Hey all! I’m new to the group but wanted to share my success and how I achieved my weight and health goals over 18 months.
First, and this is probably the most important step for me, was learning to love myself and speak to myself kindly. I knew I had to get my weight under control for my health and changing my mindset to focus on health vs vanity played a big part in my success.
Because of endometriosis, I have major food sensitivities including sugar and grains. I decided to try a clean keto diet to help with inflammation and weight loss. This was the magic ticket for me. I basically ate large salads with meat, veggies and healthier fats. The salad was so big it filled me up and helped me with the next part of my plan which was fasting. Because I had a history with binge eating, having one ridiculously large salad helped me stay on track.
Fasting was also a game changer. I incorporated a OMAD schedule which worked well for me. I’d eat my one large salad a day in a one hour eating window after 23 hrs of fasting. I’d also do a weekly 48 hr water fast which helped with energy levels, mood and ultimately loose skin.
I had a big 50 lbs loss in the first 5 months, and it took another 7 months to lose the last 30 lbs. I eventually moved into two meals a day some days, fasting others and OMAD a couple days a week. Shaking up the eating schedule helped me get there.
I incorporated fitness into my routine January 2021 which helped me tone more but I did this more for mental health and well being.
Now I’m a little bit more flexible with eating but stick to mostly lower carb foods and have been maintaining my loss for last 6 months.
I highly recommend The Obesity Code by Dr Fung and an excellent blue print in how to implement a low carb diet with fasting.
