"You're not getting rid of me that easily."
If you don't...just keep in mind the concept of "Food Without Brakes." Many people have them. Then try to curb it.
btw, my Food Without Brakes is salty crunchy chips.
Could care less about sweets. And low and behold..I have a genome study that gives me a trait of salty snacks.

Been on intermittent fasting for 6 years. I have psoriasis. I’ve done 7 days water fast and it helps but it’s more of a stress induced condition from my experience.
IF works for me because I was a wrestler and used to not eating to cut weight. But there are a lot of studies out their that say IF doesn’t help lose weight more than eating less.
A true waterfast puts you in ketosis. That’s the real deal. IF fakes it and just makes you eat fewer calories.
Whatever works for anybody is good. Just don’t get insulin resistant.

My glucose is better and I have lost weight but I’m not eating anything differently in 4 hours than I used to eat in 3 meals.
I passed a stone, does that count?..................
Sounds like something experts would come up with.
I do it all the time and will confess that it is possible to still overeat before 3:00 pm.
It makes it easier to use Keto in conjunction with intermittent fasting. Keto helps kill the appetite.
No need to do anything differently in the UK now with their troubles and travails. Losing weight will come automatically with the empty shelves, hospitals filled with vaxxed Covids, mandates, quarantines, and useless government transportation meddling the resulting national starvation will bring.
All his life, he had a salad as an evening snack. No soda. No other snacks.
Actually, not eating much in the evening has always been the key to maintaining a healthy weight. Once upon a time, the mid-day meal was the big meal for most people. Evenings were for drinking and snacking.
This changed with the arrival of the modern 9-5 work schedule.
I go to Spain a lot and people there are pretty normal in their weight...even though they eat all day. The family meal used to be around 2:00 pm, and most people didn’t eat a lot at night. Lunch still begins around 1 or 2 pm in Spain, and can go to 3 or 4. (Used to be longer, but the EU complained.)
As for dinner: wine, beer, tapas - a healthy diet! The Spanish are nibblers.
When they go out to dinner in late-night places like Madrid, they may eat a lot...but actually plates are shared, and it’s only with the arrival of Americans and Brits that the concept of the big plated individual meal has appeared in Spain. (This is true in Italy as well.)
So overall, just eat big at mid-day, do some nibbling in the evening (but no pints of ice-cream!) and you’ll lose weight and probably sleep better too.
When I was in high school they asked if we wanted to sign up and get a foreign penpal. I got a girl from Scotland. Her first letter to me said that she had short brown hair, and brown eyes, and weighed 8 stones. I looked it up and figured that she weighed about 112 lbs, but I thought I’d impress her with my sense of humor. I asked her if those were small stones or big stones, and told her I weighed about half a boulder. Surprisingly enough, I never heard from her again.
This just sounds like the “16 hour fasting” routine with low carbs & sugar. Have one or two meals between an 8hr period rich in protein, healthy fats, and veggies. No snacks. It forces the body to burn fat, not sugar...and once you’re body is adjusted you don’t even feel hungry.
And sleeping from 4 PM to 6 AM?
a better general rule is, never eat after dark.
I have a sure fire 100% guaranteed way to lose weight. Consume less calories than you burn. Eat once a day, or 20 times a day — doesn’t matter. Follow the rule above and you’ll lose weight.
I've lost 40 pounds over the past two and a half years by limiting my calories to 1800 to 2000 calories a day along with 16-hour intermittent fasting.
I never did figure out what those Brits were talking about with those stones as a unit of measurement. I thought they were referring to a loaf of their bread.
Skipping dinner every day oughtta help. Not clever or particularly wise diet advice.
