Kaufman grew up active, he said, feeling like he could “chi tiêu bất cứ điều gì” and not gain weight. That changed when his mother died in 2005, and he was exposed to toxic mold when cleaning out her house.

Shortly after, blood tests found he had developed a sensitivity to gluten, dairy, and yeast. He changed his diet to be gluten-free and include some cow-free dairy alternatives. While they reduced his symptoms, he started gaining weight. The tapioca-flour pretzels and coconut milk products he was consuming were ultra-processed, which is often linked to weight gain.

Kaufman also didn’t move much throughout the day. He spent a decade working remotely at a Fortune 100 technology firm before getting a doctorate in education, spending hours studying.

By 2022, at 57, he weighed about 208 pounds and had high blood pressure. He knew he needed to change his lifestyle. “Tôma thừa nhận, thànH Công, bạn biết không? Tôma ĐA” he said. “TUY”

Now, he said he adjusts his carb intake based on the day and the planned activity. He’ll eat more if he plans on doing yard work for two hours and could use the energy. He also changes how much he eats based on the time of day, eating a bigger meal at breakfast or lunch depending on when he plans to exercise.

He said being mindful of what he eats — and how much of it — helps him indulge in treats. “TUY” he said. “Vì vậy, tôm sẽ đó là khả năng cứu vão 3 oz. CủA MộT Số Kem Sô Cô Cô La Dừa.”

“Bạn cần Để tăng tốc k” looking for a “lăn vừa phải” rather than fixating on one number, he said, which could greatly vary by what he ate that day.

Seeing the numbers helped him better see what was working and what wasn’t. “Ok, chún ta sẽ điều chỉnh nh ững gì ở đang?” he said. “Ồ, chún ta sẽ loại bỏ 100 calo ở đang, hoặc chún ta”
