[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1358524, member: 41816"] Hi [USER=150648]@memememeiii[/USER] Please forgive me if I have muddled you up with someone else - but are you the same person with a similar name who has previously posted about trying very low carb diets, finding them really difficult to stick to, and rebounding? If you are not, please ignore what I am about to say. But if you ARE that person (hello again, and welcome back :) ) and can I make a few suggestions? Please don't try and do what you did the last few times, because the odds are that you will repeat the cycle and end up rebounding again, with another bout of self-loathing and denial, and end up worse off again. Believe me, I am speaking with the voice of experience. Instead, have a good think about what happened last time, and do it differently. For instance: What is it about your previous diets that went wrong? Too severe? Too boring? Too flavourless? Too restrictive? Too much hunger? Too high targets? Weight loss didn't match expectations? Social pressure? Food cravings? - write down a list and have a think. Then put together a plan that won't press that trigger this time (for me, very low calorie always leaves me hungry and craving carbs. yet very low carb eliminates both of those problems. so my diet becomes 10x easier to stick to) Also, what was it that triggered the rebound? Was it a social gathering with tempting food? Anger? not having a snack when you got really hungry one day? Boredom? Someone criticising you, your food choice, your body? Advice from a doc? A friend? Family? If you can remember, and work it out, you stand a much better chance of not repeating these cycles. Hope that helps! [/QUOTE]
