Intermittent fasting works wonders. I rarely eat until 12 and shut the train down at 530 to 6. I always feel great This is a very healthy way to eat. I was a very healthy person earlier in my life. I know most of what to do to help myself. Unfortunately I have no self control when it comes to food.

If you think about hunter gathers they probably hit the road early looking for food. Maybe nibbling along the way. They didn't have a breakfast. Once darkness came they hunkered down for safety

Congrats on your weight loss. Sounds like you're on the right track. Just a few words of advice, drop the diet soda. That shit is poison. I was going to ask, why stop artificial sweetener in his coffee if he still consumes it in sodas. Lot more of it in those sodas than he would put in his coffee. There has been studies that show diet sodas increase your desire for other sweets and can cause weight gain. They are definitely bad for you health. Its part of the experimentation. I started chugging black coffee the day my rapid weight loss started. I also downed a liter of diet soda. For the first week I was fasting breakfast so anything that I could put in my stomach to help the hunger pains seemed good. And because that pattern worked, I’m sticking with it. I’m hungry right now. But I had a nice steak for dinner and a block of imported cheddar cheese (good cheeses have no carbs because the bacterias in the cheese eat all the sugars). I don’t need to eat anything else. But my body is begging for peanut butter and a glass of milk. So instead I downed some water and that settled my stomach down. During this period of apparently high metabolism I’m constantly hungry. Previously I would have satisfied these hunger pains with any number of reduced carb options. Now I just sit hungry between meals. Right now this sort of weight loss is sacrificial. It has to be. I have a long way to go to get to where I want to be. It seems though that once there, I can satisfy those craving with low carb options and I won’t gain. So that should make it more of a lifestyle. Until a few weeks ago, I satisfied every craving I had and I was still losing, just slowly. It didn’t feel like a diet. It was just a change in what I ate. And I don’t miss the fast good or the processed bread. I was even able to eat some slices of fresh pizza one day a week or alternatively have a fresh potato. Now I’m dieting. I’m doing to myself what I did to my hound to shape her up. Small portions. Hunger in between. Its seems to be the only way I can not put in more than I’m burning a day.

Hard alcohol can also help you lose weight. The calories in liquor is not fat, carbs or proteins your body can use. 1 gram protein= 4 calories 1 gram carb = 4 calories 1 gram fat = 9 calories 1 gram alcohol= 7 calories Alcohol is "empty calories".

Try keeping a food diary with an app and see your percentages and calories for each day. It does help. I also find weighing daily is a waste, Water retention can vary your weight by 2%. I weigh once a week first thing in the morning. I did Atkins back in my 20s for a while and it will work. These days I want a more balanced approached. Be sure to take a daily vitamin.

Now I eat a good breakfast, drink a V8 for lunch and eat a smaller dinner. I bike ride 3 to 5 miles first thing in the morning. Early hunters likely ate carbs like fruits before heading on a hunt for energy and then the meat after the kill.

Diets won't work.
A nutritional plan that you CAN and WILL adhere to is the best option.
try the 80/20 diet. 80% plant based ... 20% animal based ...
If you opt for vegan junk food—or totally overdo it on simple carbs instead of complex carbs like potatoes and brown rice—you could gain weight. Make balanced, healthy choices, and you could see weight loss

If you opt for vegan junk food—or totally overdo it on simple carbs instead of complex carbs like potatoes and brown rice—you could gain weight. Make balanced, healthy choices, and you could see weight loss That's what I am doing. I am 50% carbs from vegetables and fruits, 20% proteins from fish, chicken, eggs and a little red meat, and 30% fats. It is working for me and now it is just how I eat and there is no dieting. As I said above, I have done 100s of diets. they all fail eventually and you gain back weight. Most of us eat out of habit and not the need for nutrition. Changing the habit takes time.

6 feet tall and 190 lbs. here.
I exercise 5 days a week when I can and find I can eat pretty much whatever eat I want if I just do not stop exercising.
I only eat dinner twice a week (on the weekends). During the week my last daily meal is around 1 PM.
I do over 2K sit-ups / crunches during the week too.
What ab machine did you buy?
I need a new one. You should invest in a exercise ball, I use that a lot.

I do 50 leg lifts with a 5 second hold, side leg lifts 5 second hold, planks, chicken wings with exercise band, reverse chicken wing with ball, pelvic thrusts, squats, sitting march leg lift, and a few others. Most have a 5 second hold.

Before Covid, I was at the gym three days a week doing circuit training with a trainer. By the end of the session, I was gassed. Covid shut the gym and I went nuts, eating whatever I wanted, and I am a pizza aholic. Weight shot up to 280. I'm ready to get back in shape for a 73-year-old man.
