Just saw my pdoc

Thank you guys!
My psychiatrist is just looking out for my health @everhopeful @Daze.

She suggested that I go low carb because I lost more than 50 lbs on a low carb diet in the past.

She is a psychiatrist by training but she knows a lot about nutrition and takes on a holistic approach with her patients as well.

I like this about her, she cares about her patients and does more for them besides medication management.

Good stuff!:stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes::slightly_smiling_face:

That may help.

I really want to do the same diet as you but my bf eats those things and if they are in the house I will eat them specially if he is having …

Diet may be easier when living alone or with someone else that’s on the same diet.

I messed up and ate like 5 Reese’s peanut butter cups!

I hate myself…:tired_face:

Oh but how could you resist? Blame the candy company!

Honestly I don’t think I could handle following a low carb diet.

Maybe I’ll stick with portion control and counting calories instead.

You need to do what feels best for you
Quite a long time ago I did a Mediterranean diet. It’s easy to find online. It’s super healthy and i always felt very full. I lost 50 lbs on it. I’m going to give it a try again. Anyway what’s good for one person isn’t for another.

That cauliflower crust pizza is very good, you would never know it was made out of gawd-awful cauliflower.

You can also steam a head of cauliflower to death - until it literally falls apart in a mushy mess, smash it more until it’s all smooth,

add a bit of salt, a glob of butter, or whatever your tastebuds desire…
Cheese and the grater is always my friend - Asiago, parmigiana, Romano…

Serve in a bowl, and call it Mashed Potatoes.

See if anyone else notices it ain’t Spuds.

I’ve had the cauliflower “mashed potatoes” somewhere before. It was actually pretty good. And i normally don’t like cauliflower.

I just bought cauliflower rice today from the market.

@Csummers @disciple cauliflower mashed potatoes sounds good.

Maybe I’ll give it a try!

I hope it works well for you! I’m on 500 mg and the only side effect I get is some mild GI stuff. I would probably do better on the next dose up but I’d rather stay on this one as for the most part it’s effective and I don’t want to risk more side effects appearing.

Glad it’s working out for you at 500mg @Anna.
And thanks for the well wishes!
