Calories, Fat, Carbs, Oh My!



Recommended Posts

Unfortunately the vast majority of nutritionists and doctors are incorrect when it comes to fat and carbohydrates. I have a blog post about this as well' date=' but Carbs are to be avoided entirely unless you're training for some kind of marathon or sporting event where you will burn the carbs off.

Most people don't, so their bodies take the carbs and turn it into sugar, which is how we all got into this situation in the first place.

I wholeheartedly, and to the point of fanatical prejudice disagree with the <5 gram of fat per serving. This is nutritional suicide

I'm sorry, but that NUT is wrong. Flat out, deadly, wrong

Best of all, they'll tell you they're certified so what they're saying is gospel, and since I don't have a degree or certification, that I'm the one that is incorrect.

I'd love to see the NUT tell me why my blood panels are so perfect when I consume a high protein/moderate fat diet (and I didn't get that way with consuming fat in <5 grams per serving)

PLEASE be careful who you talk to. This information is killing us all - research everything, leave nothing to chance - Fat is NOT the concern here, the carbs/sugars ARE. Ever notice how NUTs are telling people to do low fat / high or moderate carbs and why the vast majority of those folks are still not losing weight?

Do the research! Don't do everything "they" tell you to do. I'm not a conspiracist, but I DO have an issue with false information that is so gravely incorrect for a wide swath of people.[/quote']

I keep it simple. As much Protein as I can. At least 1 gram protein per 10 calories. Split the remainder evenly between carbs and fat. No starches. Works well for me.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
