All I know is once I dropped sugars, wheat, starch, most fruit and all high carb veggies from my meals I have lost 41 pounds and have gotten my self back to fighting weight.....Ham 'n cheese omelets, scrambled eggs with bacon . Snacks of turkey or chicken. All the brisket, steak and pork one can desire and weight still falls off slow and steady. Not what per se yer eating , just how one prepares and cooks it.

I still have a small baked potato , slice of fresh baked bread or a slice of desert now and then. I just limit such stuff to twice a week or so...... certain things about the low carb style of consuming food has given me more energy, less weight on my frame and thus has led to less pain and stress related health problems for my back and knees also.

I hate the word diet as diet has never worked for me . Having run 6 plus miles a day for 26 years I was used to eating what I wanted without worry. An injury that caused me to be a bit more sedate in my activities put the pounds on as I ate like I was still running that 6 miles a day.

Older age and sudden stops have just caused me to adjust and the low carb route is working for me now........no problems at all. Blood tests and recent physical was first in 10 years that all was within the set limits.

It's good to be average again..........:o)

Stay Safe !

I'm with you Squantos ~ my wife and I both have lost weight eating fewer carbos ~ in fact I'll be barbecuing a couple of large fillet mignon steaks and serving them with large tossed green salads consisting of two kinds of lettuce, tomatoes, celery, two types of bell pepper, mushrooms and onion ~ covered with crumbled fete cheese and fete cheese salad dressing.

You have done remarkable my dear friend in your eating and workout habits.. and that will give you a much better life, not to mention all of those side benefits that we seldom mention.. wink, wink..

Keep it up, it really does come easy after a while, a short while in most cases.. Keep us informed.. :)
