Hi Zarfas
You're right, you can lose weight and eat the wrong things. I lost weight from an unhealthy and unfit state.
I consume somewhere between 35 to 60g of carbs in a full day. Mainly from vegetables. I don't eat fruit apart from some raspberries and blackberries. I eat two large meals a day between 12:30pm and 6:30pm. Just water and black coffee outside these times. Plenty of 'good' fats and oils from meat, oily fish, olive oil, coconut oil.
Gym at 6am with high intensity interval and strength training.
Not for everyone, but importantly, works for me. I have stamina particularly mental alertness I need in my work. Also used to suffer depression - that's completely gone.
It used to be said you can't change your genetics. Whilst true in what we have inherited, the research in epigenetics is revealing we can either turn on or turn off the expression of genes through diet, lifestyle and environment
So we can't change what we can't change, but there is a heap of things we can do to optimize our individual health, if we choose to do so. Knowledge, with application, is power.
Tommy Turtle is a nickname I got when I was a kid. It just stuck
Cheers Tom
