Being overweight and or having diabetes is a risk factor for cancer. My wife was 5’2” and 200lbs when diagnosed with breast cancer. She had a lumpectomy but it returned. She died.
After she was diagnosed stage 4 four years ago I put us both on a very low carb diet but it was too late for her. After about four months I went zero carb on the carnivore diet. I’m down 50 lbs and have a BMI of 24, blood work is excellent.
I don’t count calories but avoid carbs, eating meat, fish and eggs, drinking water or black coffee. It’s a very simple way of eating. I usually eat twice a day. I scramble 5 eggs for one meal, then have about a pound of meat later. The rule of thumb is to get 30% of your calories from protein. Or try for one gram of protein per pound of your ideal body weight.
That’s what I am shooting for. Good job! I just need to replace my coffee with beef broth. I can’t take coffee without sugar so if 1 goes they are both gone.
Sorry, about your wife.
