hey I just saw your post about PCOS being a hormonal issue not a gyno one while I was surfing the tag. I was diagnosed a couple months back and all my gyno did was a 2 min ultrasound and then prescribed me birth control. I would like to have actual help and more info on it but I'm not sure who I'm supposed to go to for that. Seeing as you were in a similar situation I'd appreciate your help.

seems like gynos really suck with pcos, don't they? 🥴 warning you now, this is going to be a very long post, because i'm essentially writing out absolutely everything i did and everything i've learned, so strap in for a ride aldksfjasldf

the first thing to do is research, research, research. i spent a whole week constantly on pcos websites (such as pcosaa and this article, tho fair warning, the article does use academic speech so it might not be the easiest thing to read) and watching videos and doing what i could to inform myself. the way you can know if you're looking at a credible resource is how the source defines pcos: does it pose it as a reproductive system disorder? or an endocrine (hormonal) disorder? if it talks about it as a reproductive system disorder, then it's probably wrong.

please note that i am not, obviously, a medical professional, but this is how i understand pcos works. i'll use me as an example just so i can use first person perspective, but it applies to pcos patients in general.

so, my cells are insulin resistant. that means that when i eat, my body releases, lets say, 100 (x measurement) of insulin. because my cells are insulin resistant, they say "hey, i'm only gonna use 50x of that insulin". but they still NEED that 100x to function. so my body releases ANOTHER 100x of insulin, so my cells go "ok i'll take 50x" and so while my cells now have the 100x they're supposed, to i now have 100x insulin floating around.

that extra insulin not only wreaks havoc on many systems of the body, it is the reason why most people with pcos that goes untreated end up with type 2 diabetes. the extra insulin is also converted (or spurs the creation of? i'm not entirely certain on the how here) into testosterone and other androgen (male) hormones. so your body has too much insulin, and now it has too much testosterone, too. that extra testosterone is what fucks with your reproductive system and prevents the follicles on your ovaries from maturing (which is what the 'cysts' are). it also often creates increased facial hair, acne (especially on the 'beard line'), and worse body odor. between the testosterone and the insulin, it's nigh impossible to lose weight.

also note that because your body has to release more insulin for your cells to get an adequate amount, you likely crave carbs and sugars (salty/crunchy things and sweets), and you're likely frequently fatigued, bc your body isn't, well, working correctly and it's taking more energy to perform basic functions.

secondly, take all this information that you know to your doctor. i legitimately wrote down some notes about this process in a little notebook and took it with me so that i wouldn't forget/get too anxious to bring any of it up. i also wrote down the things i had been doing to help up to that point (working out, what my diet was, etc etc) and what i was concerned about. lastly, i also wrote down what medications and supplements i had heard of in my research to see what my doctor thought of them.

my doctor's first 'attack' choice is ozempic--it's a weekly shot that helps to regulate insulin levels and also is pretty good at helping weight loss. be aware though that most commercial insurances don't pay for this, but if your doctor is good, they'll try to work around that so that you're not paying a frankly outrageous amount for it. also look out for sometime this fall, my doc said that the ozempic manufacturers are trying to get ozempic approved for weight loss (it's approved for other things) and that should help bring the price down?? anyway, that's my doc's preferred method, but because of my finances, we currently can't do that.

his second attack, which i'm now on, is metformin. it's a medication mostly used for diabetics that helps with blood sugar levels which, again, is that insulin issue. my mom has been on it for 14 years bc diabetes runs in our family anyway, so it's perfectly safe for long time use and definitely helps with keeping either away from or within the pre-diabetes phase. again, i've only been on it now two days so i can't say anything for me but we'll see how it goes lmao

he also approved of me using omega 3 (fish pills) supplements because they help balance things out in general, not just pcos, and he was good with me using spearmint, too. i'm starting out on one cup of spearmint tea a day and see how that effects me, but i've heard of people having up to two spearmint supplement pills and a cup of spearmint tea a day, too. spearmint is a 'defense', as far as i can explain it: it has (tho limited) research that it lowers the testosterone levels in women with pcos. so while it doesn't help with the insulin so it doesn't attack the source, it can help with the testosterone aspect, aka facial hair, acne, etc. i've also heard of cinnamon supplements and inositol supplements helping, but i didn't get a chance to ask about either of those from my doctor, so make sure if you want to give those a try, you talk about them and make sure they won't interfere with any of your other medications and get your doctor's approval on them, first.

