I find it so very, very hard to ignore what mainstream specialists say.
Even if my own experiences tell me that for my body (I'm not making
claims about anyone else, just me) cannot lose any weight on any carbs
over 100 I still try it because the nutritionist pushed so hard and
because other groups I'm in to help me with weightloss also push carbs
(I get free Weight Watchers through my job benefits, and WW always
stresses no food should be off limits).
And of course I gained even on 130 carbs, and it's my own fault because I
wanted to believe that it was unhealhty not to eat bread and I love to
eat bread, it tastes sooo good... But it doesn't work. I have to be at
keto levels to really lose and at 100 g, no higher, to stay equal. But
the fact that it makes certain foods off limits for me makes me feel
deprived and I binge as a result. I don't know how to fix this catch-22.
Though something that kept making me think is that if normal
macronutrient percentages are 5o percent carbs, 20 percent protein, 30
percent fat, then why is making hte division a bit different immediately
bad? I'm not trying to eat 0 percent of carbs, I' eating 20 if I do 100
grams a day, 10 if I do Keto. So that is moderation, isn't it? but
instead of 'severe moderation' on fat I do 'severe moderation' on carbs.
Why is that not moderation if the numbers are similar but just turned
around? (the percentages I gravitate towards are 50 percent fat, 30
protein, 20 carbs).
Why can't I just make it work :( Why do I keep craving foods that I know
are bad for me. Why do I dream of donuts. It's a puzzle I haven't
worked out yet :(
