Here's an interesting thing. I am losing weight, not where I want to from around my stomach although the side handles are almost gone. I am losing weight on my arms and legs, neck and some areas at the side of my body. I decided that the beer drinking had to go even though I was losing some weight even whilst drinking and that the Keto diet I was on seemed to work for a while using the LCHF, (Low Carbohydrate High Fat) approach. So I have switched to the Carnivore (including Fish) diet, high fat, high meat and fish and low to zero carbs. I don't have any vegetables now and I do have butter, cheese and the like. In place of beer, fizzy water and coffee still plays a part.
I also intermittently fast which takes the form of not eating until (as long as I can) gone midday even as far as 2 pm. 5 days a week. Two days a week I have breakfast but I then try and last until mid to late afternoon. So far so good, if I get hungry then I'll eat, if I don't I won't.
Results? weight loss around 2 inches around the waist, noticeable looseness around wrists and wight off of the thighs too. midriff side handles almost gone. Blood pressure down significantly now around 120 / 80 most of the time.
So I am pleased with that. I am going to keep on the carnivore approach (some call it Paleo or Caveman diet). I feel good, my skin feels good, I just need to lose this middle stomach bit which is going down gradually. AS I often say, you didn't get fat in a week so don't expect to lose it all in a week or a month. It will slowly work its way off, you just have to follow the process.
Missing the beer of course but I think that I can just have the occasional one or two when I am out and as long as it is occasional it is manageable.
