Guest guest Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Hi does anyone know of a good site that is low carb but still TF? I am reading Taubes Good/Bad Calories and need to see a low carb diet in play to reverse metabolic syndrome, or can you? I have been eating a pretty strict WAP diet for yrs now and can't really lose weight. I don't usually eat enough to be able to maintain weight but i still maintain or gain. I def. think it is the carb issue for me. I have thought i was eating a pretty low carb diet myself as we were hardly ever eating grains. When i did eat them i made to sure to eat a small portion. Mostly i have eaten meat and veggies. But am wondering if too many veggies, or the wrong = high carb ones are what i have been choosing. I need info that may help me get rid of extra weight. At this time in my life i can't spend a couple hrs a day at the gym, and that is what it has taken me in the past. Killing myself there doing cardio and weight training to lose anything (was not WAP,then, following low fat, low cal dietary advice w/ protein, lots of salad). We had 2 children after losing what i needed, and it is really stuck now. My diet wether i avoid all grains for weeks or not seems to make no difference and i really can't see eating meat and fat only.... i can't stand either w/o veggies. We were on GAPS for 8 months and i lost 10lbs during that time, need to lose 50. Our diet consisted of lots of bone broth soups, plain 24 hr yogurt, meat, veggies - mostly low starch ones because high starch was not allowed (no raw milk either and minimal fruit), eggs, bacon, some fruits no more than 1 a day like a sour apple, nut breads.... SCD like. I would think that after 8 months more than 10lbs would have come off if a low carb diet was what i needed.... unless i needed no carb for a while kind of like Atkins. I am possibly hypothyroid Dr. Peat said jut a little, another which was a Broda Doc said very hypo. My temps are consistently low with a small amount of antibodies indicating it could be hashis and my Frees and TSH show non optimal/low, but barely " normal " in ranges nobody in the conventional med acknowledges it period. Local Naturopath says they are normal too. Can't afford to see another. Enough of a difference though that Dr. Peat and the Broda Doc. said work on it. So this could be part of it. I was hoping to find answers in the Taubes book. Maybe someone here who has read it can help put the pieces together as his book is kind of hard to read, dry, to many studies mentioned to keep everything straight. I thought maybe a site with info bringing it together may help. to see A BLD menu etc. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
