My wife has been on a low carb diet the last 4 weeks. I do the cooking most meals so have been cooking meals for us that are low carb. This has helped a lot and lets me plan myself what i am going to eat

I had my operation on 4 Dec 19 and found the weight loss stalls at times too. I have found that doing 3 higher intensity type exercises a week keeps things moving along. I swim a kilometer at the local pool pushing myself so I am out of breath. I also log my foods daily in an app so I can keep an eye on any unnecessary calories sneaking in.

I had my surgery 4th of Dec was 380 post surgery. Im 52 yr old male so recovery was slow. I am down to 326 so 54 pounds down. I have had 2 periods were my weight loss stalled about 3 weeks out and last week. It is frustrating when it happens but i try to focus on how far i have come. I find over exercising has a negative effect on my progress for me i have worked out if i swim 3 days a week i get the most benefit i have worked up to 1 klm now and that seems to be the most beneficial for me. I would be interested what others have found. In terms of diet i am eating 3 meals a day primarily protein based. I have gone completly off sweet anything. If i get humgty i chew gum or drink water and have some protein balls handy that take the edge off between meals. I can eat most foods but avoiding carbs were possible and stick to meats and veg. Anyway would be good to chat with others going through same stage.
