  • You are doing so well! I've enjoyed reading your posts. I'm on the JUDDD diet, but I incorporate carb cycling with the JUDDD. I have read Chris' book, and I'm a bit confused about the slingshot. I saw that you mentioned you did do that awhile back. How are you "supposed" to do that? Just when you have a plateau or…

  • I have a very low metabolism, compared to someone my same size, age, weight, height who does NOT have PCOS. It has always been very difficult for me to lose weight. I started dieting at age 8. I've found a tweak that's been helping me. I was doing the JUDDD, and the weight stalled. I wasn't counting carbs at the time,…

  • Not sure if you've seen this: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18678372 It is rather discouraging, but might help you not to beat yourself over the head so much when you feel like you've "failed".

  • I have a lot of facial hair, and a lot more body hair than most. I'm light skinned, but those whiskers shine in the light. lol I pluck and shave. I don't worry about it anymore. I figure that there are worse things in life.

  • Years ago, I'd drink a six pack easily. I quit a long time ago after getting really sick and hearing all of the negatives. Enter dieting... I can't quite get addicted to them again. i wish I could since it'd make dieting more tolerable. I drink approximately 5 cans per week. I certainly don't guzzle it anymore. I can't see…

  • I don't strictly watch the carbs, though I have in the past. I think it's probably in the 100 - 125 range per day on a feed day. I no longer do JUDDD but this is the link: http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/juddd/738462-what-juddd-come-inside-see.html This is my IF schedule for this week. Notice the three 30-37 hour fasts.…

  • I was diagnosed with PCOS 23 years ago. I've never lost weight like a normal person. NEVER. I started dieting at age 8. My body automatically lowers its metabolism to accommodate my diet. At 51, I've about tried them all, at one point or another. It wasn't until I started calorie cycling (JUDDD, IF) recently that I have…

  • When I was a teenager, I lost 60 lbs over a period of five years. Once I lost that weight and still felt fat at size 16, the only way I could keep it off was to keep my calories below 1000. I exercised at least three times a week. My metabolism was super slow after years of chronic dieting. I didn't gain the weight because…
    in Why did/didn't you regain weight? Comment by jenericstewart November 2012
  • How about different metabolisms? I've never lost weight like everyone else. Been dieting since I was 8. Years and years of dieting takes its toll. With my experiences, I'd never undermine someone's complaints of dieting difficulties. I do believe that the less you've dieted, the easier you'll lose weight. Not only that,…
