  • I do a lower fat version of keto (30-70 grams of fat/day; carbs at less than 20 grams) and have lost 87 pounds in 14 months. It's all about CICO in the end (calories in vs. calories out), but keto helps me with hunger (I am almost never hungry, even at an aggressive calorie deficit) and also with sugar cravings (which have…

  • I do IF 16:8. I started it about 4 months ago and have found it useful. I am never hungry until my eating window opens, and I find it simplifies my life a great deal. I have lost a total of 85 pounds over 14 months (though IF only for the last 4).

  • Me! I have lost 36 pounds through diet and exercise in the last 4 months, but even though I am exercising nearly every day, I can't sleep at night. SO tired. Getting about 4-5 hours of broken sleep a night.
