To ask what you think of this typical food intake?

Being measured, quite literally, about what your intake is, isnt the same as being 'fixated' with diet

With respect, the reason people (including me in the past) are overweight is because they dont have any concept of what their intake is, they dont 'restrict'(which people seem to throw around with abandon as some sort of bad thing) their food intake which is why we have an obseity problem

I dont think anyone has a problem with 'restricting' alcohol to the recommended limits or restricting it to a persons personal threshold do they? Why any different with food

If I went out, as I did last night and just had 2 drinks, because I know more will make me feel ill, its not good for me etc, is that 'restricting' alcohol in a bad way, should I drink more because its enjoyable?

Exactly, nothing strange about it, its how people usually serve themselves up and they just get to know what their general intake

Actually I'm like this with biscuits, can't have them in the house, if I have one I'lll have the packet. I didn't stop because of other people, or weight, I just always knew it wasn't ok. It wasn't daily, but if I bought them I'd binge.

My kids will not know the experience of a hob nob because I buy biscuits I don't like, if I buy them at all!

Maybe your OH could change to a cheese your not so keen on

I'm not sure that's the case. It's possible to feel full on a high protein diet. It's all the cheese and nut eating that's causing the problem

Op - your husband wanting cheese for sandwiches isn't causing this. Ditch the nuts - if they are making you crave more cheese it's not worth having them

Also if I were your husband - I would buy a small fridge - and lock the cheese away. You are only going to be able to deal with the cravings properly if you don't have access to cheese - because as you say - when you eat it you just want more of it

Im pretty sure lots of people have food cravings. With me it was always crisps -I could eat two or three bags in one sitting - easily. I had to stop buying them until I could get to a point where I could eat one pack at a time. Now I can go weeks and not eat any

Weight isn't the be all and end all of health. You can be slim and have high cholesterol, be pre diabetic or develop type 2 diabetes, have nutrient deficiency, develop kidney stones from the insane amount of protein etc etc

People have said this already but the OP is eating around 2500k calories in just the nuts and cheese alone

OP - even if you do have cheese cravings you don't have to buy a family pack. You can buy packs of cheese that are portioned out

Yeah you're not wrong there. If she was slim I'd probably say she must be getting away with it. But 450g of cheese a day I don't see how anyone wouldn't have a weight problem honestly?!

They said that wasn't a typical days eating for them - so presumably they eat less day to day. I think going out for a meal and eating two spoons of rice sounds like someone who is on a diet and is terrified to put on weight

I honestly can't be bothered getting into an argument on this. I've struggled with my weight my entire adult life - I know fine well how hard it is to lose weight and keep it off -but surely if someone is on a weight loss diet they can go out for a very occasional meal without counting the rice and curry in spoonfuls?

Being fixated with every last thing you eat isn't healthy either - and it can lead to people chucking said diet - and binge eating

She's eating far too much cheese and she's said she's got a weight problem - the cheese won't be helping that

And restricting you food intake is bad because...? The vast majority of us eat far too much and that's why we have an obesity crisis. Being mindful of what you put on your plate and trying to eat less is not an eating disorder.

I don't. If I go out for a meal I don't count the rice I put on my plate in tablespoons. The last time I went out for a meal the portions were quite small - just the way the restaurant did them.

Some people find it helpful to weigh out food and others don't. Some people will also eat meals that are already calorie counted - ready meals

Pretty sure there's guidance online regarding what a portion size should be. Some people are also very active - so they might eat a bigger portion

I’ve never heard of anyone doing this in my life.

Ok thank you. So this other person is disordered and so is OP. I'm not so sure but if that's what it looks to you then fair enough.

OP definitely eats a lot of cheese, that's probably not enormously healthy but I guess it's good for your bones?

You went out for dinner and measured your curry and rice in tablespoons?!?

Tbf, I do this.

I know roughly how many spoons of something I'll eat so that's how much I put on my plate. I assumed everyone did this? How do you know how much to cook or serve yourself otherwise?

It's not OP. I think the OPs eating is very disordered. Low carb doesn't mean eating that much cheese in one sitting every day

If it's OP then they are doing very low carb. That's probably why they seem restrictive on the rice. If they're eating lots of fat and calories the only thing stopping them gaining will be not having many carbs.

I still think calling it sad to memorise the amount of food you had is a bit unnecessary. It doesn't mean they didn't enjoy it.

I'd like to see that person's diet when they aren't going out for a meal - it looks very much like they are restricting their food intake - if they think a couple of spoons of rice is too much on a meal out

I think that's harsh. If someone's watching their weight or just remembers the exact food they eat it doesn't make it sad or depressing. I'd easily remember if I had one spoon of something or several. It doesn't means you're not enjoying your food? Like I had two pieces of a chicken skewer yesterday. I just did and I remember I did. That was all I wanted.

OP I was thinking this is the worst diet I've ever heard of in an NT person - but then it turns out you're ND. Your ADHD probably explains what's going on here when it comes to cheese:

'ADHD safe foods are frequently linked to food hyperfixation, where a person eats the same thing for weeks or months because it is stimulating and convenient.'

You need to not have cheese in the house otherwise you probably don't stand a chance, your husband needs to support you in this. You also need to try really hard to have a more normal diet with 3 meals a day and lots of vegetables. Check out low FODMAP vegetables if you have problems with intolerances as they are often more easily tolerated, you won't be allergic I don't expect, just intolerant.

It's really important he supports you in this and I can promise you one of the best ways to get on top of binge or unhealthy eating habits is to just not have that food in the house. Because of how we are designed it is very hard to resist food we like or crave and you are just setting yourself up for a constant battle if it is in your kitchen. Get some support and guidance from a reliable and reputable source, and surround yourself with healthy food. Can your husband keep the cheese at work? He can still make the sandwiches at home and then put the cheese in at work. You honestly need it out of the house to help ween yourself off your craving.

I think the WLI suggestions are particularly because of the beneficial effect they have on a lot of people in terms of reducing cravings, meaning it would be easier for someone to reduce their over consumption on them, than without. Not saying whether they would be right for OP or not, but I can see why people have suggested this. I don’t know if they can be used in conjunction with some kind of therapy.

Which is why your replies are problematic. You are writing in support of a high protein diet but have looked at the OP in isolation of OP’s other posts where you would see she is not attempting to follow keto or a personal training plan, and under the circumstances your advice could be dangerous.

450g cheese is 1800 calories which is probably more than your daily calories not to mention salt
A portion of cheese id 30- 40g you are eating 10x this
Eggs fir omelette 70 each so 280
A pork chop is 505 cals you had x2 so 1100 calories
Nuts are 600 per 100g you had x2 1200
Sweetcorn and pepper 150csls

By my calculation on day 1 you ate 4530 calories which is more than double you should be eating.

Your daily should be between 1500-2000 depending on age and activity level.

Also the omelettes were made with 4 eggs and on one of the days was accompanied by 2 pork chops.
