Today is my 36th day. It does not get easier, there will be days where you will miss sugar, other days not so much. My body cannot tolerate sugar, so I have to do it for health reasons. I am working towards fixing blood glucose fluctuations.

Awesome.
I am still going strong since August. Lost around 29 pounds so far. The best thing is the amount of energy I now have. My goal for everyday is to walk atleast get 5000 steps specially if I cant get my gym on.

channay? Carbs?
daal? Carbs?
I thought those were beans and protien?
They are big time carbs and then we eat them with more carbs like roti chawwall. Although they do have a great protein content. You have to look at satiety factor also, meat will keep you full for a longer time. Now if I make biryanni I put a lot more lean meat and vegetables and less rice. Stay away from things that spike insulin that will result in fat storage. Some carbs have heavier glycemic load.
What do you guys think about dairy? Full or Low Fat? Or no dairy at all?
We do 2 percent dairy, there has been research that no fat dairy does not make you lose weight. A little bit of fat can make you feel full for a long time. Milk has a lot of sugar also so if you have to watch sugar content than sugar is sugar be it in fruit or milk . My rule is no liquid calories, I would eat some cheese. I buy frozen string beans in bulk and you can have a go at them all you want. It adds bulk to your meal but not calories.
If you eat a large steak and a plate full of beans your calorie intake might be close to a bowl of cereal but will keep you full for a long time.

As of this morning I am down 39 pounds. The saga continues......
No, diet soda is very rare (once a month maybe). It's because I am not focusing on calories. Regardless, I want to focus on reducing carbohydrates, and adding more fiber, protein, and healthy fats. Eventually the food quantity will reduce. Will update later :)
I have a quick question. I am on a diet as well and eating bland chicken was not motivating me.
I have cut down on rice, pasta, roti and bread, fizzy drinks, juices, desserts.
I am having eggs and a fruit for breakfast,
first snack is 2 fruits (either banana and an apple, or an apple and an orange),
full-fat yogurt or milkshake (banana and milk with a pinch of sugar) for my second snack
and for lunch & dinner I either have salad or I cook vegetables (capsicum and/or carrots) with my chicken.
However to give my chicken more flavor I boil it first and then I kind of cook/stirfry it with some yougurt, spoon of garlic/ginger paste, lemon juice and then either a little bit of red pepper and lots of black pepper or I cook it in tikka boti/tandoori masala..
Question is -- will stir frying the chicken with the ingredients mentioned above hinder the purpose of my diet? if I do the math and get an approx amount of calories, etc. it seems fine to me.. its under my calorie count but I am very new to this and would like to know - need to shed weight by december
Fruits have a lot of sugar in them, I like making omletes with loads of veggies or steak and egg. Meat has a lot of satiety and keeps you full for a long time. Carrots have a lot of sugar and starch. I love green beans, You should eat some whole grain.
