Good luck @Ned, it worked for me a few years ago. I lost 40 kilograms. Now I have started a ketolike diet called OMAD. Basically it is one meal a day. No carb counting just eat whatever you like in a 1 hour eating window and let everything digest in 23 hours. It frees my mind to not have to think about what I need to eat the whole day. And I drink water thee and coffee during the day.
It is a form of intermittent fasting like some mentioned before. Maybe it’s something to look into for you as well.
