Wstephen - have you considered a low carb high fat moderate protein diet? You should do some research about the ketogenic way of eating. I started it due to a diagnoses of prediabetic. There are some great videos on Youtube and so fantastic groups on FB as well as the FS warriors. The cravings go away. You can have that cheeseburger (just not the bun)! The water and walking are great! You can do this no matter what path you choose! Good luck and warrior on!
