I'm down 13.6 lbs this month, and it was pretty damn hard in the beginning, but it's getting easier. The withdrawals from sugar/caffeine lasted about 1.5 weeks, got hypoglycemic a few times (not fun), and just 2 days ago I wasn't counting down the minutes until I got to eat. It's a good place to be now.
My regimen:
-Less than a 5 hour eating window every day (usually about 3.5)
-Nothing to drink except water
-First meal is watermelon/cantaloupe/banana/nuts/peanut butter
-Second meal is any normal meal, I just can't have fast food
-No overt sweets at all (cookies/candy/cake/etc)
-I do a light work out 1 hour a day (35 minutes of weight training, 25 minutes of walking), and twice every other day (the second time is either half, 3/4 or full, depending on how I feel)
I wouldn't say I feel "better" all the time, just no highs and lows, and no afternoon sluggishness.
I'm 149 lbs at the moment (goal is 143), so 13 lbs is a LOT on me.
I figure I can get to my 20-lb loss goal in 40 days. We'll see.
