Drea i am or was...doing old Atkins...which keeps me full...just not loosing..I prob feel best with eating the way you do.. i like coconut oil...and the good things it can do for us... there is just so much information out there and I prob read so much that it is jumbled up for me ...eat this ..not dont eat that...lol IDK 

I did the atkins before surgery too and lost 86lbs but dont remember how long that took... i think my mind feels most comfortable at computing the process of lower fat meats , veggies and no starchy foods...that could be what i did while loosing..i just remember being full on 1/2 c cottage cheese and strawberries and maybe a boiled egg...that wont cut it now...unless i make my self eat that way and just be hungry if that happens... carbs of any kind make me hungry faster.......

still lost 

lol

I eat low carb but not high fat.  The carbs that I do eat are from complex carbs - no simple carbs.  

I wouldn't compare you and your son as far as what you're both eating.  His metabolism at 14 is way different than yours.  

Go back to the basics that you did when you were losing weight.  Don't eat high fat and make the fats that you do eat come from healthy fat foods.  

You did it before and you can do it again!

Hey everyone. My bypass surgery was in 11/04.  My starting weight was 328.  I got down to 150.  Currently my weight is 230.5.  I plan to make weekly post showing my new weight loss journey results.  It is not going to be easy, but I know it will be worth it ☺.  

I do LCHF , but I also count calories. and make sure I don't eat too many proteins - proteins with not fat- may cause insulin release.. so I always add fat to my proteins and try to divide them between meals. 

And i avoid processed food -  so I don't eat protein bars. 

I lose or maintain my weight..with no problem.  I do minimal exercise...(not a lot - and mostly yoga, or walking)

i.e. 

calories for me to lose: 1000- 1200 per day

proteins : 70 gr =280 cal

carbs : 30 max = 120 cal

fat= 1000-280-120= 600 cal = app 70 gr of fat..

carbs: 20-40 per day (total, not net, 20-30 net)   - only from non starchy veggies and nuts. ( I don't eat dairy)\

my meals : 4-5 ; 250 cal each; I opt for fat gr =prot gr; and little bit carbs... (no more than 1/2 of proteins.

if i get hungry - I eat more  fat.. (nuts, or avocado)

I may eat fat  with no carbs or proteins, but never eat just carbs or just proteins. (like in protein shake - I add fat to my shakes - from coconut or almond milk)
