I know I would like to detox, get all the fast-food and sugar out of my system.
unless you are a drug addict, you do not need to detox. that is what our kidneys do.

Do I log after eating or plan ahead?
everyone does it a bit different. I log ahead, but then will adjust the numbers based on what i actually ate (quantity or item)

Should I try different diets or just eat less?
all diets are a way of reducing calories. I eat whatever I want, if i can fit in in my calories. including 6 oreos last night.

Can I ignore Keto and low carb and enjoy carbs in moderation.
you can take my carbs from my cold dead hands. Half my macros are carbs.

Palm-size portion meat, double size vegetables. Old school?
it works but a food scale works better

Small meals 5 x a day or 3 meals?
whatever you want

Liquid meals?
I like to EAT my food

Is diet coke still ok?
I've lost 130 pounds and live off diet coke

Is low fat still in? My arteries could use a break.
its just another way of reducing calories

I always wanted to try the Mediterranean diet.
go for it if you want to

Do I need a kitchen scale?
absolutely

I settled on the Mediterranean diet. My new motto for the future: "Eat half, walk double".
(Even though it's just chair exercise at the moment, long way to go till walking)

Bought a kitchen scale. I don't like it, the portions look pitiful and very small. 😢

No sugar and I still live? 😂

11 pounds down! Can you believe it?👀💕😍
