I hope all of you are having a great day! I just was feeling encouraged today as I have officially lost 30 pounds since August, 10 of which have been just this last month. I don't have many people in my life to share this accomplishment with, so I figured I would post here....
Oh yeah, liquid calories are absolutely a killer. Even stuff like orange juice or fruit juice in general has insane amounts of calories.
I haven't done anything fancy really, just focusing on being aware of how many calories I consume. Not necessarily counting them, but having a general idea. This past month I've only been eating different variations of chicken, vegetables, rice, and beans.
Just cutting out empty carbs and replacing with higher protein/fat foods will naturally fill you up more with fewer calories.
Also, if you know you've hit your calorie limit for the day and are still dying of hunger, drink a large glass of water. Just chug it and that shaking stomach feeling of being hungry goes away for a while, at least in my experience.
What does a non-surgery track look like if you don't mind me asking? Is it just a medically managed meal plan or are there weight loss supplements/drugs they prescribe you?
Thank you for such a detailed response! Have you noticed any side effects taking medication for weight loss? That's been the main reason I haven't really looked into it
