My problem has never really been about weight, but keeping my sweet tooth at bay. No problem with blood pressure either.
I have tried eliminating carbs, but I'm a bread lover in all shapes and sizes. I need it here in the mountains for FUEL, and to break up those short winter days and nights.
Breakfast without carbs is unthinkable!
Maybe it's easier for you to digest the higher protein in meats and nuts with fewer vegetables because of the desert heat.
I would get bored just eating chicken, fish and nuts. I like full spectrum eating, including jazzing up a dinner with gravy, biscuits or a dressing now and then.
Secondly, I live far away from markets and only go into town when I need to; so fresh veggies run out in a matter of days, while breads can be frozen or baked. Unless it's growing out back, or the local farmers are sharing, my veggies run out in days.
I'm glad you finally started looking after yourself. It takes a lot of determination and food is so hard to manage as our taste buds are so important in enjoying this life.
