Hi Liliann:
I, also binge on food. I went grocery shopping today and bought all kind of goodies. My goal is 1 serving of everything I choose to eat, so maybe I will have less binges.
I thought our body needs carbs, but maybe I am wrong.
That is good to have protein and fat.
Are you sure you want to skip lunch? I am always hungry even when I eat meals, but I know it is all in my head. I really have some bad habits. But, I will be 66 soon and will keep trying.
Liliann, thanks for sharing and we keep trying to see what works for us.

Choosing lean chicken,fish ,eggs,butter,oil.

I personally think it is healthiest to choose healthier type carbs. Sweet potatoes, brown rice, whole grain bread, fruits and veggies, etc.

Carbs are important for energy, good fuel for workouts, and fuel for the brain, too.

Funny isn't it? There are those of us whose genetic makeup basically needs carbs to thrive; others of us just pack on the pounds if we eat more than a few grams of even healthy carbs. I personally can only maintain, not lose, if I eat more than 50 grams of carbs of any sort. I'm sure there are others here who feel absolutely terrible if they eat that few carbs.

My problem isn't KNOWING what I need to eat; trial and error has pretty much fixed that. My problem is overcoming the addiction to foods which are bad for me, and actually sticking to my food program.

I'm on 30-35g carbs a day. If i went 0 carbs I think my digestion would struggle. I just have salads mostly.

be careful fasting cos if your body goes into starvation mode you can actually put weight on.
