[Traskey]

Mmmmmmmmm

Does anyone else really crave carbs when they feel crap? All I want to eat right now is choc, bread, pasta and potatoes. I need to kick my butt into gear

 

[cranberry987]

Do sw and you can stuff yourself with pasta!!

I crave carbs when feeling crappy too T!

It's my weakness.

I treat myself to a freddo bar when I'm feeling like that.

[Traskey]

Ooo good ideas.

Well i've had Weetabix for breakfast. That's better for you than toast I hope!

 

[twinkle1975]

It's certainly better for me but that might be due to the amount of butter I like on toast!
Seriously Weetabix seems to keep me full for longer than toast.

I'm trying ready brek atm with warm milk, it tastes better than I thought it would, tho I might scrap that and go to normal porridge once I've finished the boxes (Chris got me ready brek as to him that is porridge)

 

[twinkle1975]

My Godmother is visiting from Denmark and has brought sausages, cheese and sandwich chocolate - whimper!!!

 

[Traskey]

Oh dear! Not sure how i'd do against that lot either

Ah! I missed this thread when I was looking for threads I fit into. Sooooo... here I am! My name is Teri. I'm 36 years old and started ttc in June of 2010. I spun my wheels with no period for 4 months before my previous OB gave me Provera to kick start it. I am NOT a fan of my previous OB. Switched OB's and at the time I started with my new/current OB, I weighed 278. She told me she would like to see me get down to 190 and referred me to an Endocrinologist. From there I have a whole saga of tests, more doctors and more tests. I was diagnosed with PCOS and ofc the insulin resistance that goes with that. She recommended that I look into a low-glycemic diet - i.e. stay away from bad/processed carbs and sugars - and lower my food intake in general.

I haven't been perfect on the diet, but I've changed my lifestyle quite a bit since then and have lost 33 pounds! We're both pretty thrilled with the weight loss, and I'm hoping that I'll be close to her initial goal weight for me in the next several months.

Nice to meet you all and glad to have a thread that fits me so well!

haha! Yeah I've found a couple of threads that fit me - this, the over 35, pcos, metformin. lol It's really nice in all of them to have something in common (or a lot of things) and know that you aren't the only one out there (even though common sense tells you you aren't... lol). So far, I'm really enjoying the ladies in all of the threads!

Hey dodger, welcome.

I've started a new diet girls called dukan, which is basically very little carbs, lots of protein.

I'm on day 2 and already lost a lb! Hoping it might work well with my PCOS. Need to get myself to that magic 11st something, just for myself more than anything. I hadnt lost any weight for 2 weeks so hopefully this will give me a boost. Not far off my next FS appointment now!

xx

 

[Traskey]

Welcome Dodger! Well done on losing 33lbs already.

Good luck with Dukan Beccs. Glad a pound has gone aleady

First day back on the diet today and new ticker. Apple and cinnamon porridge. Not a huge fan but it's meant to be filling so I chugged it down. Only 3 replacements a day though on Cambridge, instead of the 4 on LL so it's going to be tough around 4pm, when i get mega hungry!

 

[cranberry987]

I've heard good things about dukan. Someone I know lost a ton of weight on it. But she looked old and wrinkly afterwards so almost better before. Wasn't the diet tho, just her face

 

[4magpies]

Hahaha, thanks Cran. Hopefully it doesn't make me look old.

Good luck on the cambridge Trask, as you know I was going to try it but they wouldnt let me due to me keep having surgery! LOL.

I'm tempted to try it if this Dukan doesnt do the trick!

[dodgercpkl]

So far all of the weight that I've lost has been due to changing to a low glycemic diet. Now I'm adding in excersize slowly, so hopefully I'll keep going with the weight loss with that!

I've never heard of the Dukan diet! I hope it works for you!

Welcome to the thread Dodger

I was thinking about giving the low GI diet a whirl. Where have you got all you info on it from. I want to start but i'm far to lazy to look it up xxx

 

[Traskey]

Low Gi is like Dukan and South Beach. Basically, no white carbs, potato, pasta etc. You can have brown rice and pasta. Keep the bread to a real minimum. Lots of fruit and veg and lean meat. No processed foods and sugars.

Yeah that. Stick to whole grains and natural sugars. If you do eat some bread (and Traskey is right you should keep it to a minimum) then make sure it's whole grain. I'm not sure if gluten free is necessary, but I'm also trying to keep my breads gluten free (meaning no wheat).
