Diets have never worked for me, although I never tried WW! I don't consider LCHF eating a diet, as I consume as much food as I please, unlike most diets!
I have lost over 70lbs. since 2015, most of it during the first 12 months.
I was on WW years ago, and I remember that it worked. I don't know if WW is still on the point system, but one of the reasons I quit was because I was always hungry!
I just wanted to jump start my weight loss before my next doc appt. I lost zero lbs at my last doc appt. I didn't gain, but I didn't lose. I'm eating LCHF. Maybe I need to increase my fat intake, but I an only eat so much avocados and coconut oil.
Rather than go on a starvation diet with probably more carbs than your diabetic body can handle, you could explore intermittent fasting. There's also the "fat fast" which several members on the forum a few years ago did. The name is misleading. I means that you eat mostly fat, very few carbs, and no protein for I think 3-5 days. I'll try to find the thread and add it to this post.
Thank you for the link VeeJay. I wonder what happened to all those people who were on the fat fast. They had booku stars, but I don't see them posting anymore.
I looked at it, and it's probably something I could do for a day :vs_laugh:.
I do fast just about every evening from 8:30 pm until the next morning when I have breakfast. It's usually about 12 hours. I've also increased my cardio. Hopefully, I will show some kind of weight loss on my next visit.
You could extend your overnight fast to 16 hours. 16:8 is a typical IF. You in effect skip breakfast. I've done that in the past and had good results. I'm working toward doing that again, maybe 3 days a week.
I'm going to WW meeting for support, but I don't use their point system. Fruits = Zero Point is ridiculous! I'm following Keto to drop the last 30 pounds so I'm WW lifetime member, I'm attending WW for free now.
I should think the accountability and support with WW would be helpful.
