carb question
Over time, the body adjusts a little to some things, or you find others that don't affect you so bad. Thats where you risk regaining, but even then, it's not as bad as it could be. I eat pretty much what I want and only regained about 15-20 lbs, and much of that is boobies and butt, so no complaints here.
I didn't start the KK stall buster - I have no idea who started it, but I will take credit for carrying the torch.
What I did start was the Ricotta Fluff craze - and so glad that I did.
What is the KK Stall Buster? This is the first I'm hearing of it but I've been away for awhile.

Eat a Krispy Kreme donut to break your stall, I guess sometimes you need to keep your body guessing what it's getting food-wise rather than just low carb the whole time. The carbs will help 'clear' you out if nothing else!! ;-)

Thanks! I have heard of this before. The way it was referred to just through me. :-) I have tried this several times before but I must be one of the unfortunate ones as it has not worked for me the same. But then again, seems like all I have to do is look at a carb and I gain weight. Believe me, I eat my share, carbs are my downfall and one of the reasons I struggle today with taking off and maintaining my comfortable weight.
The other downer is that the only Krispy Kreme by where I lived has closed down.... :-( Sometimes there is no justice...
Liz/SouthernLady just replied higher up saying she's of the opinion that it won't help a stall/lose weight. I've used chocolate for constipation and that's worked for me.

The stallbusters only work when you're in the losing phase, the first year or so. People like us are in the "settling phase" where our bodies are settling into something more consistent. We have to work if we want to lose now -- not nearly as hard as pre-op, but it takes a little effort. The DS is close, but really, there are no free passes.

When you stall eat a big ol' krispy kreme donut and you will **** your brains out for a day and start dropping weight. It has been known to end stalls. It works for me. The last one I had I ate an entire pizza over the course of 11 hours and BAM started dropping like crazy the next morning. I have used it twice now with success as have many here.

When I eat complex carbs, I experience no problems. However, when I eat sugar carbs, I often experience gas pains. I no longer tolerate sugar alcohols either, since these cause cramps and gas pains.
My stomach is happiest when I ingest protein, fats, and oils.
I now live nearly 2 miles from a KK store and drive by it at least once a week. However, I have never visited that store. Plus, it's in front of a new children's urgent care center!
