The struggle is real cutting carbohydrates from my diet!



Recommended Posts

I never new how much of a carbohydrate junkie I was until I tried to cut them from my diet. I'm really trying hard to change how I'm eating. But all I keep thinking about is pizza.

The only times I have really screwed up was eating carbs at a party. bread and some dip. I can just not let myself eat carbs like Pasta or bread. Protein and vegies and fruit. It gets easier.

The thing about carbs and even sugar is that if you stop eating them you stop craving them. I no longer eat bread, pizza or starchy vegetables and I'm doing just fine. No cravings for carbs at all.

pizza, mmmmmm, yummy. Scrape the toppings off one slice, immediately through the crust in the trash, and slowly chew, chew, chew your very small bites. All of the flavor, no carbs, and you've scratched that itch!

Atkins makes a decent low carb pizza. It's pretty low in carbs.

Carbs are in just about everything so I assume your addiction is processed carbs like breads, pastas, etc... It's a learning curve. Like everyone has mentioned you'll have to be creative and come up with healthier alternatives. There's a recipe for Pizza Crust using cauliflower instead of flower. I make pancakes with Protein Powder & flax powder instead of flour. It can be done. Just get creative.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
