So, kinda fell off the food wagon again. fasting didn't work for my life. (read : me being lazy with no willpower) I recently got some blood test results that require I change things. (now borderline diabetic)
So, my changes are cutting out real sugar as much as humanly possible. (false sugars are still a thing like Sprite zero n whatnot ) Also, I'm looking at carbohydrates. I'm trying to stay around 60 to 80 grams of carbohydrates per work day. Thinking about staying at or under the daily rate the CDC recommends of 225g of carbohydrates per day on the weekends because being too restrictive will make me stop. I know that from years of data from well... this app lol.
So yeah I'm calling it 'kinda keto '. I'm doing this without looking at calories. I will eat what I want but carbs will be persona non Grata. I've seen that without carbohydrates in my food it tends to keep me full longer so...maybe it stops some of the over eating too.
So far I've replaced bread and wraps with green leaf lettuce. I believe some fast food places call this 'animal style' lol Also replaced rice with riced cauliflower. As long as it's flavoured up it does the same thing as rice or couscous. I hope this works. This isn't vanity anymore. It's become a health issue.

If I were you, I’d still watch the calories. Because if you’re going into a “keto” type of diet, that means, you’ll end up eating more fats. And fats in very very very small quantity are powerful in energy. When it comes to fats, make sure you go for healthy ones (monounsaturated, polyunsaturated and omegas) - like salmon, avocado, nuts and olive oil…. and avoid saturated fats (usually found in butter, milk, cheese). Sugar… would be better to cut it, but you’ll find sugar in pretty much everything, but try eliminating sodas and juices. I do a lot of lemonades with added stevia. It’s healthier. There’s no fake additives. I use organic fresh lemons, add some mint leaves too. It’s refreshing, and so much healthier. Good luck.

What has helped me was switching to whole wheat everything - breads, pastas & rice - and cutting down the serving sizes of all instead of cutting them out completely in the beginning. I cut what the box says is a serving size of rice in half and used bagged salad mix as a filler in meals. Instead of a sandwich with 2 slices of bread I'd have an open faced sandwich on 1 slice or eat a whole wheat pita. Hope that helps! Good luck!!
