I was hoping to learn something new. Unfortunately, you don't offer a single piece of advice that I can use. Hello, I track every bite that enters my mouth. I have no cookies or chips etc. in my house. I have cut cheese from my diet because it's a trigger for me. I exercise regularly, mostly biking or walking. I quit drinking around the time Covid hit, just to improve my chances. I drink tons of water and one cup of black coffee a day, and on rare occasions a diet cola. Kale, cauliflower, broccoli, black beans, asparagus, brussels sprouts, onions, apples and salmon are my staples. I eat some roast chicken occasionally. Sometimes I eat a little plan nonfat yogurt. For fruit, I like an apple several times a week or sometimes half a cup of blueberries. I eat a couple of sweet potatoes per week. If I use fat, it's olive oil most of the time, occasionally some sesame oil or coconut oil. I try to keep my daily calories to 800-1,000 per day and only rarely hit 1,200 or so. I eat my first meal at noon, followed by a walk, and eat my second and last meal around 4:30 p.m. I'm still obese. If you're going to make a promise like that in a headline, you should deliver. In short, I am sick and tired of experts offering advice that doesn't work. Now everyone will tell me I am probably just not reading labels. News flash: I cook close to 100 percent of my own food from scratch; there aren't labels to read on apples and heads of broccoli. I have done pretty much everything you experts say I should do. I'm still fat.
