D2, I lost over 100 pounds by going from 3 meals a day to 6 smaller meals a day, and paying attention to getting enough protein. Snacks are key to my maintenance! So your advice may vary for others.

I intermittent fast on weekends when I’m home and my corporate Amex doesn’t work. Haha. 🤣

When losing/maintaining weight, no snacks, we gain weight by insulin pushing excess glucose into our fat storage, the longer our insulin is up, the less time our body is fueling from our storage. Each time we eat, our insulin is elevated to do its job. Problem comes when we eat too frequently (unless you’re an athlete exercising all the glucose off).

Siggis yogurt and a coffee with nonfat milk from Starbucks each morning. Protein bar for snack. Try to pick a steakhouse type place for lunch and order a 6oz grilled meat and a green veggie, similar type thing for dinner, protein shake for snack if I get a workout in. I pack the protein shakes and bars in my bag. Other suggestions for meals out are to eat at change large enough that they are required to list calories. Also, I never take an elevator unless I am going more than 10 floors, as a personal rule.

This sounds like starvation @Mck 😀

Peppermint tea for breakfast, nice big salad for lunch but with no carbs in it, try to skip dinner 2X a week, meat/fish + veggies when not. Snacks - try to avoid but small packet of salted almonds afternoon if really hungry, otherwise chewing gum & herbal tea in unlimited quantities 😄

Fasting doesn’t work for me - gave me major headaches. I prefer the small meals but you have to plan for them and I need low carb, lots of water, not booze or soda. I also do weight training or P90x3, push ups and lunges and stairs and walk as much as possible. I have 15% body fat (female), I am 46 and weigh 123. I am 5’3”.

OP - what is your weight? As your calorie intake will depend on your initial weight.

PWC2 - weak. That glass of water cost 11 cents. No thanks! I’ll drink water when my AmEx works on Monday again.

Just kidding haha. 🍷

Hello,
I’m a junior data scientist and in my current job I mostly code using Pyspark (no machine learning) so I would like to work on a side project that could leverage my profile and data science/ML skills. What project would you advice me to work on ? (it can be a kaggle project, or a classic task that you do at your job, or a paper that you read).
I’m overwhelmed by the many suggestions online and would prefer to get a suggestion directly from professionals.
PS : I’m not a beginner.
