19. It will absolutely work. Keep doing it.

I went on a very-low carb diet early last year, just before the lockdown, and since then I've lost 52 lbs. It helped a lot that I live by myself and wasn't influenced by anyone else's food desires, and also by the necessity of ordering groceries on-line for delivery. That way I wasn't tempted to buy things like pastries by seeing them in front of me. Also, of course I wasn't eating in restaurants, whose portions are always way too large. And I gradually got into the habit of not eating as much of anything, maybe because my diet had become kind of boring and I wasn't so excited about eating anything.

By August I'd lost about 30 lbs. but got stuck, so I started walking every day. I also bought one of those fitness trackers (which revealed to me how sedentary I'd become) so I could keep track of how much exercise I'd done and how many calories I'd used up. It turns out that I can burn about 100 calories per mile of walking, which doesn't seem like much (it's only a cookie's worth), but they add up. I usually do 2-4 miles a day, and kept doing it even through the polar vortex. So between the almost-no-carb diet and the exercise I've lost another 22 lbs. It works, slowly but surely. Keep it up!
