First of all you thicc and I like that.
Forthe class (certainly not me because I know everything) could you lay out what the GOLO diet is?

It's a reduced-calorie diet focused on removing unprocessed foods/sugars, while allowing you to eat most whole foods/proteins. Its supposed to help with insulin management as well.
Only thing that separates it from similar diets in a proprietary "activation" supplement that is a cornerstone of the diet.
I gotta be honest. My Mom and Dad both live with me and Mom is on top of the diet situation. So I really don't know what it is all about. I just eat what she cooks. I have a few issues that stem from a TBI I got over in Iraq that causes severe migraines and other issues and my parents help me manage.
I will look it up and try to get a run down on it though or simply ask Mom.

OMG that's funny. LOL
I have a very basic understanding of it, so it is possible I missed some details your mom might have to add.

Absent context, this could be a fire mom joke.

I just read pages and pages about it and I'm still confused.
It sounds like another calorie deficit diet, so it can't be too bad. Any time your input is less then your output you will loose weight. Ex. If you ate 1600 cal a day in snickers you will lose weight [and probably teeth].....
Bottom line, @Bypass good luck buddy!!!

Good luck! Was this something your doc decided, or you picked yourself?

I do really good with "pretty much paleo".
Meat, eggs, fruits, veggies, nuts, i add whey protein post workout and casein before bed with almond milk. It helped give me perspective on whole foods nutritional value vs processed foods. I can eat 4-5 granny smith apples or 2 pop tarts.
Are you going to use a calorie counter app?

Doc pretty much said lose weight or she would put me in a head lock until I passed out.
I'm not sure I haven't got the diet materials yet.

not a fan of calorie restriction. I pushed 2500+ calories and still managed to lose 40lbs in 3 months
Keto!
I did it but I really felt pretty bad while on it.
How many carbs did you take in a day? Some people experience what is called Keto Flu. Can take 3 weeks to get over.
Not sure about the carbs. I think it was 23? Unless that was the atkins diet. I've been on so many diets that didn't work I can't keep up.
I am on keto because of my diabetes. I stay below 30 g a day. Not hard after you get pass the carb craving. Lost 30 lbs in a month
