Hi Lisa,
Here is a typical day's food under the diet I have followed over the past six months:
Breakfast
3 scrambled eggs
4 pieces of bacon
1 piece of American cheese (cooked in eggs)
lunch
1 Premier Protein chocolate shake
dinner
6-8 oz of lean meat (chicken or salmon or occasionally red meat)
1.5 cups lettuce
1/3 cup parmesan cheese
3 T bacon bits
3 T Olive Garden Italian Dressing
This comes out in the 1200-1300 calories range depending on the dinner Protein.< /p>
I hope this helps!
I was the guy that came here studying the forum for stories of how people restarted successfully and never did anything about it. Or very rarely did you find people willing to discuss this because once they were back on track they didn't come back to the forum. So here is my success story so far.
On September 1st I had had enough of regain and decided it was time to change my bad habits. I had VSG 4 years ago and dropped from 385 to 285 in 9 months. Then I slowly crept back to 335, a 50lb regain!
So what did I do? I did 3 days of shakes then 4 days of shakes and small portions of chicken. Then I discovered reddit.com/r/keto and started reading. For the last 3 weeks I have been full blown Keto with 5% carbs, 25% Protein, 70% fat on 900-1200 cal per day. I follow intermitant fasting on a 18:6 ratio. And I walk 3-4 miles per day. In one month of have lost 25lbs and only 25 more to my lowest but I won't stop there this time! Before I get yelled at about how horrible this is just do a bit of research. Many people have CURED their diabetes with a keto lifestyle and there is actual science backing all of it.
