Losing weight thanks to more protien!



Recommended Posts

I am happy to report I have lost 2lbs in the past 4 days, I have been upping my Protein, eating a ton of veggies and some fruit - no breads due to them getting stuck!

173.5 and today 171.5, I can't wait to break the 170's finally. I feel good, clearer, healthier, my skin is clearing up and I have energy!

I agree, I lost 30 pounds in 2 months and I was going protien crazy. Like 70grams a day...

I'm new to the No Carb way as well ..... I also can't do just liquids. in fact, i can't do ANY liquids!! I drink tons of Water , and love my morning coffee, but shakes? smoothies? Protein Drinks? No Thank You !! I could never drink a meal... it doesn't work for me at all. I gag , to be blunt. I never set out to be a No carber, but since most bread, Pasta and rice get caught or stuck, i really dont have much choice. I do, however, get carbs in other forms, so technically i'm an Occasional Carber :-) dairy, sugar, etc...

What are some of your favorite foods that you fill up on? I LOVE fruit, but cant eat much of it any more :-( I'm also limited on the Veg that i can digest, which really stinks, as i actually DREAM about veggies! lol

As far as meat, I like Rare steak, Fried / Broasted chicken ( Dark Meat ), Chicken Strips, and ALL seafood. I can eat Lamb Chops on occasion, but not crazy about pork, except for Ham and Bacon ( go figure )

Thought ? Suggestions? :-D

I stocked up on Protein this last shopping trip...chicken, tuna, eggs, cheese, stuff for chilli, and Protein shakes.

are there any high Protein Snacks that anyone can recommend?

how'bout high protein sweets?...I make vital wheat gluten flour walnut Cookies with Equal and Splenda Brown sugar...they are pretty yummy...

Bob's Red Mill Vital Wheat GLUTEN Flour

serving size:1/4 cup (3/4 cup used for batch of cookies)

23 grams protein per serving of flour

6 grams carbs per serving of flour

blend flour, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp vanilla, 1 cup walnuts, 1 egg, unsweet applesauce or 1/4 cup butter, 8 pkts Equal & some Splenda brown sugar to taste & bake @ 350 for 10 minutes...

I do best when I focus on Protein first. If I get. Enough protein in, like 70 grrams, I don't feel hungry & I have more energy. Like Premiere shakes from costco as a meal substitute or as a snack. Also, eggs, tuna, lean hamburger, greek yogurt, lean steak. Isopure drinks too. Fat free cottage cheese and milk. I add fresh fruit. Proteins seem to really help me not have cravings.

Hello, that is a great weight loss, sorry but I am a bit confused as just starting to get back into low carb, is 70 grams about 2 t bone steaks or could you give me a rough idea in meat that 70 grams would be? thanks so much.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
