I have been on the fitnes journey for last 20 years. I now have renewed intrest to meet some goals.
My high level goals
1) Keep BP in check and not get on the pill
2) Improve body composition, reduce fat, maintain or gain some weight and therefore gain muscle.
3) May be convince my cardiologist to get me off statin low dose I am on
After being on high carb diet for years and years, I am now starting to make significant chaneges to reduce carb. My diet is mostly indian vegetarian, eggs and chicken.
I am glad I found this App. It will help me monitor my diet, make required changes, exchange ideas, follow some of you and learn along the way.

I think those are all wonderful goals. Don't forget to break all your goals into mini goals that that more achievable and measurable. This well not only help you to keep motivated but will keep you more accountable. When you say you're on high carbs do you mean rice? And when you say you want to reduce your carbs are you saying you want to cut them out or to change them to another form of carbs that are more sustainable? For example switching rice to sweet potatoes (both starches but sweet potatoes are a lot more sustainable in a reg eating routine). I'll post a link about how starchy vegetables can both maintain a stable blood sugar level and help a person lose weight and maintain their current body weight. But I'd love to exchange recipe ideas.

Leah,
You make lot of good points and I will try to respond as thorough as I can.
Measurable small goals, absolutely. I have been monitoring BP using Whithings for about a year now and tracking monthly average. I will believe there is a change when I see at least six months of data, some visible trend and narrow bell curve. Right now data is all over the map. Even the consecutive readings (systolic) are sometimes 15 points apart.
More to follow.

Leah,
Now the carb story. I established the baseline of my regular diet and found out that I was getting in excess of 50% of Calories from Carb. Morning till night every meal, snacking included. Constant blood sugar and insulin at work. Regular meal included wheat, rice, lentils almost daily in some shape or form.
I am not shooting for keto, currently I am about 25% or less daily Calories from Carb, don’t feel like snacking at all.
Almond bread, tofu, paneer, home made yogurt, avocado, whole egg, chicken, chia seeds, pecan, walnut contribute a lot these days. Reaching 120 to 160g protein, rest comes from fat.
I am hoping this will have some positive effects on my goals.
Regarding the recipes, I would love to share and learn.
