cutting back to loose weight ??

has anyone cut back in order to loose weight? how long did it take for you to REALLY see a difference?

when covid hit i became a 5-6 beer a night guy. and good lord, i blew up. between drinking everyday, and my excessive eating ( i could drink 1 beer and clear the kitchen out lol, i find it weird cause im and everyday pot smoker, and could care less about eating food when im stoned,i eat once a day if im not into the beer.)

any way 4 years ago i was 190-200lbs … im now pushing 230-235lbs.. so this last 2 weeks i have only drank on sunday. last sunday i only had 3 tallboys. and ive lost a whopping 4 lbs (kinda saying that sarcastically, but its still a win i guess)

im curious what every one else’s experience is with this
