PMR Diet: Foods to eat and avoid

What has really helped me the past couple of years to keep my weight down is lowering the amount of carbs I eat and using intermittent fasting. There is another discussion on the topic that you might want to take a look at it. Nothing to do with PMR but it did get me on a healthier tract.
-- Low-carb healthy fat living. Intermittent fasting. What’s your why?

I happen to be a registered dietitian and I control my weight easily on a whole foods, organic diet with very little animal protein. Most of my calories come from whole carbohydrates, such as whole grains, sweet potatoes, and small, colorful potatoes. I do believe that this is the diet nature intended for us. Getting too many calories from fat can put you in a state of ketosis, which is not a healthy state for your body to be in. My 2 cent.

I'll have to look at this in more detail, but thanks for all the information. I'm not sure about the fasting aspect but cutting out carbs and sugar I know will help. I've been doing that for two days now and just had a sugar withdrawal...will keep going though. It's not so much with the weight for me, although I certainly could lose some, but getting my body back in a healthy balance. Just want to get off this darned Prednisone after almost 3 years. Your information is appreciated.
