I'm thinking of doing a modified low-carb diet. Nothing drastic as keto, but less than 100 carbs a day. Just for one week to see how things go. I can't keep gaining weight. I was the same today at 373. I'm terrified of waking up a year from now and being back at 524. I don't know why I can't eat so many healthy carbs that other folks can. I see people eating potatoes and rice and bread and I'm so jealous. I've been trying to eat "healthy" and eat WFPB more. I just can't handle eating all these starches. I know that's what's making me gain weight. Is there something wrong with me? I've been watching Dr. Fung talk about insulin resistance and I believe I have it bad!
I've got to get rid of some of this weight. I don't have a choice. I'm not going to live much longer if I don't lose weight. How many old people do you see at my weight? I don't know if I've ever seen any. My first goal is under 350 lbs., then 300. I haven't seen 300 lbs. in almost 15 years. You know I keep thinking what if I cause myself another stroke, but how long do I really think I'm going to live at this weight?
630am: 2 mini low-carb tortillas + 1 MSF breakfast patty + 1/4 c. egg beaters + 1/2 tbsp. coconut oil + 1 tbsp. taco sauce + 1/2 c. Trop50 OJ (w/elderberry juice) + 1 c. earl grey
* 260 calorie breakfast and I feel great! I miss a little breakfast in the morning when I eat light for dinner the night before. I've been trying to do the longer fasts and I'm tired of feeling hungry all the time. I'm surprised the egg beaters didn't make me sick this morning.
915am: 1 c. green tea
11am: 1 protein drink + 1 oz. pistachios
1:45pm: 1/2 c. raspberries + 1 1/2 oz. cheese + 2 c. stir-fry veggies + 1 c. baby kale + 4 cloves garlic + 1/2 c. red cabbage + 1 tbsp. sesame seeds
3pm: 1 atkins coconut bar
6pm: Quorn chick'n patty + 2 c. broccoli w/ cheese
