I’ve been on a protein/non-carb diet for the past 6 months.
I love bread and potatoes, but completely stopped. First 2 weeks were difficult due to the carb cravings.
1 meal a day - dinner around 6. Large portion of protein, lot of leafy greens...lettuce, cabbage, peppers and the like. I allow myself onions on occasion. Other than that lots of fluids throughout the day- coffee, tea, water.
In the first month I lost 10 lbs. I’ve been floating at that weight since. If I cheat - like on Thanksgiving, I immediately add pounds back and it takes a week to drop them again.
You have engaged the ‘yo-yo diet’, the inevitable conclusion of all restrictive ‘diets’ of the type.
I encourage you to abandon it immediately and reintroduce healthful carbs in moderation.
You CAN AND WILL lose a pound or more a day in stages by rotating your meals, provided that there aren’t other factors - e.g., gut related - impacting your health.
Do consult with a naturopath.
I have never really been very overweight, I check in at around 185, 5’11 and blood pressure is 125/70 most of the time and I am 63. If I go back to eating one meal a day, I will shed 3-5 pounds a week, regardless of what I eat, but my wife insists on making me a lunch everyday so I pretty much maintain 185-190. We eat NO processed foods, nothing instant, no artificial or imitation anything, she cooks fresh food for every meal we have. Before we were married many years ago, I maintained 175-180 my whole life, but marriage and regular eating tends to add a few pounds here and there occasionally. And I NEVER stop drinking the Red Wine, EVER!
