I feel less hungry and feel better than I have in years in addition to having dropped 60+ lbs in the past 8 months.
I may eat breakfast on the weekends but it's no-/low-carb and it's not until 1000 or later. Eggs, bacon, sausage, in some combination, some different way. Or, if I'm feeling indulgent, maybe some waffles from almond flour, heavy cream or some other thing.
I still miss the carby-sugary [censored] that is basically a dessert (pancakes, french toast) but I don't miss it enough to eat it early in the morning and end up asleep by lunch. I'm too sensitive to sugars that I can't handle it anymore.
I used to miss the [censored], too, but not so much recently. It takes a while for one’s tastes and cravings to change, but once they do, it’s again hard to go back. In the past, I would show up to BBQ’s ready to pound down 2+ burgers, a hot dog or two and a litany of other snacks; now, I’m now satisfied by treating myself to ONE tasty burger, along with some other light snacking throughout the party.
With that said, my wife made me an egg (1) and ham (couple of deli slices) sandwich, on a toasted everything-bagel this morning, which was absolutely delicious. I don’t have the urge at all to eat a second, and I’ll likely be satisfied with some snacking and the rest of my shake ‘til dinner.
Having changed my diet, I’m down to just over 180# (6’ tall), I feel better, and I’m essentially off antacid meds. I chew a couple of TUMS of I eat greasy food too late at night, but that’s only every so often that it causes problems; usually after a long day, when I’ve got the munchies after having a couple of brewskies.
