If you’re new, trial and error. Know that you need more movement and track your foods, log EVERYTHING!! You don’t realize the amount of calories you’re actually eating. Try what others are doing but stick to what works for you!! IDC what WOE(way of eating) it is. I was on a roll even when weight slowed down and guess what???? Plateaus are a real thing and the slower the weight loss the better. I dropped at one point 54 pounds finding what works for MY BODY. What works for MY BODY is LCHF, Mediterranean, eating 2-3 dinners a week like pizza( but I could never eat more than 2 slices and that’s just me), casserole night. A week or more Keto, mostly LCHF. No, I don’t pee on strips and there is nothing wrong if you do. I will NEVER shame your WOE. If you ask for help, I am here. I purposely the last 2 weeks was over the drama of CICO., LCHF, KETO.....all of it. Yes , CICO works if you can do calories in and calories out. CICO is not just counting calories. Counting calories is just counting calories. Flexible eating, it works, for some... Calorie deficit weekly, eat what you want.... ok but what if you don’t go to the gym? What if you’re insulin resistant? What if you’re type II diabetic, what if you’re Type 1??? Move as much to your ability and more, if you’re not disabled. Push yourself!! What if you have a heavy history of both? What if .... what if I found my personal WOE after feeling overwhelmed when I first got here, because people were arguing then too , and found what worked for me within 2 months?? ❤️❤️❤️🤷🏻♀️ So, the past 2 weeks, I tried flexible eating, and it wasn’t all bad choices. I did allow cake for breakfast one day at work, when I hardly eat it at my kids birthday parties since joining. Sensible lunch, didn’t know what the heck I wanted for dinner, but knew I didn’t want to be starving late at night. Work had an ice cream social. ( once a year thing) it was a Carmel kind of day, at least for breakfast ( which I did fast) lunch not high calorie, and salted caramel ice cream before 6 pm and omg.... it fit in my weekly deficit!! I also increased sandwich uptake for lunch on freaking 45 calorie a slice bread. If I eat it I log it🙌 look for advice, try different things. I guarantee you that the negativity on here regarding WOE doesn’t apply to YOUR BODY or YOUR Chemical makeup, and thermodynamics ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL. It’s not the first time I have said this. I ate how I ate for 2 weeks and look at my gain and I did IF per my usual, most days of the week. I don’t withhold logging. As of Monday night at dinner, I’m back to doing me. Flex eating and a weekly deficit, look at my weight, by just simply eating whatever as long as I was in a weekly deficit!! . I promised to be more transparent.... well, here you go. Try everything, but don’t regain massive amounts of weight doing it. You will find what works for you. If people want to keep arguing let them. I’m barely 9 months here and I had my Woe after 2 months. IDC if I get ripped apart for this✌️ I’m not pushing a certain WOE on anyone. Different strokes for different folks. I hit a low and now I’m paying for it. Any WOE that works for you and is sustainable, and you’re happy and losing weight and supporting others and offering advice when asked and moving to the best of your ability and if not disabled, push harder, if you’re not doing drugs or vomiting food on purpose or abstaining from eating you can do this. Listen to advice, know YOUR BODY and come to a method that suits you. What’s pathetic is, the argument will go on. Be kind to yourself and your body. Be kind to others. It doesn’t really feel good to be mean or a right sided fighter, and no one here who continues to push a WOE, on any side has come forward as being a physician or human biologist. Btw, me doing what I did the past 2 weeks, results will differ and many will correlate and many will not. I won’t do this again to myself. Mentioning again, that my doing this was based off of the ridiculous arguments. I’m a lover of science, already know our chemical makeup differs, knew what works for me but hey, lets go all in. Got tired of the arguing. Put it to the test for my own self. Either step up with a pertinent degree in human biology.....all sides, or fall back and do you. Now off to Onederland and doing me, it’s my journey 1st because I deserve better health, and my family needs me. It should be all of our journeys for health and wellness and support others. Can’t “ weight” to log in at the end of the month. ❤️💕💪❤️❤️ yourself. Eat accordingly to what works for you..... 🍎🍏🍐🍉🍊🍋🍓🍑🍅🥝🍒🍓🥑🥑🥦🌶🌽🥒🥬🥕🌽🌽🌽🌽🌶🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🍠🥐🥔🥯🍞🧀🥨🥖🦴🥩🥚🧀🍔🥩🌭🦴🥪🥘🥫🥙🌮🍔🌮🌮🍟🍗🍕🍖🍳🍳🍳🍳🍳🥗🌯🍜🍝🥫🍣🍣🍙🥮🍡🍘🍱🥟🍥🍧🍤🥠🍨🎂🍰🧁🥧🍦🍨🍧🥠🍥🍡🥧🍩🍪🥜🍿🍫🍬🥛🥛☕️🍵🍷🥂🍻🍺🥃🍸🍹🍾🥄🥡🥣. I am carb sensitive, I also know I need to move my ass. I don’t believe in restricting as I never felt like I was dieting anyways because I had a happy and working WOE. Don’t judge someone eating cakes and donuts like 5 in a row as they bust ass in the gym and carbs don’t affect them, and don’t judge bacon and eggs and butter as it’s not the only food LCHF and Keto do. Balance is key and understanding your body is key, the food pyramid is important. It doesn’t mean our flat bottom and the pinnacle top is equal. ☮️❤️ respect and best wishes❤️

