WELL SAID!!

Thank you for your concern, I'll keep it in mind! I don't think the calories in a bowl of porridge will make me fat, but i have/had concerns about the overall effect. I will try it tough, see how it works out for me :)

If you had read the thread maybe you would have had a little more insight into why im asking. Seriously, questioning if it's a real concern for the OP must be one of the low-points of health related forums.

I found something similar and just ordered that, can't wait to try it out.

Thanks, very interesting :) I would be at about the same carb intake if i were to start with the oatmeal :)

Thank you :) Im 33, female, 176 cm and weigh 120 kg (5'7 and 264 lbs). I have been extremely inactive. This week i started walking, and I will keep doing that. About 1-2 hours for 3 days/week. I have found a balance in what im doing now, in that im not really struggling and i dont feel the need to become more extreme. Both…

That sounded perfect! Specially the part about just adding hot water. I will try to find it in my country, thank you for the tip!

We seem to be on the opposite poles of the Can-You-Handle-Your-Carbs-Spectrum, lucky you ;) A large part of what im feeling in the beginning of the week is just carbs-hunger. That sneaky feeling that so many times have told me that im hungry while im so full I feel sick. At the moment I have more problems with eating all…

You are right, experimenting is probaly the only way to really know. I might wait for the next plateu, and give it a try then :)

What you are eating sounds yummy :) I read that it's low gi when cooked on the stove, due to the slower process. Blasting it in the microwave was said to raise it's gi. Altough i don't know if its true or not...

Really? O_o I was at a lower intake, but raised it cause of safety concerns. Now you are telling me 1200 might not be enough either? And "not eaten any", i do eat? I also don't feel to tired or that im lacking energy, wich i feel i would if i ate to little? I know carbs don't make "general you" fat, but carbs do make…

Almond milk, thats a great idea! If i decide to try, I will def start out trying almond milk.

Im pretty sure it's the carbs and higher amounts of food that makes me feel hungry part of the week. Towards the end of the work week, when I im several days away from carbs and eat about 800 cal/day, im much less hungry than at the beginning of the week. In the beginning of my weightloss I ate about 600-800 cal/day, every…

Thats great news :) Do you eat pasta, bread, potatoes and the like during the rest of the day? Do you usually react to carbs or high GI?

I have assumed that im loosing due to calorie deficit, altough it might be a combination of that and not eating that much carbs. Porridge would be at aprox the same cal, but with a significant amount more carbs. If low amount of carbs aids my weightloss, porridge would slow it down. I also fear a high GI one might make it…

Thank you! :) Oh sorry, yes it is. Kcal: calories. I did'nt think i could either, to be honest im not sure how im doing it... I started with a goal of max 800/day, and never managed to eat that O_o Was really hungry the first day tough. Drank a cup of bullion, that made it feel better. Normal day now, when eating a bit…

I know starvation diets isnt the most sensible thing to do. Almost all my previous tries have been rolemodels for moderation: lower calorie consumption (but never below 1 200), and gradually increased physical activity. And i've failed them all. I rather lose weight with a bad diet than fail another good one.

Thank you, i will absolutely try! After so many tries and fails, i really feel that this is the time it will work!

Maybe I should try the french dressing then! Im thinking maybe I could put the peanut spread in thai chili. Like chicken, broccoli, coconut milk, sambal oelek, peanut spread...

Nice work! I admire your strong will, making big decisions like only drinking water just like that. How much kcal do you consume each day? Since a few weeks I only eat about 600-900 kcal/day, it has both ups and downs but if nothing drastically changes I will keep going.

I tried an exercise a few days ago, and I could hear my knees crunching. Oups. Swimming seems fairly realistic tough. Ill try that!

I do, and im kind of bitter about the fact that PCOS is such a neglected disease. I have had 3 different doctors diagnose it, and none of them went on to explain it or discuss possible treatments. Now I want to get pregnant, and atleast I have a great fertility doctor that takes me trough those steps. At the same time im…

Wow, that is really impressive! Thanks for sharing, it was very inspirational to read :)
