Modest protein. You should have roughly half your body weight in grams for protein with all the rest fat and very small carb besides fiber

“Are you eating low protein too?”

No. Just very low carbs. Fat, protein, and vegetables is it. No fruit. No alcohol (even one G&T/night halted the weight loss). Don’t need to watch calories either as after being on the diet for a few weeks you tend to lose your appetite. I don’t get hungry until 3-4pm, and then can’t eat much because fat and protein are so satiating.

Cardio workout 3 times a week for 30 minutes was a HUGE boost for weight loss. Gonna buy a used Q37xi Octane Elliptical for home use because going to gym is rather time-consuming.

The REAL trick is to keep the weight off after losing it, meaning you can’t go back to bad eating habits, and pretty much just add back enough high quality carbs to keep your weight stable.
