More great info! I can relate to your issues - I ran about 16m a week and felt I could eat anything I wanted. I didn't gain weight probably because my metabolism was in hyperdrive. As I got older and slowed down to the point I couldn't run any longer, I put on 20 lbs. I literally starved myself to get down 10 lbs. But even with intermittent fasting it was still a problem because as I now know I was eating the wrong foods. Since March I've been on your diet approach and kept my carbs below 20g. No exercising besides golf and some baseball with grandkids and I've lost 20 lbs. It works!

Brian, I’ve never weighed more than 2/3 of your ideal, but from a health perspective (at almost 80 y, reading and experimenting – mostly on myself) I confirm your conclusions. When my diet doesn’t work, either I suffer some malady or lose weight or both. Often some malady name or description (sometimes with a candidate remedy name) prompts a search for a nutritional fix. That way I’ve cured almost a dozen maladies from a life with allergies to a heart attack. (Alas, that last I learned what would have prevented it, and am using the understanding to prevent another.)

Since goo always lies first about topical ideas (truth is buried among lies) I always use search.brave.com to get true results first.

True! I’m so thankful for your discovery of just one more way to attack Americans. They truly are addictive, but they weren’t always. Before the manipulation of wheat (and sugar), we could eat some every day. The Frankenstein-crap has to stop! God bless, Brian.🙏🙏

Please be more specific about the food to eat and not eat. I read plenty of articles on this, but very rarely are the specifics of what kind of food....wheat? Cereal, non-wheat bread, What? No bread at all? No sugar? At all, ever? That is very hard to do as it is in everything. Can you give you readers an idea of what you eat over a period of say, a week?
