This is so awesome! We are human! I know very thin people who binge so it isn't just a fat person issue. The best way to deal with it is self love and not self hate.

I went cold turkey this time and had zero issues, not even a headache, but I attribute that to quitting gluten and sugar months before hand...and then I had one heck of a time!!! omg. not pretty!!!!

It's called low carb flu. It pretty normal, especially if you are cutting out sugar/gluten, you body will go through withdrawals...at least mine did!

Awesome feedback!!! Can't wait to try this out. Admittedly I am scared as I have binge eating disorder, but Im not even going to try it until a)I stall or b)I go back to America is September. :)

This!! I AM diagnosed and the GP supports low carb/keto eating for me as it helps not only with weight loss but with bloating and water retention. I am able to lose more this way than I am on just a calorie controlled diet. Here on MFP you will come across lots of opinions of people telling you what to do to your body. Do…

Yes....but still half way to go so I dont feel I can celebrate just yet! Well done to everyone on this thread!!!!

Heh I missed that question! For the first two weeks on LCHF I had the runs! And now things go just fine (codeine use aside). I use most of my carbs for leafy green veg and salad and get more fibre than some carb loving peeps.

Sent a request :)

Thing is...people with insulin problems...carbs just exacerbate hunger. If I eat carbs that are not vegetables or berries I am STARVING at 2000 cals. When I eat low carb I am very satisfied between 1200 and 1800 with no urge at all to eat. THIS is how the low carb diet is superior to ME, it allows me a deficit without…

If fat shaming worked I woulda been thin by age 7. If shaming for being different worked I wouldnt have been one of those kids in high school that wore mismatched converse and carried a sesame street lunchpail (it was the 90's!! lol) Instead I have grown up to be a unique adult with piercing and tattoos not giving a flying…

I think this is a fantastic way to eat....for me. I am not the type of person to claim to have the answers for everyone, but for me, this is easily sustainable for the long term. I DO eat carbs but you would be surprised how little carb g's you use eating green veg. For me, I have metabolic disorder, PCOS and insulin…

This is where I hope to end up. With a balanced semi low carb diet and heavy lifting. Right now though I am sedentary due to disability and super low carb is the best way to reduce weight to fit into BMI charts so I can get my hips replaced. All of the research I have read in the past month about low carbing and ketosis…

This x's a million! I have pcos, IR, and binge eating disorder. At the end of the day it IS about calories, but for me a big part in keeping calories under control is keeping cravings far far away and being full. The more carbs I eat, the harder it is to stick to calorie goals. This is not a personality defect, I have…

I've been toying with the idea of a refeed once every 2 weeks, but I need to do more research into it. From what I gather, refeeds are useful for those who workout a lot....I don't...yet....so as someone with a lot of fat to shed, I need to work out if it will benefit me or just slow me down. that pic looks amazing btw lol.

Egg yolks are yum! I seriously struggle with breakfast myself. I would rather have a creamy coffee and have a brunch meal. Im one of those people who take a couple of hours to wake up and have my wits about me, much less feed myself. My brunches this week have been devilled eggs (sandwich filler, homemade) inside a few…

Thanks :) No surgery is not a quick fix at all. I had a sleeve gastrectomy (only the stomach bit) and lost just under 150 quickly but then hit a plateau and then started to GAIN!!!! With a lot of soul search and working out how my body works and how to get it to lose weight has been quite the journey! I'm not as lucky as…

Thank you all for your touching comments :) It's nice to get positive feedback to spur me along to lose the second lot of 200lbs! :) Hopefully I will have a thread in the next 2 years celebrating 400+lbs lost! That would be AWESOME! :D

whew! Took 5 tries but I got it!!!

ok, hopefully I did this right! It's not the most recent as I am about 20lbs lighter than the last pic, but I shall update soon enough :) ok..fail...let try AGAIN!!

Oh how I miss Torani! America has so many awesome things! I have used DaVinci before, but it just isn't the same!!! Might tuck some away in my suitcase next time Im out there :)

I totally agree lchf is MUCH easier. I have binge eating disorder which is a struggle, so say the least, to keep under wraps if carbs are in the picture. But I have just completed day 7 of 5% cabrs and not one single slip up. I don't think that has EVER happened. And without slip ups, there is no food guilt...which is…

Thanks for the warm welcome :) Ive been doing good with eating more fat than protein, except for today. Im all out of whack today! I think it was the tuna for lunch that pushed me over, still have higher fat grams but its too close for comfort. How do you guys feel about sweeteners? I know some people are hardcore and…

I really like this WOE. I have no cravings, well...except its that time of month and last night there was a commercial for ice cream lol, but that was advertising at its best, as soon as it was over and I distracted myself I didn't want it :) I have been officially diagnosed with binge eating disorder years ago, been in…

Hiya, Im a yank in the UK too :) Been here 6.5 years! Welcome!

I own one, but it is now confiscated and buried in the cupboard. I get a bit OCD...which isnt good with an ED, so now I weigh weekly at my GP office. Although I am tempted to buy a body analyser once I hit a certain goal. Look for loose fitting clothes, tape measure, more flexibility, stamina, etc as this is a health…

I look at it this was: if I can cover it up and still fit in a roller coaster seat then WIN, lol. If not, fail. Still not there yet, but I will! If I had the sleeve to do all over again it would be a heck yes! And Im going to be drowning in skin when Im done, but I dont care as long as me and my skin fit on a roller…

Im 2.5 years out and can eat masses! I've brought it up with my surgeon since my 6 month check up and he just shrugs his shoulders lol...thanks! So yeah, dieting is still very much a part of my life but the sleeve helps :)

If you click on the cog thingy on the group page you can untick notifications and you can also hide group posts. I think that should help but with the rate facebook breaks things ie:new and improved, who knows!
