Very informative. Thanks so much for this. I live in the UK so I might have to find alternative products but I'll definitely look into these. Thank you! I love peanut butter so dry peanut butter sounds interesting. Thanks for the texture tip haha. Also I thought MSG was flavourless? I didn't realise it gave off a chicken…

Bless you! I can't even imagine eating that much broccoli in one sitting haha. And same here- I can honestly eat so much food in one sitting if I allowed myself to. 'Tis astonishing! Good luck with your weight loss I love bananas too. They're definitely more filling. I also like overcooked rice with vegetables mixed in as…

Hey again! I don't know tbh. The whole TDEE thing is confusing me at the moment because it's coming up to around 1745 which is so low- in which case eating at 1200 doesn't feel like an extreme deficit? I calculated it at sedentary as I can't walk or do much until my ankle heals. Also I'm around 42% body fat so that lowered…

Bless your heart, thank you so much for the supportive message! It's reassuring to know I'm not alone in this haha. We can do it!

OH MY GOSH YOU ARE A LEGEND! I can't believe I didn't consider the importance of nutrition and enough calories in healing!! I've injured multiple ligaments in my ankle (2 months ago) but I still cannot walk and I still have swelling (so it's pretty bad). This must explain why I'm finding it harder to stick to 1200 calories…

Hiya there, I like the analogy. Thanks so much sharing! I can accept the hunger in and of itself but the symptoms that come with it (nausea, dizziness, inability to sleep, constantly thinking about food) are quite difficult to bear haha

I think it's true hunger to be honest. I feel completely awful, recently accompanied by nausea and dizziness. I'm not even eating thaaat little. I was eating on average around 1100-1350 calories and not moving much (as I'm unable to walk at the moment) for the last 2 weeks. Today I ate much more though to try to 'reset' my…

Thank you!! I tend to only ever eat whole-wheat breads and pittas. I do eat white rice though and I mix it in with vegetables alongside whatever it is that I'm eating. Thanks for the tip!

Wow that was such a great message to read. Thanks so much commenting! Congratulations on your weight loss. You must be so proud of yourself. Yes, I've been trying to keep as busy as possible. I can't walk much until my ankle heals though unfortunately so I can't keep 'active' in that sense I'm trying to be balanced about…

Thanks so much for your advice! Unfortunately I fell down the stairs and have done my ankle in so I can't really walk at all (except using crutches) until I heal. I have been trying to do some resistance training though. When I'm properly dieting I can control my calories very well so I don't tend to eat out of boredom…

Thank you @apullum and thank you @psychod787 Much appreciated

Losing weight slower than 1.5 just seems so slow for someone of my weight. I feel like I should get the ball rolling and then ease down to 1lbs a week once I've lost 14lbs or so. But maybe I should cave in and lower it to 1lbs as of tomorrow. I'm not diabetic or prediabetic as far as I know and no, it wasn't on the…

I am an emotional eater, indeed. But when I'm on a deficit, I'm forever hungry. Tummy rumbling. Nausea. Headaches. Everything. Idk how to stop it Keto just wouldn't work with my lifestyle unfortunately. I try not to eat too much meat and most plant based protein sources are also high in carb. Furthermore, a keto diet is…

@apullum thanks so much for replying! My goal is weight loss I've been working on it for years but keep yo-yoing. I've been in a consistent deficit for 2 weeks as of right now. I feel this way all the time. But the hunger is getting worse and is accompanied by nausea which I try so hard not to give into. Current weight is…

I'm extremely weak. So weak that it's embarrassing. Even lifting 1kg too many times makes my arms ache haha. I really hope to improve this

Thanks so much everyone!! I know it's so slow but I think I'll aim for 1lbs loss a week in order to minimise the risks

Hey guys, sorry I don't know about this topic so can't really input anything but it's interesting to read your thoughts. Thanks :) I'm learning

Awwww thanks so much for your comments everybody! Sorry, I fell asleep before anyone replied haha. I'm super excited but don't want my enthusiasm to burn out and for me to feel like a failure again when I inevitably have bad days. I'm considering embarking on some sort of couch to 5k plan! Is it also worth practicing…

I went and bought some cauliflower today! Thanks so much for your response

Wow thank you so much! Such a thorough and informational post. I really appreciate it

100g seems way more manageable! Thanks!

Hey guys! Wow so much response. THANK YOU SO MUCH. There's a lot to reply to so I'll be concise: The magnesium and electrolytes are a good idea. I'll look into them. For those mentioning multi-vitamins, I don't actually take any. Maybe I should? I'm concerned about expenses though and aim to get most of my nutrition from…

That's so insightful and interesting. Thanks for taking out the time to write the post :)

Thanks so much. Very informative article

Cool! I'll check those subreddits out, thanks :)

I like the idea of this tbh. It feels more natural to me

True that. Moderation is always key in my experience. I don't think going keto would ever be sustainable for my lifestyle or happiness levels. Lower carb is probably a better option. And yeppp. 1 mistake doesn't cost you everything!

Yeah i think maybe I'll have a small amount of carbs today so that my body can get 'weaned off' slowly. Trying keto today was quite spontaneous but I do definitely want to try it. I'll take the advice and go slowly to start with. Thanks :) also helps me to not feel like a failure lol

Thank you so much!! Those comments are really helpful!! :) I appreciate it

I'm not doing keto for weightloss. I'm doing it to lower my insulin levels. Also today is my first day trying it so it's not like it's habitual. I'm finding it difficult and was seeking help from people who have experienced this. Thanks for your input so far :)
