[quote=Anonymous]This is OP. I haven't checked in for a while and I apologize.

I had a significant health scare about a month ago (I'm ok, though, thank goodness, all much ado about nothing for now) that took up basically all of the time and attention not given to work and my toddler.

I'm a couple of weeks away from my taper down on the phen. I've lost 21 lbs in 10 weeks. I'm going to fall short of my 30 lb goal, but even I knew that was overly ambitious.

I've tried my best to follow Dr. Anchors. I still need a small snack at 4 pm, though. I could NOT hack it on keto.

What I typically eat in a day now:

Breakfast: Egg white/veggie omelet with fresh pico and 1/4 avocado (I sub in a real egg or a bit more avocado if I'm super hungry) and two slices of turkey bacon. If I'm in a rush, I get the spinach feta wrap at Starbucks and don't eat the wrap part. I drink a metric ton of green iced tea.

Lunch: Salad with some form of protein (I admit to using whatever comes to hand, including turkey pepperoni, rotisserie chicken, and skinless leftover turkey leg), fruit, and string cheese. I make my own salad dressing now to avoid the sugar. Also my own tomato sauce.

Dinner: A reasonable portion of whatever I made (split in half so I can have seconds). I do zoodles for myself if we're having pasta, cauliflower rice for rice, but I shrug at the corn and beans and just eat them. Too much effort to pick them out of a slow cooker dish.

Snack: I try to keep it to something like milk and berries, or veggies and hummus. But I'll admit to the occasional outshine bar. I drink tea at night. I only eat hummus and guacamole in single serving packets.

One day a week, it's more relaxed. I've also encouraged my husband to take our toddler for ice cream without me. I hate going along and eating nothing.

I've had a few slips this week, but overall, I seem to be in control. My weight followed a predictable pattern (there were two points in my cycle where I gained 0.4 and 1.4 lbs, respectively, every month). I need more water and more exercise, though.

Unexpected benefit: despite a higher fat diet, my cholesterol is down 30 points and my blood pressure is totally normal even on the phen.
