I lost 2 pounds this week and right before the big Thanksgiving holiday. Lots of parties coming soon. I have not been hard core Keto, just eating when I am hungry and stopping when I am full. When I say full, I mean that first feeling of full. I don't like feeling sick. When you have a tiny tummy and you are really hungry, you can make mistakes.
Either you eat to fast and feel sick, or you eat the wrong things that won't sustain you and you feel icky. When I eat protein first (Eggs, meat high in fat etc.) and then veggies, I feel good for hours. The amount is small, so doing takeout is actually easy with a VSG LCHF lifestyle. But don't be fooled, you can eat slowly and eat a lot of calories. This is where sugar and flour can be the obstacle to your weight loss success.
I find that not depriving myself a bite of something has helped me more psychologically from feeling deprived and craving or feeling guilt or obsessed about "forbidden foods'. I say there are no forbidden foods. Everything in moderation, but sugar and flour are as addictive as any hardcore drug out there. I feel better when I don't eat them, but they sure taste good. The buzz from eating them, feels great for a short time. Then comes the icky feeling. It's remembering the icky feelings is what makes it easier to eat what is best for me first.
This is what's makes having VSG surgery so valuable if you had problems stopping eating. Make those bites count. Enjoy what you are eating, emotionally and physically. You will find what works for you and your body. TRUST YOURSELF AND YOUR PROCESS.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday week and I'll follow-up with yall' soon.
