Thanks for taking the time read and comment, I really appreciate it. A pound a week is nothing to sneeze at and I always look at it like compounding interest. At the end of the year, that is some serious "gains" (lolol).
IF has been a major factor as well. I usually do 20-4 with some 18-6 in there. I never started out with the intention of IF, if just was kind of on accident. I was so satisfied with eating carnivore that I begin to notice I was going to bed and forgot to eat supper every few days or so and then it became I was never hungry for supper. I then started researching and found all the amazing benefits associated with IF and I plan to keep it in place. One of my goals this year is to do a full fast every Monday as a "reset". I found that sometimes that helps when I hit plateaus.
Thank you again for taking the time to drop by and give some input!
