two Decembers ago I weighed 213 pounds.
I was 60. I am 5’ 9” tall.

I started intermittent fasting. Meaning after Sunday dinner I do not eat until Tuesday morning. Then back to normal.
Then again on Wednesday after dinner I do not eat again until Friday morning. The weekend I eat normally.

I dropped just below 200 pounds in the first month. Then eventually under 190. I have seen as low as 178. Although, my weight has stabilized in the 180-187 range. Eat like a pig and I can get back up to 189 real fast.

Today I was 180. I should be 179 or less tomorrow. I drink one black coffee and a liter of flavored water with an Ultima Electrolyte packet(zero sugar, zero calories).

Along with my weight loss my Cholesterol, blood sugar, triglycerides and all the other bad blood things are down.
I have dropped two belt holes. I am wearing 36” pants and may be able to get into 34” again soon. I was wearing 38”.

My wife is also doing it. It helps to have a partner.
This is the ONLY way I have been able to shed weight since I was 35. I hate going to the gym. I am active around the house. I downhill ski in the winter. I will be skiing tomorrow at this time.

I am NOT taking ANY drugs. No statins. No GLPs. No Blood Pressure meds. No poisons (except beer, rum, vodka, bourbon, gin, tequila, Lemonchello, champagne, red wine). FASTING IS EASY. All you have to do is stop eating. Nothing else.

I'm 82. I've been eating the "New Pyramid" all my life...whole milk,butter, meats, potato, daily salad, vegies, fish, clams, shrimp. No soda...no junk food.

All my food is home maid and I do a lot of freezing.

I binge occasionally...like Rice Krispies Treats this week.

I'm 5"3"...115 lbs....no meds...I'm very lucky.

Yes...when I binge, I have to fast a bit...and move more. It's not hard.

Two Words:P

“Lactobacillus Reuteri”

Write and thank me later.

Also, best to get a cheap yogurt machine (simple to use) and make your own reuteri yogurt.

Less fat, more muscle, better skin. If you’ve ever had a course of antibiotics, it wiped out your reuteri probiotic.
