getting discouraged

I'm 2 months in my 6 month diet and so far haven't lost any weight. I've been using my fitness pal and it said if I stayed around 2000 calories a day I should lose 1lb a week....nope

  • I just finished my first month and the nut has me on a diet like Atkins no carbs. Its really working for me. I lowered my calories on myfitness pal it seemed like too many calories.

  • I have noticed eating all proteins and cutting carbs I feel full all the time.

  • I had to drop to 1200 calories a day and did high protein low carb. I never have cut out all carbs ( I refuse to cut out fruit and veggies) but I will say any white sugar/white bread and I stop losi

I haven't even seen the nut yet. Yea I thought the carbs on myfitnesspal was really high. How many calories do you eat a day?

Most low carb diets start out with an induction diet and you don't eat more then 20 net carbs a day. The first few days can be rough as you detox off the bad carbs but then the craving go away. As you move through the diet you up your carbs until you can't tolerate or would gain a pound. If interested go to Atkins.com they have wonderful info. This is the only diet that has helped me..

I cant have bread, pasta, carbonated drinks, no fruits, no sugar. Only Proteins and vegetables. I lost 10lbs on that. I started myfitness pal and set my calories at 1400 but I try to keep it around 1200. I lost 5 more. I do the treadmill 2x a week right now.

I guess I won't freak out yet. I just hope they don't cancel my surgery because I'm not losing weight. I have to lose 10 pounds but I figure ill lose that while on the preop liquid diet. Its just that I'm trying and I exercise 40 mins a day on a recumbent bike, gave up soda, drink more water etc

I had to drop to 1200 calories a day and did high protein low carb. I never have cut out all carbs ( I refuse to cut out fruit and veggies) but I will say any white sugar/white bread and I stop losing and usually gain a pound or two even after surgery.

Ill have to give it a try. If I start something like that then have a day I eat carbs will I gain all the weight back? My son's birthday is coming up and prob going to eat cake

Dont get discouraged you havent even talked to the nut yet.... You can do it!

One day will be fine. All things in moderation. You are learning a new life style. :-) You won't gain all the weight back but you may have a blip on the scale. It's normal. Hang in there

Is it strange to not see the nut after this long? My appt was jan 31 with my 6 month diet starting on the 21 of jan

I guess all Dr. Are different. I see my Dr. , Nurse, and Nut on every appt. And my Nut follows me on myfitness pal.

You can have to watch calories on my Fittness pal 2000 is a lot I would go down to 1000-1200 or just try using 2 meal replacements and 1 meal a day with if you need a snack in between just make sure it's low calorie or sf fluids
