Update: Still totally healthy, no meds, now easily maintaining a 22 BMI. I noticed some body recomposition in this new photo compared to photo last July on DietDoctor. Leaner upper arms and thighs but at the same weight. Dr Naiman said in one interview allow three years to reach your goal body recomposition, but rather amazing it is happening at all…I’ll be 72 in a few days.

At my age, losing 75 pounds required a lower fat, lower carb diet. I prioritize protein and started with The P:E Diet. One gram protein per pound ideal body weight has worked great for me. I have increased nutrient dense carbs with more fibrous vegetables, berries and fruit. I added low fat milk and fermented yogurt, while reducing added fats by Optimising Nutrition. I use a personalized time restricted eating window based on Data Driven Fasting program, but minimum have 2 meals plus a snack to be able eat enough protein, vitamins and minerals for healthy aging, supporting muscle strength and bone. But when I was at my goal weight, exercise became key to maintenance and body recomposition.
