Alright weāll ask you again tomorrow when youāre ready to start. Good luck on your goal. Shakes sound yummy. Are you sure you can sustain on them though?

Wellā¦ I need to substitute something for the high nutritional shakes. I need to eat less somehow.
The shake would contain 80gr of protein and itĀ“s meant to be taken throughout the dayā¦

Have you done research into intermittent fasting and the concept of not deny but delay? There is also counting calories, counting carbs, just increasing exercise, combo of your own choosing.

Yeah I have been doing intermitent fasting for years now. But it doesnĀ“t work if you eat over your daily maintenance, so you need to substract here and there if you going to introduce something new in your diet.
Counting carbs is pointless imo. Counting calories is the key. Exercise is a good addition, which iĀ“m going to do.

Diabetes is complicating my efforts. With all the blood sugar meds Iām on , I found my blood sugar low this morning, so even though I planned on having very little for breakfast, I found that I had to eat a sandwich and a few chips in order to take my diabetes meds with my lower blood sugar and still keep it from going too low. I wonder if I should just skip diabetes meds in morning and not have breakfast some days 
.
Iām basically forced to eat something if my blood sugar is relatively low and I do take meds.

Congrats on the weight loss @anon54988740 . I would be quite satisfied with weight loss at that pace myself. 8 pounds in 2 weeks or so is pretty damn good weight loss.
