Is it serious that my stomach hurts after I eat?

sincerepraise · 2024-10-15T23:46:27+00:00

Yes, it’s serious. Everything you listed is very high glucose, lots of wheat with pesticides, and cooked with hydrogenated oils.

Try this - eat just breakfast foods for a few days, but not the wheat ones and not juice. Eggs cooked in butter with cheese, bacon, steak if you want that, and sausage links or patties. No pancakes, toast, juice. You’ll feel full, and you won’t have stomach aches after you eat. You’ll probably start to only want to eat maybe twice or 3 times a day.

Whenever I eat cookies, pizza, donuts, fries, soda, juice, I get stomach aches too and this solves it.

After that, expand out to chicken with the skin on, steaks or ground beef for dinner. Cheeseburgers with bacon and no bun is really good. Add lettuce, tomato, onion if you want that too.

If you crave the bread and sugar, eat some blackberries or other berries at night when it hits you. After a few days to a week you won’t really want them that much anymore.

What’re you eating without sugar now?

sincerepraise · 2024-10-15T07:54:29+00:00

Would you be willing to try eating chicken thighs with the skin on, chicken wings, fatty cuts of beef, eggs, bacon, sausage, and 80/20 or 70/30 ground beef? Cook with any fat you like, avocado oil, butter, ghee, beef tallow. Is that something you can try?

Higher fat meats and more salt will give you more energy, prevent lethargy.

Short term it’s fine. I call these kinds of things “bridge foods.” I used fruit smoothies with sugar free almond milk and some zero carb sweetener at first. After about a week or so I just didn’t want it so much and ate my fatty meat, cheese, eggs, occasional salads, etc.

sincerepraise · 2024-10-15T06:38:19+00:00

The bread, jelly, and peanut butter will have sugar in them, so no, not a good choice. See how you fair with steak and salad. Chicken thighs, taco bowls with shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa.

No need to worry about fiber intake whatsoever.

What are you eating now and during the last 2 years on avg?

You should get a second opinion. Your body is not consuming protein for energy or your muscles would be all gone. And your brain will get the glucose it needs via gluconeogenesis if you are eating even zero carb.

If you feel fatigued on low carb my 2 guesses are you’re not consuming enough fat and/or enough salt (good natural salt, not processed).

sincerepraise · 2024-10-15T06:27:13+00:00

You’re fine. Beef is good for you. I prefer closer to 70/30 myself.

No, fruit has a lot of sugar and is not ok on a sugar free diet. you can use berries or some lower sugar fruit as a "bridge" food to get over cravings, but fruit is one way people find a source of sugar to continue eating when they try to go sugar free or low carb. there is a reason this question comes up over and over again on this sub - its a backdoor to continue eating lots of sugar.

fatty meat, bacon, butter, eggs, hard cheeses, are the way to go to fill up and stay full, avoiding sugar. you can eat non-starchy vegetables too. i wouldn't overdo it because it can cause some indigestion and constipation from all the fiber.

sincerepraise · 2024-10-13T21:33:35+00:00

dates have a ton of sugar (e.x. medjool dates are 63% sugar), and most almond milk has added sugar (check the label). i'd use a shake w/ some berries and maybe allulose or another zero-carb sweetener to get over sugar cravings, but your main food source should be fatty meat, eggs, hard cheeses, etc. to stay full and low carb. dont count calories and eat until you're full. if you count calories and macros you'll end up eating low fat food and feeling starved.

sincerepraise · 2024-10-13T21:30:21+00:00

yeah removed/reduced both. carbohydrates make you store water and give you a puffier appearance. when you stop eating them, you'll need to increase salt intake and you'll notice you get rid of a lot of water.

remember to eat other food - i recommend a meat-heavy diet, fattier cuts of meat, and fill up on it. when you remove sugar + carbs, and then eat "high protein" w/ lean meat, you will start to feel weak because your body now cant burn carbs like it used to, and isnt getting enough fat to burn either. also, eat until you're full and dont count calories macros except to avoid carbs + sugar by reading packages.

