You have excellent taste in music for a Boomer, Bonzai.

Medicare should pay you. The three items sound good, but what if I use fried tortilla chips with the guacamole? Butter, eggs all good, but you want to put the butter on something like a biscuit or toast. Time to make some scrambled eggs, just a bit runny. Tomrrows breakfast agenda, then. Moms will love it.It is possible to reduce weight by just eating mostly protein and fat and green salads and leaving out all carbs. But the protein must not be too much otherwise the body has a sneaky habit of converting protein into carbs.
For losing weight,
Avocado is good.
Pure butter is good.
Eggs are good.
But all of the above will work in isolation or together. Mixing them with other stuff won't get you the results you want.
One trick I read about is to get a small container of Hershey's cacao and also vanilla powder. When you feel hungry, open them up and smell. They help to reduce cravings and may suppress hunger.
Nope. You gotta cut out the carbs to lose weight.Medicare should pay you. The three items sound good, but what if I use fried tortilla chips with the guacamole? Butter, eggs all good, but you want to put the butter on something like a biscuit or toast.

The other extreme is, eat only white rice and fruits and one boiled egg with a little salt on it. This diet has minimum fat but the body needs fat so what's it gonna do? It will get the stored fat from within itself so you burn off fat a lot faster. It's much harder than the protein/avocado/butter diet but it works just as well (maybe even better).
Remember, both these diets burn off fat without exercise, though a little walk is good to keep your muscles from getting atrophied.
No you don't. All you need to do is reduce your caloric intake. I personally lost well over 100 lbs (and have kept it off) and never cut out carbs. All the better if you can burn some extra calories too, but reducing intake in a sustainable way is the most important factor. But you do need to be fully honest in figuring out how many calories you're taking in, you can't exclude a snack or a soda or what-have-you (and should really just drink water, not soda or juice, even diet varieties).Nope. You gotta cut out the carbs to lose weight.
The key to weight loss is to understand the role of the hormone insulin and one of its stimulators, which are digestible carbohydrates.I've been informed that I can't just "walk off" 15 lbs. As Igor mentioned, I have to reduce my intake. I tried to do it today, and I keep thinking of a cigarette every hour or so and even with the Chantix.
What if I eat fried Chicharrones? Why wouldn't that help? I successfully avoided driving my backup truck to the Wienerschnitzel to get three of those all-beef chili-dogs with on-yones. God! I want one of them chili-dogs! If the Trooper were running, I'd be down there in the drive-thru by now . . .
On the topic -- from their depictions in TV like "Breaking Bad" or "Law and Order" -- it would seem that Meth-heads don't have a problem with being over-weight. They don't have a problem thinking clearly, either . . . Nobody would want their problems . . .
I once took about two Dexedrine weight-pills daily so I could stay awake five days running to bone up for a 17-th century History of Ideas final. I was about 21 years old. Told myself after I woke from crashing that I'd never do such a thing again, and I never did. I sure wouldn't try it at 75.
LATER -- has it been an hour? Now I'm thinking about KFC original recipe. I'm gonna run out the truck. I can't even remember what I've already eaten today. Yes -- it was honey-nut cheerios and milk.
Original recipe it is, then . .
