So I actually lost weight completely by accident. I was not trying to eat healthier, I didn't work out and I just changed my meal plan.
So in December of 2017 I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Now for those of you who don't know doctors love to exaggerate to get you to be healthier. Within hours of my diagnosis my doctor had purposefully misconstrued what I had said to make me believe that I would be amputated. I had another doctor intentionally withhold my insulin until he "felt like it" so I could understand what it was like to have a high blood sugar.
Needless to say I was quite terrified and very traumatized. I made a plan to completely rearrange my diet. My starting diet for the first half of the year was eating a meal of one sandwich (measured meat to keep sodium down, lettuce, two tomato slices, mayonnaise, cheese, jalapeno, mustard and wheat bread) and 28g of chips exactly. I cut all soda out of my diet and drunk exclusively water. In addition to this I ate every four hours on the dot.
For breakfast I would eat an egg white omelet with ham, a habanero and cheese, some wheat toast with sugar free jam and a glass of milk.
So I don't know if these are the results you guys will get but I lost about 40 pounds the first year. I went from 190-ish to just below 150. Now I understand that diabetes is a very unpredictable disease but I have never been a very big guy so I think that if someone bigger than me, as in someone with a higher caloric budget, tried this diet they would have a much easier time.
Now there is one stipulation with you trying this diet: I don't get hungry. Ever. Or I didn't before I started this diet. I literally didn't know what it felt like to be hungry for some reason. So needless to say I had a much easier time starving myself. But give it a try!
P.S. When I actually crunched the calories for this diet I was in a 600 calorie deficit!
