re: Depression is kicking my arse

Obviously, I’m a bit overweight. I want to get back under 2 bills, so at minimum I need to lose 15 pounds.

Try intermittent fasting combined with “keto” (not strict keto, but focus on high protein/low carb/healthy fats to keep you full). I eventually moved my fasting window to one meal a day and keep the diet clean. I break my fast with a bunch of protein like meat, then eat vegetables/salad, then something fatty like Greek yogurt with natural peanut butter mixed in. Eat until full. Black coffee and water during the day. The TD health/fitness board may be worth checking out.

If you fast, drink lots of water, and eat natural whole foods, your mental state may improve. Mine did immensely. So much more energy, clarity, and drive restored! You will almost certainly lose the weight in the process.

ETA: also get engrossed in a classic book. I suggest War & Peace!
