Might give that some thought... Thank you!0 -

You are SO CORRECT! I must say there have been some fabulous deals given all that has happened with the pandemic. Also - being able to not shop Big and Tall has saved tons of $. Happy shopping to you!0 -
Someone I know indicated they thought I was doing a “calorie restriction diet” so I thought I’d post a brief comment.
I don’t restrict calories as much as I “track” where calories come from etc. for meal prep to be sure I am eating healthy fats, moderate amounts of protein and low carbs (keeping insulin levels low). I eliminated almost all sugar / refined carbs from my diet and keep a focus on nutrition and satiation (that results in a natural reduction in calories consumed). In the past, calorie restriction alone has always meant short-term weight loss, but not long-term success.
Everything eaten since 5/13/2019 (16/8 Intermittent Fasting start date) consists of foods I like and knew I would continue to like after reaching my goal weight. I love to cook and use a food scale etc. along with MyFitnessPal app. – I enjoy doing it…it isn’t something that drives me crazy. Meal photos are sort of a visual diary for me.
Of course, intermittent fasting is not for everyone and people need to do what works for them as an individual.
