    Good morning! First of all, CrystalBlueWolf13, you're doing a great job as you continue to fight for your health. As a registered dietitian who also struggles with fat and weight loss, I can relate to your frustration.

    The only advice I would give is to try to keep your carbohydrate intake to ~100-150 g per day while increasing your protein and fat intake to make up for the percentage of carbs reduced. Try that for about 2 weeks while continuing all the great habits you've started. Hopefully that will jump start your weight loss again.

    Also, aim to eat non starchy vegetables during 3 meals; using the MyPlate method, try to have the vegetables make up half of your plate.

    Good luck! You can do it.

    Thank you that's been really helpful

    OP there’s a reason that person got a bunch of disagrees. Eat carbs if you want; eat a diet high in carbs if you want. The key is to eat in a deficit...

    You need to find the foods that make you feel full while still eating at that deficit. If you exercise a bunch, you need carbs to fuel your workouts.

    High carb/low carb, keto, Atkins, south beach, weight watchers, etc all have the same thing in common:

    You have to eat at a deficit to lose weight.



    I did not promote keto, Atkins, etc. Instead as a way to reduce bloating, I recommended OP try adjusting her CHO intake as a kick starter for her weight loss again.

    Anyway, we are all allowed to have our own opinions/thoughts. Just want to make it clear I was not promoting living a lifestyle of keto, etc.

    Happy Tuesday everyone.
