Re: self care -- Food, Salt , Sugar , Water
We've heard some good things about keto @Appleblossom, a friend lost a significant amount of weight and is so much healthier since making the switch in diet, but she also did get into exercise around the same time with a fitbit and walking so it's difficult to say if the result is purely down to the keto or the combination

Hi @Shaz51
Thanks @Appleblossom
I've had a stressful day, with 100Km of driving (no notice) - due to work schedule change.
So I'm looking for some comfort food (stress eating) too @Former-Member
I have a little Bhuja mix (hot chilli flavoured) left, hopefully not too unhealthy (tasty)...

Re: self care -- Food, Salt , Sugar , Water
Actually I'm not all healed up (as suggested).
I still have the internal (dissolvable) stitches sticking out through skin.
It was the weight-gain (back into my healthy range) - that was the positive improvement. Unexpected.

Re: self care -- Food, Salt , Sugar , Water
That's a good recommendation there @Appleblossom It's sticking to it for 6-9 months that is the real challenge, isn't it?

We tried the shirataki noodles in a stirfry and I thought they had a really nice consistency and will likely get them again.
According to the internet they are a lot cheaper at Asian grocers. They come in a watery sachet and need to be rinsed under running water for approx 15 seconds before one uses them.

Re: self care -- Food, Salt , Sugar , Water
Beginning of this week I made a conscious effort to 1. Have breakfast each morning (apple rather than coffee) 2. Have lunch every day. Something often missed. (Tin of smoked salmon or ham and tomato between 2 slices of cheese. And 3. Smaller portion at dinner + steamed potato rather than mashed with butter and milk added. This also results in smaller portion of potato.
While there has been no change in the scales I have found yesterday I am increasingly having to hitch up my trousers. May need a new hole in my belt. 😁
I have long ago correlated skipping meals with weight gain so this little win is encouragement to continue.
Also have an upcoming appointment with a dietitian together with darling to ensure reduced intake is balanced with adequate nutrition. (And for me more consistent intake).

Re: self care -- Food, Salt , Sugar , Water
Can I gently encourage each one of us to be mindful of what & when we eat today and to do what is needed for each of us to maximise our health outcomes.
