First of all:
Waistline Safe energy drinks:
- HiBall Energy 0 Calorie (no sweeteners!) - absolutely no risk
- Starbucks Refreshers (pinch of sugar/stevia) - minor risk
- Vitamin Water Energy (erithrytol/stevia) - little risk
Now, the update: Maintained around 143 for a few months -- had a Halloween candy pigout session and gained 5 lbs due to messing up my metabolism. Waaaah. (I kept craving more sugar for days and days thereafter...) My top weight was 150 a few days ago.
Giving up all splenda and almost all added sugars.
Realizations:
With the PCOS, I have to go Very Low Calorie Diet (~800 calories) and/or some variant of Intermittent Fasting (say the Fast Diet - 500 calories a day two to three days a week) to have much hope unless most of my calories are from fresh veggies and fruit.
In general, I maintain well on a "nutritionally dense" diet (eggs, moderate cheese, spinach, fruit mini pies, nuts and berries). I don't lose on a diet that is TOO dense, however (too many quiche/empanadas/pizza type things for example).
