Weight maintenance is so much harder than it used to be!

The restricted time diet is working for me along with low carb. I’m losing an average of a pound a week however I don’t do the one meal a day diet nor do I do the keto. For me it’s not really a diet as much as a reminder not to eat whenever I want .
Exercise helps
 

Here’s the science behind the low carb diet
https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/how-many-carbs-per-day-to-lose-weight#section1
which shows more success in weight loss than the old calories in, calories out method and while the keto diet really works to lose weight, it’s been recommended only for short term. Ketosis is hard on the kidneys and too much fat increases estrogen which can become a cancer concern for women.

Today I watched the Marylyn Dennis Show which is a Canadian Show and there was a segment about the low carb diet which was very interesting.

Food manufacturers are making things like cauliflower pizza crusts as well as pre shredded zuchinni and cauflower since it has become so popular. Proof that the low carb diet works can be found everywhere.

You did nothing wrong PVC. You shared your passions with other members. It’s a normal thing to want to do when you’re excited about something. We ALL do it. Some people will appreciate it, others won’t.
 
Just in case, I want to make sure that my questions about OMAD diet and restricted time diet had nothing to do about low carb diet. As a type 2 diabetic I have to follow a low carb diet unless I want to go on insulin or those other diabetic medications which my mom died from (among other stuff) from heart failure which otherwise there was absolutely wrong with her heart as they found out during the surgery. Basically she died from the cure.

I don't really feel I did anything wrong. I merely talked about the 'time-restricted'' diet that I was following. I was confused about the label, and called it OMAD. @Invictus is also a dedicated follower of the "time restricted'' diet and has had great success with it. I didn't ask anyone to do it, just merely talked about it and its benefits. It's a simple diet, fast for MORE than 12 hours, the more hours the better, and your body will start consuming the glucose stored as fat. Anyone who wants to follow the diet needs to look it up and decide if it's for them. I wasn't twisting anybody's arm to follow the diet.

Olivia's diet of restricted calories and 3 small meals a day may work for her and other individuals with strong willpower but it doesn't work for me. I want to lose that extra weight and will do it however works best for me.

You didn’t do anything wrong. You talked about it and answered questions of those who asked. It was their choice to do so. You weren’t twisting anyone’s arm.

Don’t worry about it.
Take a few deep breaths and carry on.
You don’t need to explain anything.

I don't understand why me having a difference of opinion on a type of diet makes it a horrible criticism of someone else's type of diet. I just wanted to know what is the proof of it's safety and how well it works. But now I'm some bad person that makes people sad.

Here are some websites.

ADDED: I fast 22 hours, but after I reach my goal will eat from 12pm to 8pm, I can handle that very easily.

I finally did my scale check.
Had my Dr’s appt today.
I was 194 at home this morning before breakfast in my underwear.
Then at 1:00 pm after lunch with my street clothes on I was an even 200 on my home scale.
Then at the doctors office, again with the same clothes on, at about 2 pm, they weighed me at 198.
Then, on the way home at the grocery store I weighed 199 on their scale. Same clothes again.
Then back home at 3:45pm, again, same clothes, I was at 200 again on my home scale.
So it looks like my scale at home is a little high, which is good. I'd rather it be high than low.

But....what was in the pockets of your clothes?

I love watching repeats of the sitcom "Mike and Molly''. They're both obese. One time Mike wanted to weigh himself and took off his shirt, said just the shirt alone weighed a few pounds. LOL

It does - because of those King-Sized Snickers bars in the pockets.

But who knows why anyone says anything. Humans aren’t perfect. I say stupid stuff all the time so imagine other people do to. 😇

What do you mean "humans aren't perfect?"
I'm perfect.
A perfect pain.
Would you like to know where?
 
I've decided to take another break from my diet and see if I can reset my metabolism back to where it was when I wasn't dieting. So for the time being my goal will be to maintain my weight at no more than 195. This morning I was 194. I'm going to keep track of my calories just to see how much I can eat without gaining past 195.

I've been weighing 'daily', but now at a given time
Mornings, after breakfast and a good poop (hey, I'm a dawg, gotta poop after every meal)
Down two lbs in two days, but it don't mean much unless it's sustained over a week or so.
Still, I'm takin' it

@Gary O', I saw this ad for breakfast cereal and thought of you!

I'd honestly never given any thought to my eating time span till I read those last few posts!

Hmm. During the work week, I eat something light (I don't enjoy a heavy breakfast soon after getting up, but I know I need to eat something before I leave for work) around 8.30 or 9.00 am, and usually dinner is over around 7.00 and I don't eat again after dinner.

Weekends are a bit different. Because I don't have to head out the door for work, I don't eat first thing. e.g. it's 11.00 am right now and I'm just getting ready to fix myself and Ron a meal. If we go out to eat tonight, we'll be done by 8 or 9. If he or I make something at home, we'll be done by about 7.00. And again, I won't eat after that.

That's interesting. On weekends my window is about 8 - 10 hours depending on whether or not we go out to eat. Weekdays typically 10 hours.
