[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I only lost 10 pounds but went down THREE sizes by prioritizing:

1. Protein-Healthy Fat- Fiber at every single meal (aim for 120 grams of protein a day)
2. 12 hour fast every night. (so if i stop eating at 9, I don't eat until 9am the next day)
3. Weight Lifting 4-5 times per week for 20-30 min
4. Ditching cardio and instead prioritizing NEAT movement (i.e. walking, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, staying on my feet when I can etc)
5. 8+ hours of sleep no matter what - this has actually been the most challenging part...
6. Never drink alcohol two nights in a row- I aim for 3 nights a week.

I feel like I pretty much eat whatever I want but I have to say that I tend to crave healthier choices now. I have been living this way since 2019 and I don't even feel like its a plan anymore. Its just my lifestyle! Skin is better. Sex drive is better. I am 39 and I feel really comfy taking this way of living into my 40's. [/quote]

OP here: thanks for the detailed list!! I think I can follow this.  I started increasing my protein since posting last week, and using a macro tracker for this. I need to increase my fiber though. I also started IF last week, can get through 14 hours pretty easily. Have never heard of the NEAT movement, but I like it! I'm already one of those people that parks far away and takes the stairs whenever possible, sadly I have a desk job though.  I mentioned upthread that I do 2 rigorous 5 mile walks per week, can cut back to one. going to start lifting this week. I for sure need to improve my sleep hygiene - it's not great.  Alcohol is not an issue, I barely drink - maybe two glasses of wine a month. [/quote]
