Wishing you a manageable Manic Monday 😲

Too much snow for me to make it to an early rheumatologist appt...but they switched it to a virtual visit for me later this afternoon 👏👏

I'm still having trouble eating more calories, so decided to make a few changes. I just can't eat ENOUGH salad & veggies to add up cuz I get too full. So I'm gonna try going back to REAL mayo & real butter (in moderation). Also trying to add nuts to meals. Maintenance is definitely a challenge for me. Any suggestions would be welcome, as I still haven't heard from a nutritionist since the referral. Thanks, in advance 👍🙋‍♀️

I think your additions of mayonnaise and butter, should help, as well as the nuts. 👍

Avocado - if you can get them - are huge in natural oils and high in calories - I recognize your CI dilemma -related to meal portion sizes - you just cannot consume any more food in order to get the extra CI in a healthy way - without eating a chocolate bar (still only 220 calories) Nuts are high in calories and so are dried fruits ... yep - that is a dilemma.......eat heavier foods.

Maybe you should just let your body reach a Set Point - maybe that new Set Point is only a few pounds away - maybe your Goal weight is not your body's natural Set Point. If you are full and healthy with a good nutritional valued steady flow of food --- maybe your body needs to "arrive" at the natural Set Point - or - Plateau.

Good fats like coconut oil, avocados 🥑, nuts 🥜 , olive 🫒 oil, low fat unsweetened yogurt (you can add stevia or the like) and then add PB or almond butter. Serious continued weight loss could be hiding an illness. You prob should get blood tests. A routine but thorough physical.

I looked at your food diary and you are eating sugar free or low fat items that you should eliminate. Get rid of that creamer and use a full fat creamer. Ditch the 45 calorie bread for a whole grain bread or something like Ezekial which are about 100+ calories a slice. Stay away from all the artificial sweeteners and artificial fats and you can easily add some calories. If the day ever comes you need to reduce calories again you will know exactly where to focus. Good Luck !

Also fat free Orville Redenbacher Kettle Corn and sugar free fudgesicles. So many items you could switch out for higher calorie versions.

Sounds like a good plan Crystal. Love all your food puns
