Getting back on the Wagon again.

Good Luck to you, I'm not one for the new year new me bull, but that's how the timing worked out this time around for me. I'd lost nearly 20 lbs last spring and put it all back on for various reasons. I work a desk job now, which is MUCH less active than I'm used to. I'd like to say I'm cutting everything unhealthy but I'm being realistic, this has to stick forever so I'm just trying to make small adjustments that I can live with and stick to it.....hopefully forever.

I have lost 30lbs on a few occasions, and once I lost 55. Things you did at 30 aren't as easy at 50. My latest attempts at a getting on a workout schedule were thwarted by joint pain. I was pretty much resined to being tired, overweight and unhappy. So randomly (and probably in desperation) I started the keto diet which I thought was kind of crazy. Long story short, I love it. I am down 20lbs in 6 weeks and it was quite easy. I am in much less pain (i assume inflammation), way more energy, and my mood is much more stable. After three days, my sugar and bread cravings were completely gone. I started following Dr Berg and Dr Jason Fung. Understanding the role of insulin/insulin resistance has given me back my life and I am certain I can finally and permanently stay out of the yoyo-diet game. Anyway, best of luck to you.
