Before I started Atkins induction ( 20g max carbs a day ), I didn't count calories. Still don't. I did not see a drop in weight during the first week to 10 days or so, and it was around this time that I discovered intermittent fasting (and time-restricted eating (TRE)), and combined it has gotten me this far. I'm on day 326 ( on my daily food log ) and log everything I eat, drink religiously.

Sweets. I've found that sugar substitutes trigger sugar cravings, so I cut all of those out. Every now and then I will have a couple squares of Lindt 85 percent dark chocolate.
