Two years ago, I got down to 169 lbs doing zero carb. It worked great for a while but I ended up nuking my thyroid in the process (super cold all of the time, zero energy and started regaining weight even though the diet didn't change). I went back to a mixed diet and ended up gorging on all of the stuff I hadn't gotten to eat in a while. I ended up regaining right back to 200 lbs. 
I have found that I can maintain like a mfer on a mixed diet but can't lose for shit. I am thinking of going back to very low carb to lose but mix in some refeeds and diet breaks to keep the thyroid happy this time.
The problem is getting started. I keep planning it, starting it, then stopping after a couple of days for "one last splurge" which derails me for a couple of weeks before I restart again.
I have a (probably stupid) question about the Facebook group - would posts there show up on my wall? |
It's a closed group, so I don't think your friends would see it, however, if they do, I don't have a problem changing it to a secret group, the problem I had was people being able to click the link and sign up.
