Right now, Paleo would be the closest, but it's actually the Keto diet.
High in fats, proteins but with milk products allowed. Low in sugars and carbs.
Started 2 weeks ago when my clothes quit fitting and I saw a photo of myself at grandson's graduation and I thought I looked overweight. I'm 6' tall, weighed 206 when I started 2 weeks ago. I now weight 190. I eat as much as I want of the foods I can; any cheeses, meat, veggies but not root veggies, olive oil, coconut oil, etc.
More important is what you can't eat; grains and that includes corn, sugar or the larger fruits. Berries and such are o.k. as there's nowhere near the sugars in those as in say, an apple.
No calorie counting, eat as much as you like. My daily diet consists of;
coffee with real cream in the morning with a few blue berries and strawberries that have unsweetened heavy whipped cream in the morning. Eggs and bacon or sausage any style.
Anitpasti mid day consisting of cured and stuffed green olives (stuffed with cheeze, hot peppers, etc.), marinated mushrooms and artichoke hearts, cottage cheese, grape sized tomatoes, a couple different cheeses off the wheel and hard salami sliced thin.
Dinner I have beef, chicken, fish or pork, usually BBQ'd as I'm good at it. Also have a smoker. Green salad with oil/vinegar dressing, sauteed mushrooms in butter with a few onion slices in there too. Steamed veggie, usually broccoli or fresh green beans.
After maybe three or four days, my appetite really decreased on it's own. Now that my body wasn't craving sugars and carbs, I just wasn't as hungry as I used to be.
My goal is to get down to the low 170's, about 30 pounds of weight loss, then relax a very little on the starches. I plan to keep sugar cut out of my diet.
