Instead eat in a shorter window. An 8-10 hour window with 2 or 3 meals is fine, 6 hours is ideal. Kill the snacking. Also be careful not to drink your calories either. Juice/Gatorade=Pop with regards to fat loss.

2) I don't care what you are eating.. if you are eating 2000 calories of green beans, broccoli and carrots all day long you will still be overworking your pancreas by spreading it out all day. Less so because you are getting more fibre. But your version of 'healthy eating' is limited to not eating fast food, which is worthless because you can get just as fat and unhealthy eating sweet potatoes, bread and pasta all the same, none of which are unhealthy on their own in moderation.

3) Exercise, you put far too much emphasis on this. You can't fix fat with exercise alone. You can when you are 20 maybe, but not when you get older. People who are physically unable to exercise can lose weight much faster than you just with eating correctly alone. Randy seems to be losing pretty quick himself and I don't think he has mentioned exercise at all, he did mention skipping out on the rigatoni though! His 'cheat meal' wasn't even much of a cheat. Maybe the size was a bit much but its not as bad as a carb overload would be is my point.

Forget about fast food, that wasn't the problem, the problem has always been carbohydrate overload. The problem isn't fats either, you need those to live. Organ health, brain health even fat loss! Those all need fat distribution from your food intake. by avoiding those you stall your fat burning engine.

Eating healthy is subjective. There are endless arguments and data out there, but for fat loss it is clear. No effective diet works without some form of carbohydrate restriction. Also, measure your waist instead! Your weight can stay the same for a week sometimes but if you lose a half an inch in that time it will tell you more regarding your progress. If you aren't losing inches and still losing weight you could be burning through proteins or muscle instead, which is never good.
