Thank you amber, this is great suggestions for my coning days.

My program now only count Protein. I am still in liquid stage, in 2 more days i move to puree food then 2 more week whole food which is when i will need to make the real adjustment to food choices for my life forward.

Reading this fourm, with many great experiences give me hope but it is for sure not an easy journey, but easy journey got me where i am now

My program also only counted Protein and suggested "low carb" with roughly 40% of calories coming from protein, 30% carb, and 30% fat. If you eat 1000 calories (to make the math easier, but you won't probably hit 1000 calories for a while, at least a few months), that would be 100g protein, 75g carb, and 33g fat. As time goes on and calorie intake goes up, my dietician says the percentage of protein might decrease and carb might increase, but it's about finding what works for you. Also, I was told not to worry about hitting these numbers perfectly every single day, but to look at the weekly average for a better idea of how you're doing.

Our cuisine depends on lots of carbs like bread, so i started changing that for me and my family as well. I am now more open to different recipes and making tweaks to our regular recipes. I am hoping to help my family get an early start on healthy diet.

Bad diet+ stress eating+ no activity equal a disaster waiting to happen 😔. I learned that the hard way. I am just hoping i will have a strong well to adhere to better way of life from now on especially with my physical disability that prevents me from regular exercise like walking
