Because we were trained to do so, we were never trained to exercise, .Lifting heavy, calisthenics, cardio all these exercises to fully achieve wellness. I applaud any beginning in taking care of your health, so please don't get me wrong. You and your wife want to eat right, but there is an issue called 'skinny fat" Losing weight shouldn't be the overall goal. Becoming stronger and healthier is the goal. Not being tried all the time and weak is more likely to happen as your goal is just to lose weight. Fat burning also must be understood that your brain is made up of fat. So, be very careful what you are burning up. High protein low carb diets aren't made for everyone. Everyone is different, and the bathroom is usually where the high protein diet takes its toll. Carbs and proteins go together. No way around it, and it shows up in the bathroom. So, unless you want to pass cinder blocks with rebar, regulate carbs with protein. Everything is a balance, which is done holistically.
I pray for your work in getting good health.

I don't go to the gym, but I do labour physically. Busting wood today and not with a hydraulic splitter, but with a 14lbs maul. busted about an entire cord yesterday and working on my 2nd cord today. 95 degrees and lots of sweat, but it feels good. Told my kids I would take them swimming this afternoon as well.
This has not always been my lifestyle, but I have always been moderately physical. Foods has been the problem with me. If I like it, I want seconds. lately I have felt great with the high fats/proteins and low carbs. I have lots of energy as well. The inttermitant fasting, for me means a good breakfast and good but somewhat earlier supper. I simply skip lunch and drink lots of water and no snacks (except for maybe eating a little out of the peanut butter jar). I am consuming probably close to the same amount of calories, but just getting it from better foods and in 2 meals.
The bathroom is what is concerning. Again not trying to be gross, but I have gone from being daily to maybe 1-2 times a week. I am drinking a lot of water and am passing a lot of waste by urine. I am just a little concerned why so little stool. I don't think it is constipation because I'm not passing rocks, but I just don't know what is going on my body.
