Since I started this I guess I should fess up also. A couple years ago I was diagnosed with pre diabetes. I weighed about 215' and I am 6'0.
I did a lot of research on it and decided NO WAY was I going to take the meds and then more meds to combat the other side effects from all the meds combined.
So I went on a crusade to change my habits. No more big meals before bed, maybe a sammie, no sides, I only eat lunch and a late nite snack or sammie.
I am a former brewer and love rich dark german beer and craft brew, lots of calories and carbs. I drink 3 - 4 beers a night, so I did some research on that also. I used to buy Sam Adams, very high in both. I found that Miller light was way lower in both and switched. It tastes like crap but I drink it with v-8 to cover up the taste, lol.
I don't eat many "white" things like potatoes, rice, bread ETC. I love soup and try and eat that for lunch and sometimes dinner, homemade of course. I love chicken so I eat a lot of that smoked, my favorite is thighs cured with TQ.
I just weighed myself and the result was 175'.
I need to get another A1C test as soon as I get some insurance.
Time to figure out the snack for tonight, I had smoked chicken/ wild rice/ mushroom soup the last 2 nights, time for a sammie I think. HMM, turkey, beef, or pork? What a problem to have, huh? All good and home smoked.
I wish you all that are trying to lose weight good results. You can do it!
