I am wondering what eating plan I need..

[unbroken40 31]

What is wrong with my body? I am told I am not eating enough calories so I won't lose. Then I am told I am eating too many fat calories so I won't lose. I am stuck and I want to continue to drop. I have done the clean eating... watching carbs... watching sugars. I can't seem to find something that is working for my body. Discouraged is an understatement. I go for a fill Saturday. sorry to vent... just frustrated.

When was your surgery? Are you using my fitness pal? We definitely need more info.

@@kyrickchick64 my surgery was October 2013. I have lost 74 pounds and gained some back. I have thyroid disease that is not cooperating. And I do use My Fitness Pal. My thyroid levels are changing monthly and I wonder if this is part of the issue.

Never understood the concept of "eating more to loose more"...

Have never found it to work for me, but have always found the opposite to be true.

You have to burn more calories per day than you consume to loose weight.

Also, as hunters-gatherers, we have stored excess energy away as fat to get us through periods of famine....

When i was loosing weight, I always pictured myself utilizing that stored source of energy.....so if my body needs more calories, and I'm not supplying it with food, it turns to that storehouse I've been carrying around for years.

And it must be true, in my case anyway, because I currently have very little fat left, there is nothing left to loose.

We are/were fat because we ate too much......we cannot get our eating under control....so we have WLS to stop us from eating too much.....Simple!

If you feel you need to eat more, then I would re-consider getting a fill...

Sounds like you are trying to change things up hoping to see better results but the thyroid disease is interfering. When you go for a fill, talk to the doctor about this. I'm sure he/she can help you to work with it. Good luck...it must be very frustrating for sure.
