eating only lean meat, vegetables, and limited fruit.

Eating fat does not make one fat. Eating fat with carbs causes an insulin response that stores the fat you just ate. Eat as much fat as you’d like, but avoid the carbs. It will not make you fat, will make you feel satiated, and may even make you smarter (brain food).

Yeah, my SO eats meat or eggs and vegetables for meals, and for snacks, trail mix of nuts and dried fruit. The meat isn’t even totally lean (not just chicken breast.) There are recipes online for the Whole 30 program that i’ve used. That diet also helped my son mostly clear his eczema and 2 other skin conditions (hidradenitis and acne conglobata.) If you follow it, it works. My son fell off the wagon in college, but can go back to it when he gets tired of suffering. ETa the weight difference for my SO between A1C of 8 vs 4.5 was a loss of 7 lbs.
