I don't want to lecture but you probably don't know what you're doing to yourself if you're 75 lb overweight. You don't feel it if you're in your 40s but you're literally killing yourself slowly. And it will pick up once you get to 50. One of the biggest things that morbid obesity does is it promotes inflammation and inflammation we now know causes a myriad of problems including heart disease and cancer.

Oh, I feel it. Poignantly.
On days when I fast, or eat modestly, I feel great. A little bit of exercise boosts it even more.
If I eat some junk food and some good stuff, I feel OK. Not super, just... OK.
If I overindulge on garbage, I feel like trash.
These aren't emotional feelings, just how I sense my body reacting.

Some of this is pushing me towards an OMAD/IF scheme, but that's really not compatible with the medication schedule.
Say what you want about carbohydrates, but a reasonable quality piece of fruit seems to enhance my "feeling good" for a few hours.
May the cards fall in your favor.

Here's an inspirational exercise video, from a celebrity who did not die, and seems like he never will.

Be the guy running down the street waving a pig! Ein Schweinschwenker!

Can anyone find me a Keith Richards workout?
Either it would be truly inspirational, or I might have a chance to keep up with the tempo.

I have been intermittently fasting for 8 years, my eating window is only 6 hours long. I fast 18 hours a day I don't even think about it because it's going on so long. For fruit I eat a tomato, an avocado, and blueberries every day. I eat a can of sardines everyday for the last 8 years. If I had a job like yours I would always have a dozen cans of sardines in the car and some kind of low-carb crackers. Sardines are extremely good for you, at the top of the superfood list. What you have to do is lose 25 or 30 lb and the way you feel will be so incredibly better that it will incentivize you to lose the rest of it. You'll look at the other life and go what was I doing to myself. A lot of the brain fog will be gone and you'll be able to see things clearly which believe me you're not doing right now. You're probably at about 80% or 85% and when you get to 95% you will be amazed. Plus you have kids, young kids, as a last resort realize they don't want you checking out in the next 20 years.

Sardines are hard for me. The ones I like come in a jar, which is good, because it's hard to eat more than a few - they're exquisitely rich and oily.
. I don't need to be saline-comatose all afternoon.

It's a process. Drink a gallon of water a day, do a little more, eat a little less. Repeat ad nauseum.

He also played a lawyer on The Good Wife. He was the son of famed acting teacher Stella Adler. He was 96. He should've taken better care of himself!
