[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also OP track your diet. Every bite. Do not taste test while cooking. Walk 7 miles a day 1-2x a week. Walking is just as good exercise as running! And better for your joints.

Peptides can also help.[/quote]

I’d rather be overweight than live like this.  [/quote]

I hear you, pp. I was you, even. But here's the thing: you eat the same few foods every month. It's really not a challenge to put them into a tracker (I like MyFitnessPal; there are others, many are free). Then you just copy entries and it tracks everything. A few weeks of carefully measuring and inputting and tracking and I realized that I was, in fact, eating way more than I thought. A serving of cottage cheese is easy to overestimate, but hard to fake on a gram scale. I also thought I was getting TONS of protein from the eggs and beans and nuts I was eating, but the reality was that my fat macros were running just as high, if not higher, and my fiber count wasn't where I needed it to be. It's easy to think you're doing these things right, and you may be surprised by how off your guesstimates are when you start aiming for actual facts about your food.

If you want to do the thing, you've gotta do the dang thing. Once you have it dialed in, it's not at all hard to continue.[/quote]
