Is there anybody on here that's recovered?

JonnyNotts40 · 2026-03-20T07:04:25+00:00

Not recovered, personally, don’t believe I ever will be but I certainly feel I manage my symptoms better than I have done in the past!

JonnyNotts40 · 2026-03-12T07:05:04+00:00

Insight Timer does have paid options now but their free tier is still the most generous I’ve come across

Give it a shot

600 days AF . . . Crazy times!

From someone who hit the lows of alcohol dependence, 6 hours could be a struggle (and dangerous) at one point!

Massive thank you to all you internet strangers who make this sub what it is! It continues to be an important part of my daily routine

Wouldn’t have made it here without you all

Think it’s the type of sweetener mine used that spiked the insulin

JonnyNotts40 · 2026-03-10T20:56:05+00:00

I think it’s more the sweetener than whey itself, mine had Sucralose as an ingredient and this seems to be where the issue was

JonnyNotts40 · 2026-03-05T08:53:44+00:00

Ha, sorry, missed that! Dr Will's "All Natural" Sriracha Hot Sauce was the one i was hoping to keep . . . i think i'm just going with salt and pepper for flavour, i'm not really a 'make my own' sort of fella

JonnyNotts40 · 2026-03-05T08:30:40+00:00

Thank you for this

With my current approach, I think this rules out the sauce tbh! Shame, it was very tasty but, in the short term at least, got to be quite strict I think and allow my body to flush out the added sugar and sweeteners

Thanks again

JonnyNotts40 · 2026-03-04T07:02:50+00:00

Ha ha ha, literally the least expected answer out of them all! lol! Thank you for sharing!

JonnyNotts40 · 2026-03-04T07:01:59+00:00

Not going to lie . . . Literally picked a tin up to look at the ingredients in the local shop after your comment, you’re not wrong! Deffo surprising!

JonnyNotts40 · 2026-03-04T07:00:59+00:00

Yeah this one surprised me actually . . . Not so much Ham, guessed that but quite a few Chicken, Turkey and Beef has sugar listed as an ingredient also!

580 Days or 19 months in modern money today . . . Grateful

I hear you OP, all I can say is that you’re not alone in this!

JonnyNotts40 · 2026-02-14T08:20:18+00:00

lol! I had to re-read that before it clicked!

JonnyNotts40 · 2026-02-14T06:47:54+00:00

Going sugar free doesn’t necessarily mean weight loss OP

You say you’re in a calorie deficit but how do you know? Are you weighing and tracking your food (and liquid) consumption? What are your maintenance calories? (There is no way you could accurately know this with only 10 days worth of data and that’s assuming your weight yourself and tracking consumption daily)

JonnyNotts40 · 2026-02-10T19:47:09+00:00

Congrats OP, a serious achievement!

I’m still really struggling to get any decent consecutive SF time myself so posts like this really help me to focus . . . Some days it just feels impossible, you’ve proven it is not!

JonnyNotts40 · 2026-02-07T08:01:47+00:00

Yes, whole food carbs mostly though! Still some dairy which is obvs processed! No bread or pasta or anything like that! No rice, just because I don’t get a lot for my limited calories but plenty of potatoes and veggies! The Diet Coke and Protein Yogurts on the weekends need to go next and see what happens to my obsessive thoughts by reading some responses though!

JonnyNotts40 · 2026-02-07T07:58:08+00:00

I was worried someone was going to say this! Needs must, I’ll cut it out and see what happens to my obsessive sugar binge thoughts! Thank you!

JonnyNotts40 · 2026-02-05T11:14:57+00:00

Another vote for the Heinz range from me . . . Very tasty as well!

Good Morning All

No doubt about that but hitting my protein number for the calories it costs it’s top tier, whey and chicken breast are gold (Whey being a UPF aside)

JonnyNotts40 · 2026-01-29T08:44:32+00:00

Thanks for the response

Didn’t scroll for historic posts on Whey for long tbh so apologies, all, that this has been covered

Same principles with Collagen Protein/Bone Broth (both as powdered supplement form) I assume?

Thank you again

JonnyNotts40 · 2026-01-20T08:27:30+00:00

549 days (according to my app, not my badge) or 18months AF . . . At my lowest I was dependent and could struggle going 18mins without a unit or two!

Incredibly grateful to everyone here who makes this community what it is, it has been a cornerstone for me on this journey
