in Introduce Yourself
Hiya,

I am back and forth between Austria and the UK. Have been using MFP for about a month now!

I have learned SOOO much! I was eating rubbish and didn't understand how my body worked with regards to nutrition and exercise.

This past month has been a wonder in terms of the amount of information and feedback I have received to start me on my weightloss journey.

I can tell you that those FAT DAYS are in the past. First time in my life I have felt this way, and am enjoying this feeling.

btw, am on basically a LOW CARB, High Protein, High Fat diet (Paleo) for past week. The results I have come from 2 weeks being on that diet.

It works for me!

    You've been doing very well. I'm just new yesterday. I did WW before and lost 2 stone. Ive put a stone back on so time to shift it again.

    I did WW years ago. I can't remember losing weight with it...but I think it was a 30day subscription.

    I liked it though...seemed pretty easy.

    However, I figured out that my body releases fat when I don't feed it so many carbs. Other diets made me hungry constantly.

    This diet is the LESS I have eaten consistently in such a period (all my life) without feeling deprived.

    Im shocked about it...but totally happy:-).

    I wish I had done this years ago!

    hey there, I've had the same results as you, I started eating Paleo about a month ago and I'm losing 2-3 lb a week of fat (no muscle loss) and my energy levels have stabilized, so Paleo works for me !

    Its amazing isnt it? I have NEVER lost weight like this before. I did try Atkins before, but I dont think I was in "ketosis" ever hehehe.

    I wish I could see what is going on inside me....because my body is working hard! hahaha.

    Also, the fact that I am not hungry...and that my energy levels are at the same as normal.

    Earlier this year I was diagnosed with anaemia....and I was sooooooo fatigued.
    I dont think I really fully recovered...then I started the Paleo...then boom.....my energy levels are UP without my continuing to take those strong Ferrous Sulfate tablets!

    Love it!

    It was specifically the crazy energy ups and downs that drove me to look for a fundamentally different way to eat. I had no idea eating Paleo could have such a stabilizing impact on your energy levels. For me that's been a better result than the fat loss !

    Well I cant comment on your particular situation....unless I knew what you ate and your activities...

    My mother is on dialysis after years of diabetes...and I am not going to let my body constantly keep insulin in it with carb overload.

    The average westerner has like 3 times or more MORE carbs than the body needs daily....
