I found one reason I had weight problems.

Apparently my rather severe diverticulitis was the culprit for most of it.

I can keep weight steady and easing down.

Check for wheat allergy, to include rye and other grains as well...........

Avoiding processed foods and sugar is key.

For ‘carbs’ I consider only potatoes and rice, cooked, cooled, and reheated...apparently reduces the sugar spikes. I avoid bread and pasta.

Fruits are minimal, berries are the exception. Drinking OJ is a no no, loaded with sugar.

I usually have 2 meals a day. The first; olive oil, onion, garlic, turmeric, black pepper, paprika, meat, spinach, peppers, eggs, cheese. The second; meat and veggies.

I do daily bench presses, arm lifts, and a ‘fast-ish’ walk uphill for a mile (treadmill).

Currently trying to cut down on IPA beer...but feeling pretty good :)

What does diverticulitis have to do with weight gain?