thirdly, ask about what else you can do to help yourself. my doctor stressed the importance of a proper night's sleep, as well as advised to try to cut back on carbs and sugars (IMPORTANT NOTE: some people claim that you HAVE to be on a keto diet to get results with pcos. WRONG. please don't do this. keto diets are entirely unsustainable. and cutting back on carbs and sugars does not mean cutting them OUT, it just means if you want a snack, try reaching for a protein or a vegetable instead of a carb. but don't limit yourself!! please, be conscious about what you eat, and remember that sometimes yeah, a slice of cake or a serving of chips isn't going to kill you or set your pcos back. don't risk getting an e.d. just for the sake of your pcos). he also told me that the best exercise that i personally should do is either HIIT exercises or cardio, and to do at least an hour a day, even if it's 30 mins in the morning, 30 in the evening--and to work up to that so even doing ten minutes a day, then increasing it from there, is healthier and better than jumping straight into a whole ass hour. he also told me to aim for a certain heartrate. i don't remember the formula he used, but for me at 22 (based on age) he wanted me to try to aim for 150-160 bpm. again, especially with exercise, that was what he recommended for me. you're likely different from me, so ask your doctor and see what he says.

fourthly, and perhaps most importantly, DON'T BOTHER WITH A GYNO. all of this that i've gotten done for me was from my family doctor, so just the guy i go to for yearly check ups. see if you can do some routine blood work to give him (or her) as wide of a picture as possible, and then go in and talk with a regular doctor about this. a friend of mine also has a friend who actually goes to an endocrinologist to get her pcos sorted out, so that's also an option. gynos seem to just treat the symptoms; birth control gives you a regular period by helping with your estrogen, but that doesn't decrease your testosterone OR do anything with the insulin. my doc is keeping me on birth control pills just so that i have a regular cycle so we can watch and see if anything else happens to it, so it's okay to stay on the birth control, but ultimately, birth control pills don't do anything for pcos.

i know it's difficult and probably kinda scary/anxiety inducing if you're younger or just have anxiety, but you've gotta advocate for yourself in this case. you have to show the doctor that you know what you're talking about and that you're able to call him out on his bullshit if he doesn't take you seriously. also, if your doctor is helpful, don't be afraid to be frank with him about what your gyno did. like i've said with my experience, i got the validation of knowing that my gyno was wrong by explaining to my doctor how he treated me. you deserve better than what your gyno did, and you deserve to actually be treated as a person and your disorder be taken seriously.

i'm wishing you the best of luck, and i hope that you'll be able to get the help that you need 💕💕💕

diet that actually works

alright everyone. i'm about to share with you a diet that is super easy to stick to and actually yields results.

now, just a disclaimer, this may not be as fast/extreme as some of you would like, but i can guarantee you all that this pace allows you to be consistent and prevents you from constantly falling into a binge cycle.

within a month of starting this meal plan, i have lost 13lbs. that is an average of 3.5lbs a week.

average daily intake: 800 calories

BREAKFAST

EVERY morning, i drink a profast chocolate shake. they're sold at a local metabolic weight loss center, and they are admittedly pricey, but they are definitely worth it. if you can find a similar/cheaper substitute, even better.

i also ALWAYS drink coffee with a packet of splenda and .25-.5 cup of cashew milk. the foods you eat on this diet are pretty limited so i need my caffeine in the morning, as well as some fat to keep me satiated.

profast shake: 100 calories, 7g carbs, 1.5g fat, 15g protein

1-2 cups of coffee: 20 calories, 3g carbs, 1g fat, .5g protein

LUNCH

for school, i only pack one thing: a very, very basic salad. it encourages me to stick to smaller portion sizes and it also relieves my growling stomach at just the right time of day. if i ever am feeling weak/faint, i will pick up leftover scraps/snacks from my friends and classmates.

chopped romaine (2 cups): 16 calories, 3.2g carbs, .2g fat, 0g protein *2g dietary fiber*

grilled chicken breast (1 oz): 53 calories, 0g carbs, 2.1g fat, 8g protein

sliced cucumber (.5 cup): 8 calories, 1.9g carbs, 0g fat, .3g protein

lite ken's balsamic vinegrette (2 tbsp): 60 calories, 3g carbs, 4.5g fat, 0g protein

it really is essential to have some source of protein—i have struggled for years to implement a plant-based diet in my household. given that i'm an 18 year old living with my parents, i really did not get much of a say in dinner selection. a meat protein, however, has the ideal macronutrients ratio for this diet, and also will keep you the most full throughout the day while also repairing your muscles after heavy workouts.

while you also may assume that you can go without the salad dressing, please know that the dressing often times contains your highest amount of fat for the day. as i'm sure you know, you will be very constipated during this diet and i suggest sticking to natural means of achieving bowel movements—so stick to coffee and keep this portion of fat in your diet.

