I eat an occasional fish but other than that it's strictly veggies, raw nuts, tofu and beans. I feel better when I eliminate all dairy.
Hugs, Angel

I have to agree with you about the dairy. I don't do well if I have very much. Give me a half a cup of milk and I'll be miserable all day, and beef, pork, lamb, venison makes my arthritis worse and now that i haven't had red meat for so long it even makes me nauseous. But I have to admit that I still love the smell of a steak on the grill. I'm weak, but I'm trying.

My daughter sent that to me in a birthday card. She and I had gone to a weight loss doctor together. She was only dropping about 15 pounds, and I needed the major program.

Getting on LC can cause a little loss of energy and stamina at first, but just keep it up and do whatever exercise you can and before you know it you'll be feeling normal again, or in my case, better than "normal".
It takes a little commitment, but after your body quits complaining about no blood sugar, you'll be fine.
I had a physical 2 weeks ago and didn't tell them that I was LC'ing until after the blood work came back. They told me that EVERYTHING looked great and that it couldn't possibly be better.
No hint of:
diabetes (which runs in my family)
Kidney disease (which doesn't run in my family)
or any other diseases incident to age.

Default Guess I'm a Pesc. (That's Pesh)

Hello.
I'm not truly a veggie, being pescetarian, but here is my quandry: As a musician who sings while playing the piano for hours at a time, I need to find a way to keep my energy going without having huge amounts of dairy (too much makes my voice cloudy).

I have lost weight (size 12 to size 6) over the past two years by my own sort of French/Euro small portions thing, but now that I'm playing more shows, I can't sustain my energy with like one slice of bread, know what I mean?

So, I am really into checking out the world of low-carb as it is applies to my fish eating, piano playing self.

Your thoughts are most appreciated.

hi jenvieve! that was my name in french class back in high school, just had to share that

i'm a pesco-vegetarian too, and i find the low carb lifestyle to be quite compatible with it. my protein sources come from all forms of seafood, low-lactose cottage cheese (and other low lactose dairy sources), eggs, and legumes. a lot of the veggie products are also great. the only problem you could potentially run into is not eating enough fat (since most fish is lean as are our other protein sources), so be sure to include in your diet olive oil and avocados, fatty fish, and a moderate amount of nuts and seeds.

good luck to you!

Default A multitasking question

I am paranoid about gaining old weight back (which I had previously lost through smaller portions, more water, and a bit of walking and yoga (French Women Don't Get Fat kind of thing).
Good ideas on nuts and avocados and all of that.
Do you let yourself have carbs in small portions?
So nice to chat with other pescos...
