I'm a sugar addict... if I go off book - eat just an ice cream sandwich...for example..I might end up eating 5 in a row...and then get depressed and eat more junk food. If I even eat something like a potato--my cravings for sugary stuff goes up. When I flip the switch into ketosis - I have to remember to eat, hunger doesn't exist, cravings aren't usually a thing except sometimes mental stuff when I see food on tv, or while I'm out and about. I've lost 35 lbs since May 1st when I started Keto. I was 515 when I started.. my highest weight was 690 but I lost 190 after having gastric sleeve surgery. I actually lost a bit more..got down to 460 but have been yo-yoing a bit between 460 and 510'ish... We just had our first baby, and while I have no health issues (blood pressure, sugar levels, cholesterol are all in top percentiles - I literally have no weight related co-morbidalities and the only negatives are needing a CPAP for sleep apnea, low energy levels, and joint pain -- all of which are a LOT less now than in 2012 when I had surgery. Years after surgery I still can't eat a ton at a meal- I can't eat a whole burger for instance at Red Robin, I split it 50/50 with my wife -- but my biggest problem was soda, you can definitely drink a lot of calories.. I think just cutting out soda and trying for less sweets I'd probably lose a good deal of weight over 1-2 years. But I'm impatient and have upped my game lately. I also have been lifting weights and walking 10k steps per day. I can't see a low-fat diet ever really working for me... just because I'll probably always be addicted to carbs, which means over-eating if I let myself have the sugar, or carb-loaded foods.
