Re: Weight gain / Maintaining the weight

[Guest guest]

Cut back on the carbs- apples, carrots, and the squash are high carb. Baked

products for me are instant weight gain. Once I added veggies, instead of fruit,

my weight stayed more stable. I never tolerated many carbs. I do use honey

occasionally, but not if I eat fruit.

Pureed zucchini is a good low carb substitute for fruit at meals.

I am the opposite. I work hard to maintain it and I had it where I would like to

already. I try to stay away from almond cookies though they are very good and I

don't think that I am overdoing in what I eat, yet I gained like a pound since

yesterday and that is completely freaking me out... Here is what I eat:

I noticed that the more DCCC I ate, the more weight I picked up.  I mainly made the SCD Cheesecake from BTVC and gained at least a pound a day but it was so good.  Now I only make the cheesecake on special occasins.

Well, I am trying to cut some carbs today and DCCC. I feel so hungry though.

Being still on stage 1 there are not that many choices...

I really enjoyed DCCC with yougurt with some honey...

I guess I will have to stay await from it for some time.

I wonder what do you eat in order not to gain? I mean if you need to stay away

from carbs like veggies and fruit... and DCCC. I make yogurt from whole milk, so

it's not non-fat either... not that I want it to be.

I used to live on salad and meat (cave man diet) and I was really successful at

losing and maintaining the weight. Now I don't want to gain at all, I could

actually lose a few more pounds...

I can't see at this time going back to spinach because it might have contributed

to my colon issues in a first place...

I am at a loss...

Thanks!

egg white omelettes with different stuff in them ?? i guess a lot of low carb

veggies is the answer (that we both don't want to hear ) lol - i'm tiny but i

to do more nut butter stuff and pumpkin pie but no good with yeast - need some

easy to make quick to grab anti-candida substitutes myself

I am just really not sure what veggies I would\can eat.

I mean for stage 1 it's squash. It's high in sugar. So are carrots. I like them

in the soup, but I would not eat them by themselves. Artichokes i don't like...

Aspargus you can't eat much, at least I can't... I just want some food that I

can eat without guilt... and I can't do fresh salad yet right?

Thanks for all your help!!!

zuc noodles with the tomato sauce (not much i believe it feeds yeast?)?? i know

it's stage 2 but i think if you can handle it it could make zuc, burgers,

chicken etc more exciting? - what about penzey's garlic and onion powders to

liven up chicken, noodles etc - chicken's a good to grab for me - what about

the egg /squash bread??? i'm just doing zuc right now i will attempt pureed

spinach and swiss chard again soon - just healing from a mistake 5 weeks ago :-(

i'll post now for some ideas to replace dccc treat

entire one each day like me! (with pecan butter on top sometimes too! ) can you

say pig??!!! thank God i'm tiny (but yet hypothyroid - weird) - but happy!!!!

For veggies, how about spinach (stage 1), zucchini (stage 1), and green beans

(used to be stage one, but is now 2). Also, don't feel chained to the stages.

Try some stage 3 veggies, one at a time, to see if they agree. You might be

surprised! There are people who tolerate broccoli and cauliflower before they do

carrots and squash. I was very surprised that I was fine with peas (with the

skins), yet not with pureed carrots.

For a no guilt treat, how about jello with a low carb juice? I make some with

pomegranate juice. 1 cup water + 1 cup juice + 2 tbsp. gelatin = 20 grams of

carbs. That's a big bowl of jello too! Add more gelatin to make it thicker if

you want.

Some people gain weight with fats, some people gain weight with carbs, and some

are unlucky and gain with both fat and carbs. Someone posted an article awhile

back that said they will soon be able to tailor diets for people based on which

of these 3 types their bodies are. I, for one, have found I gain weight with

fat, not carbs. Cheese always makes me gain!

I gain easier with extra fats, too. And for me, calories DO count as

well. No matter what " they " say. Sigh.

carbs, and some are unlucky and gain with both fat and carbs. Someone
