Endo Dr tells me I'm losing to much weight. Discouraging.

He is a trained professional who has dedicated over a decade to his training. I think you should listen to him rather than all the people on here who say otherwise. He is an expert. These people are anecdotal experts.

At your age, weight, height your beginning loss is not that extreme at all. Why were you in the doc? Routine or are there issues that he was factoring in with your loss? You'd think he would be cheering you on, that's what my first reaction was. You know, I had a so-called specialist tell me my issues were "all in my head" and to go see physc....never went back to the idiot....saw diff docs that made me whole and well. Not one thought it was "al in my head".

So there. I prob would go see a diff endo doc if I was in your shoes. Good luck to you on your weight loss and keep doing what it is your doing because obviously its working for you!!

I had to go to him because I developed gullium barre and the neurological doctor suggested I go to a specialist encase there was any thyroid involvement.

Certainly nothing to sneeze at, geeze! Def show him your food log and bring it w/you to your other docs too....does your food choices aggravate this? Does he think you even have it? So many factors in their professional opinion. At any rate, it sounds like you need a second opinion no matter what the diagnosis is.

Main reason he wanted me to check out an endocrine doctor is because I was "so big" and was doing nothing according to him for my health. He wanted me to take physical therapy and see a endo Dr. After 3 bad spinal taps and a hospitalization all he had was maybe my thyroid could be effecting the spinal fluid. He couldn't get a drop so his diagnosis was based on electric needle things. (Forget the name of that..) And the weakness I was having to the point of not being able to walk.

Developed Guillain Barre in 2008. Was not a flipping joke. Paralzyed and almost died. Not cool.

I don't want to live by the scale, or posting everyday. That's why I stopped posting what I eat here. Sometimes I wish I did calculate what I ate a day to demonstrate to people assuming like you are I am going in such a low dangerous calorie deficit. I could post today what I ate to help?

I kind of don't care what the "true" macros are, I was so killed on calculating them everyday I got burnt out. Either I am over or I am close. The super low calorie intake is absurd to what I have ate. Sure you are right I 'should' track better but I got sick of a website owning a portion of my day with posting stuff.

I weigh myself 2x a day and log what I eat but I don't feel like I live by the scale, nor do I feel like a website owns a part of my day. Logging what I eat probably takes me about about 15 mins a day. Granted, I don't take much notice of the macros except for the protein but, once you get the hang of it, it doesn't take all that much time.

Yes. This.

it concerns me that you are not hungry at all and that you are only up a few hours a day. A little more food may give you the energy you need to be more active. ergo needing more fuel.

It may sound as if he is overreacting, but I think you have a doctor who genuinely cares. Don't downplay his concerns too much. I hope you find ways to effectively deal with your stress. Stress doesn't do the body any good, ande it won't help on an emotional level either. I don't believe in waiting until you are hungry to eat. Eat something small at regular intervals if need be but eat~healthy balanced and tasty mixtures of carbs fats and proteins. We don't wait until the car wont start to fuel it up~treat your body the same way.

Logging is still beneficial to you. I get the sense though, that since youre losing weight~ and isn't that the whole point~ you see no need to bother. Until its all under control and you have a healthy weight and eating habits I would say its necessary . hate to harp, but thats what the mother in me does.

To be fair, it's easy to not feel hungry on a ketogenic diet. Fat is naturally satiating, and you don't have the insulin spikes like a high-carb or higher-protein diet creates.

That said, I largely agree with this post, even the part about "don't wait until you're hungry." At the moment, it sounds like your (OP) hunger signals may still be messed up. Get it calibrated correctly, then you can listen to your body. Until then, you need to make sure you're eating enough.

OP, I can sympathize with not liking to log. Unlike some of the people that have posted on this thread, I started developing issues from it. I became obsessed with the numbers on the chart, and it wasn't healthy for me to do it on a regular basis. Now, I do it for short times to make sure I'm still on track. I think it would be good to track from now until your next endo visit, and when you get ready for it, print out your log to show him that you are, in fact eating. This will also give you a gauge of how much you're actually eating.

A quick fill-in of the fields for http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/ and setting it to sedentary, you should probably be eating about 2500 to lose weight at a decent rate, so you should try to eat about that (I know, it seems like a ton of food, you'll need to go after calorie-dense foods).
