So the no sugar for a month didn't go well. Nor did the intermittent fasting. I think just counted calories. Even though I was below calories and was working out I've been gaining weight; maybe muscles. So I finally decided to follow this fitness guru that I've been following for some time and I'm going to try counting my macros.

If you have not heard about counting your macros, it's focusing on having a certain amount of proteins, carbs and fats. I found that even though I avoid bread, even buns, that I was having a lot of carbohydrates. That shocked me. I wasn't having much protein which might be why I'm tired a lot of the time.

This is a link to my fitness guru's website. It's a pretty good start.
