Good morning botts:

Hi Hala
You are doing great. It is working so well for you. I know you have so many challenges you've overcome. Thanks for your help. I appreciate it. Take care, Tri
I can eat more calories if I stay low carb (but not super low carb) and increase my fat...
and when I follow a real food diet. Nothing really prepared - or "manufactured". Buying real meat- real veggies, eggs, and some fruits (berries) and nuts.. The only nut butter I buy - are the ones that have nuts +salt..nothing else... if I want a "cookie" I bake it... from "real - " stuff.. no mixes or protein bars, or even already made burgers or sausages...
the fillers some manufacturer add - you really never know what is in there. I chose more fat instead of more proteins. It forces my body to burn fat - since too much proteins may turn into sugars.. fat - will not...
with my low carb lifestyle =- I re-carb every 7-10 days.. I would eat more carbs - most of the time - more berries... or some cool chips ...that i made or bought... (i.e. terra veggie chips - I woudl eat a serving with NSA salsa and avocado mix into it).
My last 5-10 lbs I lost following IF (intermittent fasting) with 14:10 ratio (eat only during 10 hour window in every 24 hour period). Since I don't like breakfast- and I may get low BSin a middle of the night- I typically eat LNS (nuts) app an hour before bed. That slowly keeps being digested over night ..and I don't start eating until at least 12 hours the next day (14-16 hour the most) ... so if I eat at 9pm.. the next day I may wait until 11 or noon (14-15 hours)( before I have lunch... That has been working great for me...
it seems that if I start eating too early - some days I just want to eat and eat and eat... Delaying eating - not only limits my calories , but also helps with me drinking more liquids, plus really helps my IBS...
i.e. yesterday :
I had coffee, tea, water till noon. Then I had meatloaf with some NSA pickles, then I had a 2 oz of nuts, then more meatloaf with pickles... At home - I had some almonds and chips with salsa.. not a lot....
I had chips because I am trying to stop losing weight - and I am trying to increase my calories... but I was not very hungry...
today - I had liquids and ... I just finishes a bowl of homemade egg drop soup with 1/2 avocado... later on - not sure .....
following more fat- low carb diet - keto diet - really makes me not very hungry...
Even low glycemic type food - that could be good for a normal person - is not good for me...
unfortunately - i don't tolerate most raw veggies - so salads are out... but you can make the volume you may need by adding nice salads or just steamed veggies with a lots of butter...

The plan I follow is 800-1000 calories to lose (1200 maintain)
and less than 50 g. carbs and at 80-100 g. protein a day. You can do 4 shakes plus a protein and veggie meal or 5 small protein veggie meals and some low sugar fruit. I have been on it for a month and lost about 15 lb. Low carb/calorie is the only way I can lose.
B: eggs, cheese and bacon (went out for breakfast )
L: 2 oz. ground beef, 1 cup zucchini and 1/2 cup low sugar sauce
D: crack slaw- 2 oz. ground chicken, coleslaw mix with seasame oil, ginger and soy sauce
Snacks: 1) protein shake 2) 1 oz. each ham and cheese and 3 mini pickles
Have a good day!

The weekend was a lot of fun. My guests are in and out all day today. I wish I could go with them but my foot is holding me down. It really looks better every day. I am now struggling with low normal blood sugars so I am shaking before meals again. I take Lantis insulin only now. I don't need the pre meal sliding scale regular insulin anymore. I weighed myself this morning and I am 206 again. I didn't eat much yesterday, but insulin pushes every calorie out of my blood and into my cells. I wonder how few calories I will have to eat to lose weight. Have a great day everyone. Tri

I am home alone this morning. This afternoon 7 friends will be back at our house. They will be coming and going until Friday. My foot surgery was 4 weeks ago and I have at least one more week non weight bearing and on antibiotics. My foot really looks great. The incision is healed. It feels wonderful to have the meandering orthopedic metal out of my foot. It is the 3rd foot surgery but this time my surgeon did a great job. It took 3 major surgeries to correct my pelvic prolapse. 3 seems to be my lucky number. I had the RNY and then the Restore trial. Maybe I should try one more time on some sort of revision. Maybe I should keep trying to eat less. I don't know what to do. I am looking forward to going to the gym again. I really miss my triathlon workout. I can't wait to get back to cleaning and gardening also. I hope everyone has a great day. Tri

I didn't weigh myself this morning. I probably won't tomorrow either. Yesterday afternoon one more house guest arrived from up north. I donated 2 full beds last winter and turned that guest room into a study. Our friend is happy sleeping on a blow up bed. We have people coming and going until next Friday. Without being able to walk they are fending for themselves and doing a great job. It is nice to have people around. Have a great day. Tri
