278 -> 230 in 6 months using the 50-25-25 diet

Between being prescribed a CPAP machine, and a diagnosis of a myriad of obesity-related ailments I knew it was time for a change; pre-diabetic, frequent back aches, meralgia, and high cholesterol. To top it off I found it hard to keep up with my son and found little interest in intercourse.

I started IF 3 days a week but the changes were very slow and my irritability was at an all time high. 50-25-25 is a diabetic diet where you eat 50% vegetables, 25% complex carbs and 25% lean proteins. This diet worked for me because I can eat as much as I want whenever I want as long as I maintain those ratios. CICO left me too hungry in between meals and increasing my IF days or hours wasn’t an option due to how it effected my ability to be nice to others. I still use IF to this day, but I also implemented walking 5 days a week for 30 minutes a day.
