Eat more good fat

Having recently had 2 back to back trips away I am pleased to find that my weight has increased only slightly over the 2 mths and I am already getting back to my pre trip weight.

Then I can continue to see that scale move on downward and feel even better than I do now.

The focus on calories at the expense of  mono oils and good fats ( saturated fats) has been a total mistake for those of us with insulin issues.

To get this right you have to forget everything you were ever told about eating fewer calories.

Yes fewer calories can help but is only part of the story.

The other part is to stay away from sugar in all its forms. And that includes starch, grains etc.

Those are just long chains of glucose molecules, so sugar in another format and the body digests it as glucose.

To lose the excess weight and keep it off ( which for us yoyo dieters is just as important) normal, 'eat everything in moderation' just does not work.

We have to make sure we are fat burners, not sugar burners. That means consuming a higher ratio of fats and oils protein and low starch vegetables.

Not just to lose weight but to increase a sense of well being and to finally understand what the cause is of obesity and to control it. If you are obese the tendancy to put on weight will never go away. But can be controlled by following a low carb diet.
