Good on you! 😊🤙🏼 Just screenshot that. Thanks!
-
Awesome! Noted, thanks all. 🙏🏼

Right?? Why am I taking flak for this? At any rate, just discovered this community a couple days back. Got lots of random questions to unpack. I’m sure my curiosity will taper off at some point once I get the weight loss going again. Thanks @MikePTY. Eric

Thanks @cwolfman13!

Potatoes seem to be high on everyone’s list. I’ve been avoiding them for years because they’re starchy and carb heavy. I may give them another look.

Appreciate the feedback. You and I may be on opposite ends of the spectrum. That’s good on you! I’m about 55lbs overweight and in my late 30s. While I’m not yet pre-diabetic, as it might be. It is still a concern for me. I prefer to stay on offense with respect to managing my blood sugar. I do this in tandem with managing…

Ah, check it out. We both learned something today. Thanks for the feedback @AnnPT77. 😊👌🏼

It’s an issue for all of us. I actively try to manage it and I’m wanting to learn if others who do the same are doing it better is all. Currently, I consume soluble fiber with all meals, seek out foods with a low glycemic index when I can, and consume 16oz of cinnamon tea a day. All of which require a great deal of…

Ok, so a quick look at what Amazon is peddling gets me half the mgs your brand has. Out with it @AnnPT77! 😜

Yeah booyyyy! Sounds like my kind of poison. 730mg p/ tbsp, hot damn! Thanks for sharing! 🤙🏼 Eric

That's dope @monkeefan1974. I like this. I'm not ready to let go of the meal logging crutches yet but it's something to work towards. You get a :star: and my appreciation for today's input. :smiley:
-
Alright alright, noted. Watch the portions, keep intake at a deficit. Running ain't sh#t in and of itself. Copy that! :smile:
-
Yessir! I will check out Athlean-X as you prescribed. Many thanks my man! :smile: All the best! Eric

@pierinifitness no pre-diabetes here man. Asking the questions and reading through the responses keeps me on a war-footing is all. When I start getting all lax about my diet, these are the things I'll be thinking about. Just recorded another 2lb loss this morning and my energy is up. All is good in the 'hood currently. :-)…

Bam! That's my jam. :-)

Ooh, I've not heard of a lupini bean. I'm intrigued. Eric

@pierinifitness congrats on the achievement! I appreciate you man, looking forward to your input. 👍🏼 Eric
-
I’ll take any other tip MFPs might have for either regulating sugar and/or improving gut health. Whaddya got? Eric
-
@monkeefan1974 , you’re a runner dude. That’ll do it! Not sure I’m willing to go there yet. TBD. How’d you get those images of you running by the way? Looks like they were taken by a drone, were they? Eric

I may have been more sensitive to psyllium husk at the onset simply because I had never supplemented fiber and my movements were happening every two days or so, so the sudden daily bathroom visits may have seemed like I was on a laxative. Now that I’ve been using it for some time, I’m pretty regular. Here’s what I’m using,…

I appreciate you, thanks for the feedback. Good for you, what an achievement! 🙌 Anything systematic you implemented to continue eating at lower maintenance level? Things you eat, avoid, foods swapped, cals p/ meal, etc? Perhaps you read/listened to something that shifted your mindset? Pray tell. 😊 Eric
-
Are you kidding me?! That’s awesome! Totally practical and easy to implement. Thank you! Eric
-
How about exercising your MIND via podcasts and audiobooks while driving? Maybe safer and if any of the podcasts and/or books are about dieting/exercise you’ll have a wealth of inputs and ideas to implement when your not driving. 😊👍🏼 Eric

Think of it as a Coke. They’re really not that different. Yep, you can have a Coke on rest days. Eric

Connect with your “why”. If you’re lacking motivation you most likely haven’t thought through why you want to lose the weight in the first place. Write the question down in a notepad, “Why does losing weight matter to me?”. Keep the notepad by your bed and jot down an answer before bed and first thing when you wake up in…

I aim for 5g of soluble fiber with each meal, alternating between pre-soaked chia seeds and psyllium husk in water. 30-35g total daily fiber sounds about right. If you’re bloated you could be consuming too much in a short period of time or your not getting enough water for the amount of fiber your consuming. I used to have…
