I went from 217->173 and have stayed in that range for 4 years. I’m 5’10” / M / 43years

Short answer: high protein / adequate fat keto with skipping breakfast (aka 16:8 intermittent fasting)

I tried it for weightloss, and immediately had health benefits within 36 hours of switching over. I’m never going back. I feel 10 years younger. Brain fog lifted, joint pain gone, more energy to move and do things, more patience and clarity at work and home. Hunger is a signal now and I’m never hangry.

It’s also just not that hard. I eat a ton of awesome meals full of chicken and roasted veg, bbq meats I smoke, steaks, omelets, huge salads. Life is good and I feel good.

You made it 45 seconds longer than I did. Still waiting for my hair to stop standing on end.

Just sharing my experience, I’m 42 and still figuring it out. It helps me to remember that gender and the behaviors ascribed to it are made up and have changed massively through history. We get to decide who we are and what we call ourselves, and that can change. We also get to decide if the rules and labels matter to us at all.

They quietly have. Most of the restrictions have been rolled back

I highly recommend checking out the Zelda and Chill trilogy - https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoupLnv0rZ6yQYLT-H-lDSkoamYZ_-HzG&feature=share

I’d be down for a music creation community! I mostly make chiptune/video game music, but I’ve got a background in composition and musical theater, and I’m working on a pop song of all things currently :)
