I have read from multiple sources that to lose fat, you need to eat more fat. Some suggesting 70+ percent, with very low carb. Considering I gained most of my weight after a series of increasingly draconian low fat diets, it’s one that I haven’t yet tried.
A podcast I encountered last year while searching for ADHD information, Nutrition to the Edge, caught my attention; I’ve been listening to it for several months now. I kept listening and considering, but never went all in.
Since I’m feeling wrecked at the moment – nearly three months of antibiotics, difficulty breathing and sleeping and walking, and out of control carb cravings – I’m open to alternatives.
I made it to work today. El niño arrived in earnest this morning. I found the first day back of the new year to be a lot harder than I hoped; just walking around winded me badly. Something must change. I don’t want a quick fix; I’ve had too many of them, and whatever the initial results, I always hit a wall. Karl, the podcast host, claims to know why, and it’s a claim I’m willing to put to the test.
Because something needs to change. I feel hobbled, and I don’t like the feeling one bit.
