> I've done it as someone who is 5'10" and 150lb to get down to 140 or 130lb.

I agree with you but wait what, that'd be 178 cm / 58 kilos? That's bordering on underweight: it doesn't feel right (or I'm converting it wrong?)

My first advice to people would be this: check your BMI first, and if you're perfectly in the middle then certainly do not get close to underweight.

Besides that: I don't drink much alcohol and do intermittent fasting (skipping meals like you do) and I've never been neither overweight nor underweight. To me it's all about discipline.



As a single additional anecdotal data point, my body is the same way. With similar height, if I am at 150lb (around 68kg) then I have visible fat. 140 is much better.
