How can you do that? I already use Stevia. I like to grab a sammich for lunch. Nobody I know has been able to stay on a low carb diet.

FWIW, I have. The wife and I found low carb bread, hamburger buns, and occasionally hot dog buns at COSTCO. Called Natural Ovens Keto-Friendly Bread. Game changer.

if i can do it you can do it. i kicked cola and cookies and pastries, very little bread, work around carbs change your life...live longer!

low carb thin sliced bread if you must.
now if i want a sweet i eat a baked potato with butter or con on the cob both high in carbs but have fiber for lower net carbs plus potato skins very healthy. dont have to do it every day fudge/(cheat) once or twice a week.
yes lots of salads! canned tuna-albacore
do some research try to get a friend to help motivate you.

It’s not about carbs, it’s about insulin. Think of carbs as exercise fuel. One should only eat carbs before exercise. Walking takes care of the carbs from fresh fruits and vegetables. The exercise always needs to be AFTER the carbs, to restore a healthy insulin level.

If you want to eat pasta, you need to be a runner. 100 calories per mile. Two miles per plate.

Refined sugar and processed foods are NOT healthy. PERIOD. There are plenty of healthy, delicious alternatives.

It is difficult, but possible.

Pass up breads at dinnertime, no biggie.

Stay away from Italian foods, pasta is a killer.

Keep snacks like cookies and crackers to a bare minimum....................

I lost 60 pounds simply by intermittent fasting, you can eat what you want. I say simply but that doesn’t mean easy, but I bet for many people it’s easier than any other method. “Diets” are mostly BS, it’s all about your motivation. And you will have to be motivated one way or another.

Nobody you know can go on a low carb diet because they are addicted to carbs, and they don’t understand what they need to do, read the link - it is 13 pages by a medical doctor who explains in simple terms.

Your blood lipid parameters will improve. And a whole bunch of ofher stuff, just as important. I eat carbs, but not very many, they are like drugs. Good Luck!!!

Just say no to drugs. And most medications.
