Celebrating Weight Loss Success (Without Food) Jul 9, 2021 | By Tara Schmidt (@taraschmidt)Comment receiving replies
I’ve been battling weight since 4 years old on my first diet!
No diet works, low carb is the most successful for me.
I never really ate that much and never more than normal people,
I do have a sluggish metabolism from birth, my thyroid stays at the lowest side of normal, but in order to lose I have to eat under 1000 calories, under 20 -30 carbs per day, I intermittent fast 20/4 or 18/6,
And do as much exercise as I possibly can, considering a knee disability. All this and I’m still obese but loosing small amounts!
I’ve concluded that food other than a small plate a day,
Is for other people to enjoy not me,
Okay I am a bit bitter, lol!

I read two books that have changed my life and health for the better.
I have reversed Type 2 diabetes and am 50 pounds lighter with another 50 to go.
Dr Jason Fung (Toronto, Canada) is the author and explains the myth and realities of weight loss. I eat LCHF and intermittent fast. Understanding the how and why’s concerning insulin/sugar/carbohydrates/fasts…has been life changing.
Youtube, Facebook, and various media platforms have his information at absolutely no cost but your time.
And too… I’m not a exercise for exercise’s sake kind of person. I garden and do my household chores, staying active.
I was diagnosed with heart failure issues due to myocarditis so the breaking sweat workouts aren’t even a remote possibility…
I’m 67 and am planning on living my best life for its remainder!
