I did not do it the traditional low carb, high protein, low fat way...but I did it none the less.... very proud of myself...

like most ladies, the belly is the last to go... so Im aiming to lose an additional 20 pounds..

I will be getting gall bladder surgery ( have no stones and minimal sludge but excessive swelling & fluid) in the near future..

Congrats on your loss!

So how did you do it since you mention you didn't do it the "traditional" way?

my needs were not beig met at 600-800 calories....

I eat 1500+ net calories per day

100g protein

60+ grams of carbs

I dont measure fat but I definitely dont do low fat products

I do try to limit processed sugar ( dont limit fruits, use stevia)

Congratulations to you!! What a journey. Just an FYI: 60 grams of carbs would definitely be considered low carb. I also have never done low fat and never have any "diet" products. Good Luck with those last few pounds.

My goal is 24.8 BMI! I can't wait to be there!! I'm only 3 weeks post-op...but I'm excited to see where this change takes me.
