I know it is sick, but I got tired of some of the comments, so one time I actually replied that Chemo is the best diet plan available, then turned and walked away.I have friends that have gone through drastic weight losses in a few months or a year. Don't see them for months and when you do they look emaciated. Sadly, the first thing that comes to mind is chemotherapy.

Intermittent fasting 'RAISES your risk of an early death'
A study of 24,000 Americans over 40 found those who ate one meal per day were 30 per cent more likely to die from any cause in 15 years than those who ate three.www.dailymail.co.uk
Be careful cutting back too much on the carbs. You'll end up feeling like hammered dog crap. Stick with the complex carbs when you do take them in. Yesterday late afternoon I was feeling straight up like crap. Not really ill feeling but just tired and no energy or strength. I got to thinking about my intake for the day. I had 1 small GV vanilla yogurt and 2 scrambled eggs then 1 large chicken breast for lunch. Had drank 4 32oz bottles of water. That's all I took in for the day until I came home from work at 7pm. Basically I didn't take in any carbs and I was feeling itSticking in the 1850 calorie per day routine. Trying to eat clean proteins and reduce carbs. Staying away from most beef. Lean pork, chicken, fish are my main proteins.
Thanks. I have not gone KETO or eliminated carbs. Just cut back from my former eating habits that were heavy on processed pastas, rice, etc.Be careful cutting back too much on the carbs.

AWESOME, and my (now adult) daughter is a Type 1 diabetic, I can tell you that we have been tracking A1C levels in my home for almost 20 years, yes, a 7.2 is awesome. Doing a great job on weight, exercise, A1C, and overall health. Your story is motivational.I've got bad shoulder pain, so currently not exercising. But before that, I was walking at least 10,000 steps per day, and I've got my nutrition under control with the help of a performance coach. Keep in mind I'm diabetic, so this is specific to me, but I'm on 50% fat, 30% protein, 20% carbs. And of course, getting good versions of all those macros, not junk.
Mostly I've just been walking my butt off the last 6 years, and doing my best to keep my eating under control, especially the carbs.
So, a year ago my A1c was 12.9, 3 months ago 7.9
Drumroll please...
7.2 - the nurse practitioner said it was awesome
Just went on Jardence (sp?) to get my B.S. down just the last bit I need.
Weight wise - I am now down to 184 lbs, my top weight was 278 lbs, years ago. Down to a 34 waist now. Haven't been this thin and slim for decades.
I've picked a BHAG for next years, complete an obstacle race. So, I'm entered into the Spartan 5K Sprint, Oct 2023.