DINNER

i am very privileged to have a mother willing to work with me on this diet, and i am very grateful for the work she puts into preparing my dinners. while we do switch up the dinner menu every night to avoid monotony, it is ALWAYS a vegetable paired with a meat protein.

typical vegetables: broccoli, asparagus, cauliflower, zucchini, brussels sprouts

typical proteins: chicken, salmon, turkey, pork tenderloin

i try to eat as early in the evening as possible, around 6:30pm, so my body has plenty of time to digest and also burn off any additional calories before i go to bed. to avoid late night snacking, i focus on homework or watch youtube videos, specifically mukbangs or 10,000 calorie challenges. if i really cannot resist the urge, my go-to treat is 1 outshine fruit popsicle. the no sugar ones are 25 calories and they're just the right size to satisfy me. it also makes me think that i'm cheating on the diet, so having just one is enough to keep me from going back.

EXERCISE / WORKOUTS

this is so important for this diet, and i definitely credit it for speeding up my weight loss process. even as someone undoubtedly suffering from body dysmorphia, i am starting to see positive changes in my physical state. my legs are slimmer and have more defined contours, showing off my muscles. my stomach is MUCH flatter than i was at my starting weight, and my hipbones actually protrude out.

i play lacrosse for my school, meaning i exercise roughly 4-5 days a week. practice extends for 2 hours, while games last 50 min, plus our 1 hour warm-ups.

i'm definitely not saying you NEED to pick up a sport in order to do well, but i am telling you that being obligated to teammates and a coach really pushes me to workout every weekday, and prevents me from excusing myself from exercising.

before practice every day, our team runs 1 mile together, with the average pace being 6.5mph. at my weight, 150lbs, that burns me roughly 100 calories.

during actual practice, we do a lot of jogging/sprinting throughout all of the drills, but we also wait in lineups and whatnot, so when i calculate my burned calories in myfitnesspal, i always underestimate the time of my workout. instead of logging 2 hours of lacrosse, i typically log 35 minutes, which burns 320 calories for me. i'd rather underestimate than overestimate.

for those of you that are not committed to a sport: i highly recommend purchasing the p90x package. once my lacrosse season ends, i will be turning to that as my form of exercise. p90x provides a great workout plan for those who are specifically looking to become lean, rather than bulky, while still building defined muscle. i'm pretty sure the average p90x workout burns around 450 calories, and if you pair that with a mile run, that'll give you a total of -550 calories a day.

PLEASE do not skip this aspect of the diet— if you think you can just create a calorie deficit without implementing some form of exercise and strength training, you are not going to get the results that you want. yes, you will lose weight. but that weight will be a combination of fat AND muscle.

the more muscle you have, the higher your BMR is, simply because it requires more energy to maintain muscle than fat. in addition, having muscle will make you look much more toned rather than flabby/one-dimensional. i promise you that you will not bulk up like a body-builder if you eat protein or workout. instead, you're going to achieve a flat stomach/abs and toned arms/legs. the only way you would bulk up is if you eat a caloric surplus, so you have nothing to worry about.

ADDITIONAL POINTERS

cut out oils. this is so so important— oils contain way too much fat and way too many calories. your body needs to be using the fat it already has for energy, not new sources of fat that you put into your body

the macronutrients ratio: 50% protein, 30% carbohydrates, 20% fat. you want to really boost your protein intake in order to repair your muscles after working out. carbohydrates also provide your body easily-accessible energy, but a majority of those carbs should come from vegetables.

NO fruit. fruit contains way too much sugar and while they do contain fiber, you can do without them.

