You fellows seem to have a handle on this and I wasn't going to say anything......but heck....it's hard for me once I get started.
I've always struggled with being over weight ever since I got out of High School. I've tried all sorts of "diets" and I could lose weight but would end up gaining it back. I did do the Adkins diet one time ( I'm thinking it's a Keto type too). To be honest....I lost weight....eating cheese, bacon and pork rinds !!!!!! BUT after a while I felt like I had poisoned myself. My wife kept saying how odd my skin color was.......so I finally let it and the pork rinds go.
My problem is I LOVE to eat.......and eat lots and mostly stuff that isn't that good for me.
15 months ago my doctor told me it was time I "tired" to lose weight "again".....ugh. I had gotten up to 245......and at 5'-8" I was WAY too short!!!!. With a suggestion from a friend I hooked up with a company called Clean Eatz.........fellows.....I can't begin to tell you how that decision has changed my life. I was eating lunch there 5-6 times a week and started on their fresh pre-made meal plan. I went from 245..........to 155 in just a little under 7 months.......and the good part is......I'm still there. Their slogan is "It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle". I went from 5 bypasses ( about 4 years ago) to finishing 2nd place in my age group in my first 5K just a couple of weeks ago.
My doctor has been very impressed with ALL my numbers......so much so he's taken me off of most of my meds ( which I didn't take many anyway)
I know it's probably not for everyone.........but for me it's been a life changer.
