Mr. mm wanted to lose weight and I told him that for every meal we had at home I’m provide two low carb veggies.
He also started cutting his white flour intake.
I suggested to him that when he eats, if he’s going to do pasta, eat the meats and the veggies first and fill up on those, and THEN do the pasta. Then he wouldn’t eat so much because he wouldn’t be chowing down on that when he was really hungry and eating too much as a result.
We have found that gradual changes are much easier to adapt to than a massive overhaul of the diet.

Actually, my friends and relatives who have gone on the Keto and then the Med diet at first got rid of the fabricated foods/lo cal and so called diet foods were the most successful.
Below is again what our family doctor at that time suggested to me.
“Finally, a friend with a similar pathway told me about the Keto diet.
I discussed it with my Primary Care Doc, who inspite of being 60+ was/is the same weight as his basketball days in college. He told me what to buy food wise and not to buy.
His advice was to throw away any processed food and carbs in our kitchem. Then, throw away any so called diet or low cal food.
Only buy food in the outer edges of a grocery store and stay away from any processed food with more than a few ingredients and any ingredients we with more than a couple of sylables.”
This MD said that what we were throwing away was like eating poison or tainted food. Get it out of your kitchen, storage and your home.
Those of us, who have followed his advice really had zero problems.
