I have tried just about every combination of foods, timing, exercise, etc and what I've settled on is mostly zero-carb carnivorous diet. Fast-5 is one of those things that make you question everything you thought you knew about life in general. Once I realized that I didn't need to eat 3-5 meals a day, and I didn't need a post-workout recovery meal, and calories don't matter unless you eat carbs, I broke it down a bit at a time over time to find that if I eat a bowl of 1-2 lbs of fatty meat for dinner, I'm perfectly satiated, have plenty of energy, and stay nice and thin.
So basically what I do is eat my daily bowl of meat and about a tablespoon of cold pressed hemp seed or pumpkin seed oil per day for unprocessed and unheated O-3's and O-6's (check out Brian Peskin dot com).
For exercise, I usually go outside and walk in the city during my lunch hour and as I go, I try to get in 100-400 pushups a day.
That seems to do the trick. My wife thinks I'm nuts so I promised her I would go and have a physical when the scale gets to 159 and then call it good enough. I'm really curious to see what my lab work with show. I'll post it here when I find out. Still have a couple of pounds to go... ;)

Well that's my height so I kept that in mind all this time when it seemed nearly impossible to get down that low that if David can do it, so can I! So a really quick thank you to David for the inspiration. :)

The photo shows me with 60lbs worth of weights showing the insane amount of weight I was carrying. I had lost 20-30 lbs before finding Fast-5 back in December of 2008. But using a combination of low/zero carb combined with Fast-5 I've slowly been able to get down to my high school weight and EASILY keep it off. This photo was taken after a 3-mile walk that included 400 push-ups. ;)
