Thanks @LeeAase! I downloaded the Cronometer app mentioned by @rjwilliams in the LCHF discussion ( https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/low-carb-healthy-fat-living-intermittent-fasting-whats-your-why/) and haven't quite got started with figuring out how to lower the carbs or what target I should be using for the daily amount of carbs. I happened to have a really good day yesterday and a new weight low this morning of 209.2. I had my Mayo Clinic overnight refrigerator oatmeal tweaked a little by using 1/2 of one of my homemade yogurts (your recipe!), 2 tbsp of unsweetened applesauce, 1/2 cup rolled oats, about 4 oz of 2% milk and topped with a handful of fresh blueberries and a few strawberries. Then when I put the recipe into the chronometer app it told me it was 26 carbs. That was breakfast then I had 1/2 cup of riced broccoli, an egg salad sandwich and 4 sausage links for my last meal. Then I had one of my wife's homemade bars with more calories than I want to count. I normally only plan my breakfast since my wife is already at work when I eat. The intermittent fasting has gotten me here but it really slowed down when I set my new goal of 200 lbs. I do think lowering the carbs and eating more fat is the answer. I just need to figure out what daily carb amount works best and plan my meals a little better.
