Try skipping breakfast. Do water only until lunch.

If you watch what you eat for just the two meals (lunch and dinner) you will drop weight faster. You will be hungry for the first week or so, but your body will get used to it.

I’m wearing a shirt right now I bought 22 years ago. There was about a 10 year period where it just wouldn’t fit.

I do good at meals. Snacking is the problem. This is my third week of not working, and I did a few all nighters reading Josephus's Wars of the Jews. Never a good idea where mindless snacking is the concern. I actually got up to 214 between weigh ins and had to start a modified 5/2 fasting diet to get my arms around it. Eight or ten years ago I did the 5/2 with great results. I think I only had 600-700 calories on my fast days. This time 1000 is my goal.

If you’re into fasting go 16/8 each day. I’ve also done that in the past. Fasting is really hard. Have a “snack window” and pick low calorie snack. Like popcorn. Something low calorie that will still make you feel full.

Also drop the calories from beverages if that’s your thing.

Just some suggestions from someone with zero qualifications but some real world experience

Good luck brother

It's not really fasting. Just on two nonconsecutive days you limit your calories. I go really hard on the green beans, stir-fry and soybeans everyday, but on those two days I mostly skip everything else. On Monday I didn't have any meat, and today I picked out as much of the sausage as I could from the wife's veggie soup.

Due to a bum kidney, I only drink coffee and water.

Have you tried intermittent fasting? If not you should at least look into it. Getting your body into ketosis isn’t easy but once you do, it’s like a furnace burning fat.
