For me it would be the carbs...that's a guarantee of about 5 pounds of water weight...

I think that you're gonna find a million different answers to this question...so choose what you want to try and go do it. If it works for you, keep at it. If it doesn't work for you or you hate it, toss it. There are contradictions in all of weight loss / nutrition / working out so you just have to decide what you are…

If you know it happens and you aren't freaking out over it, why the worry? Just know it's gonna happen and choose not to weigh for a few days after you eat it... I would assume it's the sodium and amp up your hydration to flush that excess sodium out faster.

The truth is you can't spot trim / spot lose weight - even if you had not had abdominal surgery.

@jgnatca - they were worried the A1c was too low at 6...

It doesn't sound like moderation with wine works for the OP. This sounds like more of an issue of/with addiction rather than an issue of diet. I would approach it from that angle rather than a moderation angle. There are just some people that can't have ANY alcohol, period. And there is nothing wrong with that, you just…

The only reason an low A1c would/could/should cause concern is if you're having hypoglycemic issues. If you aren't, you're good to go. If you are having issues that's something to address. Most people who haven't had type 2 diabetes and reversed it don't understand that.

I would recommend IF combined with LCHF, striving to stay in ketosis. You can't going to help your metabolism / insulin resistance by going back to carbs.

Fake sugar (splenda, sweet N'low, stevia, truvia, etc) are all worse for you than natural sweeteners (sugar and honey) for a myriad of reasons. If you want to cut the sugar carbs you are going to just have to bite the bullet and do it - there really isn't anything that works other than that. Cold turkey and then if you can…

^^^ THIS. You really should go back on meds and work to get yourself right and happy before even considering bringing a child into your life. And you need to sort out what you want, what you need, and what you're willing to put up with (LONG TERM) from your SO. He sounds like he is manipulating controlling man. He isn't…

If you wait until you're thirsty to start drinking your water - your body is already starting to be dehydrated. Instead of guzzling a bunch of water to get in a certain amount - you should be sipping all day long. Yes foods have lots of liquds in them but you aren't going to get all the fluid that your body needs from your…

How did you change your eating habits? The average American only eats about 14 grams of fiber per day and the body actually needs 30 grams of fiber per day... Things that come to mind: More water - I have to drink upwards of 100 ounces each day More fiber More movement More fat - this is important! If that doesn't work you…

^^^ Not true actually. Fake sugar (whether it says it was derived from natural or not) are not good for you - do some goolging and read about how bad splenda is for you. Anything that is processed away from its natural state is not as good for you as what you can find naturally. Less processing/less refined = better. So…

Because long term diet and exercise don't work for people who have a significant amount of weight to lose. Think between 3-5%. Many people have a broken metabolism from lifelong yo-yo dieting. It isn't b/c they are lazy or eating their *kitten* off. It's a matter of body mechanics and metabolism. You only have SO much…

Contrary to the whole diet "mentality" I think you aren't eating ENOUGH. You have to give your body enough calories and food so that it will allow you to drop weight. If you are working out that much you should probably add in some more food. You have to eat to lose weight - funky think I know. But if you aren't giving…

You can get a vast number of protein powder from the internet....all you have to do is a google search. I recommend - Champion Pure Whey Stack - it comes in chocolate, vanilla, cookies & cream, bananna scream...and those are the flavors off the top of my head...you can find them at www.allstarhealth.com As for an…
