@SamHulick I used a low-carb/high-fat diet to lose about 80 lbs between 2012 and 2013 and have kept it off (within 5-7 lbs) for 9 years now. I generally eat whatever I want now, but I do a 16:8 fast every day and I keep glucose under control by eating fiber before carbs, walking after meals, doing kettlebell swings after a big dessert, etc.

A couple of times a year I do the Prolon Fast Mimicking Diet as well, to kill precancerous cells. A good side effect Is I usually drop a few lbs then too.
