I hope maybe someone can share some encouragement. I am so confused and not even sure what I'm confused about. In 2016 I was diagnosed T2 and managed to kick it to the curb with LCHF loosing weight and lowering my HBA1C to just under pre diabetic numbers. Then I lapsed big time. Weight starting creeping back up but more importantly I felt awful and started feeling pains again.
Fast forward to today, I want to do something and fast but there is now so much more ways to eat. I struggled to get back into LCHF (probably after getting used to the frankenfoods alternatives!) so tried keto, didnt like that as it was too restrictive, started IF rather haphazardly as I was 16:8 but because my work is unpredictable there were days I was 20:4 or even 23:1, cut out veg and tried carnivore, looked into 5:2 and also fast 800.
The problem is, I just dont know what to do to kick start the weight loss again, I go from one diet to another and I guess because the results are not as dramatic as my first round of LCHF i try something else. I get it, I realise this has to be for life now, I cant keep falling off the wagon thinking I can get on where I left off. How do I choose something that I can do long term but also shift this weight? I hope someone understands what I mean
