Nice work. I bet a lot of other guys like me would like to know more about where to start, and how to go forward.

My first thought.

Well done!

Trying to cut out sugar.
Down to 1 pop a day, 80 calories.

6 ft and 190............fully clothed.
Need to lose 10.

Messed up a foot, took forever to heal. That and bad back...........some days just walking in normal tasks a chore.

Could be heavier if I didn't adjust intake relative to expenditure.

Well done.

So simple. No sugar of any kind in anything. This includes sugar and all it's aliases found in every processed food. No grain of any kind, no potatoes. In the beginning I ate all kinds of less healthy meats and more over cooked vegetables. I eat fresher and better quality now and that's about it. Just as as big and diverse of a diet as possible with the most nutritious foods you can.

I eat lots of Kale,broccoli,and coniferous vegetables as close to raw as I can. I do kale shakes with coconut milk,banana, blueberry, yogurt,strawberry, avocado,and broccoli.

Seriously look into intermittent fasting and autophagy. I know it's what healed my knees and back.

I don't mean to be a downer, and I sincerely wish you all the best. But please speak with a doctor or nutritionist before you start one of these fad diets. Some of them are dangerous, and can be seriously harmful to some people.

Congrats and Yes eat right, eat less and exercise. I do the gym 3-5 days a week, 3 miles on the elliptical and small amount of free weights each time, takes 40 minutes each day, i lost 30 lbs, feel like a new man.

I agree completely but I am not on a fad diet at all. I eat as diverse a diet as possible with the exception of sugar and grain.

By limiting carbs and watching portion size I have been able to lose 60# and keep it off for three years now. I have been working out at the gym for 1-1.5 hrs. 3x a week for the last two years and walk a mile a day. At age 70 my a1c is 6.0 and my B/P is 114/72, balance issues are slowly resolving too. So overall I am pleased and congratulate those who have been able to achieve similar results. In addition to having been counseled by a diabetic dietician my doctor also referred me to a regular dietician, both have advised me regarding diet choices and portions. I have read Dr. Phil and Dr. Travis Stork's book and have gleaned info from both though I don't see myself following either one of their diet or exercise regimens.

Three cheeres to you

Good for you. Next time you start to slip back into your prior routine and need motivation, strap 3) 50# bags of dog food on your back and remember what it was like.................

Awesome!

You read the headline about intermittent fasting not being a fad diet on drudge today? Intermittent fasting and cutting out processed foodisn’t a fad, it’s pretty much common sense if you want to look/feel better.

Constantly feeding yourself processed foods and sugars throughout the day is a dangerous thing to do for years on end.

What I said was to please not start something that might cause you irreparable physical harm without consulting a medical professional. I'm surprised you'd take issue with that.

Nice. My wife and I are doing about the same via our Dr.'s guidance. We started a couple of months ago. I am down 25 with one of two BP meds gone, she's down 20. We both have another ~25 to go. We feel great.

Daughter states that she sees several people over 50 in the emergency room every month that are dehydrated, anemic and hypoglycemic from various diets they have been on. Usually they passed out while walking , biking or driving and suffered accident injuries because of their condition.

As Rocky stated always keep the Doctor in the loop and check in frequently.

Congrats OP thats a monumental life changing accomplishment!

Man these twinkies are delicious oh congrats.

R H Clark: I am happy for you and proud of you!
Good for you.
I am sure your life will be lengthened and enhanced - now if you could build a fire under me I could stand to loose about 50 pounds!
Again good for you.

Good advice Rocky. If you are on potassium or calcium supplement and increase or decrease due to a radical diet change, you could cause problems. Even a credentialed nutritionist would be a great resource to consult before you start. I don't see where any doc or nutritionist would have a problem with cutting out sugar.
