I am struggling with a weight maintenance on American food, everything is either sweet or fat laden, especially here in Utah. I came from South Africa and have never had this problem before eating the food here. I still eat mainly protein, fish or chick, with a lot of salads, vegs, and fruit. I have been diagnosed and I am receiving treatment for Type 2 Diabetes (not genetic) but would like to get off the medication and lose at least 30 lbs.