NO grains. grains, such as pasta and bread, are extremely high in calories and, honestly, do not really keep you full. i understand eating a bagel right before an extreme workout in order to get some energy, but grains really do not provide much sustenance and i highly suggest you do not indulge.

gastrointestinal issues. yes, you are going to be constipated. stick to coffee and the salad dressing as natural laxatives, but if you NEED a bowel movement, consider drinking smooth move tea. or milk of magnesia. and a TON of water. as someone who often suffers from painful bloating, i recommend buying gasx chewables— they are so relieving and they actually taste like candy, without having any calories.

buy a lifewater. lifewater is my saving grace. by purchasing a 1L bottle, it encourages me to drink SO much water throughout the day. i normally keep it room temperature and i end up drinking over 3L within 24 hours, and i am TERRIBLE at reminding myself to hydrate. water is so so important for this diet, especially if you are working out often. it also encourages more bowel movements and prevents your body from retaining too much water.

avoiding a binge. i actually keep a list of foods in my notes app. it features a ton of meals/snacks that i am dying to indulge in. for some reason, it helps me. also, try to remind yourself that the primitive part of your brain is fueling your irrational cravings, but your advanced brain is control of your motor functions. YOU are in control of whether or not you grab snacks and feed yourself, NOT your cravings.

feel free to send me any messages if you have any questions! hope this works for you all!

Beer for kidney stone vedas

Beer for kidney stone

Passing a kidney stone should be just about as difficult as conceiving an offspring. Considering I have a <1% of conceiving an offspring (who can say for sure what's in store) and a 19% shot at shaping a kidney stone, I'd prefer to limit my danger however much as could reasonably be expected! I've gotten many clashing thoughts on the connection among lager and kidney stones. Does brew forestall kidney stones? Or on the other hand does it cause them?

Brew doesn't straightforwardly cause kidney stones. However, it can prompt weight gain, lack of hydration, and expanded purine levels, which can hypothetically prompt an expanded danger. Nonetheless, studies have shown that drinking brew and wine can decrease your danger of getting kidney stones. At last, there are better approaches to lessen your danger of kidney stones.

Thus, since we have our reply, it is presumably best that I account for myself! How might drinking lager forestall kidney stones while additionally expanding hazard?

What Are Kidney Stones?

Kidney stones are strong bits of material that start to frame inside your urinary parcel. The urinary lot comprises of the kidneys, urethra, bladder, prostate (in men), and urethra. A kidney stone will frame in the kidney and goes down the urinary parcel in your pee.

In the event that the kidney stone is sufficiently little, you may not take note. Your pee might be cloudier than expected, yet that is it. Issues happen when the kidney stone expands. A kidney stone that is bigger than 5mm is sufficiently huge to cause a blockage. Assuming the stone causes no side effects, it very well may be overlooked. In any case, in case there are any manifestations it should be taken out. Indications of a kidney stone blockage include:

Torment from your lower back to your inward thigh (known as Renal Colic)

Sweat

Sickness

Expecting to pee earnestly

Heaving

In the event that any of these manifestations are available, no brew on the planet will help you! Get yourself some clinical consideration. On the off chance that you have a huge kidney stone (98% of kidney stones are adequately little to pass normally), then, at that point you will either have it eliminated utilizing shock wave treatment, or you should have it precisely eliminated.

Various Forms of Kidney Stone

You might be astounded to realize that there are a few distinct types of kidney stone.

Calcium Oxalate: The most widely recognized type of kidney stone by a wide margin is calcium oxalate. This is brought about by pee that is acidic and can be influenced by an eating regimen that is high in calcium. This will be a kick in the teeth for any individual who has as of late began eating more green verdant vegetables (which are high in calcium).

Calcium Phosphate: Nowhere close as normal, this type of kidney stone is brought about by pee that is soluble instead of acidic.

Uric Acid: Keep this one as a top priority for some other time. One more extraordinary type of kidney stone, shaped by significant degrees of purines in the eating routine. These can be found in creature items and brew!

Struvite Stones: Second most normal type of kidney stones, not influenced by diet

Assuming you have a kidney stone, the odds are good that it will either be a calcium oxalate one or a struvite stone. As 80% are calcium oxalate stones, and 5-10% are calcium phosphate, you find out about how uncommon different structures are.

Does Beer Cause Kidney Stones?

The odds of brew straightforwardly causing kidney stones are unimaginably low. However it is conceivable. Brew is high in purines, a substance compound that is found in all food varieties. Be that as it may, brew (and a few different types of liquor) are especially high in purines. Significant degrees of purine in brew can cause a development in uric corrosive. Liquor likewise hinders the body's capacity to kill uric corrosive. A one-two punch!

In this way, there is potential for brew to be the reason for uric corrosive kidney stones. In any case, it ought to be focused on that heftiness is a greater danger factor for uric corrosive kidney stones. Also, uric corrosive kidney stones are quite uncommon. Brew isn't answerable for calcium oxalate kidney stones, nor struvite stone. Both of these cosmetics around 80-90% of all kidney stones.

