Need guidance in low carb dieting...
Posted , 12 users are following.
I am at 5 mg pred after 3 years and gained 25 unwanted pounds which I have been unable to lose despite walking daily ( 1/2 to 45 min).and watching calories. This question is aimed at Eileen and any other successful dieters. Specifically, was this an Atkins Diet or variation, Eileen? I am so discouraged. Once always a size 10, this is hard to face. My chest has grown 3 sizes and I feel like I will topple over! Anyone who struggles with PMR and weight gain will know what I am talking about! Thanks in advance with any suggestions. What would we do without this forum?!

only meat, veggies, maybe some fruit in mornings with protein (fruit high in calories).
Best is to try to be creative, with eggs, you can put so much in them, spinach, kale, avacados, even cucumber., mushrooms! Maybe bacon! Fills you up. No gluten carbs so won't get hungry too soon. Add spices, Tumeric, oregano, ...cilantro.
same in big leafy salad for lunch, add fresh parsley, cilantro, oil and vinegar dressing with spices. Cook some veggies and put in to salad. Lots of them.
If you roast the veggies you can get roasted flavor in there too.
I found kale too tough sometimes, so I put it in food processor to really chop it up! Easier to eat and cook.
Fear of relapses, or flare keeps me from eating dairy or flour or rice or legumes, or sugar. I'll cheat every now and then, but again, fear gets me back.
Hee, Hee, sometimes fear helps us out.
Also, smoothies with plain yougert, and just a few pieces of fruit, doesn't take much to sweeten it, maybe hemp protein or other protein powder.
You'll soon learn flour products make us feel like it's an addiction!
Good luck,

I often eat home made soup, or left overs from dinner the night before.
It can take a while to get used to eating 'non breakfast' foods for breakfast!

I am on methotrexate with bad liver readings so I have to avoid it like the plague - it's killing me!!
