I'm doing DIF, with about a two-hour window of eating, although I don't 
always use it.  My carb intake is between zero and 30g.  For example, 
yesterday I got a cheapo pot roast and simmered it for about three 
hours.  I had a large portion of that.  I don't weigh my food, but it 
seemed like a lot.  I had a bit of feta cheese crumbled on it, maybe a 
tablespoon.  I had some steamed (frozen) veg with that, mostly broccoli 
florets and water chestnuts, with a little butter and hot sauce.  About 
an hour later I got a cup of blueberries and munched on them while 
reading.  That was it for the day.

Typically, when I have these meals, I get the feeling "Ouf, that was a 
lot, I won't be losing any weight after that."  But the weight is coming 
down slowly but steadily.  As of today, I'm two pounds lighter than when 
I posted the update.  BGs are staying in the 80s mostly, with the 
occasional 90 on the two-hour postprandial test.
