“Dunch will more than fill you up so by dinner time...”
That would completely louse up happy hour so shove the “dunch” munch!
Nonsense.
Just eat less (calorie wise) than you used to any time you eat. And exercise a bit more. Worked well all thru the famines and torture and prison camps of history. Did you ever see a fat person for a very long during a time of famine?
No hormone changes will overcome no calories.
So no breakfast; just a mid-afternoon meal as a one meal a day routine?
Many swear by this and I have met lots of people who only eat once a day. Every one of them was thin. I guess they were able to turn off or ignore the hunger pangs somehow or just get used to them.
I have found myself having dinner at around 3:30 at times then not eating again till breakfast. If I’m awake in the middle of the night I get those hunger pangs; otherwise I’m good till breakfast which is usually not long after I wake up. Nothing big. Maybe just a fried egg with some kind of meat sandwich.
So PJ; have you been able to average the amount of weight lost per week yet?
PS: Keep on bowling. :) Swimming laps is good too if you have access to an indoor heated pool. I didn’t find exercise helped me lose weight directly (indirectly maybe) but it kept muscles toned (tone muscle burns more cals) and made me feel better in general which makes it worth it.
I find swimming to be excellent for older folks because it takes all the weight off joints that sometimes ache. The only downside is getting out of the pool. All of a sudden I feel like I weigh a ton for a few minutes. Good time to sit in the hot tub and/or sauna to wind down.
Granddad always said, if you want to live healthily to 80, never eat more than two meals per day.
If you’re going to snack, have meat, cheese or nuts or an apple, but nothing out of a bag or can.
That said, I believe there’s something to be said for a single, 1200 calorie salad. I often have an 800 calorie salad for lunch.
Dressed only with olive oil.
Above all, NEVER EAT SUGAR.
Never.
For me it would be the worst. I’d eat too much at the tail end of the day and probably get a stomach ache at night. I stay up too late and I’d be too hungry. I have a protein snack for “Dunch” and then I eat a healthy small dinner. And super dark chocolate in the evening.
My intermittent fasting if I do it at all is from 9-10 pm to 12 noon when I have my brunch.
This diet works very well. Mainly it retrains the liver to burn fat for energy once the body's blood sugar is used up after a number of hours between meals. People who become "shaky" after not eating for awhile, and those who are diabetics, should use caution and talk to their doctor before trying this diet plan.
After a week or two, at least in my case, my body began to easily transition from burning sugar to burning fat. I no longer get the shakes or a weak feeling when I haven't eaten in awhile.
Once you've mastered this, the next step is a 5 day fast of 600-800 daily calories. I did this (simulated) fast each month for two months and reached my target weight of less than 200 lbs. Now I can pretty much eat what I want and haven't gained the weight back.
Many have even reported blood chemistry returning to normal after several consecutive periods of fasting.
This is what is known as intermittent fasting.
Looks good, but what, for a retiree getting up at noon maybe?

thin does not mean healthy.
losing weight his way for many could lead to other problems if they are not careful to eat nutrints body needs. Hope peopel aren’t doing this for more than a week or few.
people should just be sensible not do extreme things because they are not a sustainable method without creating other problems.
Global warming my a$$. It’s been in the twenties all day in Colorado Springs.
Is this 1962? This sounds like something from 1962.
Mark for later
My wife decided she likes to eat no later than 3-3:30....I invariably need some evening “snacks” to make up for it...
