As soon as you go on a diet you think of food all the time, breakfast is not over and you're thinking of lunch, then dinner it's crazy. I stopped all the diet fads. I now have a smaller plate so my portion size is smaller this has worked for me, and I feel I'm not missing out.
I am on the journey to relearn how to eat, portion sizes etc. I am focused to keeping in a calorie deficit, with my main focus on getting 100 mg of protein a day. As we get older us ladies need to increase our protein to ensure we don't lose muscle mass. I have lost 65lbs since June. Like you I know I cannot restrict myself as it is not sustainable. Good luck on your journey!
Meant to add, work on not needing to clean your plate, eat until satiated, not full not stuffed. You can save the food left for later or just have something later if hungry. I make sure I pay attention to how I am feeling while eating so I don't miss my bodies signals.
Thanks so much for the encouragement, it is definitely a struggle! But wowee congratulations you have done amazing! Yes portion sizes is something I’m still learning and the getting the macros right too but I’m definitely enjoying it more
Yeah I totally get how you feel. You shouldn't feel guilty having a piece of choccy or sushi. You've not been discouraged. You've kept on going, so thats good as it can get disillusioning When your weight doesnt drop off as normal, peeves you off and when you had followed keto. Who care Lisa! Youre doing great. Its when you hit the big Menopause that itslows down. Awful. Also i rather you not do vlogmas every day if it means your going to get burnt out like last year and we start to worry. I so enjoy watching you xxx youre the best ❤i want you to slow down uf you havetoomuch on as we care
It’s hard 😕I have never done keto but I know people who have they lose weight but gain it back quickly and more. You are doing great 😊Thank you for sharing ❤😊
Good luck on your new health journey. I was doing keto for a few months and feel exactly the same way. I was so restrictive but now I’ve put all the weight back on. I can tell you have lost a lot of weight in your face already!
Hi Lisa! I do more protein and fat, low carb. Protein and fat are satiating. Protein is key. I have some butter in my coffee with a splash of heavy cream. I am not hungry until around 11:30 sometimes 12:30 just depends. I cannot count calories as all I do is think about food. Like you said portion control is important. And not eating in between meals is important.
I'm going through the exact same shift with food ATM. Straying away from keto and now calorie counting. I'm finding it more maintainable as I have variety and can still enjoy all food. Especially when you have a family, it's hard eating different at tea time. Trying to stick to serving sizes when eating chips, etc, with a movie. Good luck to us.
I’ve found using my fitness pal to track calories a really simple way to loose weight. About once a week I don’t track for a day and still loose weight and it doesn’t feel restrictive. Good on you for not giving up and trying something different :)
Great job! I agree everything in moderation. Food should not be looked at as a bad thing! I struggle with the same thing so I understand completely! But we have to live our life and not make food our enemy! Hang in there ❤
It's all good Lisa, I did keto and loved it. I stuck to it for a couple of months, and lost 5 ks, and then I rewarded myself the occasional cake or some other type of carb once a week, and I still continued to lose weight, and that was without even doing exercise. I'm still off the bread though, interestingly enough I haven't had heart burn since I stopped eating it, go figure 🤔🤷🏼♀️
Hi Lisa, OMG we have the Cicadas as well, so loud and frogs at night 😂. You’re looking great, you have inspired me to start walking again, thank you 🙏 another great vlog.
Hi Lisa, I wish you all the very best. I know Keto is very hard. Im glad you are doing a more natural approach. So happy for you that your sugar levels are going down naturally. You look radient. Love your videos because you are so lovely and down to earth, like talking to a friend. Thank you for always sharing and giving great tips. Wish you all the very best always❤
Hi Lisa, you are doing well don’t let this take over your life it’s all about balance. When I went to a dietitian Geraldine Georgeo she gave me a plane for pre diabetes the best bread she said was the helgers 9 grain, I’ll see if I can find the plan and I’ll email it to you give you some ideas if you like. Give me a few days to find it.keep up the great work.
Yes the desk I have is a standing one and I switch between standing and sitting throughout the day. Not sure I’d be coordinated enough to walk and type at the same time though lol

Yeah I’ve been trying to make some occasional low carb choices too as I generally enjoy lower carb foods as well

Yes I 100% agree! For me thats the biggest thing to learn is portion sizes..we can do this!

Yes thats what I have been using too. Its great!

That’s awesome lovely!!! Especially when you can lose weight and still be able to treat yourself every now and again
Hi Lisa, OMG we have the Cicadas as well, so loud and frogs at night 😂. You’re looking great, you have inspired me to start walking again, thank you 🙏 another great vlog.
OMG they are crazy right now.....my ears were all muffled this morning when I came in from my walk like I had just been to a rock concert
You have done amazing !
Thanks so much lovely

Peri menopause and menopause changes everything! It is so much harder to loose weight… everything in moderation too is important..
Oh absolutely I am finding this!!!
Keep up the good work Lisa, you are looking great 😊❤
Thanks so much sweet
Wishing you every success Lisa. For the hip discomfort, check out glute exercises. 🙂
yes I definitely need to stretch them out....I think I hold a lot of tension in my glutes

Thanks so much for the tip I’ll look out for that one next time I go shopping, I love helgas bread
cicada season!!!!!! can you get a standing desk and put a walking pad underneath? and just slowly walk and work for a few hours of the day
Yes the desk I have is a standing one and I switch between standing and sitting throughout the day. Not sure I’d be coordinated enough to walk and type at the same time though lol
@@LiveItLikeLisa some people are so skilled at it. i would fall straight off i get so dizzy
🎄🎅🎄TFS🎄🎅🎄
It does work well when it works but I just dont think I have the willpower to sustain it my whole life
💐❤
It’s all about portion size
Thats exactly what I need to learn.....my portions have been way to big for too long
Hi Lisa! :)

Hey Lisa I think just eat smaller healthy meals and going on walks would be a better sustainable option 😊
Exactly right......for me especially the walks are an absolute must
I can tell your face looks different Lisa already. Everyone different keto not right for you .
Thanks so much lovely xx
