I'm VERY familiar with Jimmy Moore, and Taubes, and Kruse, thanks. I may not know everything, but I know how to spot a shyster, and I know how to lose weight and keep it off. Eating only fat is NOT HEALTHY. You have been SNOWED if you actually believe it is. Now, I know you're going to twist my words and say that I'm saying eating fat isn't healthy, and I've said nothing of the sort. Fat is healthy. So are protein and carbs. Eating only one macronutrient is DUMB. |

Start small, with short walks and work up over time. Jumping in to an hour a day right off the bat is a recipe for disaster. Make sure that you're eating enough, as well, I see client after client dealing with chronic fatigue and 99% of the time the cause is that they are, very simply, starving. Eat enough calories to support your activity, and carbs are fine.
Also, ketosis is the dumbest thing ever. Listen to Melkor and urbanantonio, they are legit, educated and experienced with weight loss and exercise.

I'd definitely let your doctor know about the vomiting and back pain, that sounds like it could be more serious than simple poor nutrition.
People your age are notoriously able to get away with eating crap with little to no negative consequences. So, in this case, I'd err on the side of caution and work with your doctor to make sure there's not something more serious going on. |

In the last 2 months, people have told me I'm both too fat and too lean. Lots of people on both sides. It doesn't matter. I am what I am, and I'm perfectly happy with it. I'm not 'too' anything, except maybe too awesome. You're beautiful! |

Actually, there's plenty of scientific evidence that highly restrictive diets (and I consider fasting of any sort highly restrictive) can trigger eating disorders in people who are genetically predisposed. I do this thing where if I'm not going to be able to eat for several hours, I eat a lot to get me through to my next meal. I call it 'eating enough to get me through to the next meal', but maybe I should give it a fancy name and find some outlying scientific studies and make up an elaborate web of logical fallacy to support my claim that 'eating enough to get me through to the next meal' is actually a revolutionary new weight loss technique. I could make a million dollars. |

I've had almost identical results (I lost more weight though) and I didn't fast to do it, I just ate the proper amount of food and exercised regularly.Which is what you've done. It seems to me that eating the proper amount of food and exercising is the common denominator here. Not fasting. I see way too many women clients who've messed up their endocrine system and triggered disordered eating behaviors after experimenting with fasting. Not everyone has a bad experience, but it's common enough that I discourage my clients and friends from trying it. |

Eggs and/or egg whites, lentils, tempeh, and leafy greens are the best bang for your buck. |

You've lost 10 pounds in less than a month, the weight is coming off. The 20/30 pound loss is weird and I'd guess more likely scale error than reality. But 10 pounds in less than a month is excellent progress. |

I lost 80 pounds eating 2500-2800 a day, and maintain that loss (going on 4 years of maintenance now) on 2800-3500 a day. Plus I'm 40. Starving yourself is NOT the answer!

Just eat the food. If you like it, and it supports your goals and values, eat it.

I agree as well, canola oil isn't all it's cracked up to be. Should you panic and accuse your mother of trying to poison you? No. But there are better choices. |

Do less cardio, more weight training, and eat more food. :) |

You'll find yourself eating a lot of eggs and seeds. Why not just eat the foods that you enjoy and that make you feel the best? No need to buy into a label/dogma. |

I just saw in another post what your weight is, 1300 calories isn't anywhere NEAR enough. You must feel awful! You're starving! |

I don't think weight is your problem. I think negative self talk, and possibly hate, is your problem. You don't deserve to be treated the way you're treating yourself. You're worth being treated with kindness and respect.
In my experience, I never made any significant progress when I was trying to motivate myself with self-hate. Although I have to agree with the PPs, 22 pounds in 4 months is actually pretty freaking spectacular. |

| Weight Loss | Trying to ger rid of PCOS through good nutrition and exercise | Oct 17 2012 06:30 (UTC) |

I reversed obesity and PCOS and I did it by eating fewer calories than I was burning. I never restricted carbs (although I did make healthier food choices in general - less processed crap, more real whole foods). Weight is ultimately a product of energy balance. Eating 'better' carbs may help you feel better and increases your energy and activity level, but unless you achieve a calorie deficit you won't lose weight. So in the end what I'm saying is, great that you're making healthier food choices, but you also need to be aware of how MUCH you're eating.
Good luck! |

The side effects of allergy medications keep some people from using them. Natural remedies can be a great alternative, but some are more effective than others.