Yet, lager drinking can by implication cause kidney stones. One of the normal reasons for kidney stones is lack of hydration, and we realize that lager can dry out you on account of my article regarding the matter. Weighty drinking over a delayed period can likewise prompt corpulence, which is one of the main sources of kidney stones. Add to that the strain that drinking places on the kidneys, which can cause kidney infection (another reason).

Having said all that, the possibilities that the brew in your grasp will cause kidney stones are very low.

The vast majority who get kidney stones have basic conditions (individuals with Chrones illness are almost certain to get kidney stones for instance). There is additionally a hereditary factor to consider. While lager can cause kidney illness and heftiness, it takes a great deal of brew to do that. Moderate to light lager drinking alone doesn't prompt kidney illness or corpulence. It is typically one of a few elements.

Primary concern: Yes, brew can cause kidney stones. However this is normally in a roundabout way through expanding your danger of corpulence and putting strain on your kidneys. The purine content of brew may likewise prompt kidney stones, however this is exceptionally uncommon.

Does Beer Prevent Kidney Stones?

Assuming quite possibly brew could cause kidney stones, how might lager forestall kidney stones? It's unquestionably a fascinating subject (essentially it is to me). On the off chance that you have the beginnings of a kidney stone, successive pee can assist you with passing it. Brew as a diuretic will expand pee, and because of the volume of lager, you drink it is more useful than different types of liquor. Recollect a lager is normally 95% water. Notwithstanding, you would likewise should drink sufficient water to stay away from drying out.

As a technique for overseeing kidney stones, lager is an OK arrangement. It builds pee and in blend with water could assist you with remaining hydrated. Picking a low-liquor brew (2-3%) would be your smartest choice. Keep in mind, the higher the liquor content, the less helpful it will be. Be that as it may, there are better techniques to expand pee. Simply drinking a ton of water would work for a beginning!

Be that as it may, does brew drinking forestall the arrangement of kidney stones in any case?

A recent report by Ferraro et al contrasted various beverages with see which beverages were bound to cause kidney stones. It tracked down that the people who drank lager consistently were 41% less inclined to foster kidney stones. This isn't in any case, the main review to have discovered that liquor can diminish the danger of creating kidney stones.

Studies by the very group in 1996 and 1998 likewise tracked down that customary utilization of liquor decreased the danger of kidney stones. The most probable justification for this might be that drinking can bring down degrees of antidiuresis chemical (the chemical that stops you peeing).

"Liquor ingestion is related with a diuresis; albeit some proof exists that liquor admission might diminish flowing degrees of antidiuretic chemical with resulting pee weakening" Ferraro et al 2013

Primary concern: There is a connection between regular brew drinking and a decreased danger of kidney stones, yet the reason is obscure. Regardless of whether it is relationship or causation is not really set in stone. Light to direct brew drinking could help, yet weighty drinking won't help.

The most effective method to Prevent Kidney Stones

At this point you are likely spurred to try not to get kidney stones in any case. However, what is the most ideal approach to that? All things considered, the following are seven different ways that might assist with forestalling kidney stones from shaping in any case.

#1 Reconsider that Vitamin C Supplement

This initial one isn't a conviction, yet there could be an association between high portions of nutrient C and kidney stone development. A recent report neglected to track down a solid affiliation, yet there is as yet a chance. The thought is that abundance nutrient C is changed over into oxalate which is then discharged through pee. Yet, the expanded oxalate can frame calcium oxalate. While the proof is so far uncertain, you might need to reexamine your nutrient C enhancement.

#2 Lower your Sodium Intake

Sodium has a great deal of medical advantages, so kindly don't attempt to kill it from your eating regimen. However, many individuals will in general devour significantly more sodium than they ought to. High sodium levels can be perilous for your wellbeing, however can likewise expand your danger of kidney stones. This is on the grounds that sodium can expand the measure of calcium in your pee. As we currently know, high calcium levels in your pee can transform into kidney stones.

#3 Stay Hydrated

At this point the significance of remaining hydrated ought to be clear. A 2016 meta-examination distributed in the Journal of Nephrology thought about the results of a few investigations into hydration and kidney stones. It found that drinking more water not just decreased the danger of repeating kidney stones, it diminished the danger of getting one in any case. The review found a:

"… essentially diminished danger of occurrence kidney stones among people with high liquid utilization. High liquid utilization additionally diminished the danger of repetitive kidney stones."

