This is true. But the thing is when you get older, there is no other way. When I did Keto or IF I ate less than 1000 calories typically, sometimes, less than 500.
There is research I found, SWOT. How you eat is perfect in terms of time. I can't seem to do it with one meal a day. I get hungry and I have not been able to push through.
I want only to lose 10 pounds. But it is a struggle to even maintain my weight at 149. I eat very little. M is concerned. Honestly, I have to do IF just to keep my weight down to 149-150.
I go back and forth about what to do. Part of me feels like I should stop trying to diet and just exercise and let the weight come off as it will (this is what has happened to me before.) If I walk and dance a lot, my appetite decreases naturally, and I lose about .75 lb a week, from the exercise, and I go down to what my baseline is which is between 127 and 133. So. This is what I think would be the healthiest, both physically and mentally. To stop stressing about weight loss.
But then the other part of me thinks I should bite the bullet (so to speak) and lose the 10 pounds, through some program like weight watchers with intermittent fasting.
But so far all I seem to be doing is trying to stay where I am and not gain weight.
