Excellent post! I switched to whole foods (plant-based for me) 3 years ago. Combined that with regular 16:8 fasting, near-zero seed oil intake, lower stress and increased consumption of greens/fruits has resulted in about 35lb weight loss (I was not obese, but borderline), good riddance to my CPAP machine and a great feeling overall! Triglycerides dropped from >200 to <60, and HDL-C rose to 50 after years of struggling to break the 40 barrier.
Most importantly, whole foods helped be avoid diabetes without having to watch calories or counting carb/fat/protein intake.
Whole foods can be delicious, if you know how to prepare them (spices are the key!). I don’t crave for the junk food I was so used to anymore. And I don’t have worry about overeating, because the body tells you when to stop!
Thank you for sharing. Our experience with this change is very similar and I know dozens of people who have lost weight and kept it off as you have. You have solved the food problem and you no longer need to worry about it
