Nine course diner! WOW, that is a massive amount of rounds!

Losing weight. I have a lot of success with: Intermittent fasting in combination with low carbs. 16 hours no food, just water, black coffee, and/or plain tea (I drink fresh ginger tea). It'll take a week or two before starting to lose weight. The low carbs, being replaced by more protein, will make you feel more saturated, so you'll start eating less over a time, a few weeks already. When being strict on low carbs, one will also start to have more energy. I really like this way of losing weight, since I always feel satisfied, no hungry feeling. Perhaps only at lunch time, for half an hour or so. I stop eating at 10PM and start eating late afternoon, early evening.
