I have lost about 7 lbs, I have been eating the same, maybe less. I have been going out for morning and afternoon walks and longer walks since the virus attack. I've been eating a lot of congee (boiled rice to a paste) It keeps me hydrated and full. I add vegetables, meat, herbs, cheese, or sauces. It really is tasty and very filling. I keep a big bowl of it in the fridge.
