I made a very concerted effort to lose weight last year and it was such an overwhelming exercise in concentration. I did a lot of fasting and walking, fasts for 2 - 3 days once a week. I looked and felt fantastic. But the mental energy required was too high for my workload. I’m starting to focus on health and fitness again, basically going on a majority raw foods diet involving vegetable and fruit shakes. I feel a lot better and a lot more energy, not really sure if I’m losing weight. It was so much damn work to remember and focus and plan to stick on these diets while having super high workload and family. I really liked how I felt and looked after dropping 35 lbs but was hard to stick on that approach. I wish it was easier.
