take some liberty. As long as I keep myself between 175 and 185 I'll be a happy man. But this year I'm not taking any liberty whatsoever. I'm going hard to burn the remaining 25 lbs. I got the momentum going and in these 7 months I have to do it.
    Even if I take some liberty with the diet then, intermittent fasting is not going out of my life. Intermittent fasting is what our bodies are designed for, it's the famine and feast deal. When our ancient body gets the feast it stores it as fat and expects a famine, but that famine never comes in this modern world. We are grazing all the time, crap is so easily accessible.

    I had/have so many calories in my fat reserves that I bet if I didn't eat any food after March 5th I would still be alive right now lol. Super weak but still alive. Fat people don't starve to death so easily.

    That's a self control issue, not a diet issue.

    You really missed the point. This comment was about intermittent fasting which is the ultimate self control. I said that my diet might change a bit but intermittent fasting is not going anywhere. Read it again.

    Sorry, you lost me at "potatoes are the villain".

    Portion control. That might be self control.

    I'm gonna go crush 400 grams of carbs now

    Have five tablespoons of hemp seeds instead. I feel so full this morning that I might extend my intermittent fasting till tomorrow morning. Hemp seeds and sardines show you what satiety is
