I'm on a (not-so) new diet...

Mmm... Becan!

More becan (cooked properly i.e. till most of the fat is cooked out and strained) and far less carbohydrates = weight loss.
 
My wife and I have less carbs (example; white breads and rice) because they make us feel bloated, although whole wheat is much better. We've also greatly reduce oil based products and have pure butter instead. Too much oil in your diet can damage the eyes, fruit such as Mangoes and berries are great for eye health.  Anyway, both my wife and I have lost a lot of weight. We both see a the same doctor who is also a natural therapist and dietitian. And if possible, its also a good idea to go for a walk about 30 minutes a day after meals, can't walk? You've probably eaten way, way too much Becan
 
Seriously, due to a certain medications I need to take I was having too many frequent dizzy spells and this was clearly attributed to having too much carbohydrates and not enough protein, fruit and vegetables. So, the good ole Becan n Eggs for breakfast (or brunch) definitely resolved that issue although I don't have Becan n Eggs every day, I prefer variety such as, urrm Eggs and Becan
 
 

I get that. :P
 
Me, I don't know if it's because I passed 40, but burning fat really isn't easy. 
 
All my life, even though I ate junk, drank phenomenal quantities of beer and wine and smoked 2 packs a day, I barely got the balance to 160 lbs. Being almost 6'3", that made me slender, to say the least.
 
When I quit smoking for a while in 2012, with the help of a rather unhealthy diet, I started putting on weight for the first time in my life, and passed 180 lbs. in 2013. That's when we got the house, and I could get back to preparing meals and training at home. 
 
Training 5 days a week, doing weight lifting, core training and cardio, I managed to build up muscle and reached 207 lbs last fall, but even though I lost most of the fat I had put on, as hard as I work out, getting rid of the last few pounds of fat does take forever and I'm definitely not as slim as I was 5 or 6 years ago.
 
It's disappointing at times, because I work out really hard, I'm very disciplined, and I eat really well. But metabolism slows down with age and it's just harder to lose the fat. I try and see things positively - I may not be reaching all the goals I set myself and seeing the exact results I'd want, but I'm also not seeing what would happen if I simply sat back and let go. I can't imagine how it'd be if I weren't putting that much effort in my training - probably pretty bad.

My doctor clipped off a tiny sliver of one of my fingernails. He carefully lowered the clipping into a plastic bag and sealed it with a Bio-Hazard sticker. He held the tiny fingernail shard in front of me and said, "This is the part you can keep. Lose the rest."
 
I think he and I may have different goals.

The becan diet is keeping me in shape! 
(Round is a shape, ya?)