Cheungpasitporn et al 2016

#4 Swap Out Some Animal Protein for Plant-Based Protein

Prior to this next one, could any veggie lovers who are going to act self-satisfied simply recollect that one of the reasons for kidney stones is calcium that is found in dull mixed greens? Good wishes.

Creature protein is a likely reason for kidney stones. Actually like brew, creature protein (meat, dairy, and so forth) is high in purines, which can prompt overabundance uric corrosive. Meat can likewise be high in sodium. You don't have to eliminate meat and dairy from your eating routine, however trading in some plant-based protein sources sometimes couldn't do any harm.

#5 Consume More Citrus Fruit

At the point when life gives you lemons … ensure you tear them separated with your teeth and drink that sweet citrus extract down, consequences be damned. Since citrate in citrus organic products can assist with forestalling kidney stones! A recent report found that drinking lemonade (the one made with genuine lemons) worked on urinary citrate just as all out pee volume, making it successful at decreasing the danger of kidney stones.

Keto Food Doesn’t Bring You Joy Like Sweets Used To - Try This!

You only need one goal: "stay on plan today." that's it. lather, rinse, repeat. before you know it, one day turns into one week, into one month, into one year. if you mess up, start again tomorrow. Find a keto dessert that satisfies your cravings. It could be Lily’s chocolate or a mug cake or keto cheesecake or red jelly with whipped cream. Always have it on hand so that you have something to reach for when you feel tempted to cheat.

Day to star new diet regime?

Start at your 2nd last working day on the week, better if there are extra holiday ahead, I started at Thursday, I'm off on Saturday and Sunday, and there is also a holiday on Monday so I can lay on my bed and not doing anything while I'm having the keto flu. This is assuming you are lucky enough to have keto flu on your 3rd day. Ignore the replacement foods. real chicken, beef, pork, and fish will never steer you wrong. Fat is a limit not a goal. I had already lost 40 pounds on keto before I understood what fat is a limit not a goal meant. Eat as just much fat as you need to feel full but be mindful of what fat you eat and not exceed your fat macros guidelines if you want to lose weight. Low carb keto weight loss depends on burning your body fat for fuel instead of carbs. If you eat too much fat, you burn your food fat instead of body fat. You need fat to feel full which is why it is said it is a limit meaning do not go over the fat macro.

Get used to taste of new low carb food

Don’t try to replace bread and your favorite carbohydrate rich foods. Think about texture when planning your meals. If you’re eating something soft like tuna salad, pair it with something crunchy like cucumber slices, moon cheese, or almonds. GET MORE FIBRE, if you've got weird or irregular poops, add more fiber to your diet. Still fiber does not count in net crabs as it’s not digestible and does not enter the blood as glucose. It just passes through digestive system adding volume to your poop and making bowel movement easier and more sustainable even on a high fat.

Drink all the water: electrolytes are essential for keto style!

Don't forget the electrolytes, but chill with the diet sodas. Get water into your body, you'll feel less snacky through the day. Remember that you still have to keep your calories down in order to lose weight. I curb mindless snacking by doing 16:8 IF. Don’t try to replace bread and your favorite carbohydrate rich foods. Cauliflower rice is the one exception, it's a great substitute for actual rice. Keto "breads" are not all they're cracked up to be, and won't scratch that bread itch. Maybe you'll love keto friendly "breads". Everyone's taste is different.

Find out what makes your body feel best

Don't beat yourself up if you eat too many carbs on accident, or if you slip up. In the first few weeks, don’t worry as much about being frugal. If you like butter in your coffee, or you want to eat spam every day, or if you like eating tons of veggies and sometimes it pushes you over 20g carbs, it's about what works best for you, not what works best for other people in this sub. Don't beat yourself up if you eat too many carbs on accident, or if you slip up. In the first few weeks, don’t worry as much about being frugal. If eating steak is what it takes to make you feel less deprived and more resolute to stay the course, do it. You are forming new eating habits, and the key to making habits stick is make them as enticing as possible up front. Accept that you will fail at some point. Anticipate cheating, with the resolution that a cheat meal should not lead to a whole cheat day, because that could lead to falling off the wagon long term.

Hunger is just a feeling, and it's not that bad a feeling

Hunger no longer is a scary feeling that I must avoid at all costs. I actually feel great when hungry on keto knowing that you’re burning fat at that moment. On keto I actually start to like the feeling of having an empty stomach. I drink coffee in the morning, which probably also helps, but I also drink it with a half-cup of heavy cream, and no matter what, that really helps keeps hunger at bay. When you’re hungry, you should always drink a glass of water and wait a short period. The signals your brain sends for hunger and thirst are close to each other and occasionally get crossed, so you will sometimes feel hungry when you’re actually thirsty. I think this has something to do with blood sugar and/or the addictive nature of carbohydrates.

