[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi 8:01! You're responding to me. I do eat a lot of unprocessed foods, but not all. My typical day is eggs and vegetables for breakfast, unsweetened coffee with almond milk (don't tolerate dairy well) and a piece of fruit. My lunch is salads with proteins and whole grains like quinoa. Another piece of fruit. I count out 25 almonds for a snack. Dinner sometimes includes more processed foods depending on how busy the week is, like a Trader Joe's frozen meal, but I try to stick to Whole Foods as well. I like dark chocolate for treats. I can't eat tiny portions because I get shaky and dizzy when hungry and I don't eat until stuffed but I do eat to be full, I can't be slightly hungry all day like people suggest. But so much of my diet includes plants.

I'll look into your link--I'm halfway there anyway. Thanks! [/quote]

Sounds like you are well on the right track. Check the processed stuff that is in your diet, some is less awful but the food industry has devised over 50 different monikers for sugar so you have to be careful to catch and purge all the added sugars. Sugar is not just empty calories, it is poison that causes metabolic disorders, heart disease, cancer etc. Purge every bit that you can from your diet.

If you are still struggling to shift weight, there is likely something wrong in the endocrine system and in mid life (30s-50s) that is likely to be either elevated cortisol from stress or sleep deprivation, or estrogen levels as you slide into perimenopause. These are not things that come under the typical annual testing so especially where you aren’t morbidly obese your GP might take no action but you can ask for a referral to an endocrinologist and/or sleep physician to sort the issue.

One thing that many folks who post here don’t grasp is that you don’t have to be fat to be unhealthy, and I’m not talking just cancer or heart disease but metabolic disorder. There are plenty of people with type 2 diabetes who aren’t obese, and there are plenty of obese people who are actually metabolically healthy. A person can be slender and still have nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, something that barely existed 50 years ago and is now widespread in kids and adults alike.
