Thank you for your replies! My biggest weakness is simple carbs, combined with fat. That is what my diet consisted of almost entirely. I find myself looking at the healthier food in my cupboard and turning away again, preferring to not eat instead. I know that won't last long though, I'm not a person who can go without…

No one with any thoughts?

My main reason for trying to avoid sugar is that it causes binging for me. I have never binged on fruit or vegetables however so I feel pretty safe to eat those. I guess I'm not sure if it's the insulin spike that makes me want to eat a whole packet of cookies and then look for more, or if it's just the taste of the food…

Thank you for the advice! I tried a ketogenic diet a few weeks back that was far too strict, to the point that I was consuming around 10g a day of carbs. I ended up binging after about a week and a half and feeling incredibly sick. I didn't end up going back on it because I couldn't be bothered keeping up with all the…

Thank you. I just had some protein and fat and I feel a little better. I hadn't eaten all day because of feeling sick. That wouldn't have helped matters. Being lactose intolerant and binging on chocolate is a recipe for disaster, too.

The thread has turned......lol Thank you, I was avoiding vegetables because I was trying so hard to get enough protein/fat yet stay within 10g of carbs and low calorie. I think if I had been able to eat something else other than meat, it may not have happened. I know I need to up my cals so I can include vegetables and…

Thank you :D

I didn't buy those things, I had done a baking day a few days earlier for my family, plus the kids and my husband had the other stuff in the cupboard for them. The in laws had given them some treats, knowing that I wasn't likely to end up eating them.

WOW.....Thank you so much for your reply. This is what I wanted to know. Not that there wasn't useful information in the other posts, but this was very specific to what I asked.

I don't need advice on my diet or my eating disorder. I just want to know when I will feel better after consuming so much sugar. When I go back into keto, or before? This thread is making me feel worse.

The low calorie amount wasn't just a silly plan. I have an ED which isn't by choice. I either eat that many calories in healthy food ie-ketogenic diet where I avoid carbs and don't binge (a week and a half is very good for me) or I eat carby junk food and feel terrible. I can't just decide to eat the same amount as the…

Sigh.....I was not experiencing nausea and mood swings on keto. Only after the carb binge. Now I would like to know if I am going to feel ill until I go back into ketosis or if I will feel better from drinking a ton of water or something.

I was only wanting to know when the nausea/mood swings would disappear from the binge. Not for help with my ED. Sorry for troubling you.

List of what I ate: Chocolate coconut biscuits Triple chocolate biscuits Chocolate and peanut butter brownie Chocolate bars Chocolate milk I have a chocolate weakness.

I felt good because I was actually eating for a change (although my cals were only 600-1000 per day) and the food was filling. I wasn't getting exhausted by 1pm every day either. I realise I am going to get a whole lot of "don't eat that low". I don't lose any weight at 1200+. My metabolism is naffed.

I have received a whole lot of expensive therapy for eating disorder not otherwise specified. It hasn't helped me so far.

I was in keto though, went into it really quickly and without any 'flu'. I was fine until I binged.

Problem is, I binge anyway regardless of whether I am on a ketogenic diet or not. I was feeling great before I ate sugar, I had never felt so stable in my mood and energy levels.

Premise? I was doing 5/30/65, isn't that what I was supposed to do? Oh sorry, I realised that you were saying don't do low carb. I kind of have to, I have an eating disorder and can't seem to eat carbs without binging on them.

Attention seeker.

I just had mine on grainy toast with leg ham, nom nom!

I have a Sigma 10.11, I think it's fantastic, particularly because it wasn't too expensive and it is very easy to use. It was NZ$70, not sure if they have them in the states.

I will get up in the morning and pick out my clothes, knowing that I can wear absolutely anything in my wardrobe.

I get exactly the same thing. I was 121lbs (5 ft 3) and was comfortable at that weight before having children etc. I keep getting comments like "mums are meant to be a little bit heavier". Why is that? I find this thinking bizarre.

Thank you, apart from excluding legumes, the diet sounds great! Definitely something to think about.

Going to go to an a la carte restaurant with my husband. I might just do that anyway haha, its not like the portions are going to be huge!

How long is a safe time to workout for? I'm willing to go as long as I can since it's my only "me" time that I get also.

I guess this is where the "lifting heavy" concept comes into debate?
