I wondered if you might be so kind as to answer a few questions, whether you lost fat because you were over weight, chubby, cutting up or whatever.
What strategy/ies did you try in order to lose weight?
eg low carb, low fat, zone etc
What exercise did you do while on this program?
how much fat did you lose and where did it seem to mostly come from?
How did you feel during this time?
groggy, tired, stressed etc
Its for a personal project, i hope to write a book one day.
Thanks in advance for any replies,

I have found that by eating only when I am hungry, combined with regular exercise, the pounds just drop off.
Most people eat regularly scheduled meals, even if they are not hungry. Then they end up snacking in between meals when they are hungry. This leads to weight gain, at least for me it does.
By allowing my body to tell me when I am hungry, and then eating what ever I want, I naturally avoid those between meal snacks. I don't count calories or carbs, I simply eat when I am hungry and stop when I am full.
It sounds simple, but for me it has worked. Twelve years ago I was 50 pounds overweight (230 lbs vs an ideal weight of 180 lbs for my height of 6 ft). I lost the 50 lbs in 6 months and have kept the weight off ever since.
I have tried counting clories and all that bullshit but i always get tired of doing that. What i usually do when i want to get cut up is go on a 20 carb a day diet. you can eat all the fat u want and all the protein. So basically all u eat is meat and green vegetables but, it works really well. My waist used to be 36in. but now i varey between 32-31in depending on if im bulcking or trying to get cut.
I lifted 4-5 days a week and some running or biking. The exercises were just regular free weight stuff bench press, squat, curl stuff like that.
If ne1 reads this can u tell me if calcium pyruvate works for either weight loss or gaining muscle. I heard it does both.
