lyndynojo 140 Posted September 12, 2011 MAKF, a whole lotta folks on here won't like me saying this, but I only count calories. I stay under about 800-900 a day. I do eat Protein first, but find that no matter what I want I can only eat a tiny portion. I am starting to exercise this week, but until now I haven't done that just because I don't have time. I'm gonna start zumba classes on tues and thurs. I have tried the Atkins type diets before surgery and they never worked for me, I have always lost better counting calories. That is just what works best for me. Thanks ya'll for the posts! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

longer-life 139 Posted September 13, 2011 I only count calories. I stay under about 800-900 a day. I do eat Protein first, First of all, congratulations! I haven't had surgery yet, so I am having difficulty understanding what you are doing differently than others. You eat Protein first and you are not overeating. What is different? That you eat carbs after the protein? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indymom 132 Posted September 13, 2011 That's fantastic! I would be interested to see a little bit of what you might eat in a normal day . . . my food plan doesn't necessarily restrict carbs (just suggests Protein first, veggies second, carbs if there's room left and whole grains) and I feel like I will be more satisfied if I can have a bit of carbs with my protein/veggies.

MAKF 5 Posted September 13, 2011 I am down 25 after 5 weeks. Iam walking and doing hand weights. I went 12 days with no weight loss and it scared me silly. I also track every thing I eat. I love the feeling of control....lol! Congratulations! On your achievement! MAKF, a whole lotta folks on here won't like me saying this, but I only count calories. I stay under about 800-900 a day.

lyndynojo 140 Posted September 13, 2011 Indymom, I don't really have a structured eating plan but here is what i had yesterday. breakfast- 1/2 of a fried egg, 1 piece of bacon. ( i couldn't eat the whole egg) snack- peanuts lunch- about 6 or 7 bites of spagetti meat sauce with very few noodles. ( again i was full on that) snack- 2 ritz crackers with a wedge of laughing cow cheese supper- i grilled ribeye steaks and baked potatoes for my family and my son gave me part of his, i ate about 6 or 7 bites of steak and 3-4 bites of potato. snack 1 oz of goldfish crackers. I know that some people are carb sensitive and it hinders their weight loss but I must not be, it has never bothered me. I use to eat a lot of sweets pre op and that is one thing i really don't eat now. I've had a bite or two and just have really lost the taste for them. I usually eat whatever my family is having only way less. I think my whole day of food is less than one meal was pre-op. LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
