Sorry I disagree. I was over 350 lbs 2 years ago. Down to 178 now & been stable +/- 5lbs for past 9 months. I completly removed sugar and 90% carbs. My diet consists of meat (any kind i want) , vegetables ( green leafy & cruciferous) , berries , dry roasted nuts & zero sugar dairy . No Processed foods! I try to get as close to raw as possible. Not keto, just refucing carbs to as close to zero as possible.
Feeling healthier than i have in decades. No brain fog, swollen joints and reduced pain levels. Reduced metformin from 3/day to zero. My blood sugar has not been over 130 since i got off the drugs. Cholesterol good and bad down to point I'm going off statins at next dr vist. Blood pressure normal for the last year. Bp was so bad I was close to daily hypertensive crisis for past 30 yrs. I had to completely replace my wardrobe. 4x down to large & 48 inch waist down to 29.
I started by going through my refrigerator and cabinets tossing everything with sugar. This left my kitchen nearly empty because almost every product has sugar or hfc's. I only shop the outside sections of store. Completely bypass bakery section! My only concession to baked goods is sugar free cookies.
Thanks! Once i was finally told i had diabetes i immediately stopped eating sugar. Also zero alcohol for 3 yrs now.
It was easy i retrained myself to look at sugar & carbs the same way i would look at a bottle of arsenic. Once you realize how bad refined sugars are it becomes second nature. There are alot of fruits and veg that are high glycemic (high fructose) that i lump into the poison category. Anything on a label that ends in OSE are foods to avoid.
