Should have included proteins as well.
I don’t ever count fruits I eat as a negative.
Veggies it’s more the starchy ones are less frequent and the non starchy ones more frequent.
I will still eat a whole micro-wave cooked baked potato plain as my breakfast sometimes. It actually satisfies me until lunch whereas some other breakfast items leave me hungry an hour or two later.
Like I said, everybody’s different.
Thanks for caring. I know that if I could lose some of my belly maybe my back would be better. I am trying.
Here is the lowdown....feel hungry for on straight week you lose one two two pounds. Feel hungry for 30 days straight you lose 4 to 6 pounds. Feel hungry, lose weight
I’ve lost 45 pounds and kept it off on WW in the last year and a half via the app. People take the WW guidelines and eat every possible way - vegetarian, low carb, vegan, etc. Please be sure to look at what others post and join the various groups on the app for support.
They changed the rules in November, and I wasn’t really thrilled with the changes. I had been on purple plan which had a huge list of free foods including potatoes, brown rice, and everything I would want. Others are still having success with the new version.
I’ve been on a plateau for too long, so I’m moving to more Sugarbusters - low carb to get things moving again. I may not be tracking perfectly, but I’ll do whatever it takes to lose those last 15 pounds!
Thanks, just found out I am pre-diabetic and diabetes runs in our family. Dr. wants me to be on a low-carb, low sugar diet. I had tried one of the “medical-weight” loss type plans that worked extremely well years ago while I ate their food. Once I reached my target weight and I was free to eat anything, my weight crept back up.
I’m hopeful this will give me the opportunity to use everyday foods rather than the specialty stuff that doesn’t help long term and is expensive to boot.
Once you learn to cook with keto substitutes (like coconut flour), you'll be amazed at how delicious it can be. And fun.
As a side note, once you get the keto habit down pat, you'll discover plenty of "cheats" that aren't supposed to be keto but work just fine for you (i.e., won't kick you off ketosis).
I eat a wide range of vegetables that are supposedly taboo (an occasional sweet potato, sweet peas, homemade hummus...the list is endless). To discover what works for me, I just rely on the keto sticks.
Start walking as much as you can if you don't already. I started out walking and it evolved into trail running (which is, for me, a combination of hiking and running). I am 73 y/o and in incredible physical condition. It all started with gentle cardio and keto.
Re: exercise, cardio is the key. Lifting is great but it is only the cherry on top. The base is cardio...and the more the better. Walking, biking, swimming, rowing, jogging slowly. The habit comes quickly and you will feel immediately better. All those great brain chemicals (endorphins, serotonin, dopamine, etc.) start flowing immediately.
