Can you help me plan meals for the month for maximum protein, minimum carbs, and to shed the pounds?
I understand there are a trillion guides and discussions that already exist, but I learn best from interacting directly with people. I am hoping I can get some really clear guidance and advice.
Me: 43 year old male sex person, 6' tall, usually in the 250# range (last time I checked I was in the high 240's.) Carry my weight/fat heavily in my stomach area.
T2 diabetic, diagnosed maybe 7 years ago now. When I was diagnosed I weighed 335# roughly. I have maintained at my current weight range for 4-5 years.
Blood sugar is generally out of control to the point where I don't even check it anymore (my doctor knows this.) I take Basaglar insulin once a day, plus Ozempic once a week. I also take close to the max dose of Metformin daisly (1000mg twice a day.) I take two medications to control foot pain (Gabapentin max dose, Meloxicam.)
I am not entirely sedentary but I don't put forth a ton of exercize. "Walking" doesn't really cut it, I walk constantly anyway. I have been clinically diagnosed with generalized binge eating disorder.
I don't have a ton of money and can commit about $350 a month to groceries. I love pretty much all frutis and veg. I like cooked shrimp (like cocktail shrimp essentially,) but that's about the only seafood I really like. I like chicken in almost any form. I tend to only like ground beef, and I eat almost no pork. Ethnically speaking I can't think of a single type of food I don't enjoy.
I feel like if someone literally just set down a meal plan in front of me and said "Do this for a month and add moderate exercize and you will shed pounds," I would have NO problem sticking to the meal plan. I know it seems stupid but when I'm told exactly what to do (particularly if it's low effort) I can do it!
Obviously because of the 'beetus I need something reasonably low carb, but I also don't want to do something stupid and drop my caloric intake to an absurd level
That's the situation in a nutshell. I know it's a big ask to ask strangers to help with something like this but I'm feeling both motivated and deeply anxious; stuck, yet open to being unstuck.
So urm...take it away, Reddit!
