Last year (2021) I weighed 297 starting this year (2022) i was down to 217 and have maintained. Now i want to get down to 180 lbs but do it in a healthy way as last year it was more of no eating for a couple days then eat the third day and then finnally stopped doing that around July while my weight lost stopped going down as fast i was eating daily. This year i plan to eat daily and still lose weight.

Has anyone tried not only counting the calories but also fasting ??

I think I’m going to do both

Fasting is bad on your stress hormone cortisol. It also throughs your female hormones out of balance. You may gain weight from it. I'm a certified health coach.

Actually eating 3 SMALL meals and 3 SMALL snacks of real whole foods - no factory foods or sugars speeds up the metabolism.

Also 80oz of water per day flushes the toxins and fats out quickly

Hi there CertifiedHealthCoach- Thanks for working to support others! Weight loss is hard and there is no reason to do it alone.
Drinking water is important for many reasons related to health and wellbeing, though it will not melt or flush fat away.
Here is some additional information you may find helpful on how to calculate individual water needs. Best, Joanna (MyNetDiary Dietitian)

I currently do fasts and counting calories and for me personally it is working but I am careful not to restrict myself from eating what I want
