Unlike Drew Manning, I didn't gain weight in 2020 on purpose. I gained it because I am incredibly vulnerable to stress-induced weight gain and I wasn't prepared for the stressors of 2020. But here is how I lost it like a boss, getting back to “fit” with a well-executed plan.
I remember it being easy but I can be a robot like that. I needed 10 mg melatonin to fall asleep at night. I wound up getting sick with covid a second time while losing 0.6 lb per day so I think it was too extreme.
1-3 grams protein per kilogram bodyweight. Higher protein allows more steep caloric deficit without loss of lean mass. Like I said, I'm not a fan of the steep caloric deficit for health.
How stressful or easy to adapt was your eating plan?
how were your physical and mental energy levels.
I have always been hesitant to go low carb. that's why I am asking.

Thanks for getting back to me.
how much chicken breast per body weight per meal would be reasonable?
Right now I am losing a bit of weight steadily by deriving most calories from carbs at a 300 kcal deficit.

appreciate the details.
Would the same amount of protein as lean cottage cheese have the same satiating effect do you think?
was there a particular macronutrient breakdown?
