By the end of next week I will be 20kg down from my start weight.
Thats 44lbs lost since Feb 19.
Its not been a steady weight loss. Sometimes I have stayed the same weight for weeks due to holidays etc.
However when I am home I can usually see the scale going slowly down.
That is a much better way to do it rather than the crash diets of before with rebound weight gain after.
I am down 4 dress sizes.
I have been finding that keto with banting is what works for me. I have to have fat and good oils in my diet to stop the cravings and overeating associated with carb consumption.
I keep to 20gms of carbs a day from above the ground vegetables.
I have never been that hungry in the morning but always believed that if I ate a good breakfast it would stop me eating to much later in the day. Thats not true. Eating in the morning increases my insulin output and I am more hungry later in the day when I eat breakfast.
Thinking that milk in my coffees all morning was not an issue, low fat and not so many calories was also a mistake. Since switching to black rooibos tea after my first coffee and cream of the day has made me much more aware of what I am consuming. Milk is very insulemic. Why babies get fat on it.
I try to only eat twice a day. Lunch of bone broth with added fat and veg for lunch around 12. Then dinner at 6 with meat and veg cooked in oil or butter.
Am happy to see that scale drop 300 to 500gms a week on that regime.
My fasting insulin has reduced from 25 to 10.5.
So this is the way I was always supposed to be eating.
I will be setting up a facebook page and will put a link to it on a later blog.
