Hello again everyone, hope you are doing well.
I think the storm may have finally ended, lasted for a long time tonight. We don't get thunderstorms too often.
Anyways, how did I do today with my food? I did struggle with my first meal of the day. We cooked up some ground beef and I was going to have a taco bowl, but I really don't care for ground beef. Not sure if trying a leaner version would help.
So meals --
Meal 1 - a few bites of the taco bowl (ground beef, cheddar cheese and sour cream), and a protein drink
Meal 2 - Spam and eggs (I know, not clean but not as concerned about that right now)
Snack - Butter and cheese
Macros: 1,148 calories, 13 carbs, 7 fiber, 88 fat, 80 protein
I added the fiber to the list this time since my carbs were higher. It was from the protein drink, which sometimes have higher carbs but with a good amount of fiber. I am not worried about fiber on this diet though.
I think fat and protein were pretty good though, and I was closer to 1,200 calories at least.
Blood sugar was pretty stable, still not where I want it but I don't think it went over the 130s at least.
What do you think of the day? Ideas on how to lower the blood sugar (without veggies lol).

It’s not all about eating clean. Or just eating protein. There are several things you gotta do to lose weight. If that’s your goal. Protein only diets are more for people who are bulking up or want to gain muscle.

@MommyOfEli2013 Its still not the answer. By instelf eating that way is not going to solve all your problems.
Not saying you have problems persay, but you know what I mean.
There are easy ways to urge and make that weight loss kick into overdrive.
What type of diabetic are you?

I am not doing protein only though. And many people lose weight on carnivore. I am not doing the version where I am eating like 200 grams of protein lol.

You are doing good. As you continue to lose weight you should see your numbers improve. Staying under 130 is a start. That's a good range after eating.

Maybe that will help. Just thought dropping the carbs would. I went up to 160 today though before even eating anything, think I waited too long to eat
