Weight loss impossible!

I’m 48 and after 3 years of having slightly high blood pressure and cholesterol, weighing 204lbs, I tried 16/8 fasting from Dr. Berg’s videos. It made sense to me but I hate “diets”. I never understood why people did them because they always gained their weight back. Nevertheless, on Dec 1, 2020 my wife and I made a go of it. With everyone getting a vaccine for COVID-19, I also learned from Dr. Berg a little about viruses and how fasting and eating certain nutrients make the immune system stronger. I’m a big believer of natural solutions before medications and my wife and I had never gotten sick with COVID, nor do we usually get the flu. So we noticed that after about 2 weeks of fasting, our food choices began to get clean and deliberate. My sweet tooth and her salty potato chip addiction began to disappear! We started craving avocado and eggs (although we always loved eggs). We began to eat raw veggies and fruits! I have a funny story about choking down a donut on vacation…that’s when I knew something healthy and more permanent had taken hold of us!  After those two weeks I lost 1lb. I was discouraged from that angle but still felt good and liked the feel of fasting vs bouncing between bloated and starving all the time (insulin). But soon I lost on average about 1lb/week. It didn’t give me that ugly loose skin and wasn’t difficult to keep off. It’s now almost July 2021 and I am down to 175lbs. My wife is 53 and went from 137lbs to 127lbs! We don’t officially do keto but definitely limit our carbs. Our food choices are sustainable and much more conscious. We eat organic (as much as possible) and higher quality natural foods. I have a funny story about when our large refrigerator broke down and we had to use a small apartment sized one for a month… Anyway, I’m looking forward to getting my blood work done again this year! I never thought I’d say that! People are amazed at our transformation and we always tell them about Dr. Berg’s videos and how easy it all really is! Thanks again and I owe you my health!
