Majorly FLUSTERED today... I am back up 2 lbs. What a yo-yo. I am really bloated and constipated. I am doing psyllium fiber and citracel fiber 2x day diligently. I drink as much water as I possibly can, until it causes acid reflux, which is almost every late afternoon into the evening. Then I have to take an acid reducer and it's 50/50 whether it works or not. I am not walking like I should, so I got to get over my chronic fatigued self and just do it, everyday. I have not been getting restful sleep for awhile. I think this is because I am so frustrated with not losing weight when I have done everything right. I also need to start being creative with my lunch and dinner meals. Again, I let my CFS get in my way. I have all the foods to do it, just need to follow through.
I did a cortisol 24 urine test awhile back, endocrinologist has been out of the office, still waiting on results. I am really curious if this has affected my weight loss progress. I hope to hear something soon.
Week before last, I sent a message to my primary doctor that I was not losing. She offered to send me to weight management center. I told her I wished to think about it because it is in SF Bay area, and that means lots of long distance driving. Besides my CFS, I would have a hard time meeting my water requirement for LCHF. I am seriously considering it though, after I get my cortisol test results back.
This morning I almost decided to change my WOE after I weighed. I have been contemplating it for a week now. Not because I can't do LCHF, but because of the constant yo-yo of my weight. I planned a day on a different WOE, but as soon as I had a sip of coffee w/2 Tbs of regular coffee creamer and liquid stevia, I changed my mind. I've worked to hard this long to give in so easily. So, I'm gonna take it easy on myself, and quit worrying and beating myself up.
Eliminating pressurized whip cream that I use on coffee to see if that helps.
One day, One step at a time. I got this!

I don't understand your initial things like lchf and like that but I do know that sometimes I'll go a week without losing anything and then all of a sudden one day I drop 5 lb that could happen to you too

saniv, I am supposed to be using whole carbs to do the Low Carb High Fat plan that my doctor recommended, but I am tracking both whole and net carbs just to see what happens in regards to increasing my fiber to 20-25 as recommended as well. The only thing I was barely able to get away with was berries for 2 1/2 yrs of Atkins, rarely being able to get out of Phase One.

Fritzy 22, I am tracking both whole and net carbs, but doctor wanted me to do whole carbs to total 20 grams for now. Yes, when I did Atkins for 2 1/2 yrs I did eat berries, lost 85 lbs, but I could never get out of Phase One, when I did, I would gain, so would drop back to Phase One again. Right now, I am afraid to introduce berries because of my yo-yo I am doing. Hopefully soon, I can add them. I have whole fat plain yogurt that I wanted to add some stevia and fresh mixed berries to. :) On the Low Carb High Fat plan, I am supposed to be able to eat whole fat dairy. Not sure it is liking me at this time though.

Don’t give up - the scale doesn’t give you the entire picture - you may have lost 2 lbs of fat and gained 4 lbs of water ... scales are NOT an accurate picture!

mary1154, LCHF is Low Carb High Fat, basically your body uses primarily fat to use for weight loss instead of carbohydrates. I have lost weight doing this, but I am struggling as I go along. I keep expecting that Whoosh of a weight drop, but I am still waiting. Hopefully soon! Thank you for your insight and support! :)

Doctors are given only a quick, rudimentary course on nutrition. Obviously, their focus has to be elsewhere. We can work out what works for our own bodies by tweaking and getting online help. There are some good online sites that will help with just about any WOE anyone might try. I think you are doing great Moondove. Just hang in there!

Acid Reflux is caused by a stomach is not acidic enough. One popular remedy is Apple Cider Vinegar. This will make the stomach acid enough for it to close up properly, and Acid Reflux will stop.
