Damn the genetics!

Rice, potatoes and pasta gone
Wine now a reward for exercise days.
Reversing bad family genetics in the works

I think I'm reading this post right.

Damn you genetics for shooting my puppy, slashing my tires, and making me take the elevator!

If those starchy foods cause you to binge out of control, then go ahead and avoid them. If not, no reason you can't make them fit into your calorie goal.

You should be able to drink wine whenever it fits your calorie goals, but if it motivates you, awesome.

Good luck!

Lol! No binge eating just recipe modifications.
The sad fiddle story in short: dad passed of massive heart attack (diabetes, high cholesterol) brother just diagnosed with diabetes, high triglycerides (10 years older) and I'm borderline (blood work 2 weeks ago)
My male family history is more like "better to burn out hot then fade away"

Gotcha. I wish you the best of luck!
