    Wow that’s amazing progress. PLEASE share what worked for you?

    I started at 183 lbs on 22/8/23 and am currently 172 lbs by IF only. I could really do with some advice on how you dropped the weight so fast!

    A few things I have changed up.
    Eliminated my daily alcohol consumption habit because it had zero positive benefits and numerous negative side effects, mainly useless unnecessary calories.

    I got strict with my calorie intake. Currently at 1500calories per day. I eliminated all processed foods as I find they don't fill me up.

    I walk 5k daily and strength train 3x per week.

    Thats about it and not only have I dropped the pounds I feel amazing and full of energy.

    Cheers!

    Wow that’s awesome! I have also cut out processed food with the exception of bread every one in a while, big change from my previous way of eating which was very processed and carby.

    I think I definitely need to start some strength exercises. Maybe start off with some home workouts.

    Thanks for the update 😊
