Over the last 4 years i've barely worn shoes like 30 days in total. Today I noticed my previously best fitting shoes are like a size too big.

Ive also lost 40 kg from the point i bought these shoes. Have the shoes shape been ruined or have my feet shrunk??

Out of curiosity, wat were the biggest changes you implemented?

My changes were basically three stages:

  1. Cut out sugary drinks (both soft drinks and juice)
  2. Keto
  3. Intermittent fasting (this is much easier when you're already doing keto)

But even just cutting out sugary drinks made a big difference.

Would you do anything differently given hindsight?

I'd do it sooner. I'd also not get so caught up in trying to make keto food that mimics carby food (though maybe it actually is worthwhile doing it in the early days if you have cravings for certain things).

The sugary drinks is what did it for me too! First thing I cut out. Havent had anything but teas coffee amd inhumane amounts of water over the last 8 years. Maybe an average of like 3-4 sugary drinks a year at most.

Intermittent fasting was also my second most important method.

I also used to ask myself do you meed to eat or are you bored/ thirsty. Drink water and check back. If still feel hunger I'm eating.

Homecooked meals only. 0 fast food and very little going out for food anyways. Plus understamding nutrition.
