Re: Carnivores diet
As you guys seem pretty clued up on diet etc I was wondering if you had any advice about the best way to approach this. I've been doing brisk walking for about a year now, round town and climbing the steepest streets. I've lost weight and become fitter or at least it feels that way. However on weighing myself the other day I'm 21st bang on. This totally demoralised me and clearly I've been putting too much faith in the walking while not tackling my food intake. That said I think I'm about 3st lighter than this time last year but still obese. I'm 6ft 3" but have a BMI of about 35 I think.
I'm on mirtazapine which does make me crave carbs, often in the early hours where I will shovel in anything going. This after eating relatively well during the day. Since finding out how much I weigh still, I've managed to resist the mirtazapine effect. It's been tough but I have to do something otherwise I'll end up another statistic. I'm 54 now and if I don't get my weight down now I never will. I've been counting calories, yesterday added up to 1541, today 600 so far. It's shocking to read the calorific content of some things. Just one blueberry muffin has 292!!
