I started 2022 weighing 248 pounds, prediabetic, with awful health problems overall. Today I'm 210, losing weight a lot faster than in the past, and my bloodwork is almost fully normal. I've got quite a bit to go, but we're trending in the right direction. Here's five things that worked for me:

1. Moderate exercise five days a week. I warm up, stretch, run a mile and a half, and then lift for half an hour. I alterante days between upper body + core and glute + legs. If your faucet isn't on, you're not working hard enough. This means not taking breaks between sets to browse the phone.

2. Time-restricted fasting and one meal a day. I only eat once a day, and I always leave at least 20 hours between meals. 3. No snacking, no ultra-processed foods, no sugary drinks. Iced water is my go-to. Things like chips and candy are fine every couple months but never bought in bulk to avoid temptation.

I recommend weening off of the OMAD eventually, as it’s not the most beneficial for protein synthesis. You had 5ish “prime” opportunities a day for muscle protein synthesis, so eating only once can limit your bodies ability to stack in gains!

Thanks for the tip! My current focus is cutting, but once I get where I need to be I will learn more about this to make necessary changes.
