Iowa guy here too. What worked for me was cutting out sugars, alcohol, anything with flour/grain, and potatoes. I went crazy nuts and stuck to it for 2 months. Went from 218 to 193 and I'm 44. Shamefully, I'm back to were I started and then some. I changed my life style for 2 months then reverted back to former one.
Starting again today as I'm sick of being sore, and carrying around an extra 20 lbs. The hell of it is finding friends and family that don't drink, pretty frickin hard around here. Plus I'm in the road a lot and attend a lot of meetings where lunch is provided and it's usually laden with carbs and sugars and junk.
Good luck,
Chris
Good job getting back to it. When I’m doing good on my keto diet, I’m eating all real food and green vegetables. Sometimes it’s just too inconvenient with life, but I find that as long as I hold the line on keeping my carbs low, I can eat junk (meat sticks and cheese from a gas station, cheeseburger without bun, sardines, diet pop, even vodka)
And not gain weight. It’s not long term healthy, but it allows me to go about life when necessary without totally breaking discipline, and without becoming a fat bastard. In time it does get easier. Nobody ever looks back and regrets the decision to get healthy.
