This continued for at least 6 years eventually, I accepted it as a normal part of my life.

Eating fewer carbs leads to faster weight loss.
When people consume fewer carbs their body begins to burn excess fats as an energy source instead of glucose.
A diet that filled with processed carbs causes our bodies to use glucose as an energy source.

The sugar your body usually burns is glucose, which is produced from carbs (bread, processed sugar, pasta, potatoes, juices, soda, and sugary drinks) you drink or eat.
Any extra glucose is either stored in your liver or muscles as glycogen or converted to fat.

1. Increase your protein intake.
Eating more protein keeps you fuller for longer.
Lean proteins you can add to your diet: white-fleshed fish, beans, peas, lentils, chicken or turkey breast & cottage cheese.
