Those are huge struggles and I'm sorry for your losses. It's good you're back! I'm on the tail end of my 50s and those chronic issues are cropping up and also dealing with loss of friends and family. At this point all of us know what to do, finding the motivation is what's hard. For me, a medical diagnosis of LPR was the…

update per @ray_4331 ... I did well on Always Hungry but then I developed what is known as "silent reflux" or LPR and most of what was good on AH was NOT good for reflux. The reflux issue is serious. It was giving me horrible insomnia where I could not breathe/couldn't swallow. So I'm now following an eating plan to heal…

@Sparkuvu, so very sorry yours progressed to Barrets and Schlotsky (also sp?).

Thanks for your stories. First, what makes it "silent" is I have no other gerd symptoms: no nausea, no heartburn, no lower gastro issues. It only presents as "allergies" with a horrible night time insomnia from feeling like I can't breathe, throat is closing. Second, I have great insurance and getting in to see a Gastro…

for those who think keto is too extreme, the AH? plan in phase one allows fruit and beans. This was the selling point to get me to do low-carb.

I've done IF. I've done calorie counting. Neither has worked. I started counting macros and following the Always Hungry? plan and it's working. And, many of the AH? people do IF and I may incorporate that at some point. I do find that cutting the carbs makes me less hungry so I'm naturally not eating after 8pm and in the…

I should add that since that first post, I didn't do much from the first A1C of 5.8. It took a while to get my first appointment with the dietician and when I got my labs done again in April, my A1C shot up to 6.2. That's when I really took it seriously. I don't want to cross over into the T2 range. And that's when I read…

Here's my update. Thanks chadki for askin! I have continued to work with my dietician and she told me about the Always Hungry? book by Dr. David Ludwig. I took a deep, deep dive into this as I have been very low-carb, keto averse. She told me to read about it before I made any decisions. And, this book/this author, was the…

I heard as you age, your body doesn't feel thirst. I got a bottle with hash marks and that is helping me stay on track. I HATE having to carry a bottle around, but I have to do it. I like ice water with lemon.

I go in and out and recently dropped out to do a 90-day challenge with my trainer and using MFP to track. I was spending nearly $45/month and not going to the meetings. I'm only a week in my new program and lost 1.6, but I still had to assemble an accountability team. We'll see how it goes long term. I think WW is an…
