And everyone is different on the diet. Low carb doesn’t work for me. If I eat 25 carbs a day, I crave them LIKE CRAZY. So zero carbs is where I live. I got tired of inflammation and sinus issues and sore muscles and all that stuff. So I changed to meat, eggs, and a little cheese. That’s all I eat unless I cheat. Weight falls off, A1C drops, no inflammation, sinuses clear up. But most of all, I could eat 2 ribeyes for supper if I wanted to, and still lose weight and feel this way. Sometimes I skip lunch, sometimes I grab some wings or something. Usually I’m not hungry so I just work through lunch. I like fizzy stuff so I drink club sodas. LaCroix or whatever. They used to be disgusting but I love them now. I can eat 10 fried wings for lunch and a 20 oz ribeye for supper and weigh half a pound less than I did yesterday. Average weight loss has been 2-5 pounds a week after the initial 30lb drop. I like meat so it’s an easy diet for me. A little expensive eating out, but it’s the price I pay to feel good.
