But is bit if a challenge, I'm vegetarian. But it does work! Don't forget 8 glasses of water too.

Since beans are often excluded on low carb diet?

Eggs work too.

Nuts, seeds, tofu, soy, cheese and eggs all have protein as well.

I recommend the book The Obesity Code for the science behind it.

Since the pandemic started I've lost 60 lbs. by cutting out most carbs, especially sweets, bread and potatoes, eating high-protein foods with "good" fats (avoiding trans fats) and doing a lot of walking. I can't imagine that a high-carb diet would work unless you focus on complex carbohydrates like non-starchy vegetables, beans and nuts. Avoid simple carbohydrates, which are in candy, desserts, doughnuts, potatoes, cereals, white bread, white rice, pasta, bagels, etc. These foods have empty calories and in a worst case could lead to a pre-diabetic condition.

and storing the rest. Low-fat protein, green vegetables, complex carbs (whole wheat flour, grains, low in sugar), low dairy. Avoid starches - potatoes, fries, chips, crackers.

Color me goofus.
