Granny's gone and done it again

When I was a kid, the family joked that I was going to be a doctor since I surgically removed every bit of fat from my meat before eating it. Still don't care for it.

A woman after my own heart! You'd think I'd be a skinny mini, eating like I do, buut no such luck.

I cut off the fat too. I have enough fat as it is.

Yeah, me too. Weird thing is if you increase the amount of fat you eat, stop eating most carbs and have moderate amounts of protein, your body metabolism changes. You go into ketosis and your body uses stored fat as your primary source of energy. It's how I have lost almost 45 lbs. I'm not hungry either.
The carbs, especially from grains and simple sugars, require insulin to digest and when your body gets excess carbs, which is often in our culture, your body can't use all that energy so it thriftily changes it into fat to save for leaner times.
Long term effects of this kind of diet are unclear, but for a few more months to keep losing weight so easily, I'm willing to risk it. H2o's blood test was great, so maybe it's not even a worry.

Ironically it's not the fat that makes us fat as much as all the carbs.
