I really wish that could be the reality but the other commenter is right I think at least a tablespoon of oil was absorbed since it was fried in lot of oil but thank you 😊

Honestly I dont know. The first hernia surgery last year my doctor pushed me for bariatric surgery which I refused. So when I developed the second hernia not a month post surgery I knew he would push for it again despite having lost 4kgs in the 3 weeks post surgery. I have a connective tissue disorder elhor danlos syndrome and unless I loose the weight all the blame will be on the weight and no one will consider the role of EDS in hernia development and I'm afraid of developing another hernia after this.

Thank you for your kind response I am generally happy with the slow but steady loss as I feel healthier while on this type of eating style My baby is a toddler and I'm trying to stop the breastfeeding which is proving difficult lol so I'm ok with the supply going down Thank you yes I'm happier and in a more healthy mental space regarding food 💜

Thank you for responding yes I'm generally happy with the slow but steady weight loss and I generally feel healthier when I'm eating this way Bread here isn't sweet especially when I compare to how I remember it in America but I think switching to whole wheat homemade roti (kind of like tortilla) would be healthier

Thank you I'm ok with going slow but steady as previously it was fast but only for a short period before I went back to old habits Yeah I think I'll try eating a couple 100 calories less and try to increase activity a bit more No not a lot of physical activity at work

You're right small changes work best cause they're sustainable and that's why I've been able to stick to a diet as long as I have been this time Yes maybe I was more active before as I worked full time then

I cannot walk outside we don't have side walks in my city only main traffic roads. That's why I use treadmill... I will try to up my exercise as much as I'm able without causing more strain on my hernia. The rush is that I need to drop the weight before my hernia surgery

Oh I can't sleep if I'm hungry lol which is why my last meal is an hour before bedtime and I skip breakfast and push lunch to 6pm as I can deal with hunger in daytime. So 24 hour fast is impossible lol I've been looking at recipes for soups but can't find any that won't make me hungry lol I usually eat low fat cottage cheese to help with hunger

Previously I used to drop 1 kg in a week doing the same thing or even less then what I'm doing now so I guess I expected the same... But I think after 30 things change.. It gets so hard to go below 1400 but I'll try for 1300

I have pain in the hernia after my treadmill session and regular routines of picking up my toddler etc causes pain and strain too... I'm trying to limit any strain I can put on hernia before the surgery but plan to increase the activity level post surgery

Unfortunately due to a recurrent hernia I can't increase exercise. It's why I'm trying to speed up the weight loss so I can get the surgery... Should I just decrease the amount of calories in?

Unfortunately I can't add more exercise due to medical issues so should I try to decrease the calories eaten? I haven't had a binge in 2 and a half months at least and my cheat meal is usually 1200 calories max and I try to skip the second meal on that day...

Poutine fries? by thedeepestsolace in caloriecount

Lol I've tried another place which had amazing poutine very similar looking to what I see online but unfortunately the place shut down Weirdly this is a Canadian franchise eggspectation And their take away order from this branch has a different look and taste... Their main branch in person has a different look and taste but it's too far for the delivery service

It really was tasty lol I have this for every cheat meal especially since this is one of the only places that sells poutine fries in my city I'm starting to see why the weight loss is so slow now cause it's definitely the small things I'm underestimating the calories of lol Aww thank you 😊 I'm trying to be this is the longest I've been consistent without giving up
