Hi, got back from a vacation last week, and I'd listened to a lot of Dr. Ted Naiman podcasts on Youtube. I ate an ice cream or dessert daily and a lot of carbs, too. So, now I'm home and cleaning up my act. I Naiman's philosophy of weight loss; to reduce or eliminate the hedonic (super pleasurable and addicting) foods like high sugar and high fat foods (potato chips, ice cream, desserts, salted nuts, etc) that we can't stop eating and/or stops our satiety. He is big on high protein, and low energy-giving calories such as in fats and carbs. After a lot of protein we won't be hungry for other stuff.
In the past I'd done lots of high fat, low carb dieting but it never worked out. This is different, because it doesn't mean you eliminate all foods, just really amp up the protein and tweak things so you reduce the carbs, sugars, and fats. It feels good except I notice I feel tired, probably because my body is going through a lot of changes to feed off my body fat, and/or the low calories I'm ingesting has slowed down my metabolism. At any rate, I'm not really hungry all that much, and that is good. I'm eating way less than before, except for daily protein ingestion. He recommends getting 1 gram of protein for every pound of lean body weight/ideal body weight. I'm not quite reaching it but he also says for most people if they are slightly under that target, they still do fine.
Anyway, thought I'd post here, in case others are doing similar diets. I already feel like I've trimmed off some water weight and just feel better (not so "oofy" in the midrift when I tie my shoes, for example). I want to keep this up and shed some weight. Much needed! My middle-aged spread has gotten bad.
