This. It's not cheating like ozempic or meth. You must deprive yourself of a lot of things that made you fat. But if you can do it it DOES work. It works well.
It completely turned my life around. I was born fat. I was THE fat kid in my class. I yo-yo dieted for many years. Nothing stuck. I do like to exercise but that's not nearly enough. Once I started eating high-fat and low-carb meals I stopped snacking, I got full, I lost over 100 lbs, and I've kept it off. I have the occasional unignorable craving for something. And I'll have the thing. And I won't enjoy it as I once did. My body doesn't like dealing with bleached flours and corn syrup anymore. It fucks me up. And I had been living my whole life forcing my body to deal with SO MUCH bad stuff that I was constantly eating.
Better late than never. I wasn't ready to leave carbs behind the first times I tried. And I lived with people who always had bad stuff around. Too many temptations. Now I'm stocked with great foods and something like a can of Pringles won't tempt me anymore. Especially since I don't keep them around. I've made some awesome snacks with cheese, almond flour, and flax seeds. Taste just like Cheez-It crackers. But I mostly eat them with salads. Because I have no interest in snacking. It's the weirdest thing. I'm still, years into it, in disbelief about what a great way to live this is. But it continues to work.
