What? I did have carbs today, lots of carbs in meal 2... and some carbs in my last meal.. that's not enough?

sara

What you want me to do? have carbs tomorrow? I will have carbs tomorrow if you want me to..
2 days ago when I didn't have carbs, I felt that I lost some water, and felt great, that was only one no carb day!

Jenny

Sara, I'm sorry you're going through a hard time I think you need a balanced plan with enough carbs to go around, maybe a 40/40/20 plan Please don't starve yourself

PM me if you want to talk honey

Sara just take my suggestions on the excess water weight. drop those items that I suggested and I promise that you will notice a difference. and begin to eat a more balanced diet...

What items I should drop from my meals?

atherjen

are you going no carb still Sara???

I posted in your thread in the dieting section about dropping the articfical sweetners(so many of them) and the low carb food items. also cutting back on dairy and drink way more water. that should help drop the water.
you really need to focus on getting your metabolism back up and eating more healthy and balanced meals on a daily basis.

Thanx MonStar! I just need to maintain the same diet for two weeks, with two carb-up days a week..

But I'm not happy with my last meal tonight! too close from the earlier meal, and had pistachios I'm trying to restrict myself from peanuts, pistachios and tahini butter...Almonds is ok

sara

ok, seriously no more nuts!

Stacey

LoL--nuts get me every time tooo girl!!

Jodi

Sara you obviously don't see the pattern. You keep eating too much nuts or binging because your not eating enough.

WHY OH WHY CAN'T I LET MYSELF JUST STAY OUT OF THIS THREAD!!!!!!

I see it too Sara. You restrict your body too much, then you hit the nuts...Then you decide to restrict your cabs and calories to make up for the nuts which only sets you up for the next binge/restrict cycle.

I tend to be very all or nothing myself so I understand and I'm not trying to give you a hard time... but I truly think there's cause for worry here.

Can you reconsider the suggestion I made where you keep your carb intake uniform (and reasonable) for now to see if it helps you avoid the restrict/binge pattern you seem to have going?

If you want to achieve things that others can't...

You have to do things that others won't.

sara

guys I weight 120 now!!!!!!!!! and my jeans don't fit anymore
that's why I'm trying to restrict my carbs... How many grams of carbs would you consider me to have, and fat?

If you continue to restrict yourself in punishment (for too many nuts or whatever) then your body is going to be screwed up big time. Please listen to these guys

sara...your preplanned food has basically no carbs and no fat.

if you posted it correctly your total calories are just over 600 for the day. you should be eating more than TWICE that! this is very bad for you in every possible way.

If you want to achieve things that others can't...

You have to do things that others won't.

Jenny

I agree with the others, Sara, this isn't going to benefit you at all. You really need to start eating more, this will make your metabolism sloooooow down and eat your muscle up util there's nothing left..

We're worried about you
