  • Omgosh I had no idea! Thanks for letting me know!
  • Update: I've been doing 1200 calories (up from 1100) but cutting my carbs down... I stopped taking the aldactone that was making me crazy.. And I'm 3.5 pounds down this week!!!! Thank you all for your replies, support, and suggestions. You've made me a MFP addict now!! Lol <3
  • I've tried this stuff. First of all, "cleanses" are mere laxatives. Laxatives make you poop. A lot.a lot more than youd normally poop. You also poop a lot of water and naturally balancing properties that will come out on its own naturally. When you force it, you get terrible stomach cramping (because your stomach is…
  • Do you recommend Paleo @mamapeach910 ?
  • To be fair, my endocrinologist is pretty uninvolved and was unhappy with the calorie restriction in the new diet, just said he'd help me to not run so many low blood sugars while I did it if I insisted. The other doctor told me I burn 1400-1600 a day based on a scale I stepped on. She had essentially the same info that I…

  • Thank you for your response! Does it say Im 17?? I'm sorry, I'm actually 25! I'm in shock hearing that 1100 calories is so little.. She said it would be ideal to eat even less as long as it was throughout the day and I could expect 1-2 lb loss per day. I told her 1100 is the least Id go. Wow!
  • The flare ups usually cause weight loss from water loss and recent 6-10 per day bathroom trips.. If ya catch my drift lol No, totally.. I've stopped the shakes and aldactone completely.
  • So I did the calculator.. And I'm confused about the results? My bmr 1493 and my tdee is 2053... It says my calorie intake for "reckless weight loss" is 1500 cal a day.. Am I reading that correctly?! I've been starving myself at 1100 calories a day eating 3 oz of protein and lettuce..
  • My Endo said he feels the calories are strict but will help bc my weight loss is so stubborn. He isn't very involved and I have lowered all my insulin pump levels to accommodate my drop in carbs. I try to stay as low carb as possible. I'm at 69 grams per day / 25%... I put that ratio in place myself as the doctor gave me…
  • Yes. She's an internist/MD and she does medical dieting. Some people do all liquid shakes they purchase through her (3.50 each) some do shakes and nutrition plan, some do only nutrition. She offers vitamin b shots and supplements for sale as well. It's a co pay to see her, 20 bucks for the shot, 20 bucks to step on her…
  • Thank you all for such great responses! I'm new here but I will definitely scour the forums and support groups!!
  • Thank you for the reply! Yes, this is starting week 4. The doctor said most people lose at least 3 pounds their first week and def lose SOMETHING week to week but "everyones different". The Dr never gave me a caloric restriction before yesterday. The original plan was to have a shake for breakfast, lunch, and mid day snack…
