Around late March I was surfing internet when I noticed there is a MD talking about guaranteed diet that people normally lost weight within the first two weeks.
The diet was nothing but the Low Carb Atkins type diet, but he (MD) was selling a powder that goes with the diet. I don't intend to act as his marketing tool and really to this date don't know if the powder has any role for me to handle the Low Carb diet for more than two weeks and be very strict about it.
He called his powder Pre-Biotics. He explains that due to so many things such as Anti-biotics our body loses it's good bacteria in the gut system and that causes some GI issues including cravings. He explained craving comes from the bad bacteria asking for more food (I don't know if this is medically proven).

He blames some material called Lectins that can be found in the tomato skin and beans etc to be the cause for the GI issue such as leaky gut and due to the leaky gut he was blaming that the cause for the arthritis pains and skin issues etc. He says stay away from the Lectins get the Low Carb Atkins type diet and take the powder once a day (dissolve in 8 oz of water). However the powder hardly dissolves and you feel you are drinking the dissolved soil.Taste weird -:(
What I eat on a daily basis is:
8 am a couple of eggs (sunny side up)
10 am a protein bar or shake (Kind brand full of nuts and covered with the Dark chocolate)
12 noon a Green chicken salad with the Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing from Habit
2 pm a little bag of raw nuts (no cashew) that I bring from home
6 pm a warm grilled chicken or small steak (MD suggested that your protein portion shouldn't be larger than your palm size) plus a large portion of salad, I love the asparagus with my dinner too.
On top of that I walk between 5 to 10 thousands steps daily and once a week I play friendly raquet ball with my friend at gym. I will report to you guys in a week or so. I hope I can keep going and reach my goal (185 pounds)!

Update on 5//8/2018
Started April 4/2/2018 (a month and 6 days ago) or 5 weeks ago I was 209 pound. Today I was 196.3 pounds. The last two days I mixed the powder from the doctor with the protein powder in the morning. So it is not that bad anymore!
Update on 5/18/2018
Today is almost a month and half since I started. I weighed 195.8 pounds today lost already 13.1 pounds). I was happy today since this is the first time in months that I see 195 pounds on my scale. :-) Another update is that my waste size came down from 36 to 34 few days ago. This is after more than a decade!!
