Hello all just felt like sharing the start of my weight loss. I've still got a lot to go on and this is just the beginning. Due to stress problems and being in depression I started binge eating and eating whenever I felt sad or uncomfortable with anything which meant I was gorging down huge amounts of food.
What would be 3 meals for one guy was 1 meal for me and I still wouldn't be satisfied with how huge my appetite was and how bad I felt right after I finished eating. I went upto 130 kilos (286 pounds approx) luckily I'm sure to have little to no loose skin issues due to my fat being pretty even around my body rather than gathering in one place as confirmed by my doctor.
Due to my situation as a student with no money I couldn't do keto or afford the time to cook 3 meals a day all customised for me especially when there's food at home which is going against my diet but that's all I could manage. Turns out IF (intermittent fasting) turned out perfect for me and I immediately started dropping weight. Turns out I have a swift metabolism (which I didn't believe before) it's only the amount of garbage I ate each day which resulted in me gaining weight over time. Essentially I've noted I don't gain weight that easily but I lose it with not too much effort. I was super sizing myself by mowing down on food. Turns out I was on a calorie deficit by atleast a 1000 calories but the added fat, carbs, oils didn't help with weight loss.
Now on IF a month ago when I started I started eating small portions. Enough to keep my appetite fed but not too much that I'd go back to gorging on food again. For 3 days there was no progress until the 4th day I seemed to lose a kilo. I thought it was Meh and it was just fluctuating as people say and it'd go up again. I stuck to it because I hoped it was a result of IF.
Turns out I was correct. I check my weight weekly to see how it's going. I've hit plateaus and gained back weight a lot of times which put me down but IF allowed me to comfortably resist cravings and eat better and smaller.
Today I checked the scale and I'm at 107 kilos. I lost around 25 in around the time of 2 months of IF. I've also started cheat days where i don't eat unhealthy but I break my fast whenever I want so I don't lose weight increasingly rapidly as I've been advised due to weight loss being too rapid can be unhealthy but I need to get my doctors opinion on that too.
My portion size, cravings and weight have all dropped down and I couldn't be happier!
EDIT : (I meant 2 months not 1 month in the title. Typo in a hurry lol please ignore it)
