11 week observation: diet works!
56M. The tips here really helped! I limited saturated fat to roughly 15g per day and added psyllium powder before one or occasionally two meals per day. Those were the only changes I made. (For context, I was already pretty low-carb but was loading up on animal fats.) Bottom line: diet really does work, at least with me.
