Guest guest Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Hello Someone had posted something about fats recently and wanted to comment on that. My whole life I've had weight issues. I was a chunky kid but no one else in my family had weight problems. The group that helped me get off antidepressants stress strongly eating a healthy diet. Well, yeah, that's great but when you crave sugar and carbs it's impossible to eat healthy. The answer for wanting to binge was fat. For most of my life I would binge and then diet. While dieting to make up for binging I would feel so close to being out of control, on the verge of another binge. For the first time in my life I'm thin and don't have the cravings and temptation to binge. I attribute this to consuming ALOT of fat and the RIGHT kinds of fats and getting rid of all starch. If I eat a bowl of oatmeal or cereal, a muffin, etc in the morning I'll be ravenous the entire day. So I consume alot of protein also. Every day I eat a bag of nuts and seeds that has a total of 45 grams of fat. I eat avocados often, coconut flakes and add butter and olive oil to my foods. I seem to NEED this and I don't know if this is unique to me, people with hypothyroidism or if most people need much more fat in their diets. The few times I have felt I could binge on something with carbs and/or sugar I would eat something like nuts, coconut flakes, cheese, etc and the feeling passed. I had my cholesterol checked in May and it was 140. L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
