I had four eggs and two sausage patties for breakfast, and I wasn't hungry again until 7:30 pm! I had a nice ribeye and a pound of broccoli. I think am going to continue to walk briskly for 30 min every other day, but try to remain active all day, every day. Me and the wife are going to Panama City Beach this weekend so it's definitely going to be some fun in the sun. Yeaaayy!!! I make a solemn vow to all of you not to consume an sugar, gluten, or refined carbohydrates. I'm serious.

I think the best activity for overweight people besides walking is swimming, especially cardio classes in a swimming pool and bicycling, not the relaxed kind, but either mounting biking along uneven roads or doing sprint intervals on a road bicycle.Galina L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09156132815504279615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-37524197598942205482014-04-26T11:01:29.323-05:002014-04-26T11:01:29.323-05:00Rick

I pretty much consider most non starchy veges zero carb. What works for me is berries with nuts in the morning. A little bit of sugar from the berries with the fat and fiber and protein from the nuts. Followed by my usual breaky and a walk. I have to make sure I consume enough sodium also or my energy lags. I was struggling with how to do lc but get some glucose( my liver just doesn't make any). Starch just puts me in a coma. Tried 1/2 a potato the other day(it was cold and reheated..so..resistant:-) I felt weird then fell asleep on the couch for 2 hours. So I like a little berries.. no coma. That said only you can find what works for you. I hope you feel better:-) Beahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18204253451033105444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-5059373160574954092014-04-26T09:46:46.613-05:002014-04-26T09:46:46.613-05:00Rick,

The people who need to loose a lot of weight are already in a compromised position because it is against of what your body is designed to do. In some people it is almost the equivalent of fighting the body change in a puberty. If you need a lot of fat to loose, just got used to the idea that it wouldn't be a smooth journey. I am sure that in your case your weight-loss of 50 lbs caused a drop in leptine which well could cause the drop in energy, hunger, coldness. I recommend you to go to Wooo's blog and read about supplements she used to compensate her drop in leptine and experiment with that. She lost 160 lb.http://itsthewooo.blogspot.com/search/label/Leptin<br />Personally, I would say "yes" to excising if you want more joy and the sense of a well-being in your life, just don't think it is the reason to eat more. If you are hungry, try to add fat, but be aware that the excess of calories hinders a weight loss. Check what you are eating in a fitday.com, it may surprise you.Galina L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09156132815504279615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-15528360723211007912014-04-25T23:26:18.224-05:002014-04-25T23:26:18.224-05:00I'm hanging in there for the last couple days ...I'm hanging in there for the last couple days but, I feel so much hunger for the last three days in a row. I haven't had very many carbs. Just green beans, brussel sprout, spinach salad with olive oil, broccoli, asparagus with grilled chicken, beef, fish or pork. I've lost fifty pounds over the last three months, but now I've lost that high, energetic feeling. I want it back. I don't feel bad, but I was on top of the world for the last three months. Should I exercise? What should I add or take away from my food? Thank goodness I still don't have any inflammation, except a small very manageable case of plantar fasciitis in my right foot, but it used to be a hundred times worse. The song "you've lost that lovin feeling" is running through my mind. Ahhhhhggg! Am I going to be able to make it to my goal? I got fifty more pounds. Why can't the last fifty go as fast as the first?Rick Gladneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16729863349450538114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-59184685461033248212014-04-25T15:26:36.058-05:002014-04-25T15:26:36.058-05:00Rick, I agree totally that there's no such thi...Rick, I agree totally that there's no such thing as an essential carbohydrate. But perhaps I'm not explaining myself well. The theory is that RS is NOT a carbohydrate (confusing since it's called "starch"). Pure RS does not break down to sugar anywhere in the digestive tract--that's what carbohydrates do. It carries along more or less intact all the way to the large intestine, where the gut bacteria eat it, and (excuse the expression) poop out saturated fatty acids, NOT glucose. SFA's ARE essential. Video explanation here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI3KtR3LoqM<br /><br /><br />Except for PS, most RS sources (like retrograded rice and potatoes) are not 100% resistant starch, so there is some carb that comes along for the ride. There is supposedly a "second meal" effect which lowers the blood glucose/insulin spike of carbohydrates taken with or after the ingestion of RS. It seems to be working in my case--I'm eating cooked and cooled rice and potatoes and NOT having any increase in BG or loss of ketosis. The other night though, my husband made beef hash. The potatoes were not retrograded, but I ate them anyway without having any RS that day. BG shot up and I felt horrible, had some GI distress, too. NOT a good idea. I have not had that reaction with cooked and cooled potatoes and rice.

I would also add gelatin (1 Tbs of "bloomed "to your morning coffee, for example) and/or , probably, some store-bought pectin to other foods.

Remember that changes and adaptations require time."<br /><br />I am trying it, so far so good--BG is low, ketosis maintained, no weight gain. I have a pretty healthy VLC diet otherwise--plenty of bone broth and gelatin, fermented foods daily, supplement with fish oil, vitamin D, and magnesium. I have not had any GI distress from adding the RS (RN would say because my good gut bugs are absent because of killer VLC, but I think they're just fine, thank you very much!). I think my sleep IS better. And I do admit it is FUN to have noodles, salad rolls, rice and potatoes again. I keep my portions reasonable (1/2 cup means 1/2 cup, not 2 cups!) and not daily. I'm watching everything like a hawk--it took HARD work and 3 years to get 72 pounds down and improvements in all my health markers. I'm not going to throw this away.

He was under so much pressure to lose weight, like I was also and he got the lap band surgery about eight months ago. He gave me all his fat clothes three months after his surgery. I saw him at the market and I couldn't believe my eyes. He had regained over a hundred pounds and was actually bigger than he was before. Limping and moving slower than he ever did. Even though I hadn't seen him since I lost fifty pounds, he didn't ask what I had been doing and I didn't want to embarrass him any further so I just said it was good to see him, and didn't discuss his weight gain. I was shocked. I thought the lap band was like having your jaw wired shut. How can you regain a hundred pounds in barley six months? Honestly, when I saw how much weight he initially lost I went to one of those free seminars that the local surgeons have. They tell you it's impossible to lose even twenty pounds. They tell you that you should just give up and that the surgery is a guaranteed way to keep the weight off. I'm so glad I didn't get that surgery. I have to admit I was very seriously considering it. If I had done it I would not have had to educate myself about proper nutrition. I would still be craving those McDonald's milkshakes and French fries. When I saw him I felt like I literally had dodged a bullet.

For some people too much nuts is a problem, others have to go easy on dairy and especially cheese, eating within 6 - 8 hours eating window (for example at 10 and 6pm) helps too .
