Hey ~mouse,
I have changed diet about 3 years ago and this has allowed for some loss and imho more importantly keep that lower weight stable.
- eat cereal and fruit in the morning --- real cereal from the mill shop, nothing but grain. I prepare some in the evening and let it soak in water. Add fruit and some joghurt or milk in the morning (I get up at 5 in the morning)
- eat proper lunch, i.e. a warm meal. I have access to a very good cantina at work. This is my main meal.
- don't eat anything after 3 in the afternoon.
I was afraid, that I "die from hunger" in the evening, when skipping the 3rd meal. It has not happened. When being invited in the evening for a full meal, I often don't sleep well afterwards. This shows that digestion is a thing of labour. I have adapted well to only two meals per day. As far as I have learned the extended period of time without food (14h or more) is key to this.
When I started this, my hopes were quite low, but I did have to change something, or anything, really.
Take care,
~ew
