I mean my title basically says it all. I need to lose a lot of weight. I’d eventually like to get gastric sleeve or gastric bypass surgery but I have to lose weight (100+- pounds) before I can ever have a consult with a surgeon about the possibility of surgery. His office told me this.
What would be some recommendations to start the fasting?
Surgery forces you to eat less. That’s it. You can do that on your own without being cut up.
I would like to suggest three books I read to get me started and motivated.
The books are:
The Obesity Code by Jason Fung
The Complete Guide to Fasting By Jason Fung and Jimmy Moore.
Delay, Don’t Deny - Living an Intermittent Fasting Lifestyle by Gin Stephens
I go back to these books often to help with various aspects of fasting and hunger. Simply cutting everything out will make you miserable. Its better to intermittent fast and try to eat healthy most of the time and realistically eat what you want some of the time.
I have lost 28 so far and kept it off. I am on track to lose another 40 lbs in the coming months.
Feel free to message me if you want, I will help you out best I can with resources. Hope this helps, all the best.