Emotions: how we fear hunger

it's been hardwired how we fear hunger into us that we need to meet a three-meal-a-day standard when in actuality three legit meals a day, puts most of us far in to a caloric surplus. I get a low blood sugar hunger around 10 am every morning, and I challenge myself to let it pass, which only takes 5 minutes, without consuming anything. The body has ways of regulating blood sugar in the absence of caloric intake. Being hungry is a normal feeling that doesn't need to be instantly remedied and most of the time you're just thirsty. It's low blood sugar vs true hunger on keto.

Make sure you are eating enough overall

Your hunger not being regulated can mean it’s very suppressed which is common in the beginning, this might mean you are under-eating. Lots of people find that simply can’t eat enough in first couple months because their hunger is so suppressed. When I was eating a lot of carbs, hunger felt like something that had to be taken care of right now. It felt like if I didn't take care of it with a snack instantly, it was the end of the world.

Hunger on Keto doesn't feel so desperate.

It's like I'm being made aware, but it's more like my body is telling me that it's something I need to take care of it when I could. High-carb diets where you're filling up on mostly carbs and vegetable oil, you end up really hungry even after eating and so you have to eat until you're practically sick just to feel some kind of satiety. Then, it gets even worse when you start thinking of food as a scarce resource -- you know you're going to be horribly hungry in a few hours so you make sure not to skip any meals and you try to get as much food as possible in during your meals. The whole thing is a big miserable cycle that makes your life revolve around food. if you aren’t hungry then just let it be. But under-eating is not something you want to keep up long term so just keep an eye on things. Read the full article

How i broke my plateau and lost 7kg in a month

Hi, by now you should know I am that girl who lost 62kg and standing tall at 1.81m. But today, I am going to share with you how I broke my plateau, lost the 7kg and reached my goal weight at 78kg. All this was possible with the help of the ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting. It’s really not as hard as you think.

What is a Ketogenic Diet?

It’s basically a high fat, low carbohydrate diet whereby you consume only about 20g – 50g of carbs a day. It uses fat to burn fats. Sounds like heaven i know. You may read more about it here - https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/keto

Google it, tons of information available on the web.

What is intermittent fasting?

Intermittent fasting is eating within a time frame and fasting for the rest of the day. For me, my window opens at 12pm and closes at 8pm. You may read more about it here - http://jamesclear.com/the-beginners-guide-to-intermittent-fasting

Why Ketogenic Diet and intermittent fasting?

I first heard of this diet online and how intimidating it can be. I put it off for as long as I can remember, until my friend tried it and lost weight within 2 weeks without exercise. I decided to take the plunge after trips to KL, Cebu and Taiwan in March, which left me at a weight of 86kg. Yes, binging on lots food/potato chips has a price.

“Nothing worth having comes easy right? Bring it on KETO!”

I decided on this after extensive research and tried it out for a month. My weight has pretty much fluctuated within the range of 83-85kg since January this year and it can be quite frustrating. The day I started the diet I weighed in at 85kg. After a month, I weighed in at 78kg. YAY!

How did I do it?

For the first 2 weeks I did daily meal preps with my sisters. It was unsustainable to say the least. Usually, you psych yourself up during the first 2 weeks of starting a diet so much that you don’t mind trying anything just to achieve your goals. But towards the end of the two weeks, I found myself throwing away leftovers of unfinished meal preps, because eating the same food every day eventually takes its toll.

From the third week, I decided to do some research on Keto-approved foods that required minimal preparation effort.

Meals that I usually have on a keto diet:

Indonesian Grill ($6-$8) – I like going to the one at Plaza Singapura’s food court. I’ll just replace the rice with veggies. A tasty and fulfilling meal.

Subway’s Salad ($10-$14) – Typically with avocado, teriyaki chicken, egg mayo and ranch sauce. Tasty and can add up to around 600 calories. The cost depends on the kind of ingredients you put in. Essentially, it’s paying for the convenience instead of having to make the salad yourself.

Cold storage salad ($5.99) – Baby spinach base with eggs, 2x broccoli, cheese, honey ham with Caesar sauce.

