I consider my diet to be Mediterranean, but I’m open to change. I eat just about the same thing everyday. Not all of this everdsy, but parts of it, Includes, eggs, Keto bread (I don’t advocate Keto. Don’t want it, but it’s ended up that I am consuming very few carbs, simply due to calorie counting) for avocado toast (1/4 fresh avocado), olive oil, sliced pears, sliced beets, lean protein (salmon, tuna, chicken, turkey….rarely pork or beef), whole grains, brown rice, veggies ( broccoli, cauliflower, peppers, green beans, cabbage, brussel sprouts, carrots) sweet potatoes, beans, limited nuts, nonfat yogurt and cottage cheese, unsweet almond milk, low carb popsicles. No cheese right now. And occasionally a glass of wine. I am careful with portion size and honestly…..I don’t know how to improve my diet. I’m open to any suggestions, though.

I have an online friend who has diabetes too and he bikes on actual bike, many miles daily….like 30 miles. He eats a very strict diet, yet he has had to do intermittent fasting to lose weight! Even with that he struggles. What’s going on?

I work out in gym and outdoor track 5-6 days per week. Cardio and strength training. I take fish oil and supplements for deficiency in B12 and D.
