I eat three eggs each morning with bacon.
I try to eat at least 30 g of protein at each major meal.
I don't worry about butter or mayonnaise.
I have not lost weight.
My hgb A1C was 8.7 just before I started the diet. Now it is 7.7
That decrease is after decreasing fortamet (metformin) from 2,000 mg a day to 1,000 mg a day.
I am on crestor 5mg
Endur-acin 500 bid

I lost 80 pounds before my wedding in 2007 with with a 1800 to 1400 calorie diet.
My metabolism slowed down and I gained back 55 pounds over five years despite not exceeding 3,000 calories a day and exercising two hours a day. I began eating a lot of fruit.
I think those extra carbs were my downfall.
Thus I decided to try something new: The very low carb diet.
