Well, I regained around 10lbs during the bank holiday weekend! I know why - I binged on bread and sugar for three days. I also ate almost constantly through each day.
Without overthinking it too much, this might be my body set weight trying to reassert itself as Jason Fung discusses - all diets work, but only in the short term. After six months to a year's weight loss a person usually begins to regain.
In the past this would happen to me after just a month or two, and I'd regain all the weight lost plus a good deal more.
Then I would lament the impossibility of getting healthy and give up altogether, falling back on extremely unhealthy comfort cycles.
It could also be something to do with stopping Januvia, which I think suppresses appetite and slows gastric emptying slightly - I had thought that effect had long ago worn off, though, and believe trulicity is much more effective in that role.
I'm back on OMAD this week, but still finding I am hungry with a much increased appetite. I'm getting the fat content and keeping carbs as low as I can, having eggs, pate, lettuce, cucumber dressed with olive oil and cider vinegar and 10% fat Greek yoghurt with ground flax last night. I found myself back in the kitchen looking for something else almost immediately, and didn't feel full at all although the same meal made me feel stuffed before.
I suppose it could be that the sugar overload has kicked my addiction back into top gear, but it was never far away at any time. I know I kind of planned that bender over the weekend, it was definitely me giving myself permission.
I think the best thing for me now would be an extended fast but I'm prevaricating. I'm going to spend some more time on diet doctor now and try to pull myself out of this flat spin.
