My surgery went very well and I am very please with the results. i'm coming up on a year and getting a little worried, because i find myself eating a little more than ususal. I workout at least 3 times a week, but i hat the fact that I still have a serious craving for sweet. I am for sure a snaker. Please help and give me a little advice. I'm trying and loving my results and dont want to gain a pound back!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forensikchic 528 Posted July 16, 2012 I had to cut back on my carbs to keep losing. I was averaging about 90 carbs a day but I was gaining and losing the same three pounds. When I cut them back to under 30, I began to lose again. I can eat a lot more than I could early on as well. I started eating a few chips here and there and drank a lot of milk. I also ate Peanut Butter and nilla wafers everyday too. Waaaay to many carbs for the losing phase. I will be able to eat more carbs once I am in maintenance but not now. Thats my advice. HTH.

Finding MeMe 204 Posted July 16, 2012 I don't count carbs, calories, fats or sugars. I just exercise at least 5 days per week for at least 60 minutes. I also lift wts three days per week. I find that if I don't workout consistantly I won't lose wt and If I want to gain I just lighten up on working out and stop eating when full. I know that I should know my optimum levels for wt. loss but just adjusting my exercise level and time works for me.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmooney364 30 Posted July 16, 2012 I have barely started losing and both of the above people have terrific advice. You either have to eat less or move more or best a combo of both. You are doing so good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Catracks 865 Posted July 17, 2012 For me it's still mostly about the food, although I do hike and work out to some extent. Going over 50 grams of carbs a day causes me to stall (on a 750 calories a day). If I gnaw on Protein and some veggies all day I will lose fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
