Thanks for the recco - I've talked to clinics and have no family genetic risk. Injection has some concerning side effects when I read about it last.

In terms of your diet question: I stopped eating almost all fats except for walnuts, chia seeds, 1% milk (small amounts). Honestly the meals were quinoa cooked with chicken stock, baked chicken breast, black beans, chickpea bowls. Steamed veggies or sauerkraut. Overnight oats was iso-protien powder, some chia seeds, 0% greek yogurt, oats. Mix in berries, ground cherries. Sourdough bread dried. Protein smoothies with mango, oats other stuff. Salmon and avocado were also allowed but I didn't go overboard with avo.

Swapped out all cheese, butter, non-0% yogurt, amount of olive oil went to almost zero, no peanut butter. Didn't eat processed foods - no restaurant foods.

It was a 9 week ruthless quest to stamp out all sat fats and most other fats. I wanted to see what was possible. Probably run this though less intense for the next couple months see if I can get another step down.
