I have a smoothie for lunch and then dinner. Nothing else. No snacks in between
I've been doing this every day for about 8 months. I'm still overweight for my height. I think this weight is stuck on me for life. I never would have gained it to begin with if I knew I'd never be able to lose it.
@MsSwan of course 🤗 also any underlying conditions can play a huge part even if they aren’t diagnosed (like pcos, autoimmune disorders, even vitamin deficiencies or blood sugar)
Have you tried incorporating sone intermittent fasting of more than 8 hrs. Thats water or ice only for 8 or more hours , daily if you can. That causes your metabolusm to speed up. The longer you fast, the faster your metabolism gets. ..also breaking the fast with a garlic tea also speeds up your metabolism.
Ice chips are good to chew because they give you that crunching and chewing sensation while the body has to burn more calories to maintain your body temperature.
@MsSwan idk. ..i remember something about a body weight set point from a nutrition class i took in college, but i don't remember the particulars. I think there are Plateau levels you have to reach or something like that
@MsSwan Walking in combination with eating better made the difference for me to get started and sustain weight loss. Walking in the early a.m. or late p.m., inside at malls, etc can help to keep going despite summer heat.
I had diabetes type two for 8 years and started taking straight Psyllium fiber, the stuff they put in Metamucil. My blood sugar is half now from 160 to 80 normally. I have been learning a lot on how triglycerides and LDLs are developed in the Liver. It is incredible how building the walls of your intestines with fiber really contain a lot of that stuff as well as sleep and respecting your circadian rhythms. Don’t give up. There is too much information out there to make the difference!
@MsSwan I honestly don't believe in all these fancy smoothies etc.... They do more harm than good...
I reduced 10kg in last 3 months with absolutely no changes in my diet.
Atleast 14 or more hours of gap between dinner and next meal Brisk walk atleast 10k steps 18 - 24 hours fasting atleast once in a week Only home-cooked food. No alcohol - I anyway never drink
ah well some guys like fat ladies.. not that you are one.. just saying.. sigh .. i was trying to lose weight but gained three pounds instead .. then again i just did eat half a cream cheese strawberry loaf pastry lol
maybe try the only meat diet instead cause those smoothies might be loaded in sugar even if it is natural sugar
