What you might be overlooking in your weight loss goal is the profound effect that stress has on your ability to achieve that. What I’m speaking about specifically is how common it is for meal choices and times to weigh heavily on so many of us…yes us because I’ve been there too. Having experienced zero carb to vegan AND eating 6 measured meals daily to full day fasts I understand your struggles. I’ve worried about what to do with an extra ounce of chicken and eating during a fasting period. What I learned from these experiences is that weight loss was painstaking, didn’t last and had other adverse side effects like irritability, amenorrhea and sleeplessness. The culprit here is stress and its hormonal counterpart, cortisol. Like all hormones cortisol is valuable but must be kept in balance because an abundance of it is detrimental to your body and its ability to drop weight. A simple solution that will become easier with practice is to drop the unnecessary weight of the decision in order to drop the unwanted pounds from your body.
