This is the only diet that has ever worked for me...and I wasn't hungry while on it. there seems to be different types of metabolism among people, so if counting calories does't work for you maybe you are this type And it also works that afterward limiting carbs keeps the weight from coming back. A friend calls it the White Diet : eat nothing white : no bread, pasta, sugar, and so on...

That’s racist. It should be called “the diet of color”.

Does this include rice ? Because I eat white rice about a quarter of the time, complements of a healthy Chinese takeout menu. And my b/f is Japanese besides, the skinniest, longest lived people alive.

So were cavemen (if you believe in that sort of thing). The modern Starch-based diet is a man-made construct, and our bodies are not all equipped to handle the blood suger bombs that starch deploys into our bloodstreams at every meal. Type 2 diabetics should eliminate starch from their diets.

“there seems to be different types of metabolism among people,”-—to lose weight limit yourself to less than 50g carbs a day...less than 20g is better but more restrictive. Happily the weight comes off faster at less than 20g carbs so it is for only a short period of time... so that would count out rice..ha

Atkins works, and I’m eating more veggies than I used to, just that they’re different ones, called Foundation Vegetables (radishes, cukes, celery), just no bread, so, open-faced (and open-footed) bacon cheeseburgers, steak, chicken...
Thanks virgil283.

Cut out wheat. I discovered that I have a mild wheat allergy & cut it out a couple of months ago. Decades old issues cleared up right away, and although I’m normal-sized I lost weight for the first time since I was a teenageer.

And except chocolate cake, and chocolate chip cookies, since they’re mostly brown and dark brown. As for egg whites, they’re really clear, that is until you cook them.

Thank you! Calories in calories out concept is a joke. So is Big Govs food pyramid. I’m pretty sure the corn and grain lobby paid for that once upon a time.

Natives of El Salvador who live in the United States are the longest lived people in the US ~ lawyers are second!
The El Salvadorans seem to be of substantial Japanese background probably having been brought here direct from Japan in the debris fields of numerous tsunamis over the millenia.
So, first of all it's genes ~ and secondly, it's guile!
Noteworthy ~ Salvadorans like to eat bean/rice sandwiches ~ on white bread. Lawyers prefer tunafish and mayo on rye.

BTW, it's not exactly an allergy ~ has to do with genes ~ you have the originals ~ folks without a problem eating wheat are the mutants!
As we age those genes get to take over and protect us from loaves of bread, beer, and soy sauce.
Also makes shopping much easier ~ 10 minutes tops at any market on Earth!
Now, the bad news ~ you'll notice your sensitivity to wheat becoming more extreme the less of it you eat. We all eventually reach the point of worrying about where was that knifeblade, last, and recoiling in horror upon learning somebody cooked pancakes on the part of the grill our fried egg is now.

I’m Russian. It’s in the genes. My whole family lived into their 90’s.
