Obesity is a disease of malnutrition. Read the book "why we get fat and what to do about it" by Gary Taubes. This isn't a modern problem. The problem in its simplest form is some of us can not process carbs likely others. We eat carbs, our body produces large amount of insulin to process those carbs, the insulin causes us to produce large amount of LPL enzyme, and that causes use to store fat. It because a nasty cycle for us.

Caffeine! I'm an airline pilot, and there is no way I can fly a red eye without coffee. I try to limit it, but still have at least one cup.

If you like popcorn this stuff is amazing! 110 calories per bag, and the carbs aren't bad. Tastes just like butter movie popcorn.

Here's the last pulled pork I made. Apple wood smoked for 14 hours at 225 degrees, removed at 203 internal temp. I even found some really good sugar free low carbs BBQ.

 

Nothing wrong with an electric smoker. I have a masterbuilt 40" I love! Use it all the time for pulled pork, rib, etc. the 30" is nice, but can't fit whole packer brisket or ribs as easily.

Ooooo yum....I think I need a smoker.

Last round of ribs I made ( pre sleeve), home made dry rub, smoke 4 hours, 1 hour in foil, and 1 hour back on smoke then sauced. Only downside I've found now with sugarfree sauce is it doesn't caramelize like my old sauce in the pics.

Fat is good, and the low fat craze was based on bad information. Fat does not make you fat. Carbs( sugar) make you fat.

You can not stretch your sleeve. It's a myth.

Enjoy Disney! December with all the holiday decorations there are lots of photo ops. There is a great one in the animal kingdom lodge lobby in front of the tree.

I'm an airline pilot, and we have to get an FAA physical every 6 months . If you don't pass your career is over. I hit 40 BMI, and was just barely pre-diabetic. My FAA medical examiner ( who also had VSG done about 2 years ago) gave me "the talk". He said if I kept going I wasn't going to pass my flight physicals much longer, and my career would be over. That was the kick in the butt I needed.

Well I’m not losing fast AT all. After a week stalled I lost on the one month mark, the scale moved 1 lb. I don’t know how to change my start date weight and current weight in my profile. But here is a pic 4 days post op and then yesterday at a month but only lost 11lbs since surgery but lost 20 before so 31 total.
Hoping next month is better.

I'm 8 weeks, and had popcorn without a problem. I love this stuff. It tastes like movie popcorn. The whole bag ( single serving) is 100 calories, and 13 grams of carbs. I can't finish a whole bag.

I recently had popcorn for the first time since surgery. Was delicious and I tolerated it just fine at the time. BUT.... I sure felt it the next day. Hungover almost - with a headache and dehydrated feeling. Too much salt, maybe? Certainly weird, and will make me think twice before having it again.
