@icedquinn I might be lucky and have high metabolism, myself. I didn't do much more than cut my calorie consumtion by half and most of that was because I just.. couldn't eat as much as I used to.
I used to be able to eat 12 slices of pizza at a time, no joke, and one time I got barred from a all you can eat sushi place because I raided them so hard.
Nowadays I eat MAYBE 30% more than my oldest daughter.
I've learned to love reheated pizza. The way I have that is I stick it in the oven until the cheese is all crispy on the outside. Let it cool off a bit and dig in the next day.
