@farmerman,
In 3 months, without weighing myself until after that time, I discovered I lost 10 pounds doing the vlchf (very low carb, high fat) method of eating.
Lot's of leafy and most other above ground veggies (no other carbs other than that), 70% of calories from fat, moderate protein.
I'll be going to the doctor in April, so I'll see what my weights done by then.
Most importantly, my blood glucose is very much under control.
