I'm having the best success I've had since playing basketball everyday as a teenager.

All I'm doing is basing my default diet on high fiber cereal, with berries and strawberry whey infused water and attempting a 48 hour fast every other weekend. And I'm not bringing any foods with binge potential in the house. Like I can't even buy a full loaf of bread yet.

It works for me because I can eat the same foods all day every day without getting bored.

Down 10lbs in a month, which is probably too quick.

Making fat loss into a math problem is the truth. But making it into a math problem has wide latitude.
I don’t think 10 lbs is too quick. That beginning weight is easiest to lose because of the calorie deficit you’re creating. Imagine going from 28k kcal/wk (4,000 calories a day) a week to 12,600 kcals a week (1800 calories a day). That’s a loss of almost 8 pounds in a week. And it is not hard to eat. Over 4000 calories a day with how calorically dense some foods are. 1 sausage biscuit from McDonald is 440 calories. Add the hash brown and that’s another 147 calories. Add a Sweet Tea that’s 280 calories. I would eat 2 sausage biscuits, 2 has browns, and a sweet tea. That’s almost 1500 calories and that’s before the clock struck 9am. Imagine what you’d eat at 1pm and then 6pm, and snacks in between. Once you start monitoring that shyt you’re setting yourself up for success.

I started my journey 2 months ago. Was 270 (6ft tall in my late 30s) and now I’m 250. Working to get to 225. That is my next goal. Just keep going!

I think this the most consistent i been in over half a decade. I push myself on the days i feel tired to work out and im staying disciplined with my diet and have been at it for 3 solid months now. Everyone at work is noticing my cut.

Keep at it. I’ve even been getting some comments about my cut as well.

Some clothes that I got tailor made last year don’t fit me. I’m looking better in my pics and I’ve heard a lot of people say my face is getting slimmer.

And this is just being a 1/3 of the way in on my cut.

I really think the next 10-15lbs I drop will really be more visually significant.
