Nothing as easy for me as intermittent fasting. According to Johns Hopkins University,

“There are several different ways to do intermittent fasting, but they are all based on choosing regular time periods to eat and fast. For instance, you might try eating only during an eight-hour period each day and fast for the remainder. “

I do that quite naturally. Rarely hungry, I eat breakfast late, noon sometimes, and eat dinner about seven. . Never have lunch except about twice a month when I go out for lunch with friends. . And I weigh 116 with clothes on.

My secret? I hate to cook. Avoid fat and salt. Don’t eat wheat. Buy organic.
My dad was in the restaurant business and advised: “Buy the best food you can afford and do as little as possible to it.” I don’t have “recipes”. Steam potatoes and veggies, and have chicken,, or salmon, or tofu sautéed with mushrooms for dinner.. Beef maybe once every two weeks. That’s dinner. Nonfat yogurt with fruit for dessert.

At 87, I’m really healthy except osteoporosis has set in. Broke one knee last year, other ankle this year, so exercise isn’t happening. Worrisome.

Besides despising tofu and yogurt, your diet sounds good.

I’ve lost 16 pounds in 12 weeks on the 5:2 fasting regimen.

This works for me.
