Stayed under 2000k, for the day, not what I usually did on TG DAY. Too much but a hell of a lot better than many past years. Average American downs 4500k on turkey day , I use to do at least twice that. While I seemed to hit a plateau as far as weight loss this week gaining 1lb, I did have one major success. I passed my…

The protein fast I was on was…

I'm Type 2, and have been working hard to lose weight for 18 months. Have found that the more weight I lose the lower my A1C goes. Started out at 13.5, and the latest blood work was 4.1.

Did the HMR fasting diet in the 90's. 500 calories a day for nine months. Lost a hell of a lot of weight, 285lbs, but I also lost my gallbladder. Hope your attacks are over, I still recall sitting on the floor of the shower with a bottle of jack, praying for the pain to stop. Quick weight loss and fasting is a quick…
