Losing weight thanks to more protien!



Recommended Posts

I am happy to report I have lost 2lbs in the past 4 days, I have been upping my Protein, eating a ton of veggies and some fruit - no breads due to them getting stuck!

173.5 and today 171.5, I can't wait to break the 170's finally. I feel good, clearer, healthier, my skin is clearing up and I have energy!

I agree, I lost 30 pounds in 2 months and I was going protien crazy. Like 70grams a day...

I'm new to the No Carb way as well ..... I also can't do just liquids. in fact, i can't do ANY liquids!! I drink tons of Water , and love my morning coffee, but shakes? smoothies? Protein Drinks? No Thank You !! I could never drink a meal... it doesn't work for me at all. I gag , to be blunt. I never set out to be a No carber, but since most bread, Pasta and rice get caught or stuck, i really dont have much choice. I do, however, get carbs in other forms, so technically i'm an Occasional Carber :-) dairy, sugar, etc...

What are some of your favorite foods that you fill up on? I LOVE fruit, but cant eat much of it any more :-( I'm also limited on the Veg that i can digest, which really stinks, as i actually DREAM about veggies! lol

As far as meat, I like Rare steak, Fried / Broasted chicken ( Dark Meat ), Chicken Strips, and ALL seafood. I can eat Lamb Chops on occasion, but not crazy about pork, except for Ham and Bacon ( go figure )

Thought ? Suggestions? :-D

I stocked up on Protein this last shopping trip...chicken, tuna, eggs, cheese, stuff for chilli, and Protein shakes.

are there any high Protein Snacks that anyone can recommend?

how'bout high protein sweets?...I make vital wheat gluten flour walnut Cookies with Equal and Splenda Brown sugar...they are pretty yummy...

Bob's Red Mill Vital Wheat GLUTEN Flour

serving size:1/4 cup (3/4 cup used for batch of cookies)

23 grams protein per serving of flour

6 grams carbs per serving of flour

blend flour, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp vanilla, 1 cup walnuts, 1 egg, unsweet applesauce or 1/4 cup butter, 8 pkts Equal & some Splenda brown sugar to taste & bake @ 350 for 10 minutes...

I do best when I focus on Protein first. If I get. Enough protein in, like 70 grrams, I don't feel hungry & I have more energy. Like Premiere shakes from costco as a meal substitute or as a snack. Also, eggs, tuna, lean hamburger, greek yogurt, lean steak. Isopure drinks too. Fat free cottage cheese and milk. I add fresh fruit. Proteins seem to really help me not have cravings.

Hello, that is a great weight loss, sorry but I am a bit confused as just starting to get back into low carb, is 70 grams about 2 t bone steaks or could you give me a rough idea in meat that 70 grams would be? thanks so much.

      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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
