Hi Peakab00! Welcome!
You know you'll lose weight on IP, so it sounds like by "success" you mean "how to maintain after IP". I, too, have a desk job. Can you work in some exercise? Walk to the farthest bathroom, take the stairs, park further away, walk your errands at lunch, etc? And can you come up with strategies to not hit the candy bowl? Come up with a different way to reward yourself, instead of candy. Or a different thing to do when bored.
Or- maybe work intermittent fasting into your routine? I have been exploring IF myself, and they said that people that use intermittent fasting eat less overall (because they don't fully make up for the missed meals in their subsequent meals).
Or- after IP stay on a relatively low-carb diet and allow yourself so many carbs per day, which could come from candy if you wanted? That way you don't have to deprive yourself? But remain in the 150g of carbs or less weight loss maintenance zone?
Those are my thoughts.
