Really Struggling to lose weight!

[ScattyNat83]

I just don't know what's wrong with me!! I need to lose weight for IVF but I just can't seem to get a handle on it. If anything, I weigh more than when I started! Work pressures really have me stressed to the max at the moment and my age (39) makes me feel like all my time is running out. I need to lose 3 stone to get my BMI to 29 but it feels like a million miles away right now. This is all adding more and more stress, so that + work has me so miserable!!! Sorry for the ranting but there is nobody to rant to apart from my poor hubby who gets it all the time 😔

@ScattyNat83 Hi there! The best you can do is visit a nutritionist/dietician and understand your metabolism, bmi etc. Then, you should ask for a weekly diet and follow it to a t. This worked so well for me! I see its been a few months since you started this thread, hope things have gone smoothly for you!

Hi there,

Due to your age I wouldn't wait any longer and go private.

Having sad that I also have lots to loose. I've started doing keto in which you eat only 20-30 gr of carbs per day. Lots of free apps online to guide you. The first week is really hard but eventually you don't feel hungry. My specialist says that a low carb diet also helps egg quality.

It's not a miracle diet, I've been strict for 2 months and only lost 7 kilos but almost 2 dress sizes.

Good luck

@Cherry35 I've been wondering about Keto and Dukan diets! What about ketosis? Have you experienced it or have any advice ?

@Minamina

I don't know about the Duncan diets. I'm doing dirty or lazy keto which means I only count carbs. You download the app and it gives you a recommendation on how many grams of carbs, fats and calories you should eat.

I don't check ketosis, apparently you don't need to be in ketosis to loose weight. You should buy a book about it. It's the easiest diet I've found, you can eat many things and just maintain the carbs goal.

This podcast has changed everything for me. I'd really recommend it www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0017tcz/episodes/player

@Missingmydarling thanks for the rec! also @ScattyNat83 forgive me if you've already mentioned it, but what app are you using? I'm going to start as well! thanks so much
