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.
Well - there hasn’t been any yo-yo in 6 months outside of indulging in carbs on a cheat basis and that’s been maybe twice in the same time frame.
The only real things I’m avoiding are potatoes, rice, soy, and wheat products (bread/noodles).
Protein, vegetables, and fruits - fresh and not processed. My energy is up and after the first few weeks there are no cravings.
I’m 5’9 at 165 lbs. I’d prefer to get to 155 lbs, but feel good where I’m at.
I’m sleeping better than before as well.
