Hi. I am just starting my 6 month per surgery weight loss diet. Can anyone suggest a low starch 1200 calories diet which has 60 carbs per day? I would really appreciate the help! Thanks!

have you signed up on myfitnesspal.com or sparkpeople to log your food. fitnesspal breaks down all the categories and makes it fairly easy to eat correctly.

mine is set up to calculate fiber, protein, fat and carbs. I log everything I eat and am able to keep track of it as the day goes on.

I don't think you need a "diet" to follow, just eat fresh foods, no processed box foods, no chips or cookies. drink lots of water and you'll start seeing a difference. you will also feel good!

Hi. No not yet. I will do it later tonight. Thanks.

You will probably have more than a few 'ut oh' moments/days where you have things/quantities you shouldn't. Logging makes it so we can see our mistakes and make the necessary adjustments. Sort of like athletes who record video of themselves and study their form in slow motion. We're all unique, so trial and error is par for the course. Just keep at it!

I thought I was not eating a lot and I couldn't explain why my weight loss had stopped. I started logging my food at myfitnesspal and I have lost 7pounds in about 2weeks. I could probably do better if it wasn't for my naughty weekends.

By the way my nick at my fitness pal is kflower84
