My journey so far

**Start** I started at 5’7” and 230# which shocked me when the chart showed I was Obese. **Phase 1** I cut out sugar, processed food, eating out and started to walk which got me to 180# where I was stuck. **Phase II** I started Keto and was pleased with the initial water weight loss and hunger suppression that got me down to 170# where I was stuck again. I am shooting for < 50 carbs. Breakfast is two eggs, two slices of bacon, and a little broccoli or cauliflower, maybe some cheese. Dinner is beef and some low-carb vegetables. I snack a little on nuts. Chicken does not seem to have enough fat for me to not get hungry. I am stuck at #170. I have been very pleased with my metrics - blood sugar, blood pressure, etc. My brain is fog-free. My total Cholesterol (expected?) has shot up but my HDL (good) has increased for the first time in my life. **Phase III** Because I am not as hungry on Keto I have been trying IF. I started with eating at 10am and 6pm. Slowly I have been eating the first meal later and later. I am up to noon and 6PM. I think I want to get to OMAD at 6 PM?? **Phase IV** If needed, I am mentally preparing myself for 24hr or longer fasts. Any advice or insights are appreciated.
