I would advise you to change your doctor, or ask to see a nutritionist for advice. Low carb is a crazy and outdated idea, which goes against science. If by low-carb he meant low GI then I could agree. Do your research on what diabetes actually is and you'll see its a build up of fat in your system which stops sugars from…

eat more fibre and water rich foods to help push everything along, i.e. vegetables :) stir fried vegetables without oil works a treat

Yay there are vegans here!! :) Well, plant based for 2 years, I'm not 100% vegan in all areas of my life but the food is 100%. Nearly at my first stone weight loss through eating vegetables, starches and fruit, I would thoroughly recommend bulking up on veggies as they are very filling and let you stick to the 1200 cals…

The way I lose the extra lbs is the keep to the same calories but switch the source, for example getting 200-300cals from greens with dinner provides great nutrition, vitamins, fibre and water and really seems to work, just really clean eating I guess, as 200 cals from fat or sugar is much different from 200 cals of…

How awful :( I can't imagine what you are going through, but I know that lots of anorexics have found health again through watching videos from freelee the banana girl on youtube. She came from a background of anorexia, bulimia and binge eating and eventually went vegan and found health through a whole food plant based diet

You need to focus on high fibre low fat foods: i.e whole foods like grains and vegetables, these are really satiating as they fill your stomach up without as many calories. For example 200 calories translates to only 50g of cheese, but 250g of plain potato or 600g broccolli. Soups are extra filling as they are also full of…

In my experience (which is significant) there are 2 route you can take: 1- Higher fat (which is what you are doing, and 1200 calories 2- Almost no fat and 1600-1900 calories You will lose weight doing both, but in my experience on the higher fat (nuts, avocado, meat, fish, oils) you will feel hungry as there arn't many…

You need to eat more whole foods that are nutrient dense (Not alcohol!!) If you eat CLEAN you don't need to restrict so much. For example, I eat around 1800 cals a day from whole food, including oats, rice potatoes, lots of salad and grilled vegetables, very low fat. It probably helps that I am vegan, but this week, for…

look up raw til 4- freelee the banana girl :) Lots of people finding this to be a sustainable way of life, getting lean and fit, while never being hungry, including myself! Its about keeping low fat and high carb, no junk food, just real clean eating. Minimum calories rather than maximum. Weight loss is seen as just…

Look at Doug Graham's Youtube channel FoodnSport Dr Doug Graham advocates a raw vegan diet for muscle gain

Eating more fiber is the best way to get your system to be efficient in the way it digests food, so increase those veggies and fill up on them! Also, bananas are brilliant! A little known fact is that adults require 5000mg of potassium a day, and each banana has approx 422mg of potassium, so don't be scared to have a few!…

Quick weight loss is very easy, but then you put it all straight back on AND MORE! My advice is give yourself less pressure, more time, make it a lifestyle, eat as much fruit and veg as possible, and concentrate on eating less fat and less salt. You will be happier and the weight will come off naturally as your body…

Fat is stored everywhere on the body, including our breasts, so as you lose weight your breasts will reduce too. I have experienced this first hand as a small-boob girl, going from a tight B cup down to a comfortable A cup. Personally though, I really don't have an issue with it, I'd rather be healthy and slim with small…

Absolutely fantastic! well done
-
if you were to really get organised you could bulk cook, and freeze measured portions. I'm not quite organised enough myself but it would work out well for dishes like chilli con carne or veggie tagine, which you could calorie count everything that goes in and then divide it up and freeze it.
-
Stir fry's are a great option for something different which is low calorie Try to get an much veg in there as possible (extra beansprouts will bulk it out even more), use a measured small amount of oil to stir fry lean meat or seafood, with plenty of ginger and garlic and spring onions for a really tasty dish.

haha

wow! you look amazing!! Thanks for the inspiration

lol, I'll use this!!

I've started the couch to 10k which is extremely motivational, as I want to get better at running, rather than just to log x amount of exercise or x amount of calories. I can now run for 2 mins at a time instead of 30 seconds at a time, and next week I will master 3 minutes at a time. Find a plan that motivates you to…
