So, I've been working at this weight loss journey and it's so frustrating.... with all the contradictions, but I've got to put my trust into this group. I've been reading and re-reading past posts and thanks to so many of the veterans here I've realized I need to tweek what I eat in my window and start cutting out more carbs.
Now I don't want to over-think this but I did have some questions to throw out there. First, I'm 51, 5'3" and 174 lbs(started at 186) I've been Fast-5ing for a month but just recently started paying attention to removing any final carbs cuz I seem to be at a standstill. I wasn't a huge carb eater in the first place, stayed away from the biggies like pasta, potatoes, most bread... would have a wrap on occasion and sometimes some rice which I've removed now. Watched the youtube videos on Sugar/Starches and Diet/Hunger with the Eades and am even trying to watch my condiments now.
As far as proteins go I'm breaking my fast at 4 pm with meat and/or eggs, just enough to take the edge off and then have a meal of protein and greens around 6:30 pm. I cook w/ olive oil, sesame oil, coconut oil or butter. During my fasting time I stick to water and a couple cups of black coffee w/ a stevia.
Now for the questions, what about dairy?? Is cheese okay if it's full fat? And what about things like sour cream, cottage cheese, yogurt (although most are now too loaded with added sugar and seem processed to me) or if I have coffee during my window can I use cream? and what about nuts? I know cashews have the most carbs and if you do have em' raw is best, but should I avoid these things??? In the youtube clips they mentioned having "enough" protein.... I've been just relying on my hunger meter to make that call. And also since adding fat back into my meals (which still feels wierd, my how we've been brainwashed cuz I grew up with butter) I'm questioning if I'm adding enough??
Thanks for the help, Susie
