My wife was interested in taking the Ozempic route, and I am not fond of drugs.
We then started intermittent fasting together as a lifestyle, and it's been great. Losing weight while not restricting what we eat and feeling great as our body adapts and doesn't let us overeat. I just wonder about the long-term effects, but I'd rather take this risk than a drug like Ozempic.
I've never been more insufferable and hangry than when fasting. I'm glad it works for you.
We did this, this happened to us: after a while you or her may get extremely obsessed with food and eventually get to the point where you overeat as a form of 'freedom' until you just can't stop.
IF works until it doesn't, then it REALLY doesn't work. My wife had a breakdown before we realized something was incredibly wrong. YMMV.
