Too much weight loss with pre-diabetes diet

I mostly eat chicken, turkey and small amounts of beef. I used to eat a lot of red meat but have limited it in the past 3 or 4 years. Gluten free turkey subs sound OK if the bread is not bad but I've never had one. I haven't had a milk shake in a long time but when we want a treat, my wife and I head for the local Dairy Queen and get a small Blizzard. I can't do that too often because of the amount of sugar and calories in them. Do you like eggs and cheese? They and some other foods have a surprising amount of sodium in them and may be helpful to you for maintaining your weight. Here's a list I found - Top 25 Foods that Add the Most Sodium to Your Diet: https://sodiumbreakup.heart.org/top_25_foods_that_add_the_most_sodium_to_your_diet

@johnbishop My problem with dieting now is that I have read and more that if you have osteoporosis you need to eat more protein that is the normal recommended amount so I am trying to do that. Unfortunately, meat is calorie-dense even though I keep it to lean meats. I try to eat fish two times a week too, I'm drinking Fairlife 2% milk which has high calcium, high protein, and is lactose free, and try to eat yogurt and/or cheese. I am at that stage where I start every day out doing well, and then I get out of bed. 😉 I would love to lose 20 pounds but I would settle for 10-15.
Seriously, I am fine through breakfast but as the day progresses I go downhill. I may try the fasting method but I will definitely have to plan around it. I need to do something but these pandemic pounds don't want to budge.
@testudo Are you gluten intolerant, or do you have celiac disease? I have read in numerous places that unless you do actually have a problem with gluten you should not eliminate it from your diet. It is beneficial in some ways. Right now people are jumping on the "eliminate gluten" band-wagon who have no problem, and interestingly there are many people who do have sensitivities who don't know it and are eating gluten!
