wow congratulations!!! that is alot of weight in a short amount of time. Be very careful as you progress.
Think of this as a life style change and not a diet.
IN my opinion, diets higher in carbs tend to put weight on me. so I try to limit my carb intact.
be patient you are young and have lots of time to retrain your eating habits.
curious how you found us? do you see other areas here at neuro talk that you could receive support.
I am bipolar and post on those forums as well.
When I first started dieting I had to count calories. then I learned what foods to eat and stopped counting but continued to watch my carb intake.
What kind of a diet are you on?
I have gained back some of the weight that I lost so am starting my new diet today, watching my carbs and sugar intake.
Some people just stop 4 things, no flour , no sugar, no potatos no rice.I would throw in there no corn.
The atkins diet has helped many many people to lose weight.
I have been toying with wishing that I had the will power to follow the cave mans diet.
The paleo diet:
no processed foods.
no grains(wheat, corn, oats etc), no legumes, (soy, beans, peanuts)
no dairy and of course no sugar.
eat only fresh meats, eggs, all vegetables including sweet potatos, they are a root. fruits,(including coconut) nuts, seeds. good fats from olive oil and coconut oil, and almond milk.
I think it is a very expensive way to eat but has a lot of health benefits.
I hope you come back and share what you have been doing.
thanks bizi
