It takes discipline to count carbs. When shopping we look at EVERY label before we buy. As others have mentioned - intermittent fasting is the easiest way to lose weight. You can reverse type 2 diabetes which is what got me started. Dr. Jason Fung has videos on his clinic and the latest findings on the benefits of fasting. it is amazing.
I actually eat very light on weekends.
During the week supporting the technology challenged, it can be stressful. Other times it is so dead, it’s easy to get the munchies.
I try to stick to stuff like watermelon chunks, chia seeds, and the like.
