0-8 months
I made fruit + vegetable juices for breakfast and packed lunch and snacks.
I reduced my portion from 4x to 1x appropriate for my body.
I went to the gym every day, 10 minutes at a time.
Week 1: I lost 2 kg in 5 days. During this time, my body thought it was starving as it was used to eating 4 times my ideal portion size. Stomach shrunk on day 6 and the body stopped complaining.
Week 2: I lost another 1kg.
Week 8: I lost another 2kg.
In two months, I lost 5 kg.
By month 3, I was going to the gym 5 times a day and working out for an hour. By then, a total loss of 6 kg.
By month 8, I was in the habit of 1) eating regularly; 2) eating the right food and amount; and 3) working out regularly
It wasn’t easy but not impossible. Discipline took over. Every Sunday, I bought fresh produce and cooked and packed away lunch and dinner for the week. Shopping took 2 hours. Cooking another 5 hours. I cut out all carbohydrates. No bread. No rice. Every morning, I would make freshly squeezed juice for breakfast.
