Curious about your food choices. I've been experimenting with IF. More specifically I'd call it more like timed eating because the bulk of my fasting hours and during sleep. I'm down 20 lbs with solid numbers. As a side note I have some genetic factors as well and trying to counter those.

A lot of lean protein and vegetables; eggs (3 egg-whites + 1 whole egg is a common combination for me), chicken, fish, broccoli, etc. I wasn't trying for low-carb, but low-carb made it easier to stave off cravings. I was paying attention to calories more than anything else.

I do drink, however, straight liquor. Rarely to excess, but also rarely fewer than 2 drinks (almost always 2-3 drinks an evening).

Why not just eat the whole eggs? The fat in the yolks is really good, assuming you're getting pasture-raised eggs.
Same here, 10 kg down very quickly. Now weight is fixed at 80kg no matter what I eat. The only difference is when I eat.
Same, I went from 95kg to 80kg in a few months, then I got stuck at 80kg for a few months on keto. But then all of a sudden I dropped to 72kg in a few weeks (it was such an odd and rapid drop I freaked out and went to the doctors to get checked out)
