Finally! However, it has not been strictly due to diet and exercise unfortunately. I have found a supplement to help with my hypothyroidism, so that's good in so many ways! In fact it's most likely due to stress in my life.
So much stress. I recently found out some news that was not happy news and quite heartbreaking, in fact. Top this with sending off our youngest to college 4 hours away....and just for shits and grins, let's toss another fucking deployment in; as the cherry on top! It's not been great over here. I am trying really hard to not be stressed out, depressed, lonely and overwhelmed. Some days I think I have shit under control and other days I just lose my shit completely. It doesn't matter how many deployments we endure; it just never gets easier. In the past we've had 3 years between them. This time, it's 2 within two years. Not cool.
As a result, I have lost about 20 or so pounds in about a month. Granted, I have all this life to deal with. I have also been eating LCHF; which keeps the hunger very low. If I start my day with a 20 oz cold brew iced coffee with heavy whipping cream and stevia, I am good to go until dinner time. Eat about 4 oz protein and a low carb veg and call it a day. I am not hungry at all and I seem to function alright and get what needs to be done. It may appear as if I am not eating enough, but let's be honest I am not exactly over active either. When I up my activity I will worry about consuming more. Right now not being hungry or even craving anything is a pretty nice feeling.
I have consumed popcorn at the movies with my kids one weekend and was completely fine to resume my LCHF the next day without any carby cravings or withdrawals. Which is not normally the case for me.
