Pasta (DeCecco) with organic minced meat (lean) and organic bolognese. It tasted very good, but that's it for pasta this week!

The rest of the week I'm eating rice/potatoes/salad/chicken and turkey ^^ I'm now in the 3rd month of this dietary change and about 3-4 weeks into the intermittent fasting program. Sugar is avoided. No mayo, no greasy things... nothing. I went out to eat on Saturday (Mexican) and only got myself an "Ensalada de Pollo". I had a few beers and a few shots But no coke or anything like that! My goal is to adapt my diet not just for 7-12 months, but in the long term so that I rarely eat anything unhealthy like that.

And you think that's healthy, I eat and drink exactly the opposite and am perfectly healthy.

A nice side effect of this change in diet is that occasional outliers are not penalized at all on the scales. They just have to remain exceptions, unless you do so much sport/exercise that a diet isn't even necessary. I think that's the case with Gagapapamama because he works so much physically every day that he can probably eat what he wants without putting on weight Of course, I think a diet low in fat and sugar is healthy. But sometimes you just need it. I have a colleague who is also doing this intermittent fasting. I can't necessarily say that it's good for her. She looks kind of ill since then and has developed a rash on her face. Anyway, I think it's great that you've been doing the program for so long.

As Saphira slightly touched on, you can't make a general comparison. It depends on lifestyle (including work) and genes also play an important role. But what I can tell you in general is that constant consumption of sweet drinks or fatty foods can lead to problems. Blood values that are too high (sugar levels, high blood pressure) or other problems can occur (such as heart problems or other illnesses in general). Since losing weight, I have also noticed that I am more physically active and generally in better shape.

About myself: I am 1.70cm tall (which is normal for Italians! ) and have an office job that I can do from home 100% of the time (I'll leave out exceptions like meetings etc. where I have to be present, as these are really rare). So I don't get much exercise at work. In my private life, I don't get much exercise either. I've always been a bit lazy, but that doesn't mean I've always been fat. Being overweight was ultimately the result of depression, poor nutrition and indifference.

Diet:
I never ate a lot, but I always liked to eat unhealthy food (fast food). Generally about 2 times a week. Plus 1-2 pizzas - depending on whether I went to fast food 1 or 2 times. The rest of the week I ate normal pasta. As I'm the type of person who doesn't mind eating the same thing all the time, I almost always ate the same pasta. Pasta with butter or with tuna. I haven't drunk cola and co. so excessively for years. On average, usually about 0.4 liters a day, otherwise just water. Every Sunday I had schnitzel. As you can see, very monotonous, high in fat and unhealthy. I am also a person who gains weight easily if I don't look after myself. Some people can eat as much as they want and simply don't put on weight.

Depression and indifference:
I won't really go into this, but I let myself go for various reasons. I didn't care about anything. It got really extreme from 2017 onwards, before that I was "slightly overweight". Weighed mostly 85-90kg, until recently my maximum was almost 110kg. So it wasn't that extreme, but it wasn't healthy either. Until recently, I had no reason to change my diet.

I didn't study and/or learn nutritional science, so I can only share my experience with you. I've lost a lot of weight since I started doing this. My shoulders have also become smaller. As already mentioned, I also feel fitter and I am generally amazed at how easy it was and still is to give up cola etc. I would do this sooner? Would I do it sooner? Definitely! I regret a little not having started earlier.

Right, I'm currently a bit more radical and therefore only allow myself fast food once a month. I can't say whether it changes my weight because I don't weigh myself yet. I did at the beginning. After 3 weeks I still weighed the same, although I had already lost fat (face). Even if you do a lot of sport, I think this is harmful in the long term (blood values etc.). I also eat fat from time to time. Yesterday, for example, I ate half a portion of mozzarella with my salad. Today there was no mozzarella It's a shame that your colleague has such problems. I don't know if she is also on a diet. Many people actually say that you can eat as much as you want in the 8 hours. But I'm not doing that at the moment. I'm always in a calorie deficit. I don't count the calories, but if I had to estimate, I'm max. 1300 Kcal per day. That's enough for me. I don't want to do it too quickly either. I'm taking the time I need. Thank you, support helps, of course, not to give up, but I also look at myself in the mirror and I can see exactly how much belly has already disappeared, which gives me a motivational boost. I'm also not alone in the boat. That was also the deciding factor for my whole changeover and I think that's also a game changer.

Of course, if you sit a lot at work and tend to eat fast food over the years to compensate, you will quickly become a candidate for cardiovascular disease, diabetes or obesity in general. All the better to counteract this early on. You're doing it just right and at a good pace. I'm sure you'll reach your goal. Your colleague is also dieting, and very radically at that. That's probably why she looks so bad.

Today we're having yesterday's kale again. It tastes even better warmed up, of course.

If the injection was available over the counter and didn't require a prescription, I would have tried it myself to see if it really does what you've heard about it. It is supposed to ensure that you can continue to eat normally, but no longer manage to eat the portions that you usually do. This might make your colleague suffer less on her radical diet.

It's a bit of a relief to read that I'm currently doing it right. The best guide is your own body. I now believe that it really is individual. For some, method X is best and for others method Y or Z. But there are a few golden rules that you have to follow with every method: you simply have to eat a balanced diet and gain slightly less calories than your body consumes. This changes over the course of a diet and you usually have to do some exercise. I try to eat the same thing a maximum of twice a week. This means I have access to 3 dishes that I always like, which makes my diet so much easier. potatoes 2 times a week, wholemeal pasta 2 times a week and rice 2 times a week.

You don't have to do so much sport either. It's really enough to go for a 20-minute walk every day. I had a colleague at work who went jogging several times a week. After climbing the stairs, she was just as out of breath as I was

It's curious that she was actually a rather delicate person for years. Super petite. Suddenly she got really fat. Within a few weeks. And now she wants to get rid of it with brute force. But she also conjures up the most beautiful baked goods on the side and sells them at festivals. Apparently, she has now eaten too many of them herself. I've also heard of this "magic syringe". I would be rather cautious.
