If you are not insulin resistant, you can eat those foods, feel full and carry on. That is why keto works so well for me, I am "off the insulin roller-coaster" thus I eat, feel full and carry on. I just can't eat carby foods and be happy and healthy. When I eat the other way I am constantly "thinking about the next meal", starving and then binging, and worse yet feel I have no "will power" and that is not good for the soul. So, yes, I too can not eat like those that are naturally thin.
We must be in different time zone, I am in East Coast Canada, you?

I'm in California Pacific time. I feel tired and get gerd too when I eat grains an dry eye. I also get gerd not nearly as severe from oily foods like tuna and corn beef. I ended up staying up until 8am. Bad night. I haven't weighed I'll get weighed at the drs office.

thanks for reminder of the endless cycle of eating.

I can not eat tuna either, peanut butter is another one that gets me.
Sorry to hear you are had such a bad night. When I do not get enough sleep I lose no weight at all.
Yes it is a terrible cycle to be in, I feel so thankful I am finally out of it.

Ah, hugs nawchem.

You've needed those appointments for a long time. Can you take transit? Or rebook? Breathe, my friend. Stay strong.

So I was at 172.5 on February 8th and after bouncing a bit, I have finally reached it again! Took a long time, but I am happy. Is it going to stay???? No, it's not going to stay.......... because I am going on vacation!!!

Hope to see a new challenge when I get back. See you on the 19th.

I finally got movement--but in the wrong direction. Hoping it will drop again soon. I've increased my exercise in hopes that it will make difference.
