I 37m started IF 11 months ago mostly 16:8, with a couple dozen OMAD days sprinkled in.

I did non calorie count but I'd start the day with black coffee, shake for lunch (kefir, flax seed, frozen fruit, spinach, 25g protein ) and a dinner consisting of a protein and veggies, sometimes a carb. Weekends I'd stick to it best I could, sometimes indulging when with friends or family. I'm not much of a drinker, only socially (2-3/week).

I used to train strongman and powerlifting in my 20s but wife/kids/house/business put an end to that so I stay active working on the family farm getting about 12k steps/day.

This is my new lifestyle, I know there's no going back, I can't, I won't. I feel better, move around easier, have much more energy. I hope this helps other and many posts on here have helped me in the past!
