I have of list of NO NO foods that pretty much tell you , eat everything except these foods LOL


Here is a concise list of foods to avoid that are discussed in this chapter. You may want to memorize it or copy it, as it is worth learning.

Sweets and Sweeteners
• Powdered sweeteners (other than stevia)
• Candies, especially so-called sugar-free types
• Honey and fructose
• Most “diet” and “sugar-free” foods (except sugar-free Jell-O gelatin when the label doesn’t mention maltodextrin, and diet sodas that do not contain fruit juices or list other carbohydrate on the label)
• Desserts (except Jell-O gelatin without maltodextrin—no more than ½ cup per serving) and pastries: cakes, cookies, pies, tarts, et cetera
• Foods containing, as a significant ingredient, products whose names end in -ol or -ose (dextrose, glucose, lactose, mannitol, mannose, sorbitol, sucrose, xylitol, xylose, et cetera), except cellulose; also, corn syrup, molasses, maltodextrin, et cetera

Sweet or Starchy Vegetables
• Beans: chili beans, chickpeas, lima beans, lentils, sweet peas, et cetera (string beans, snow peas, and bell and chili peppers, which are mostly cellulose, are okay, as are limited amounts of many soybean products)
• Beets
• Carrots
• Corn
• Onions, except in small amounts
• Packaged creamed spinach containing flour
• Parsnips
• Potatoes
• Cooked tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, and raw tomatoes except in small amounts
• Winter squash

Fruit and Juices
• All fruits (except avocados)
• All juices (including tomato and vegetable juices— except for some people, in a Bloody Mary)

Certain Dairy Products
• Milk
• Sweetened and low-fat yogurts
• Cottage cheese (except in very small amounts)
• Powdered milk substitutes and coffee lighteners
• Canned milk concentrate

Grains and Grain Products
• Wheat, rye, barley, corn, and lesser-known, “alternative” grains, such as kasha, quinoa, and sorghum
• White, brown, wild rice, or rice cakes
• Pasta
• Breakfast cereal
• Pancakes and waffles
• Bread, crackers, and other flour products

Prepared Foods
• Most commercially prepared soups
• Most packaged “health foods”
• Snack foods (virtually anything that comes wrapped in cellophane, including nuts)
• Balsamic vinegar (compared to wine vinegar, white vinegar, or cider vinegar, balsamic contains considerable sugar)


DR. BERNSTEIN

I am on Hormones too so , yeah I am not losing like I should but I have lost almost 30 pounds . (110 days)

And make lots of leftovers for a quick bite. I find the easiest way to fail when busy is to not plan ahead for food "emergencies".

And don't forget to increase your sodium/salt as you cut carbs or you may end up feeling even MORE fatigued if your electrolytes go low. Not good.

Why do you want to go back to low carb if it was not successful for you in the past?

Has something changed that leads you to believe you will now be successful with that way of eating?

Also, low carb and no carb are very different - depending on your carb goal, you can totally fit some bread and some pasta into the plan and still stay on target. Do you know what goal carb limit you are going to target?

Regarding the anemia - your body is not able to absorb iron without sufficient vitamin C and your body can't store C. So if you don't eat a lot of C rich foods with your meals, then your best bet is to take a C supplement with every meal. That way you can get the most bioavailability from the iron sources you do eat.

Great advice @Phoenix_Dawn . Getting healthy is far more than just numbers on a scale. It is healing your body and your mind. Sometimes your body doesn't want to cooperate. But just stick with it.
