    Man on an All McDonalds Diet Shedding Pounds

    No, but I have blackberries or raspberries with cream for dessert. I didn't realize they are relatively low in carbs, especially since they are higher in fiber than most fruits so my blood sugar doesn't spike. I also have 90% cocoa chocolate sometimes. At night I drink low-cal beer and often...

    Give it a try if there's one near you. They are known for their hot dogs but their Italian Beef Subs are great. I like it with mozzarella cheese with the gravy (juice) on the side for dipping.

    Man on an All McDonalds Diet Shedding Pounds

    Yeah, the article states the following: For 100 days, he's eating nothing but half portions of the fast food chain menu items for every meal. I never feel hungry with my low-carb diet. Carbs are usually light so filling up takes more calories if you ingest carbs. Eating low-carb food like...

    Weight Loss Journey

    That is correct. This is not a diet to lose a few pound only to go back to eating the way I used to. This is a permanent way of eating. Like I said, my blood sugar hasn't been in the normal range for well over 10 years. I can tell though that I may have overdone it on the grilled marinated...

    Weight Loss Journey

    Oh believe me, I've had my cheat days. I went to Portillo's to have an Italian Beef Sub. I gained 2 pounds at the end of the week. To be honest, it didn't taste as good as it used to.

    Weight Loss Journey

    Thanks keith, but I don't know why I would be a target because I'm making my health better and for losing weight. Sometimes I'm dumb like that. The low-carb diet allows people to eat up to 50 grams of carbs a day so you don't have to give them up altogether. Sometimes I do like I had a double...

    Want to move out of the US? These are the best places to live abroad, expats say

    Why is that? I've been to Phuket a few times but never Pattaya. Phuket has a Walking Street (Soi Bangla). I have a friend in Pattaya who always wants me to visit him. Covid really shut down a lot of the bars there.

    Weight Loss Journey

    I just got my test results back from my blood work. My blood sugar used to be 125 - 160. Now it's under 100 in the normal range for the first time in over a decade. I still eat burgers and steaks except I don't eat the burger with a bun. I've lost 8 pounds in 4 weeks.

    Want to move out of the US? These are the best places to live abroad, expats say

    People say manufactured homes don't appreciate, and for the most part that's true. However, those homes do appreciate in the mountains and they don't lose their value much here in the city. Besides, I would be looking for all that equity anyway. I'm only going to live 20 or 30 more years so I...

    Want to move out of the US? These are the best places to live abroad, expats say

    I've thought about living in Mexico, SE Asia and even Portugal. I'm too much of a homebody to leave the US for any length of time. I may look at selling my house and taking the equity to buy 2 manufactured homes. One in the Phoenix area and one in the mountains a couple hours away. I could move...

    I love that beer! You can buy it here in the US but it tastes a little bit different than the beer in Singapore.

    Some people don't think twice about putting $100 or $200 down on a bet but have to think twice or three times to put that down for a great meal like they have there. It's all in perspective.
