[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 689268, member: 18958"] I am looking all over this thread for superg's post about losing 40 lbs by intermittent fasting and cannot find it! (To which Pisces Mom refers above.) I cannot believe I did not either here of or pay attention before to the medical research on this method. Intermittent Fasting. My son has long espoused the low carb high fat way of eating. He has, for years, insisted my arthritis would improve, my cholesterol go down, and I would lose weight by dietary change, high fat and limiting carbs. He practices this diet to lower inflammation. He has liver disease and mental illness. He believes that he has more mood stability with this diet and drinks olive oil. His main protein source is fatty fish such as salmon when he can afford it and sardines when he cannot. While I have not lost enough weight to see if my neck pain will ameliorate, when I was 50 pounds lighter I had no pain *duh. I am so greatly encouraged by this thread. Thank you, ladies. This is so helpful, to feel not alone. Me, too. But I will walk today. By this time the heat should be too great to walk mid-day but we are having a cooler spell. I will walk! Kt. This sounds delicious. M will not eat cheese with meat or poultry, but I sure will. I love Pesto. Why? I am pretty skeptical of calorie reduction alone. While I lost weight initially, I plateaued and despite rigorously maintaining a lower cal regimen, I cannot lose weight any more, with just caloric restriction. I am having good luck this week with intermittent fasting and when I was young had success with near-fasting, at 600 calories a day. In my adult life I have vacillated between 126 or 127 all the way to 172 to 180 on a few occasions (not counting in the last couple of years going even higher--which we will not mention here. OK?) For some reason in the past, I was able to drop the 50 pounds, fairly easily, without dietary change. I think it was either reducing stress or increasing exercise. With each I am able to moderate my appetite too, without any suffering or trying. This time it is not working. Thus, this thread. Thank you very much ladies. I so do appreciate it. [/QUOTE]
