[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m 5’3” and feel I look great at 120. I’m currently 133.

If you only need to lose 10 lbs, please jump in and share tips. [/quote]

I lost 10.4 pounds in one week by following a self-designed One Meal A Day keto regimen that would be 
bat-shit crazy for anyone else to follow.

After eating all but tons of Pop Corners (corn meal, salt, vegetable oil. flat triangular dopamine traps for salty snack partisans) and my usual 1,000 calories a day in Starbucks,

I determined to eliminate added sugar and most carbs.

I started with 84 grams measured on a kitchen scale of organic active cultures no sugar added plain yogurt--only--and all the water I wanted for 24 hours.  Eaten straight out of the container, which was resting on the scale.

I set 18:03 as my "fast break time."  Reasoning included for half the time to my next meal I'd be asleep. Began to count the hours in short order.

I'm retired and live alone, so I'm not prey to the temptations of what other people do.

I had done keto/OMAD several times over the years, so I didn't experience the middle-of-the-night hunger pains I did when new to it.  One can and must push through those.

Following the above, I lost 2.4 pounds each the first two days.  Was vastly encouraged.

Third day, added twelve pecans.  One ingredient.  Good fat, a little protein, no added sugar, negligible carbs.

Drank 30 ml of a half and half.  And that's it.

A few days in, baked and ate some wild-caught salmon.  No sauce, no anything added.

For the time being, I don't care about "a balanced diet."  I don't care about electrolytes.

This morning I was 173.2, which was a little below the weight I have been for most of twenty years,

with the goal of getting down to 145 on five foot nine, which was my weight most of my adult life.

At around age 55 the metabolism slowed down, or maybe my eating habits got worse, but I slowly gained weight up to 175.  Since I was exercising regularly, and healthy, I noticed the weight gain but didn't care.

I'm dedicated to getting down to 145 by April 14th, to honor a departed relative whose discipline and humor always inspired me.

For the next three weeks I"m going to do whatever it takes to get there.  If some people want to dismiss it as
"starving oneself" I really don't care what they think.

You probably don't want to be as disciplined as I'm forcing myself to be.

Good luck to you.[/quote]
