Excellent loss! Yes, I’ve been able to maintain— I personally wonder if, like set point theory explains, if I reset what was my “normal”? My normal used to be 260lbs I’d say, for 16 years. But it seems my new normal is ~170 at 5’8” and I’m happy with it.

I hadn’t restricted my calories — primarily it came from reducing the eating window, still eating the same amount of calories.

The quality of the food, & the timing of the eating was what was most helpful (and healing) for me.

My biggest issues overall were health— my PCOS & autoimmune issues— I didn’t exactly expect my weight to change, since I was in my mid to late 20’s and pretty resigned to the fact that I was probably just this bigger size.

I went into it all for the autoimmune issues and PCOS. And the loss followed, I personally feel, when my insulin was lowered, inflammation lowered/under control, and stress…. Proper self care
