Hey everyone I am back and I’m not trying to complain or be annoying but I need tips and help!
I want to be honest with everyone and I am going to give you a detail description of what I eat and about my past in order for y’all to get some insight on me!
-I am a female, 25 years old, and currently weigh 195 (Aug 2 is when I started the keto at a weight of 220 lbs)
-I always had weight issues as a child and teen, but in late high school I lost a good bit of weight because I played varsity basketball. In high school I weighed around 150
-In college I started taking Adderal and this helped with my studies tremendously. However, after taking it for about 3 years I lost a lot of weight! I was at my lowest weight at being 140. And I loved it! But eventually I stopped taking adderall about 1.5-2 years ago and this is when everything went downhill for me. I gained a TREMENDOUS amount of weight. My metabolism was already crap and after getting off the medication my whole system was just screwed. Hence, the gaining weight issue, which I became 220 pounds.
-Also, I have hypothyroidism. Yes, I have been taking medication for it however I stopped taking it and slacked off. I just now got my new refill and began taking it 2 weeks ago, and I will not stop because I hope this will help a little with my issue.
-I started the keto, lost about 15 pounds the first month, then after my weight loss slowed down… which was still ok to me as long as I was losing weight. Now, it has been 1 month that my weight has not budged.
-I haven’t exercised since starting the keto. I am going to begin moderate workouts (2-3 days a week) to see if something happens to my weight loss.
My typical day of eating:
-10 am I have unsweetened black coffee, with heavy whipping cream, and mct oil
-12-1 pm I will snack on cheese (sometimes a little and sometimes a lot) and some salami or pepperoni (BoarsHead brand)
-7-8 pm I make something homemade. today for instance I made red curry with chicken thighs (I used coconut milk) or broccoli with chicken and homemade alfredo sauce (which is mostly cream cheese and heavy whipping cream and parmesan).
-water intake is not a lot…I maybe drink 4 cups a day.
What is your opinion considering my background of medication of adderall and weight issues?? What should I change? Am I doing something wrong?? Also, because I work, sometimes I may eat my dinner a bit late, like around 9 pm. I will try to keep dinner before 7 if possible.
