I've lost 52.5 pounds since January on the low carb, high-protein diet. My blood pressure is back to normal, and my A1C is down from 8.5 to 5.

I snack on pork rinds daily, and eat meat for dinner every night.

I'm having to get rid of all my size 40 and 42 pants, and 3XL shirts!

GTH, you gluten-free, vegan, CommieLib, hipster jack wagons.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Can’t imagine what that’s like. Must feel pretty darn good. I’m just trying to give up the smoking...that’s bad enough!

Good for you!! I've been losing my "winter weight" the last two months and am down 22 pounds. Was in size 44 waist, am down to a 40, goal is to get back into 36's.

I stopped the carbs, quit drinking beer (the hardest part, I love a good beer!) and have been bicycling. Last Sunday did 30 miles in just under 2 hours. When I started 6 weeks ago I couldn't do 5 miles.

What a difference it's made! Sleeping better, more energy and am happy that the weight scale reads a little less every week.

Wife asked me why I quit drinking beer (I like a beer or two every day, unfortunately drinking these "craft" beers and belgian blondes are very high in calories!)

I responded "I like losing weight more than I do drinking beer.

“I've lost 52.5 pounds since January on the low carb, high-protein diet. My blood pressure is back to normal, and my A1C is down from 8.5 to 5.”

It's not just what you eat, it's how much you eat, and most importantly the number of calories in versus the number out. It takes more energy to convert proteins to available cellular energy, and this is one of the reasons why a high protein diet can lead to weight loss. There are other factors, clearly. I'm happy your blood pressure and A1C are down. There are most directly the consequence of the weight loss. Congratulations to you. Keep it up.

I have had the same experience. We have very similar diets. I had to get rid of my size 44s and am now between 36 and 38 pants. Carbs are the bad actor, and corn is the worst offender.

Anyone can lose weight with a simple diet plan, lower your caloric intake.

First off, "Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho"! is going to be the tagline on your headstone if you keep eating that early death food.

Second, why do you associate people who eat differently from you with being " CommieLib, hipster jack wagons"?, as you put it. When did what people eat become political? Pretty ignorant, if you ask me.

Wonderful.

Now if I could only convince my wife to let me eat like you do.
