THM anyone?

I'm doing it loving it! The book is very helpful. Message me if you need help

I'm loving THM. It was a bit confusing at first, but after reading the book all the way through then going back through and just finding answers to specific questions it was pretty easy. I love NOT having to count calories. I feel healthier. I really enjoy it. You can join their forums too and find specific help. I just did that today and it seems to be a very friendly community.

I did the calorie deficit way for a while. It worked for losing weight, but did nothing for my health as I was just cutting back on chemicals I put in my body rather than eliminating them and eating healthier.

You can message me with questions if you'd like.

Edited to say: I drove myself crazy with the S/E/FP thing at first too. I don't sweat it anymore. Just make sure I have no carbs with my fats and vice versa. I've found several FP snacks and treats online too, which helps alleviate the need to eat only a certain fuel for three hours. FP can be eaten with either S/E or within 3 hours of having an S or E meal. Did that help or complicate things? lol.

Easy snacks Greek yogurt, sweetener, berries, whip up a smoothie (super fast!), baked blue corn chips are on plan, so you can have those with dip or salsa. Veggies an ranch, whip up a batch of muffins on the weekend to have all week.

Is THM the real deal? A sustainable way to lose weight without counting, measuring, agonizing? You BET!!! I've been a THM for over one year (hello, I've never stuck to calorie counting or weight watchers that long EVER) and I've lost 60lbs following the food wisdom given! Results speak for themselves, people. If you want to bash a book because it's Christian or you "think" it's a fad (even though you haven't read it or followed it) then go ahead! But you'll be missing out on one life changing, health altering, gold mine of information! What has good old all purpose flour and overly processed wheat products with added sugar done for our society? Given us heart disease, diabetes, renal disease, fed cancer, obesity, sugar addiction... There is something vastly more wrong with the way we eat than simply the amount of calories! I see the fruits of the SAD diet every single day as a med/surg RN. Do me a favor and read the book!

THMer here too. I started 2nd trimester and have been doing it since about Aug 2013. LOVE IT!! I have NEVER been consistent with any plan. Even with THM have fallen off the wagon here and there, but since you get back on the wagon with your next meal, I'm still losing and feeling good. I originally started with the calorie counting bit and did lose 20-25 lbs there in addition with jogging, but stopped and maintained for about a year. Started THM and it's been melting off. Regarding calorie counting, that's been debunked. NOT true. makes sense mathematically, but the science doesn't back it up. Don't get me wrong, they do effect your weight gain/loss but not to the extent that has been shoved down our throats. So far total weight loss on my journey has been 50lbs, 40 more to go to goal! I love the grace that you have with THM and learning to have grace with myself, not the "oh crap, I messed up and now have to beat myself up at the gym to counteract what I just did". I love how my joints feel better, feet don't hurt anymore in the morning, no more pot belly (still have a belly-4 babies and remember, still 40lbs away from goal. BUT my stomach doesn't stick out like it used to.) the awesome thing is, it isn't a diet but a lifestyle. it's not something you do to reach goal and then say, "Now what?" it teaches you how to also maintain. how to make sure you're getting enough for pregnancy and nursing, how to treat yourself as a whole person, not just how to lose weight. weight loss is just one facet of it.
