[QUOTE="ralphwtaylor, post: 2178402, member: 497898"] I'd say that you should continue to keep it very low carb and, in spite of what people say, keep an eye on calories. If you can, definitely stop snacking. Try adding Intermittent Fasting by limiting the window when you eat (look up 16:8). And gentle aerobic exercise I understand is best for fat burning so keep doing that. Personally, I have lost a ton of weight on low carb, To be fair when I started this journey back July 2018 I started just doing 16:8 intermittent fasting but after a couple of months discovered low carb and, like you, cut out glucose completely, so no carbs or sugar in any form other than from green vegetables. I stopped snacking between meals and did not find that hard as with insulin production being really low I wasn't hungry between meals any more. To date I've lost 60 lbs through diet alone and just the gentlest of exercise. I've evolved (can I say that?) to just one meal a day at the moment, again naturally without any real effort, plus nearly all of my metabolic syndrome markers have been reversed and am off all diabetic meds HbA1C down to 33. I do watch calories but still eat between 1700-2000 per day to keep the metabolism going.
