Came back to India after a long vacation in US and Canada and I weighed myself. I weighed 196 pounds!
I was shocked! No wonder all the old trousers looked like a dream to me. New ones looked funny!!
I knew what exactly I had to do to get rid of the extra weight of 17-18 pounds. I started reading a book called "4 Hour Body" and started following Tim Ferris's diet plan which meant that I was required to eat only Beans and Vegetables 3 times a day (No carbs). I hated it initially but after a few attempts I started the diet around July 15 and lost 10 pounds quickly (so all the vacation weight was off). This diet plan allowed 1 day off where you could eat and drink whatever you pleased.
Meanwhile, I had started working out in the Gym which included running/jogging and weight training. This helped me a lot in boosting the metabolism.
It was hard for me not to party 2-3 times in a week. Which continued and that would take me back by 3 days of in weight loss program. But what the hell? We live to party, right?
The Carb-cycling or Ketogenic Cycling helped me gain muscle and lose fat along with the weight. I am able to wear my size 32 trousers now!
My effort will go on as I am going to run a 21 KM half marathon on Nov 27.
My new goal is to reduce my body fat percentage.

No lilyinlove! No farting at all! Soak your beans in water overnight and steam cook them. No farting whatsoever! Trust me!!0

@TMcBooty- Even I thought so initially that without Carbs it will be difficult. But only initially. Once you are over that bump-its easy smooth sail!0
