Yep. When my husband was diagnosed with diabetes, I changed the content of our meals to one of low carbs and reduced added sugar. He lost 25, but I lost 35 pounds. My doctor insisted I gain back ten of it so I added ice cream back into my diet. Neither of us were extremely overweight but both could have afforded to lose 20 pounds or so.
I don’t understand why people don’t just switch to lower carb meals and reduce the sugars to lose weight. It is not that we cut out all of them entirely. It is not that hard to do.
I now regularly do 36-hour fasts, and the thing is, I actually feel so much better, and I have to force myself to eat, when the fasting period is over.
