To add my strictly anecdotal experience: I recently started to diet for the first time ever. Never really needed it, but getting older, I noticed my weight steadily increasing despite regular exercise and finally decided to change. I always skipped breakfast, but I became a bit more strict about timing and snacking at night in order to align with IF. Switched my diet to a lazy keto (basically adkins) diet - still don…

I’m down nearly 30lbs in 3 months through intermittent fasting. Here’s my M-F routine : 7am: weigh myself, text results to my father Breakfast: Nothing, but I drink a flat white just because I want to. Midday: large bowl of plain unsweetened Greek yoghurt (no additions, which is key - the addition of fruit or other things is what sets off my sugar-loving monkey brain to go seek more). This is low carb yet filling and…

> "You know how a workout 'hurts so good'? Learn to think that way about hunger/cravings. Consider it the same way you would consider a workout pain, as progress not punishment". Another way to look at it that I've found effective: think of food cravings as an adversarial agent. Your body is blackmailing you: if you give me food, I'll make this craving go away. Trick is, the food you're probably craving -- chips, sod…

Blackmail indeed, although it may be a different phenomena; consider: You need a laundry list of nutrients, and if your body is short of any one of them, it'll crave something that might have it. If it has it in insufficient density, it won't care that it needs to also get an extra 500 Kcal along for the ride - it needs to satisfy each item on the list. I've seen this behavior in both cats and people -- feed them bet…

Well done, 75 lbs (or 5 stone, 5 pounds in real money) is incredible.

Note for UK people: this is 5.35714 stone, or 5 stone and 2.27 kg.

This can work for people who don't really need a lot of weight loss. Obese people are too deeply conditioned, their brains are wired differently and their bodies probably not responding on the hormonal level the same way as yours. To them it's a bit like suggesting a drug addict to just enjoy the withdrawal crisis. According to this research: "a substantial fraction of obese individuals exhibit an imbalance between a…

Yeah but they hint at the reason > Certain foods, particularly those rich in sugars and fat, are potent rewards [23] that promote eating (even in the absence of an energetic requirement) If the subjects are used to carb- and sugar-heavy diet, the hormonal spikes will be very stressful on the body. They also mention fat-heavy foods, but I suspect they are referring to foods high on both fat+sugars, not a green salad w…
