Low carb

"My biggest problem is ability to concentrate at work as I try to lose weight."


If you keep thinking about food, low carb foods tend to keep you feeling full longer.
After Drew Carey, host of the Price Is Right TV show lost a ton of weight via a low carb diet, I went on one myself. Of course he can afford exercise gurus, etc and I can't.

I've lost 100 pounds by eating low carb and walking a mile or so daily.
By the way, I'm a diabetic and the weight loss has helped me cut from four injections a day of insulin to usually just my night time shot.
Plus my B/P has gone from a usual 220/90 to a pretty consistent 117/72.

I looked up low carb or no carb foods on the internet, made a list of suggested food items, and then did my own planning for meals.