Now multiply that by 4 which is how many grams of water you store with every gram of carb and you see why your weight will fluctuate greatly when you switch to a carb filled diet after being keto. That's approximately 5 pounds of water. Now if you need to burn 3500 calories more than you eat for each pound, a higher carb diet can make people believe they gained a lot of fat and it will take a month or more to get back to baseline. They get frustrated and go back to keto or LC and woosh, a large loss on the scale. It isn't fat, just water. For me, it would be a bad loss too because glycogen is superior for energy.

I see. So a better measure is change in BF%?

I guess, yeah, your bodyfat percentage will be lower if your glycogen stores are full since glycogen is lean mass.

D, thanks for this reminder/info. i need to quit crying about my scale and just work/wait it out.

Hey, that's why I think that lifting is so awesome, it gives me something else to focus on than solely the scale. Do I look leaner, am I stronger, and are my measurements improving? If the only thing I had to measure progress was the scale, I may lose my mind or push the deficit and lose muscle.

Nice post JC - I appreciate your moderation. It should be obvious that we are each going to follow the WOE that works best for our bodies and our goals. Experimentation allows us to discover improvements. As our bodies change, we need to tweek the program. Nobody needs other people preaching at them that they're doing it wrong; that's counterproductive. Support for our evolving strategies is what we can do for each other. And let's keep is friendly! Thanks for your presence here JC!

I was going to say the same thing... Low carb to flexible without giving it time is going to show a false increase in weight gain but I don't want to present it like I care because everything turns into an argument...sadly. So eat what you want and be happy and hopefully meet your goals. 🤞🏼

I missed the part of post associating the weight gain with flexible dieting...I think it is commendable that you are trying a little of everything to see what works for you! Scale fluctuations are the bane of my existence. With any change, I like to give it time and usually measure week over week and look at trend line direction overall. Get some rest and take it easy luv!

Well said, that is what this community should be about, sharing ideas and experiences to help each other reach our goals. Not judgement and ridicule.

The RIDICULE is RIDICULous. lol. People need to learn that not everything has an answer and it's okay to move on with your life with somethings not very concrete.

And sometimes folks just lack general emotional reading - it is okay to recognize others for the merit of their opinion and still disagree. Also okay to allow others to process and draw conclusions on their own. Let other's deliberate, analyze, decide.

I think a key point in this is that trying to ascertain progress or lack thereof on a daily basis is ineffective and misleading, it's too granular to get a true reading of what's going on. If you had a piece of cake and gained 5 pounds overnight, which has happened to me, it is not because the cake brings with it the mass of a black hole. There are other factors at play. In the end patience pays off, being reactionary is counterproductive and can actually make matters worse if the misinterpretation leads to further bad choices. Have a plan, stick to it and analyze over the course of weeks, not days, and certainly not day to day. Taking daily measurements is fine, that's what I do, but you have to detach yourself from the analysis part. If you can't do that then I wouldn't even measure daily even though in the end that will give you more accurate data to base your decisions on.

I didn’t say blames it in just a piece of cake. I said I ate off oh my woe for 2 weeks. I’m saying I am carb sensitive. And that’s that.

I knew the glycogen argument would come up; carbsplaining. 😂

Phil...is that ridicule..tisk, tisk, tisk...lol...The argument makes sense to me if you decide to make a change and see what happens. Just like the whole keto flu thing and not seeing results until 28 days+ in. If someone is doing trial and error, perhaps they should know other POVs on why something may occur. No? Nothing wrong with sharing information. If person finds it useful, so be it. If they think it doesn't apply, they move on and do what they feel they need to do.

Phil doesn't like science. Yeah Phil, glycogen is water weight. It explains day to day fluctuation, sodium intake does as well.
