After my head injury some 12 plus years ago, I was home 5 years. LONG and nasty recovery but 95 percent good :)
I went from 220 to 435. YES you read that last number correctly.
Now I’m in the high 200s.
And I STARVED to lose it.
Anyone tells you you’re gonna lose over 100 pounds without being hungry a lot is LYING. :)
Thing is you eat out of despair and SO MUCH.
I tell the brain injured vets (i am not one) to Not ADD another problem which is the weight gain.
Now I have to drop the last 60 and i’ll still by pudgy but i’ll live :)
And the people that buy and MAKE the food for people that heavy are just as guilty.
I ordered out alot :)
Holy cow. Good for you!
Sad, but some prescription medication will cause unusual desire to eat.
Shocking that a pint of ice cream could be 1000+ calories
He was a pretty big guy, 6 feet, 200 pounds. As part of his recovery, they pumped him full of steroids, and he swelled up to 400.
He's still struggling with the weight all these years later, medically retired, can't work...
Actually that's the best thing about Keto, you really don't get hungry. On most days, I don't even eat at the office, and I don't even think about it. Now, I will say, you have to work yourself towards it, and gradually ween yourself from carbs, try to cut 20 grams carbs per day each week, until you get down to no more than 20 grams of carbs a day.
