Anyway I've stopped all diet drinks and the cravings have diminished to pretty much 0.

Yeah, OMAD doesn't work for me, maybe it's an age thing. I just can't eat enough food at one go to maintain weight and find myself hungry, so that just doesn't work. My diet relies not on calories, but satiety. So basically, eating until I'm full and to maintain my metabolism I have to eat twice a day, pretty basic really.

Ok , lets say that it did cause some water retention, now what? I'm pretty sure over the course of the next 8 to 12 weeks we can find something else to focus on, that's all I'm saying. My weight shifts 3 or 4 lbs a day, when I use to actually use a scale regularly.

Elevated blood sugar levels can be reduced many different ways. As far as diet is concerned consuming a diet that focuses on protein and plenty of vegetables and minimizing starchy carbs/grains and sugar will lower the amount of sugars that are available to enable increases in blood glucose levels which is what facilitates…

I don't see a problem with sugar in a coffee every morning if your keeping it to a minimal everywhere else and the type of milk you use isn't going to matter or using cane sugar over regular. Also if some of your family members have diabetes it's still going to actually matter what your A1C is so maybe get a blood panel,…

Only between meals and that's why snacks were invented. :#

Seems to be the consensus of everyone trying it. I'm not carnivore but I've been keto for a dozen years and I have no desire to change that. Are you still on the lion diet?

The basic reason why authorities like the USDA and the WHO said and still do believe saturated fat causes heart disease is based on observational studies (epidemedoodly) where the people that ate the most saturated fat were in the percentile that were also the most unhealthy.

Personally I don't advocate for a vegan or vegetarian diet but if your beliefs run in that direction I suggest if your not aware of the shortfalls nutritionally, that you educate…
