I have found the best results for weight control and exercise fulfillment are with the 16/8 method. I usually start eating at 8am and finish before 3pm. I eat enough to sustain any evening exercise that I do and it works quite well.

You'll find that with this method IF you can have the willpower to not overeat, it's a great way to lose weight. I find that days that I gain a pound are days where 1) I have had over 100oz of water or 2) where I eat after 5pm.

At my heaviest in early 2014, I weighted 238 pounds. A motorcycle roadracing crash and subsequent healing brought me down to 210 pounds, hen I started inline speed skating again after a 10 year hiatus. I added spin classes to my training and eventually cycling and dropped a few pounds by documenting food consumption. But the biggest losses were when I started the 16/8 method. I got down to a low of 177 last September, but most times, I bounce around between 185 and 190.