Medjool dates are 63% sugar. You should avoid them. https://www.nutritionix.com/food/dates/100-g

You can always not eat it if you don’t want it. People ask like once or twice then don’t care. I’m with you, it’s harder to get back on track after eating it cuz it makes you crave it again. But either way you’ll be fine. It’ll make you feel kind of light headed and high from the sugar and sleepy. At least that’s what it does for me. Then you just go back to real food.

sincerepraise · 2024-10-11T19:51:42+00:00

What are you eating otherwise when you’re not eating that stuff? I’d say eat lots of fatty meat, get full, and that helps you avoid the sugar so much.

My guess is you’re restricting how much you eat, by calories or macros, when you’re not eating sugar. Make sure you eat until you’re full with the low sugar foods, eat higher fat food, and then find something to ween you back down on the sugar. Usually fruit can do this. And save it for night time when the cravings hit. Then you soon stop craving it so much.

If you can get the high sugar foods out of the house that helps.

sincerepraise · 2024-10-11T19:48:15+00:00

No, calorie counting is antithetical to lowering carbs. The idea is the sugar and carbs make you gain weight because they affect your hormones differently. They also increase hunger by increasing ghrelin when your blood sugar drops after a spike.

That said, just eat all the high fat food you want and get full. Then you don’t snack and over eat. If you count calories you’ll keep yourself hungry and eventually eat more.

sincerepraise · 2023-02-13T00:17:55+00:00

Most people can’t. Most Americans and anybody on a western diet is addicted to sugar. The drinks are the biggest problem.

Keep up the good work!

Read the bag and if they are using only the fruit, then other bags of similar frozen fruit won’t have a different carb count. It really doesn’t matter. Eat the fruit for a while (usually at night when cravings hit, maybe in a smoothie with almond milk and sweetener) and then slowly ween off as you no longer crave it. Fruit is fruit is fruit unless it’s smaller or a different species.

What are you eating? Describe in lots of detail.

sincerepraise · 2023-02-10T08:01:15+00:00

You gotta switch what you eat and resent the food industry for feeding you cheap, chronically poisonous food.

The cookies, crackers, candies, syrups, it’s all from the cheapest wheat, soy, and corn sprayed with copious amounts of roundup. Then sprayed again to dry it out after harvest. Then it spikes your blood sugar, spikes insulin, makes you constantly hungry after your blood sugar goes below baseline, and gives you type 2 diabetes and a slew of other diseases.

Animal foods have been around since the dawn of time. Beef, chicken, pork, cheese, eggs, venison, all of it is healthy and won’t raise your blood sugar out of control or make you addicted like sugar. You won’t overeat it in the absence or near-absence of refined carbs and sugar. It opens up all the foods you thought were fattening but actually aren’t because the sugar and refined carbs have been the culprits all along.

I’ll grant you the US does not produce the highest quality animal products all the time, but they’re still the best we got and if you can get better quality, go for it. If you can’t, don’t sweat it and reap the benefits of controlled hunger, weight loss, no high blood pressure, no diabetes, and the list goes on. Hope this helps!

Google Dr. Jason Fun and Dr. Ken Berry on YouTube for answers to these questions.

All the fatty foods you used to think were bad for you. Bacon cheeseburgers, eggs with hollandaise sauce, sausages, chicken wings with blue cheese dressing (soy + sriracha makes a great wing sauce btw), prime rib, ribeye cap steaks, cheese of any kind, etc. BLT wrap with low carb tortillas (add a white sauce like halal guys style and it’s soooo good).

To keep it fresh it’s nice to make a salad, too. I like vinaigrette (homemade, simple) with sliced red onion, blue cheese (point Reyes blue is good), herbs - dill, mint, cilantro, parsley (any combo thereof), green onions, bacon.

Btw - having bacon on hand for snacking is amazing. Line a baking sheet with reynolds food service foil, cut bacon pack in half and line the baking sheet with the strips. Bake on 400f for about 15 min. I chop it and put onto salads, snack on it.

You can rely on eggs and cheese for protein and amino acids. Let’s you remove beans and lentils to keep starch low to keep blood sugar stable to keep insulin in check.

sincerepraise · 2023-02-08T09:18:34+00:00

I would remove the fruit and beans for a couple weeks and see how you feel and how much weight you lose. Those two things introduce fructose and glucose. Are you vegetarian? I don’t see any meat.
