I meant the soy cheese, and sugar free syrup etc. which are the things you shared.

I think trying to combine and maintain multiple diets will not be successful, such as your snacking which completely invalidates the point to fasting.

But I am not diet (weight loss) oriented at all, except for rare exceptions. I'm just for a variety of whole, healthy foods. BTW, most wheat bread is barely a step above white, but there are some healthy options out there.

There wasn't any snacking, just a meal additional (twice) to the morning OMAD I've been following for about seven months now. The vegan cheese sandwich and the pancakes were an anomaly. My point was that I turned to these foods because of stress.

The spice lacks the potency of the extract. It's great for cooking if you like those flavors but the supplement is called Turmeric Circumin.

I take this product and have for years. I had severe joint pain in my hip area and have all but forgotten about it. Right now they have a 2 for 1 special and they have a small shipping charge of about $3 or $4. So you can figure out the price per dose that way. https://www.pipingrock.com/curcumin-...-capsules-2911

I take 1000mg a day. It is standardized to 95%. It's important that it contains the black pepper to help with absorption.

You could take more than 1000mg. 500mg is enough for some. There would be no harm in taking more. As with most supplements it will probably take at least a week to build up in your system.

Amazon has a lot of different products.
https://www.amazon.com/s?k=curcumin&...price-asc-rank

It is also known to be anti-cancer among other things.

Okay, thank you; I'll try it.

Three lbs is nothing. Excretion/elimination can take care of that over the course of a week. Any weight gain that you have is most likely a calorie problem, not a carb problem. Your body is used to this one a day meal plan and then you throw curve balls by occasionally eating more than once a day. then you don't mind your calories (which I think is a great way to gain weight down the road, but that's here and there).

You can easily consume your daily allotment in calories in one sitting, so adding more food can take you over the top. nuts aren't low calorie, neither are nut butters. A mere two table spoons is about 200 cals. And then your exercise has decreased.

Being a vegetarian, trying to strictly follow keto is a disaster as far as I'm concerned. Of course it can be done, but it's terribly restrictive. Doing strict keto, you shouldn't be eating beans. And if carbs are the enemy, then you need to ditch the beans and rice and really all legumes other than soybeans I guess. Legumes are cornerstones of a healthy vegan diet, so I'd think that would be a terrible idea. What you need to do is count your calories at least for a week and see the pattern over time before you make conclusions. Also, didn't you reach your goal?

I'm not a vegetarian, I'm a vegan. I do eat beans, especially the garbanzos in hummus which I make from scratch.

Carbs are the problem. I think I finally get it.
That's one huge lunch. I'm a glutton but there's no way I could eat 5,000 calories in one meal. That's pretty impressive.

Yes. People are finally waking up to this. Too many people are having success with low-carb diets. It's not only the cure for obesity but a whole host of other chronic conditions.



Don't eat any carbs/sugars - live longer. It's simple.

No its not that simple. Not all carbs are the enemy and whole grains provide fiber and nutrients. Actually the diet that provides the best of all foods is the Mediterranean diet.

Dieting and losing weight comes down to one simple equation. You must burn more calories than you consume. How an individual decides to do that is up to them. There is no 'one size fits all'. Low Carb, KETO, Paleo, CICO, OMAD, Intermittent fasting are all choices that will get you to your goal IF, and that is a big if, you have the commitment to follow that diet. The trick is to find one that you can live with permanently.
