I'm on the one-meal-a-day diet. Fantastic belly-fat burner. I'm down to 88kgs/194 pounds, from over 107/235 just 3 years go. Mind you, I lost 33 of those when I got Covid and didn't eat for 10 days, lol.
I step on the scales once a day, just to watch progress. Sometimes I'm down around 191/192 . I'm looking ahead to a consistent 185.
Boy I'll tell ya, losing 40 pounds has made a big improvement on my ability to do everyday things, like getting up/down from and to the floor.
I found that, on the one-meal-a-day diet, which is about 23 consecutive hours of fasting, I can pretty much drink about anything I want, so long as I limit myself to three sugar drinks a day, mixing it up a bit between, Milk, Fruit juices, and Pop of course. Milk is my go-to drink, easily a liter a day.
I know I could lose weight faster if I cut them right out, but, but, but,
But losing a pound per month, sometimes 2, I'm good with that, and, I'm getting used to hearing my belly complain about it.
Good luck.
