GG! keep up the good work!
a few years ago i was finally able to lose 50lbs i had been wanting to lose for a while... i switched to beans... originally a pinto bean pot (with onions and smoked pork neck bones when i could afford them)... i kept the pot
rather plain, though, so i could add variety when i wanted... variety like adding hot sauce or horseradish to my bowl... or BBQ sauce... or most anything else to help liven and change the flavor so it wasn't SOS all the time...
anyway, keep up the good work!
i recommend everyone to stop eating like cattle. stop loading up with carbohydra tes. you will feel better, you wont feel like you are
starving when you arent, thinks will improve even if you arent fat.
so i packed on some pounds during covid and became even fatter!
out of nowhere, my blood pressure turned to shit. i was a walking timebomb. it was at seek medical help immediately levels. i was no longer invincible.
so i stopped eating like cattle and went low carb.
i dont want to call it keto, but i'm eating meat and green leafy vegetables and i'm not eating tons of carbohydrates. also drinking more water and i only have one soda a day. and i'm walking for an hour. i get cardio on the way back because it's up a very steep hill
so after about 3 weeks i am 20lbs lighter. i usually drop 2 lbs a day.
i've dropped weight before, but not by diet. i'm getting a little bit of loose skin which i dont like. hopefully when i begin weightlifting again that will clear up.
i recommend everyone to stop eating like cattle. stop loading up with carbohydrates. you will feel better, you wont feel like you are starving when you arent, thinks will improve even if you arent fat.
and a lot of the time i am eating a lot. i have a full plate of food and it's good. i'm not eating small portions. i saw my ex gf go through keto and she hated it. i have no problems with a keto like diet so far.

That's great, congratulations on your success!
disqualification. However, I knew several people who had put their diabetes reverse (i.e. remission) with weight loss surgery.
No way I wanted surgery, but I did a Google search looking for a way to get the same benefits of weight loss surgery without the surgery. The rabbit hole that led me down quite literally changed my life.

Drink water for 21 days. It's true what they say, it takes 21 days to break a habit.
have plenty of snacks in between by the food industry. Breakfast wasn't a thing until fairly recently. It's no wonder there is an epidemic of

people probably ate when they are hungry which is probably shortly
after waking up so they can do work. so you could call that breakfast.

I guess I should have said it wasn't a regular thing until recently with "recently" being relative to how long human civilization has existed. Yes, breakfast existed because it is the meal with which you break your fast. However, it probably wasn't usually eaten in the morning until the industrial revolution when workers of all social classes began having regular work
In the 20th century, beginning with Corn Flakes, the cereal industry began marketing breakfast as "the most important meal of the day" to working moms who needed to feed their kids before sending them off to school. Then Edward

I've noticed that there's a good number of people who simply aren't hungry at that time. Going by what my wife does, it's probably because they
eat later in the day so they can get through the night without any
I always have a breakfast, but then I don't eat after 5pm. So I have a good 14 hour fast before getting to eat again.

Low carb works because it lowers insulin levels. Insulin is the primary hormone which controls whether you are burning fat or storing it. Hormones, like any other drug, when used constantly require higher
levels to achieve the same effect - aka insulin resistance aka type 2 diabetes. Lowering insulin reverses resistance, not injecting yourself with more insulin.
The problem is that a consistent low-carb diet is difficult to sustain
for long periods of time for most people and when you return to
"normal" eating, you gain it all back.
We've been socially conditioned to eat three (or more) meals per day
and to have plenty of snacks in between by the food industry. Breakfast wasn't a thing until fairly recently. It's no wonder there is an
epidemic of obesity and diabetes.
Our grocery bill is next to nothing and we have found several new
hobbies to do with all of the time we save not preparing, eating, and cleaning up after meals. Meals are now a special occasion which we
reserve for socializing with friends and family.
i'm sure most people ate shortly after they woke up. they were hungry.

yeah it's good to not eat that late. i just eat every 5 hrs or
so. i dont like to go to bed on an empty stomach.

That is the reason I eat breakfast, not because I was told to. If I don't eat breakfast, I can never get started for the day and also get really grumpy.

I would add a couple of other benefits - ketones, created as a byproduct o a low-carb diet, lower your appetite. And, lowering the blood sugar swings by limiting processed carbs and sugars helps with the mood swings and cravings/urges that throw you off other diets. At least that's the case fo me.
When I'm eating low-carb I find it easier to avoid cravings and eating whe it's time to eat versus eating when I'm hungry. Food has become very habitual to me and I'm conscious of why I want to eat now.

What a thought-provoking response. You've clearly done your research.
yeah i have. and i'm correct. also i've checked out reddit. tons of fags.

I discovered the work of Dr. Jason Fung, a nephrologist who
works with diabetics with kidney. He has written a couple of
books, runs a YouTube channel, and a weight loss support
group called The Fasting Method.
I bought two of his books: The Diabetes Code and Obesity Code..
My wife and I started following Dr. Fung's plan just before
Thanksgiving 2019 and by New Years I was off of all of my
diabetes medications, including insulin, except for
metformin. Plus, I'd lost almost 30 lbs.
Throughout the pandemic, we have managed to keep it off and
recently started adding in longer fasts (48-72 hours) to
continue losing weight, albeit at a much slower pace than we
initially we saw.

Absolutely agree. Low carb and fasting produce the same result - a ketogenic state, lower appetite, and lower insulin. The problem with only a low-carb diet is that it can be very difficult to maintain to the degree required to stay in ketosis. Most people vastly underestimate how many carbs they are actually consuming.

Just not in meetings. If you can't go 50 minutes without suckling on your water bottle, something is wrong. :)
The problem is, Keto just isn't sustainable. You can't "cheat" with keto ke a good 7-14 days to reset your system to fall back into ketosis.

Right, that's kind of what I was saying. However, if you take keto/low-carb and add fasting, you get a multiplier effect. With a water fast, most people are in ketosis after 16-24 hours. It depends on how insulin resistant you are, but the good news is regular fasting reduces insulin resistance.

Regular fasting also reduces your metabolic rate, so your body burns fewe ries at rest than it does normally.