Hard Rock cafe - Smokehouse salad (i had it when i was in KL, it was the best oh my god)

Roasted pork belly ($5 onwards) – now this is my favorite. I regularly visit this store at one of the hawker centers at Bugis.

Western food ($5 onwards) - Chicken chop, salmon steak. I replace the fries and coleslaw with broccoli, veggies or eggs, whichever they can offer me.

Economic Rice stores ($3 onwards) – Just choose any 3-4 ingredients without rice.

Fish soup ($4 onwards) – add fish, egg, or whatever you feel like. (this is one of the best i have eaten, from whampoa food centre)

Salmon sashimi ($3 onwards) - Awesome promo at standing sushi bar

Though I don’t do meal prep anyone, I still make my own food sometimes (http://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-make-cauliflower-rice-couscous-cooking-lessons-from-the-kitchn-203344)

I will make cauliflower fried rice with laksa sauce which you can easily find in NTUC. And grilled chicken thigh meat to go along with it.

Chicken Thigh with grilled broccoli

Cheese omelet with bacon

I get spinach from NTUC to make my own salad. Egg mayo, bacon, sliced avocado and Caesar sauce. YUM!

Fried egg with bacon- add cheese if you like to on anything. Just make sure your cheese is not processed.

Snacks I usually have:

Macadamia, cashew nuts

Cream cheese

Full cream milk

I cooked all my food with olive oil.

Tips while on Ketogenic Diet:

- Drink lots of water

- Have food that are high in sodium.

- Apple cider vinegar with lemon (disgusting I know but the benefits are endless)

- Take care of your skin if you are going to lose weight this fast you got to be hardworking for your skin too. Scrubs and lotions girls!

That’s about it, I pretty much lived on these foods for a month and have since lost 7kg. After being off the diet, and countless of cheat days, my weight has stabilized at 79kg.

Speaking of cheat days, I didn’t have any while I was on this diet. Not because I was torturing myself, but because I didn’t have any cravings. You may have a cheat day every week if you want, however it will kick you out of ketosis and you will need to start over the next day. I recommend a cheat day once every two weeks, also known as refuel days. You can have carbs on those days, but try to limit it as best you can.

What to avoid while on a Ketogenic Diet?

- Anything that contains sugar, whether artificial or not

- Fruits and vegetables that are high in sugar content. The only exceptions are raspberry and blueberry

- Rice, brown rice, noodles, quinoa anything that are high are carbs

You may refer to the image below for foods that are not Keto-approved.

(Credits: https://ketodietapp.com/Blog/post/2015/01/03/Keto-Diet-Food-List-What-to-Eat-and-Avoid)

It’s just 28 days. Not that hard right?

How was my experience overall?

First thought, it freaking works!

I was previously on a low carb diet before, but I didn’t realize that the amount of fruits I was having was way too much sugar going into my body. I’ll be honest with you, it wasn’t easy for me to give up fruits. After the first three days, my sister’s weight started dropping but mine didn’t. I was a little demoralized. A week later after keto flu, I have lost 2kg. I exercise regularly but my sisters didn’t. Their weight dropped anyway. Afterwards, I don’t feel hungry anymore. Maybe it was because of the high amount of fat intake that kept me full.

If you want to be successful doing keto diet, you have to get through the first seven days.

For me the real challenge came when I ate my first pack of chips after I reached my goal weight. I couldn’t stop! Carbs makes me crave for more carbs. Now, self-control is very important. I cleaned up my diet after a few days of binging and things got back to normal.

Was it sustainable?

For a month or two yes, after that you got to watch your food intake after you are off it. After all if you have an ice cream a day with 2500 calorie intake the weight is bound to come back. No diet like this is sustainable in the long run. Ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting is a lifestyle change and once you have gone through it, it will teach you things that you didn’t know about your body. From then on you can change to paleo diet or alternatively eat in moderation like i do now.

After thoughts

After having gone through many different kind of diets, the only effective diet is the one that you can sustain and stick to. Eat in moderation and be mindful of your macros and you are good to go.

The Ketogenic diet is good for those who wants to get slim within a short period of time. it’s amazing because you don’t need to be on any pills or meal replacement.

I will experiment is soon again to see if I can reach 75kg. I’ll update you guys!

PS: before you start any diet please please understand your body and do not go overboard with cutting calories, it will do more harm then good. stick to 1500 calories a day and within a month i am sure you will see results.

You didn’t gain the weight overnight, don’t expect to lose it over night. Give it time, be patient.

Till then!

xoxo,

Chloe
