I think the less weight you need to lose, the harder it is to get it off. Ideally, I would like to lose 10-15 lbs but even if I don't I'm not overweight. I will have to do something drastic to break the plateau or switch things up. My weakness, peanut butter. I use it as a replacement for sweets sometimes and it's very high in calories and has significant carbs.

My weight stayed at 250 for years.
Then I had robotic prostate removal surgery,went to 280.
Dropped to 269,when I tapered off Ativan.Stuck there right now.
Would like to get back to 250.

I could live on potato chips and pop,if I lost control!

Aren't potatoes full of starch(sugar)?

Yes, that's why I said "Except for potatoes, etc."....

But I love those. Mashed, baked, any way.....

Just lay off the carbs. That'll do it, for real. Eat chicken or fish and salads, broccoli or asparagus, stuff like that.

I would love to eat much more,fish!
But it's so expensive!

So you think Top eats her Alpo once a day is an issue?

Don't bring that stuff here, Mason.

Right now I eat a lot of carbs, because I need the filler stuff to help with the fat I eat. Otherwise I feel sick.

[Jade Dragon]

That's interesting that it lowers your metabolism but I guess it makes sense. No wonder I lose no weight on it anymore. I think it sets your BMR, base metabolic rate and you have to break out of it.

Not trying to hijack your thread.

The discussion is recipes, and the food that surrounds them. I've been coming here looking for low fat recipes.

I love peanuts as well, penut butter but most of the hiking bars have it so I have gotten kinda sick of it.. Anyway, have you ever tried soy peanut butter?? I know it sounds disgusting but I ate almost a half a jar before I realized it was soy......

Also in most stores they have bins of roasted peanuts & a grinder & you can just grind your own-FRESH w/out the other stuff added in...

I'm disabled, with medicaid. As far as I know, they only really pay for dietitian stuff for diabetics.

Oh, I have Kaiser, unfortunately & they offer classes @ the hospital as well as on line..

My oldest daughter has a degree in Nutritional science & was a bit of a pain @ times when she was living w/ me but I learned a lot although I don't always practice it..lol

I would think there would be lots of info, free on line that could be useful, if you put it into practice along w/ moderate exercise.

No, I've never tried soy. I've had almond butter, it's about $10 a jar for a small jar here. lol

That's cool! I wish we had a place like that. I also buy a container of assorted nuts with Brazil nuts, almonds, pecans and hazelnuts which I also can't leave alone.
