Episode 245 Mike Saunders -The first seven months losing a staggering 65 pounds 30 Kg living an intermittent fasting lifestyle.

Howdy. I'm Mike (Michael) Saunders. So, I suppose you need to know me and about me. I live just north of the capital of Alabama, which is Montgomery. I want to say I'm retired, but my friends keep asking me to help them with their businesses. (Quality control) I'm 72 and am currently recovering from Knee Replacement surgery.  When I went to the surgeon in December 2023, he, of course, told me that my BMI was too high.I clocked in at 365, then. I'm 6'1".  I got serious in February about losing weight so I could have the surgery. My goal for surgery was 331.  I have a friend in Mississippi who has lost 145 doing IF, so I asked her all about it and then began to research it. I dove in, and by May, I was at 310.  I mostly did a 4:3 for the last two months of that. I would mix it up with OMAD and TMAD.  For years since turning 40, I have yo-yo dieted with South Beach, Atkins and every other craze.  IF has been the only thing that is easy for me to do.  I reached my second goal of 300 a few weeks ago.  Now, on to my third goal of 200. Then, to do IF for life.  Our Patreon Supporters Community Please consider joining the Fasting Highway Patreon community.
