Avoided carbohydrates at first due to misconceptions about carbs causing fat gain.
Later reintroduced carbs and allowed more flexibility in meals.
Emphasized eating mostly unprocessed, real foods as a simple rule for easier weight loss.

Avoided intense cardio initially due to being overweight and out of shape.
Learned to avoid overexertion (e.g., walking too fast causing shin splints).
Added running later but balanced exercise to avoid injury.
Realized exercise benefits overall health but has less impact on weight loss compared to diet and fasting.

Experimented with skipping breakfast and lunch, finding it manageable without negatively affecting energy or metabolism.
Used intermittent fasting methods, including OMAD (One Meal A Day), to reduce calorie intake.
Found fasting helped curb cravings and allowed better control over eating habits.
Balanced fasting with occasional eating days to prevent burnout.

Tried alternate day fasting, 48-hour, 72-hour, and even 5-day fasts.
Longer fasts became easier over time and helped prevent plateaus in weight loss.
During fasting days, consumed only non-caloric drinks such as coffee, water, lemon water, and sparkling water.
On eating days, focused on unprocessed foods but allowed flexibility without strict calorie counting.
Realized fasting was a powerful tool for sustained fat loss and breaking junk food addiction.

Used walking not just for exercise but as a mental distraction from food cravings.
Learned that suffering and extreme restriction were not sustainable.
Emphasized balance and willingness to keep trying over perfection.
Recognized the importance of finding a sustainable approach rather than chasing quick fixes.
Understood that weight loss is more about what you eat than how much you exercise.
