[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 2037919, member: 468714"] Hi [USER=503757]@Adm_Mad[/USER], Sorry to hear you are feeling overwhelmed by a seemingly huge mountain to climb. Some things to consider from my reading, not as professional opinion or advice: A recent US researcher summed up the current situation on successful weight loss approaches as: 1) calorie restriction, 2) low carb high fat diet and 3) gastric stapling Some people start with 1) and move to 2) after achieving weight loss. others start with 2 and keep on it 3) is desperation and not without risk see recent thread on weight loss. such as 'Starting a low carb and low calorie diet ... and the Low Carb forum and also on 'carb addiction' which can be a thing. On low carb and keto diets some vegetables are allowed (growing above ground varieties like broccoli, BPs etc) and, in fact, are important to help obtain essential vitamins and minerals. see dietdoctor.com and Recipes on the Home page Depression has many causes - and Thyroid disorders and vitamin B 12 deficiency can mimic depression so need to be excluded with blood tests (see mayoclinic.org - thyroid disease; Vitamin B12 disorders) Under-active thyroid disorders can be associated with weight gain also. Some anti-depressants can cause weight gain so best avoided. Counselling might be a first step before anti-depressants also. Best wishes :):):) [ATTACH]32575[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]32577[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
