I’m feeling guilty about the three cheddar cheeseburger sliders I had last night.
Guess I’ll have another beer.

Type 2 Diabetes Remission Rates After Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass and Gastric Banding: Results of the Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery Study | Diabetes Care
CONCLUSIONS – Diabetes remission up to 3 years after RYGBP and LAGB was proportionally higher with increasing postsurgical weight loss. However, the nearly twofold greater weight loss–adjusted likelihood of diabetes remission in subjects undergoing RYGBP than LAGB suggests unique mechanisms contributing to improved glucose metabolism beyond weight loss after RYGBP.

Daily Weigh-Ins Keep Dieters on Track – MedicineNet.
Journal of Obesity — An Open Access Journal.
A two-year Cornell University study found that tracking the results of daily weight checks on a chart helped people lose weight and keep it off.
Sometimes I forget but I try to weigh myself every day. I keep a log on a Google Sheet. It is a daily reminder of whether I’ve been good or bad. Bad behavior is not hard to recognize. Too many restaurant meals, too much animal protein, ice cream, pizza, beer, etc. Good behavior is harder but achievable. Grilled chicken on mixed greens, choosing the smaller burrito rather than the giant version, more plant based meals, less beer.
Periodic weigh-in’s work. It’s part of the routine ever since losing over 200 pounds. Boom.
American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR): CRU: Report: Obesity and 3 Daily Alcoholic Drinks Increase Liver Cancer Risk
The report also reaffirms the clear link between alcohol consumption and liver cancer, and for the first time quantifies the amount at which risk for liver cancer rises. “We now have a little more precision on the alcohol-liver cancer link,” said Hursting. “Getting above three drinks a day seems to dramatically impact the tumorigenic process and increase risk.”
