I do the Fasting Mimicking Diet for 5 days each month, for longevity. But there's been good results for those trying to lose weight. I think this is the healthiest way to restrict calories that I've seen.
I prepare my own food, but this program will send exactly what you should be eating during the 5 days:

I did a ghetto version of that. I ate only when I was hungry and tried to hold off until I knew for sure that I actually need to eat. I know it sounds stupid, but I was never a breakfast person, yet always forced myself to have breakfast throughout the years. Eating before leaving the house always felt like I'm force feeding myself.
I went to eating my first meal at 2pm, sometimes 4pm, whenever I felt like it.
I would also stop eating whenever I started feeling satisfied, not when the portion was done. Oh, I also decided to drink whatever I felt like, instead of what was the easiest to grab, which usually led me to tea (green or black) with some honey. That was the best diet I have ever done. And extremely easy to maintain, as I really just did what I wanted. I have no idea how much I lost, but the results were great and I became very happy with my body. Then I moved in with my girlfriend who loves snacking and eating at predefined times, and it's weird to eat at different times - it would take too much of our time.
These days I just skip proper breakfast while eating lunch and then dinner together, which is at least pretty similar to what I would naturally want. It's the snacking that kills me, as it's hard to say no to nachos during a movie night, or ice cream on the beach, despite the fact I wouldn't do that if it was just up to me, as I'm not a 'snacks' person.
What stuck though is not eating past full, but it's crazy how socially unacceptable leaving leftovers is sometimes. I have hard time explaining that it is not wasted food, especially when a close one cooks, but it is food that would make me fat, that I wouldn't enjoy anymore anyway, even though I loved it.

I literally just read about this the other day.
I read it is ideal for women to fast for up to 14 hours (most of which over night) and try and eat as late as possible the next day
Thanks.
I'm getting another MRI today. Accident was Christmas Eve. They rebuilt me Christmas Day. Might need more surgery now, and will need more surgery this time next year to remove some of the screws and rods.
I've always hated breakfast and rarely eaten it. So how this affects me now is skipping lunch (unless I have a lunch meeting, and Id probably skip dinner then). Basically just eat when I get home from work.
Lifestyle wise it's actually pretty easy. We'll see how it goes weight and health wise.

Nothing other than injecting testosterone would prevent muscle loss and even then it would still happen without any muscle stimulation.
No supplements actually work.
I wish I didn't
I have such a huge appetite.. seriously I can eat more than most men I have met
Low carb/high fat
When I do keto I do 4-6oz lean protein, half an avocado or cashews and green veggies 5-6x a day. But it’s hard for me to maintain because of my work schedule. I feel amazing when I do it though.
