Hi. I’m back after a long break to deal with health and family isssues. I have a few health problems that make weight loss difficult and every flare up or illness is treated with steroids which make weight gain easy. I’m done torturing myself with illness specific diets that did nothing they claimed. I’m just taking my endocrinologists advice and focusing on just plain healthy eating and trying to stay well long enough to add exercise.
It’s been very frustrating for me. I would appreciate accountability, but I would not appreciate having any of the “you have to do this” fanatics who think because I’m not straight laced gluten free, Atkins, AIP, Paleo, veg, etc there is something wrong with me. I know that sounds harsh. If it worked for you, great. I’m just looking to eat healthier and do my best to not gain any more weight.
Thanks.
