Whine much? This thread isn't about you...

You are suggesting that a 30 pound drop in weight in a week is healthy or explainable by diet alone?

***

This is why no one should take medical/health advice from an anonymous forum.

I didn't say it was healthy. Can you read? Or just not comprehend what you do read? Your speculation isn't helping.

Lolz... I read fine. You are making this thread about you and giving nutritional advice (where medical advice may be needed) on an anonymous forum and whine when you are not taken as seriously as you believe you should be. Get over yourself.

ETA: Last word is yours, I've said all I intend to. The ball is now in the OP's court...

Still waiting for you to offer something to the thread......

Thats a good question. Many times awhile back, (Many times!) Years back, I would try "diets" and I would get so incredibly vorasciously hungry, I'd binge finally, and everything was all back to normal, in frumpy loserdumb.
But this time.......It's different. My appetite for food and fluids really isn't much there. Seems this appeared, after I had spent quite some time in daily self loathing, which was much more constant and intense than has ever been. I kept saying to myself, I'm done with this I'm done I'm done,
Like I suddenly was --finally-- done with my Comfort Zone. I wonder if a psychological state can nix a physical appetite?

It's not about me. I don't want the OP getting confused, which I'm sure he is, by all the poor advice and rampant speculation in this thread. If you actually want to offer some nutritional advice, go ahead. Getting mad at me, because I don't want the OP to get scared due to the uninformed opinions running rampant through this thread doesn't help. You also apparently didn't read what I had typed, or didn't understand it. If you did, you'd know it wasn't just opinion, and you'd know most of the opinions in this thread are entirely misleading. I read all your posts in this thread, none of which offer any help. If you want to debate nutrition, lets go. I'd love to. If you'd rather complain about me, instead of offering advice which actually helps the OP, well, then I see where your priorities are.

Also funny how you whine, about me whining. We can all be hypocrites, can't we?

Hey ATSers, about a week ago, I got sick and tired of looking frumpy. I am over 50. I decided to ABOLISH all GRAIN. I was only eating fruits and vegetables. For real. After a few days, I ate like a deprivation dieter, because after all grains were out of my system, I lost my appetite to pig out. This evening, I found out that I am MINUS 30 pounds. I'm not kidding you, I am not exaggerating, I am not lying to you.
I have NOT been constantly pooping and peeing, but my number two has been big and fluffy. Is all.
HOWEVER. All day today, I have been feeling week and dizzy, like a dying person who drank beer. I also have a headache, and have been feeling cold, then hot.
So I ran to the store and bought some fresh though lean, meat. Beaf, turkey, and chicken. I got them home and made myself try and pig out on them, but I still feel the same.

Is there a Conspiracy going on here? Did the PTB make all the grains to put us as obese sheeple, and also addictive? I do not crave grain right now, but I SUSPECT if I were to eat a slice of bread and a bowl of cereal, this weirdness would stop.

Please let me know what you all think, I'm not in the mood for cuteness, as I don't feel well. THANKS, and as Dutchsinse always says, "Much Love".



I eat about 20 carbs a day, and have lost 160lbs since January. Losing 30 lbs int he first week of a low carb diet is not unthinkable. I did something similar.

What you are mostly losing is water weight. Just like salt, sugar requires water to pass through the body. When your body is full of sugars (which is what grains are, as is any carb) it is full of extra water. Water follows salt and sugar, always.

I would suspect you are also cutting down on salt, as a by product of cutting out grains (typically an ingredient in preservatives used in grain foods, like mac n cheese).

You also can have overall decreased appetite as you go through this low carb induction phase, leading to lower overall caloric intake as well as less weight in your bowels.

Get scientific. Learn how your body works. Then pick the diet that you think works for you. Don't just haphazardly remove elements (although grains are a good removal, honestly). If you want more information on how I have lost 17" of waist this year:

and one of the best recipes I have: (especially the cheese sauce part)

Weight loss isn't rocket science. It just takes understanding how the body processes foods, what your units of energy in foods are, and how you can manipulate them to satisfy your hunger while reducing overall energy unit storage (body fat).

Haudi Simone

I have just private messaged you with my email for some proper weight loss and diet and anatomy info, as in what happens to the pancreas when you come off highly processed foods etc. I also have the formula for healthy weightloss as in grams of Carbs and protein per kilo of person for safe weight loss. Very quick weight loss causes kidney stones, something to be aware of. To keep ypour metabolism up you need to start eating 3 to 5 meals a day but the formula for the meals is a bit complex so I will wait for you to email me.

I look forward to your email.

Have the best day

Thank you SO very much for this. There was some expression of skepticism here in the thread, which I totally understand.
I made two post already, about my wondering about my scale. People said maybe it was broke, and I wondered that too. I did some experiments which I have told about. So, a few minutes ago, I just did another experiment. I stood up on my tippeetoes like a balerina, which I could not do before. Then, I even did it with -one- foot/leg, which I could not do before. This means I am significantly lighter than I was, and I can feel it anyway.

I just hate --sounding-- like I'm exaggerating. I needed someone to say, this is not unheard of.

EDIT TO ADD: Some have been saying "He" but I am female. It's no biggie, I do that too, when I don't know what someone's gender is here, so it's like a default go-to gender.

Your body still needs carbs in a different form, so take in the beans and raw, organic grains. Maybe try Quinoa, wild rice, or even a baked potato or baked sweet potato. You don't have to eat processed grains AT ALL, so ignore everyone telling you that you must. Processed grains have no nutritional value when compared to the negative effects they have on our bodies. Your body DOES require carbs though, and also good fats. Avocados and natural, unprocessed oils such as sunflower, olive, flax and coconut oils provide good sources of good fats. Raw nuts as well...especially almonds. It sounds like you did good, but what you're eating isn't quite balanced.

I'd definitely get a good multivitamin, and a B complex to take, just in case you're missing something really important. Balance it out a bit and see if it improves your symptoms!
