I had no idea. Nearly 30% of some countries have diabetes, incredible. I guess that puts Murica right in the middle.
The thing about America is that we have such diabetes without the normal global triggers. Unlike countries that are poor and have nothing but rice, we have no good excuse for eating badly.
-
Although, to be truthful, isn't America a world leader in rice production?
-
Apparently not in total, nor by capita. I know that some places like Arkansas make quite a bit.

Our excuse is the incredible amounts of processed foods being shoved down our throats.

We are starting to cook homemade bread at home. Although, maybe "no bread" is the better option. But lots of very healthy cuisines eat loads of bread.

Yeah its hard to not eat bread... So if you're going to, home made with good ingredients is best.

Trying to figure out and making list what food to eat during my travel.
I understand a lot of food in OZ but as advise of my Doctor, just eat foods that I'm currently eating or what I've used to before the marathon.

I bet Australian food is way less healthy than you are used to

I've marked the Asian Store in google map just in case.

I started my dieting in Jan 2018. Scale when I started was 210 lbs. Today, scale said 189.8. Down 20, 15 lbs to go.
Recently did a road trip with a friend who eats one meal a day. I adopted that more or less since then, I've dropped 5 lbs in under two weeks. The hardest part is weekends at home when my wife is eating three meals - just means I need to find more to keep myself busy and not think about food.

Drop that last meal per day I bet you will lose that last 15 lbs incredibly fast!
Kidding aside, how many calories is that single meal per day? Hopefully you are getting enough essential nutrients.

I'm probably around 1000 cals a day, maybe 1300. I'm not actually counting, just really cutting back.
I should look at a multivitamin. And I definitely need to start the Vit D again. -

At 190 lbs, you probably burn a little over 2,200 calories per day doing almost nothing.
3,500 calories is about 1lbs, not per day, just in general I mean.
To burn that many calories, you either have to eat less, exercise more, or the best option, eat optimally and exercise more.
You don't want to lose too fast, otherwise it'll be hard, and afterwards, you're much more likely to gain it back later. Also, you don't want to lose too slowly, or you'll become hopeless and give up.
Maybe 3 small meals per day, totalling around 2k calories, plus a good amount of weight training and cardio more days per week than not.
If exercise is impossible, then yes, you'll just have to eat less... what can ya do? But if you can, eat healthy and exercise.
