I lost >40kg fat. How much more to go? 3~5kg? How to deal with the excess skin? Can I even do anything about it?

Thank you for the details! If I can ask more, what are your top 5 favourite vegetables?

I am currently always going for dark leakfy greens: Spinach, Kale, Bok Choy, Swiss Chard, and Repini.

Carbs are my killer still but if been doing IF to try to balance out my intake. And I'm upping protein again with weights.

Bell pepper, red cabbage, carrot, tomatoes, beets

Funny that yours are green and mine are red!

Does IF work? Does it feel good? I just eat less but the same stuff. I wouldn't want to be hungry. I never understood how people can stay hungry and not getting hangry

I've done IF in the past and I find it a pretty ideal solution. I think it is easier if you have a history of exercising a lot - enough to deplete your glycogen reserves - because this will train your body to utilize your fat stores more readily. I find that when I do IF, I might feel a bit peckish in the early afternoon, and then in the early evening I am quite hungry and eat dinner. I feel like it isn't a big deal, and one of the big benefits is learning to experience the sensation of hunger and accept it, rather than thinking it is an emergency.

I think it is a noble goal to feel and experience hunger and be ok with it. So far, I couldn't reach that point. Maybe some day but right now I am happy having small breakfast - which is basically the only difference between IF and a normal diet for me
