Low carb eating actually works

It still doesn’t work for everyone - listening to your body - in some people their signals are broken, even eating a clean diet with no processed foods.

The ones I have seen say this over and over are the ones that don’t try. Why do i say that because it was me for decades before I got desperate enough to open my mind to what I really had to do. It doesn’t happen over night it happens because you are desperately needing change and you start making those changes.
You have to want to change and you have to become desperately for change. It starts when you realize that doing the same things over and over isn’t ever going to work. It starts happening when you really search your soul and thing back at what started your evelance of disaster. That is when I realized that eating factory created food, fast food, drinking soft drinks even diet soft drinks was my problem. Then I search my mind about what the drug companies and doctors pushing drugs were doing to me.

Supposedly, allulose increases GLP-1, as does inulin. Been testing both with mixed results. Initially, 2 tsp of allulose (+ 1-2 tsp of inulin after a while) seemed to go a great job at making me less hungry. The effect now, after a few weeks of using this 4 days a week, has basically gone away. Still stronger on the third day than on the first, but not nearly what it once was.

This one for instance:

You are projecting your own experience onto others and to assume they “didn’t try” or “aren’t deperate enough” is unfair. You are blaming them and that is not very supportive - we are all different.

I am happy for you that it works that way for you because so much simplier than trying to figure out what and how much you should eat.

I will add that us women folk have the additional challenge of menopause to deal with - an extra monkey wrench in the works, so to speak.

Well as we men lose our Testosterone and while it isn’t the same it is the same. We lose muscle and muscle tone. And we gain fat and get the belly. My wife made the same comments you are making until she started trying what I was doing. No she can’t walk the speed that I do but she walks with me on at least 2 days a week. Yes I slow down and make those my rest days. She has her weight controlled. Like me her weight isn’t where the charts say ls she should be but she is healthier than she was she has gotten off a number of the medications she was on. I still say it can be done but it more than likely want be perfect but perfection is a pipe dream.

What is low carbs? For some they say 20 carbs a day! For me low carbs is 125 carbs a day, you see there was a time I was eating an average of almost 300 carbs a day. A low carbs or any diet is what actually works for the individual. For me the diet that works is the diet I was raised up on, real farm fresh food, farm fresh milk, butter, beef, chicken, pork, eggs vegetables, fruit, and even honey for sweeteners. I was 21 and in boot camp before I was introduced to processed food, and what it did to me was make me fat and sick. But I got use to it and addicted to it. It took me almost 45 years to come to the realization that factory convenient foods and prescription drugs are what has screwed the people of this world over. And it was all for the love of money.
If you want to feel better even as a senior person go back to eating real farm fresh or as close to farm fresh food as possible. And I have heard all of the excuses and I just have to shake my head at so many that have been brainwashed by our media advertisements, that claim that the easy no work way is the best. I say BS
