100% the key to living a healthy lifestyle. It affects your cholesterol more than actual dietary cholesterol and is responsible for more weight gain than carbs. The keto people are burning fat at the expense of their heart health.

Congrats for sure. Inspiring stuff. I have been displeased with my weight for a while (6'2 215ish), but it really hit me the other day when I took a video of my golf swing and could see the gut and love handles through my shirt. Time to do something.
Don't forget, the camera adds 10 pounds. How many cameras did you use?

Gotta get those Omega 3's in your diet. Easiest healthiest and filling foods is the canned fishes and oysters. I love them, cheap too

The carnivore thread inspired me to share my weight problems of the past and what I did to lose weight.
Most of my adult life, I've struggled with weight issues. I've been on many many diets in the past and they've all worked, lost a lot of weight but I'd regain the weight quicker than it took to lose it. Why is that so? Because I refused to give up unhealthy eating habits whenever I'd get off a diet. A year and two months ago, I stepped on the scale at 220 lbs, standing at 5'7" that's not good. That's when I decided not to go on another diet, instead I started making adjustments to my daily diet. I eliminated all the junk including fast food and retrained my brain to eat healthy. Lean meat, fish, fruits and vegetables replaced the saturated fat content part of my daily intake. Three squares a day, no skipping, but smaller portions on each meal. I haven't had anything fried in over a year.
I went from 220 to 145 lbs in 7 - 8 months. Didn't count calories or carbohydrates, but I did keep up with saturated fat. I keep it around 15-20 grams per day. I'm now maintaining 145 lbs and that's something I've never done
Heartburn - gone
Sleep apnea - gone
I'm 59 yrs old and I'm proof that you can teach an old dog new tricks. Before I dropped my weight, I was very proud of my 11 year sobriety. Well I can add another accomplishment to the list.
I think this is awesome. Doing it the right way and considering age, double awesome accomplishment.

Do you eat bread, carbs of any kind? If yes, what is your daily intake?

thats fricking badass man. Congrats as it is a big acchomplishment.
At your age though you should really look into starting a proper weight training program. It is very important to maintaining independence and movement quality as we age and the effects of lack of strength are significantly more pronounced in indivduals 60+

Optavia is what my wife and I started - im down 80 pounds and she is down close to 65 or so herself. it has been a life changer (pun intended) and we both are far happier. ive dropped 3 pant sizes and had to get rid of all my work clothes because they were parachutes to what I am now lol.
nice to be in a 2nx shirt and size 40 to 42 pants :)

As part of the new years resolution, as cliché as it may sound, about 6 weeks ago I decided I was getting sick of my weight and lack of energy. I was at 250 lbs standing 5'-11.
In a matter of 45 days, I'm at 239 lbs now without exercise. All I did was cut off all sugar (sodas, juices, tea), beer, fried food, fast food, 30% less meal portions, no rice & eating dinner earlier. My goal is an additional 20 lbs.
Hats off to the OP, it takes major discipline and hard work what you accomplished.

Can you or anyone else add some specificity to this? Like what foods and how are they prepared?
Lean meats such as beef and chicken. You can get pretty creative with the grill and there's a lot of low cal marinate recipes out there to prepare your grilled foods that would rival a 3 star Michelin restaurant. I use a little bit of extra virgin olive oil to pan fry any fish I cook (no batter).

choose sandwich shops.
That depends. There are a myriad of fattening sandwiches out there
It's going to be hard to lose weight eating a meatball sandwich every day that is a foot long, for example.
. The best way to be lean is to emulate the behaviors of lean people. Eat less and move more. Limit empty calories but don't completely eliminate them if it's going to lead to you quitting. Find healthy foods that you like and that are easy to make. They're out there. You just have to look.

Good on you, man!
Do you allow yourself “cheat” meals? If so, how often? I’ve found it’s so much harder to stick with healthy eating if you don’t give yourself a chance every so often to indulge.

Thats awesome.
This is my issue. I can go without alcohol, sugar and processed. But I love fried shite and I can't ever fully kick it. I just try to exercise enough to compensate. 6'0 and I hover between 190-200 for the last 5 yrs.

Key is to keep track of calories
That may be true but every time I ever tried it I got so dragged down by the hassle that I’d never even last a week. I do better just making better choices and running a lot. But I like to run so that works for me. I can tell when I start eating too much and make myself dial it back. Also a huge thing for me was no snacking after dinner.
