[QUOTE="memememeiii, post: 1798377, member: 150648"] End of week three...I have lost 19 lbs. I broke the diet three times. And I'm aware of the need to rein it in or this is going to derail altogether. I'm trying not to have extremist thinking about this, as I'm aware that there are 80 lbs to lose not just 40, and then I need to keep it off. I read about a guy who shed 60 lbs and became non-diabetic (in practice, anyway...he exercises a lot and keeps it off, but can eat normally). I wish. I dream. This is what I want. I have had some very frustrating moments, and am doing - I suppose - as well as I can in self nurturing, educating myself, and trying to stay the course with the help of my doctor and friends. My doc has reduced my Janumet to half a dosage - 1 pill a day with 850 mg of metformin in it. I find my heart pulse all OVER the place and now slowing to the point where the weight loss is stupidly slow. I mean, I actually have to REALLY work hard to get even a pound off in a few days. It's frustrating. I'm trying to become more vigilant about drinking 3L of water a day - haven't done it yet. And this no-oil business is a nightmare. I won't mince words about it. I absolutely hate it. But I can see it's key to losing weight faster. Oil is dense in calories. You may all disagree with me. Thoughts? I am not convinced that HIGH amounts of fat is the answer to staying healthy...I wonder if LCHF means...moderate/healthy 'high' fats, ie. higher than we've been brainwashed into thinking we should have. I crave food all the time. It's a slow agony. But I have done well so far. Carrying on. MM. [/QUOTE]
