Healthy eats

[duckhunt]

No real formula, meaning I don't count, etc, but staying lower carb to try and get the A1C down to the point I am off meds.

I have had good success with intermittent fasting - I am a rules kind of guy, so if my rules say eat only between 10am and 6pm, that is easy to do (I cannot cut myself slack). I don't know about the impact of the fasting on my system, but it does keep my meal size down and I don't end up making love to the Frigidaire every evening about 8pm.

We are also working to eat clean. I think the closest to processed food in our diet is hummus, which for some crazy reason has made it to the top of our snack list (dipping with carrots).

I miss my beer. Love a good Stout, IPA, Amber, Red, ESB, Pilsner, ... But have to just say now, and even severely limit the nonalcoholic stuff.

Only drawback I have experienced so far is the joy of constipation. Increasing fiber slowly to reach optimum without swinging too far in the 'd' direction.

20 down, 40 to go (a very skinny guy under this fat).

I have type 2 diabetes. Last two checkups have been good so only meds for that is ozempic. Hopefully start to wean off of that slowly if the doc OKs that.
Metformin is the most evil crap man has ever invented.
