I tried Keto but I can’t stand the taste of eggs or meat . It makes me want to grab a sweet as a palate cleanser .

The best thing for me was fasting and just restricting times to eat rather than foods to eat

It's the careful thought you're giving to what you eat, not the times. But if it works, awesome!

For me fasting is the only thing that works.

Same. I'm no longer a rice/pasta/bread person and I don't miss it, but I refuse to give up fruit and root veg.

Nor should you! I can’t imagine a stupider weight loss plan than “don’t eat fruit or root vegetables.”

I echo what others have said about sugar and refined carbs.

I’m 53, 5’5” and 115. I was pretty stable at 125 but my last physical I had elevated A1C and was advised to cut down on carbs.

My diet now is basically:

No breakfast (this is nothing new, I’ve never been a breakfast person, even when I was a kid)

Coffee 1 hour after waking

Salad with 8 oz protein at lunch

Piece of fruit and full fat yogurt for snack (sometimes apple with chunky peanut butter)

Dinner is a salad, at least 8 oz chicken, fish or steak, side of veggies.

If I’m still hungry I have nuts, yogurt and fruit at night a few hours after dinner.

It stinks not eating bread or pasta or rice but I do have them if I’m at a restaurant and it’s a special occasion. Same goes for wine - I have a glass if it’s a special occasion.

I didn’t intend to lose weight but I did lose 10 pounds and I feel good so I’m sticking to it.

That's not sustainable.

I can do all sorts of things that cause a dramatic weight loss, but I've got kids, pizza, pasta and bagels are on the menu... even if I can avoid them some days.
