GOOD FREAKING JOB!!!!!
PLEASE KEEP GOING.
After spending 6 months working in Wisconsin (I am from Alabama), my wife surprised me with a trip to Cancun. We are getting ready for a much needed vacation.
We want to look good for the Kinich Ahau (Sun God in the Yucatan) just in case WWIII happens.
My boss in Wisconsin recommended the Keto diet to get results quick.
The added benefit of such diet:
My cholesterol is 133.
Glucose is at 112.
A1C is back to less than 5.4.
I figured that the carbs were responsible for my added weight from the last few years after retirement from the military.
In those carbs there is a silent poison that most people don't even notice.
Sugar, I have cut my sugar intake to just a spoon full of ice cream with my grand children, plus the added sugar on products that I don't know.
In September 2021 I left Alabama weighting 180lbs. I started this diet in late January. After 1 month + days of Keto (sometimes just eliminating sugar and not bread because -12F average temperature is too freaking cold) I had dropped to 159lbs.
Please keep doing everything you have been doing.
DEPRESSION sucks. I suffer from PTSD after a few trips overseas and I know that it sucks.
Now you have a goal, a tangible goal that is in the grasp of your hands. After you get to your desired weight... then.... then you start helping others with their weight problems.
A couple more lines and then I will shut up. If you really want that slice of pizza, take a good bite, scrape all the good stuff off the remaining bread and enjoy that pepperoni, mushrooms, extra cheese. I have done that a couple times.
Thank you for letting me share a little bit of my life story.
