July 28

that's what I do. I avoid grains, and all starchy carbs.   I test my body reaction to any new foods.. 

I can eat veggies, nuts, eggs, meat, fish, etc... 

even a handful of potato fries may make me get RH. 

or sweet coating on "coconut shrimps"... 

I can work around dumping... but RH - scares me .. I had way too many. and once my BSdrops really low - it is a ***** to have it stable again.  

I have had RH episodes a few times, last one over a year ago so I'm hoping they are a thing of the past for me and I'm sorry you still struggle with it.

But I'm having a heck of a time getting this weight off, seems like it's one step forward and two steps back. I was wondering how you keep your carbs in order to lose. There's another forum that says 35 or less to lose but I feel likethats really low. They also have a back on track plan but there's no way I an afford the shakes they are selling.



Okay I'm done whining now!

Have a good evening

Just because you don't feel your RH it does not mean your BS does not fluctuate making you v hungry at times, and make you chose not the best foods. 

I follow LCHF diet, and I try to balance every meal with 2:2: 1 ratio fat:proteins:carbs

The pouch takes care of the volume. My meals typically will have more or same gr of fat as proteins, and no more than 50% of carbs. 

I.e meal would be 15 gr of fat+ 15 gr of proteins + 7 gr of carbs, with less than 5 gr from sugars. 

I avoid grains, most fruits, get some berries every 2 weeks Or so... Eat nuts... 

My weakness is wine and... PB.. Love that stuff... When I drink wine I eat more food and I can eat more...

I love PB.. NSA - still very high in calories... But I can eat 1jar in 2-3 days..on top of my normal food... So I use that as "a lesser evil"  when I had a really, really bad day and really really want hard pretzels or a huge Cuban  sandwich... Nice and warm, crispy on the outside, 

so I pick a jar of PB... And eat that.. With a spoon.. 

We all have our triggers...
