I don't have links but as the earlier poster also said, I have NAFLD also and it has now progressed to NASH, my diet is as clean as clean can be although artifical sweeteners were the one thing that wasn't.

 

Yikes.  Curious what symptoms look (looked) like.  Thankfully, I am not diabetic.  It also helps I never smoked.  Quit beer years ago.  Never could tolerate hard alcohol, really, but the brew definitely jacked up my head AND my body.

Coke No Sugar - That is not a typo.  😁👍  I stopped Diet Coke (gag!) many years ago.

Bear in mind, I am not a drinker of tea, coffee, beer or alcohol of any kind.  Still drink water per day, too.  Very hot climate here.

 

I will call it an absurd weakness. There is no bear in mind.

There is no "bare" in mind.  😆

I returned to my 18 year old weight and health by including a mental aspect in combination with diet and exercise.

 

Your body responds to verbal commands.  I ordered my body to produce the results required by twice daily affirmations.  Something like "Please return my body to 175 lbs and with perfect health and vitality.  Over and over.  Day after day.  Persistence.  And it just happens by default. Very powerful results, without much effort.

 

It also helps to identify stress/worry in your life and eliminate as much as possible.  The weight accumulates much quicker when you are more hassled.

Ah, mind over matter. For years I've been telling myself to be more hansum and my wife tells me it's been working!

It takes a lot more than "verbal commands", sadly.  😄

Thanks ... nice graph and probably get that 1/3 just from my daily eggs, milk intake.   Big fan of beef & crustaceans, so fits in my diet.

 

Got that daily multivitamin to fill in any gaps, if eating lite on any one day...JIC

I've been following Keto for the past 5 years.

In the first year, I dropped from 115 kilos down to my goal of 72 kilos.

I've maintained 72+/- kilos for the last four years, while eating foods I enjoy, without a thought about reducing the amounts of those foods. Never feel hungry. Eat as much as I want of good, healthy vegetables, fresh fruit, nuts, cheese, breads, meats, chicken, fish, etc., and even have desserts when I want them. I eat in restaurants 6-10 times a week, just being careful what I select.  Annual health checks at Rajaveg tell me I'm still healthy.

It isn't that hard to be healthy.
Keto works, not as a diet, but as a lifestyle.
 

Same here, I dropped from 85kg two years ago to 64kg with the help of exercise and Keto.

I'm still 64/66kg and eat as much low carb foods as I like. I dine out regularly and I seldom feel hungry.

Further, I am no longer required to take any medication for blood pressure, cholesterol. An upside of this regime is a reduction in my medical and travel insurance premiums.
