I'm not done my fat loss yet but I thought I would post up my successful journey so far to this point. I started my fat loss at 274 lbs on Feb 2 2018. Today I am 194 lbs and it's June 29 2018. This works out to an average loss of 3.8 lbs every week.

I have lost this fat while under full supervision of my Dr and a Dietician. I do not recommend anything here by posting this info. Every individual should only ever lose weight under strict supervision of professionals and fully research info on their own. I am posting this so folks can see and review my journey and results so far.

I get blood/urine lab tests every 2 months. All of my health markers have improved greatly. When I started I was pre diabetic, had high blood pressure and the early signs of a fatty liver. Currently I am not pre diabetic, I have perfect blood pressure and my lab results are showing no more signs of a fatty liver. My doctor and dietician have been amazed with the massive health improvements in such a short time as am I and my family.

I have been eating low carb combined with OMAD intermittent fasting. From the beginning till now my one meal eating window has been in a 30 min to 45 minute window. So 23.25 to 23.5 hrs of fast every day. During my fasting hours I have only taken in water, electrolyte powder (zero calories), pink salt, and black coffee. I have not skipped a day in these 147 days of eating this way. My daily carb intake varies from 10 grams up to 40 grams but I never do two 40 gram days in a row. If I eat as high as 40 grams one day I will drop it to 10 to 20 grams the following day. My macros daily run around 10% carbs/30% protein/60% fat give or take a few % here and there. Doing this I have stayed in full ketosis every day. Fully keto adapted. Testing with a blood ketone monitor.

I am not done with my goals yet. My goal is to get to around 14-15% body fat then to adjust my macro's/caloric intake if needed to gain lean mass to further my health improvements and body comp. I will cross that bridge when I get to it.

I have taken tons of pictures along the way so eventually I will update with more pictures but these ones give a good Idea where I started from and where I am today.

**Edited by myself to add the word "fat" that I forgot in my macro percentages.

    Great work! I also follow keto and IF (16/8) and I love it! I'm never hungry, and I could easily do OMAD as well. Its amazing how the body adapts.

    It's amazing how little hunger there is isn't it? I love it too. The only time I'm thinking of food now is cause I just love cooking and trying different recipes from around the world. Lot's of inspiration from cooks posting their recipes on youtube. It's pretty eye opening looking at types of foods and meals other people are eating from countries we don't think about or hear about too often. A lot of them actually eat very similar to keto/low carb and so many wonderful recipes are easily tweeked to fit into whatever macro's you are doing by adding or subtracting some ingredients. I am currently really into Caribbean and Thai food. A lot of great healthy foods/recipes from those countries that are so full of great spices and flavors using lot's of good proteins and fats.

    Ohhh *kitten* this is an AMAZZZZZZING transformation! I've considered OMAD since I'm really just not hungry. My concern is not getting enough calories since I'm already a healthy weight. Did you have any issues with eating enough?

    Btw, nice tricep pop :p

    Excellent question and thank you very much for the complements! :blush: Yes I do some days find it hard to get all my calories in so after I eat my complete meal I top up my calories with a protein shake and usually something high in fat and calorie dense like my home made sugar free (sugar substitute) chocolate, creamed nuts (mostly macadamia nut, vanilla cups, and/or heavy creams or double devon cream in coffee or homemade sugar free Mexican hot chocolate etc.. As i lost weight I have found it harder to eat the one meal so the addition of the other very calorie dense foods makes it much easier. Putting lots of butter on foods and mayo, etc also help. There's quite a few options out there for calorie dense foods that are very nutritious too. I eat a lot of avocado too
