Do you track your macros? I've been cutting way back on sugar and carbs. I haven't done any macro tracking but am considering.

I’m not an expert by any means.. but I do try to keep a figure … my suggestion is to just stay away from macroroni and cheese altogether… take a shot of wild turkey 101 instead if you find yourself craving it

Pasta also is high in cholesterol too.

LOL ^
I just had 2 brats for supper. I don't think I can help you.

what's a macro

stay way from grain and potato's you'll live forever

Protein vegetables stay away from most carbs get them from squash etc plus I do all my eating in about eight hours then fast the rest , lost 35 pounds since March. Make it a lifestyle change and allow yourself a cheat day , that makes everything work a lot better.

Girl

Never heard of a macro. Maybe microroni would be healthier

Macronutrients.- protein, fats, carbs.

We got a new tick since the other one isn't on as much. Lol

I dont know what macro means but if it means not eating fresh rye bread-it aint gonna happen.

Without eating tators why would you want to

Agree just had beef tenderloin and potatoes for dinner

I’ve not had a donut, any pastry, ice cream, sugared pop, regular cookies/ candy, sugar cereals or raw sugar in about 2 years. I tried the tree bark diet for a while I but could not live like that. It was just tasteless garbage that makes a guy into a gasbag ready fot the Macy parade some days.

Over time you find ways to enjoy eating and drinking more of what you do like that helps to make it bearable. Stevia sweetener for my coffee Murray sugar free cookies, diet Dr Pepper, wheat bread at home white toast when eating out as a treat. I do eat fig Newtons in moderation plain Cheerios with a banana as the sweetener.

I skin out my meat I don’t do fat I never could stomach it a palm sized piece of lien meat suits me fine. I like fruits and most vegetables I miss my beans but Bush came out with no sugar beans but they are full of starch. Bacon I love bacon.

I went 67 years living on donuts, cake, candy, pop, shakes and blizzards and fast foods were my better meals then I had a great run. LOL

In foods you have 3 choices fats, sugars, sodium for flavoring no way around it. I go in for a A1C test on Tuesday will see how it goes.

Good luck

It's not a fad diet. It's tracking your intake of your macronutrients to get the numbers that work for you. My boss lost a lot of weight and fast by doing it. He had to lose weight to save his knee.

only way i can keep my a1c down is no grain or potato's. been losing weight too. that has helped a bunch and of course no sugar

Grain makes inflammation worse for me. Especially wheat. I still eat homegrown potatoes.

I like my taters I could live with just meat and taters no problem one of my favorite meals is brown up some ground round then cook with a good pile of potatoes. Meat and taters in every bite in fact I have burger thawing now to make that tomorrow it’s good for 2 meals.

.. this is an interesting post with the a1 sauce and castrol oil level talk… I’m 45 and never been to a doctor for anything other than a quick clinic to get antibiotics for infection

… my question is .. what’s the point? .. don’t they just find something wrong and put you on medicine no matter what?
