Thats great how many calories are u eating a day? I would love to lose that much 

It helps to have type two diabetes because I take my blood sugar before meals and hold off eating until it's a hundred or lower.. I tend to easily digest lean protein and I like green veggies and fruit, but fruit must be eaten in moderation. I try to eat under 1400 Calories, 80 to 100 Protein, and under 80 Carbs in a day. Before I started this diet, I must have been eating constantly if only eating three car b& fat controlled meals a day (keeping carbs as low as I can) has made that difference. Fat eaten can go directly to one's fat cells, so I try to eat only a little healthy Extra Virgin Olive oil or something like that, but I do love nuts. Have to watch it. Also I find wheat an irritant that makes my bones ache. Think of all the stuff I can't eat because I can't tolerate wheat. Painful Sciatica arrives with so much as a slice of french bread. Pizza crust goodbye, and pie crust the same. No cookies or muffins. Makes me a picky eater but it's easier to lose weight without wheat products than ever before. Later on in any diet, two lbs a week will be great progress and plateaus will occur when I swear I am living on 1000 a day and not losing. exercise is a key. I'm really out of shape, but I hope to work up to an hour of walking a day.
