I’ve decided not to do Keto for several reasons. I need fiber for my stomach issues and I am missing fruit.
Growing up my mom somehow knew abt nutrition. Breakfast was either an egg, piece of toast, milk and fresh oj or hot/cold cereal, grapefruit and milk. Lunch was a sandwich or yogurt... prune because that was all that was made back then. Dinner was meat, veggies, and a starch and always a dessert, but everything was portion controlled. My dad was old world so he filled our plates and pass them to us.
My brother could have seconds but I couldn’t because I had a thyroid problem. If I was hungry after school I could have an apple. My father was very stricken abt all of this and the results were I became a closet eater. I bought and ate candy most days either during lunch or on my way home. Good thing I was an outside kid who loved to ride my bike.
As an adult my weight fluctuated due to the freedom to choose my own food. Took me a while to come back to a more balanced way of eating.
Twice I have lost large amounts of weight..once 20lbs and another 40. Both were accomplished by eating
From the Diet Center program and walking.
In thinking abt my body and how it responds to food, I have decided to go back to the Diet center program and have just reordered the book. I actually worked as a counselor for the company and know that it works for older women.
It simple and easy to follow and I can eat wasa bread and fruit. When I lost my 40lbs i did IF without knowing what it was. I didn’t eat breakfast because I was busy, and sometimes I only ate one meal a day because I was going to college full time 8-11 and working 11:30-4:00 as a server.
Although I don’t have my book yet, I remember much of the program. I am doing IF with my window from 12-6 though most nights we eat by 5. I’ve never been much of a night eater but my hernia has changed some of that. I’ve found I needed to eat a larger salad at night to counter that.
When I went to amazon to buy my book, I was amazed to see in the comments how many women had been successful in the pass using the diet and are repurchasing the book like I am.
Question... who is this woman who walked 6 miles in her house without ever leaving. I can do that with my gazelle.
