A question for the Maintainers

[gab1969]

Thanks Nat.

Congratulations on your pregnancy. I have found the information you have provided both helpful and supportive. I'll give it a try. I am so conscious of and worried about what I am eating and the amounts, that at this point in time, not enjoying life after maintenance. I had many sceptics whilst on the program and don't want to be giving them the last laugh. I will succeed!

Hi Gab1969 and Hayley23,

Hayley 23 - I've sent you a PM about the PCOS thing.

Thanks for your congratulations Gab1969!

I did find that once I got to maintenence, I was scared of food! Of eating in general! A lot of people were waiting for me to stack all my weight back on again (and still are) because I did it in such a quick and "unconventional" way - not the usual eat less, have carbs and exercise your butt off.

But I know I'm not going to put the weight back on again now as I know the secret and I will follow those rules as I know they work for me.

Don't be scared of food and gaining weight. You also know the secret now and if a couple of kgs do creep on, then you know what to do. And a couple of kgs is so much easier to lose than 10 or 20 or 30kgs, etc.

Just keep on top of things but enjoy life as well. If you have a big food day one day, then even it out the next day by cutting back on the carbs and going back to refeed type foods.

Hope this helps.

Nat

I am really enjoying this thread even though I am far away from maintenece. It is really inspiring to see other people maintaining and eating "normally". This is now how I want to live and I dont plan on bindging after I finish. I want to be happy and healthy not over-weight and indulgent

xx Thanks again Nat for the insite!

just wondering....I see a lot of egg whites in the previous posts and is wondering if there is anyone who eat more than 1 full egg each day? How many eggs can one eat in a week without affecting one's cholesterol? I love my egg yolks

hey fornight
i think its different for everyone, but i can eat an egg a day, sometimes 2 when im out for breaky on weekends, and then at home i make omelettes with one yolk and 3 or 4 whites, just to bulk it up. im not sure what my cholesterol is but apparently one egg a day is beneath the daily cholesterol limit and an old dietician of mine told me if u have one egg a day its ok. as long as you're fit and dont have cholesterol issues!!

Thanks for the reply. I really really like eggs. Whether it is hard boiled, soft boiled, scrambles or fried. Love Them!

To add to what everyone else has said.

It all depends on what eggs you are referring to. Chicken eggs are generally OK if you take 1 a day. However, quail eggs - though small... can't have more than 3 a day and should not be taken more than twice a week. That's what I've been told.
