    Yes, I started my journey June 5th. It was after a health scare of bad liver results and my weight topping out at 130.5 kg (actually more, but that's close enough).

    But it was really the pre-diabetes and liver results that did it for me. I was told I had one 'last chance' to change it around through lifestyle change, as otherwise I would need to get on a lot of medication.

    My dad had diabetes, and it was a bad experience. He became blind when my sister and I were in our early teens, and he had a number of strokes and spend many years in a wheelchair.

    In essence I follow a very low carb diet, but I do not do any calorie restriction. Sometimes I eat a lot, sometimes I eat little. Because I am insulin resistant, my hormones dont respond like with a healthy person. I am trying to develop a natural feeling for hunger and satiety.

    I eat typically 5 eggs for breakfast, in butter. Sometimes I eat bacon or other meat. During the day I have meat dishes, often with (non starchy) vegetables, but not always. I do eat salads but rarely without any meat or cheese. I do like cheese, but it has to be quality.

    I try to eat not too late, so that I have a fasting period of 12 - 14 hours.

    Very important - I cut out most of processed food. This includes fine restaurant food. I cut out processed meat, industrial seed oil and artifical fats. I cook with lard, butter and other animal fats. I only buy grass fed meat and buy pasture raised whenever I can. I get my meat, eggs and butter from a farm in Idaho (https://sevensons.net/).

    I should eat more fish.

    You are welcome to look at my food diary. I keep it up to date every day.

    I was (am?) totally addicted to bread, pasta, snacks, chips ... you name it. And I used to drink alcohol most days. The challenge is to break that addiction ... once you have broken it, it becomes easier. But that first step is hard, and I would be presented by a big plate of toasted cheese sandwiches, I could eat it all, and still feel hungry!

    Thank you for this visual reminder, and congratulations! When I was first diagnosed with diabetes, I lost 30 lbs. and was able to get off blood pressure medicine and almost ready to quit Jardiance. Then my boyfriend needed surgery, and all the surrounding stress sent me right back to the "comfort" of sweets. I regained most of what I'd lost, but now I'm back on track. Again, thanks for your inspirational photos and much continued success to you!
