Thanks!


My own well informed plan - clean protein like grilled lean meat, fish, yogurt, vegetables, no sugar, healthy fats like olive oil and almond butter.


I work the gym and exercise into my schedule - if anything I have to be careful not to do too much.

Absolutely sustainable for me. Had to shift to higher protein breakfast like omelette or fruit with Greek yogurt, but it has been very easy…I take more time to do meal planning….and track my macros, avoid mindless snacking. Never felt better…you can do it!

Hi OP here….I am 5’5” and do a full body workout with weights at gym 3 times a week. Then I do at least 3 days of cardio - running, biking, pickleball. Goal has been 500 calorie deficit daily.

That is great, op and you sound a lot more active than I am. I'm also 53, walk 4+ miles per day and have lost 20 lbs since early May, going from 167 to 147
I'm 5'7 so I'd like to get down to 135lbs but I think it's all gone a bit "plateau" and slower so don't expect the rest to come off so quickly.

OP here, thanks and hope this does encourage others! Yes lower carbs and more discipline to my exercise routine - 3 times per week each for cardio and weights.

Thank you for sharing. I’ve been thinking about lowing my carbs and increasing my proteins. Your post is very encouraging☺️

I am 53 and have lost 21 lbs since March (173 to 152) through low carb, focus on higher protein and stepped up exercise. I was already very active with weights at gym, run, biking, pickleball. I’m surprised at how much weight I’ve lost on a short 4.5 months by implementing more diet and exercise discipline. I guess I didn’t know I was overweight? By 21 lbs? Feeling much healthier and running faster by dropping lbs. why didn’t I do this sooner?
