what to eat while trying to lose 10%
I am 5 months in to the clinic pre surgery. I am having a hard time losing any amount of weight. Nurse, dietician are happy with what I am eating but not losing. I have been off work with a pulled hamstring for several weeks and not allowed to due any amount of walking or exercising. I waitress normally so I normally get 12000 to 20000 steps in day.
What's a typical day of food?
I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!

Honestly, I'd just eat LCHF and write down literally everything. If you're eating under 1200 calories and not losing weight, you're either overeating, or eating too many carbs and not tracking them. Carry a notebook with you and immediately write down each bite as you eat it. I discovered pre-op I was eating far too much. I was shocked at what I was eating!
Also, 1/3 cup of nuts has 273 calories. A cup of veggies has like 50. It's also much easier to overeat nuts than veggies. You'd be better off eating 3 ounces of beef instead for slightly fewer calories and 2x the protein (or more).
