I am 15 days out and you can have avocados. If you make guacamole, I would use half am avacado and mix with Greek yogurt, pico, And a little garlic powder and Cheyenne pepper. Use a blender to purée consistency. You might mix Protein Powder with refried Beans and season. Dallas of this guacamole with it. Fill you up quick and Protein in everything (: hope that helps

Wow way to go Jaci and Kenny! Great job! I have lost 55 lbs now this yr. It's tough going somedays I fight the food demon on a daily basis :(. I am losing way slower then I wanted. But other things are great I have way more energy! I coach my 5 yr olds soccer team and assist on my 9 yr olds baseball team! I was up on the roof painting my siding this weekend! I am going on a weekend camp out with Scouts Canada this June. Last year I would not have moved of my lawn chair! This to me is huge! I went from a 22 to a comfortable 16. Keep up the great work everyone!

Major pain tonight, out if nowhere. I buckled over for a good 30 min shrieking and unable to move. Pain felt like pouch was enflamed. I dry heaved for a while. Tried to use the bathroom. I was tempted to go to ER, even wondered if it's appendix but then It finally eased - but isn't gone.

Anyone ever had or heard of this?

When did you last eat. It could be dumping syndrome, I had similar pain about an hour after I ate and thought I was having a heart attack. It eased up after about an hour but I felt miserable for several hours. I ate too much or too fast.

I'm wondering if that's what happened. I eventually got sick last night and once food was up the pain went away. I have been eating a couple of crackers just before this happened, I was cleaning the kitchen so I was eating mindlessly. Perhaps I wasn't chewing enough, maybe I just shouldn't eat crackers - even just a couple.

That pain was insane, it started I could feel my pouch then it spread to the center of my abdomen and around my back. But once crackers came up - it was gone. I learned my lesson. I shouldn't be eating crackers anyway, i'm 10 lbs from my goal, so I allow myself a treat once in awhile.

Thank you for the reply, it helped me get through

I am having a hard time staying under 1000 calories and anything I eat no longer seems to fill me up. After I eat I feel hungry again like an hour later. Anyone know what I should do or what foods do you all eat that fills you?

So, I havent been on here in a while, but I am doing great. 90 pounds lost, from a size 22-24 to a 14-16. Have had a ton of complications, the most recent one is from me fainting. I am now going to follow up with a cardiologist to see why my blood pressure keeps dropping. I am eating about 1000 calories a day and 70-80 grams of Protein and 72 ounces of Water. I am back to working part time and have had no problems adjusting. I hope everyone is well!

      Factors Affecting the Growth of the Alternative Sweeteners Industry:
      Health Consciousness: The increasing awareness among individuals about the health issues linked to high sugar consumption, such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, is supporting the market growth. Consumers are becoming more health-conscious and seeking products that can provide sweetness without the negative health effects associated with sugar. This shift in consumer preferences is leading to a greater demand for low-calorie and natural sweeteners like stevia, monk fruit, and erythritol. These sweeteners offer the added benefit of having minimal impact on blood glucose levels, making them suitable for diabetic and health-conscious individuals.
      Technological Advancements: Innovations in the production and formulation of alternative sweeteners are impelling the market growth. Advancements in biotechnology and food science are leading to the development of high-intensity sweeteners with improved taste profiles and functional properties. Innovations in fermentation processes enhance the production efficiency and quality of natural sweeteners like stevia and monk fruit. These technological improvements are making alternative sweeteners more appealing to both manufacturers and consumers. Enhanced stability, solubility, and sweetness intensity allow these sweeteners to be used in a wide range of products, ranging from beverages to baked goods.
      Consumer Trends and Preferences: Evolving consumer trends and preferences are playing a significant role in driving the alternative sweeteners market. The growing demand for clean-label products, which are healthier and free from artificial ingredients, is offering a favorable market outlook. Consumers are increasingly seeking natural and plant-based sweeteners, aligning with broader trends toward plant-based diets and veganism. Besides this, there is an increase in the demand for low-calorie and sugar-free alternatives that support weight management and overall wellness. Food and beverage companies are responding to these trends by innovating and expanding their product lines to include options sweetened with alternative sweeteners, thereby catering to changing tastes and health concerns of modern consumers.
