Re: Dietary restrictions

[replicantangel]

Another unsolicited advice response, sorry. You might want to consider healthier, higher quality calories instead of cutting calories, at least at the beginning. Restricting yourself too much, too fast will set you up for binging and failure. (Your other comment that you have to exercise because you "had dinner" is what concerned me. You should always have dinner. There are debates about how many meals a day you should have, but 3 is usually the minimum.)

Fast food is full of sugars and unhealthy trans fats, which don't produce satiety. A fast food diet will also have you bouncing all over the place with your blood sugar, which also will make you hungrier faster. If you eat healthier, more filling food - baked potatoes instead of fries or eggs instead of sugary cereal, etc - you'll lower your calorie intake without even trying. There are studies that say the sound of crunching helps you feel full too - my go-to snack when I *want* food instead of being actually hungry is baby carrots, because they're filling and the sound makes me conscious of eating while assessing if I'm actually hungry.

My husband went through this at the start of the year. It was so scary for him to get that diagnosis, but he was finally ready to make a change. And while he jokes that I am a cruel taskmaster when it comes to his diet, he honestly has gotten used to it and clearly enjoys being in his own skin more and more as his health improves. He never complains about being hungry. When he is hungry, he makes good choices.

If you want, I can give you some recipes and/or meal plans. I would love to help! No pressure, of course. :) It's a hard path, but if you make small changes, they can have a big impact. It's all about setting yourself up for success. I know you can do it!

I was just upset about that burrito. I did have eggs this morning and those actually did fill me up, otherwise I would have just had some sugary cereal for breakfast.

The bad part is, I work at a fast food place, we do have some healthy things, which I have been mostly eating for the past few months. It's a Mexican-American place (Del Taco for those in the region) and I've avoided rice and mostly tortillas as well.

I would love that, thank you! I never know where to start besides eating smaller portions and soon I end up back in my old habits and I really want to avoid actual diabetes, not a fan of needles.

Re: Dietary restrictions

Yup, I know Del Taco. One good thing is that they have their nutritional info available online. That work is tough, and starting a diet working there would be even tougher! Kudos for making some first steps!

I will message you. :) Prepare for an info dump - don't let it scare you! I'm definitely an advocate of making small but sustainable changes over time.
