| A low- oxalate diet is exactly what it sounds like: a meal plan that consists of low doses of oxalate. On a low-oxalate diet, limit your oxalate consumption to between 40 mg and 50 mg a day. Read More : http://www.doctorshealthpress.com/digestion-articles/low-ox alate-diet-kidney-stones |
IMO - it is good, as long as it is natural, NSA - no sugar added. Fat is not the enemy... Carbs are.
But have in mind that PB or other nut butters are high calorie foods. And they are "sliders"..so it is easy to overeat.
I eat real PB rather seldom. Peanuts are not real nuts but legume - like beans. But I do eat almond butter.
PB make me crave more and more of it, almond butter - 1TB - and I am fine.

I found the easiest way to measure is by weight. I have a digital scale with a tare (zeroing) button. I put on the plate, tare throw on the protein, tare, throw on the veggies, tare throw on the carb (except I am not eating carbs anymore). You have to put the plate out to put food on anyways. I eat on a rotation, so I may have the same thing for 3 days in a row, then cook something new. Have it for a few days and so on.
Congrats on ditching the sweets! That is a major achievement you should be proud of!

MELODYMAY,
Laura and Chulbert are exactly right. You need to eat REAL food (not pre-packaged chemicals that TASTE like food crap).
My husband and I were both obese eating those WW meals. THey are too carby. Further, you have to realize that the company derives the BIGGEST PROFIT from giving you LOTS of CHEAP wheat noodles and rice. Think about it, if they WANTED to keep you within the points and give you the most nutrient rich option they would be using spiralized zucchini (i.e. zuchhini noodles whihc low carb, low cal, high fiber, high water, high vitamin).
You are going to have to change your look on food. Yes, it is going to have to taste good, but you are going to have a very small pouch. You are going to have to learn how to maximize your vitamins and nutrients and protein in relation to your pouch. You arent going to have space for cheap carbs.
Look at low glycemic index and load options like sweet potatoes if you cant live without carbs. But you really really need to learn a better way of eating.
The reality is, this is going to involve cooking and measuring.
Remember companies dont give a **** whether your health improves or not. Whether you lose weight or not. They just want you to buy their stuff so they can keep making profits.
PS. Your boyfriend can learn to cook REAL food, from scratch, to take some of the preparation pressure off of you. That is EXACTLY what my husband is doing NOW, while I work on a deadline.
OUr vegetable for the week is smoked paprika cauliflower and red lentils. It has vegetable stock, smoked paprika, carrot, cauliflower, red lentil (good carb, high fiber, high protein for a grain/veggy) onion, garlic, and ground coridander.
He was chopping and minicing for a good hour...

I am having a really difficult time losing weight. I have eliminated sweets from my diet but don't really have the space in my kitchen or the time in my day to make weekly menus and measure every bite of food. I'm considering going back on Weigh****chers. I have always been able to lose about 30lbs doing Weigh****chers and I was hoping I could get some suggestions.
I've also had luck with Atkins, but my boyfriend wouldn't survive it. No carbs would drive him crazy. I just need to see the needle on that scale move before I lose faith or have it cause a problem with my insurance.
Any suggestions would be helpful. I just need help.
If you do not have time to make weekly menus and measure every bite of food, you will have trouble post-op. Measuring is important in the beginning because your nerves are not healed and you will hurt yourself if you eat too much. Measuring may be important when you get to maintenance if you experience regain and need to lose the weight again.
Honestly, I did not lose a single pound in my six month pre-op supervised diet. I'm sure I made tons of excuses then, too. But since then I have taken responsibility for what I eat and I never make excuses now. I needed surgery to get me motivated to make changes. I hope the same holds true for you.
