re: #42 goddamnedfrank

As someone who has lost 30 lbs in approximately the last 4 months by walking a shit ton of miles per day on a keto diet this shit rings so fucking true.

My major motivation was test results that indicated I was sliding into pre-diabetes, and if I’m being honest I’m going to keep this going for another 40 lbs if I can. I’ve gone from a BMI of “obese” to “overweight” and would really like to dip into normal again, but the absolute last goddamned thing I’m gonna do is fast.

Good for you. I did not properly start adjusting diet until my A1C was high enough my doctor doubled my Metformin dose. And I was walking 10K steps/day and not really getting things under control. With the adjustment in medicine and diet I lost 15-20 lbs and also got the A1C into “controlled” range at least. Goal now is to try to lock both the exercise and diet regimes into a true habitual mode so that they feel “regular” and not like a chore. And I wouldn’t mind taking off another 15-20 lbs as well.
