Thank you for this, I needed this knowledge months ago. I was frustrated after limiting my calories and increasing my exercise from February through June and only lost 12 pounds. I want to add here my blood pressure has always been great, no issues with cholesterol etc but had some issues (female stuff) which could be attributed to being overweight. I then switched to intermittent fasting and since June I have lost 2 lbs I now have high cholesterol, love vitamin d and some other health issues, I’ve gotten worse instead of better. I am going back to eating three meals, having healthy snacks if I am hungry in between and just being patient letting the weight come off as it will. I’ve learned that my health and nourishing my body well with good food is the priority, not focusing on the numbers on my scale.
I’m sorry you went through this, Leena. I am glad you have now landed in a much more positive place by focusing on your health and no longer on the scale. Your vulnerability here has no doubt encouraged another. Thank you for sharing your journey 🙌.
