Hi,
Back after a couple of months, and I am thrilled : I caught nearly all the weight loss, so everything is back to normal
I also stay stable with my healthy weight
So I stopped being sick all the time, I'm not short of breath any more and I have no need to wear a sweat-shirt or even a fleece at night to sleep
And with some increasing gradually the quantities while diminishing the stress, I don't feel the discomfort, borderline pain any more
I made three important changes for the time I needed to put on weight :
1) a high, even very high calories diet (lot of cream, butter, oil.... Now I've diminished the amount of it, but I keep the habit of full milk instead of low fat or non fat milk)
2) I cut caffeine, or I greatly diminished it (a glass of coca-cola with caffeine once in a while is ok, but 1-1,5 liter is a no no !! If I crave for coca, I go to buy the caffeine free version)
3) plenty of sleep (9 to 10 hours/day)
This is what my GP thought, and what I also thought : stress is a powerful appetite suppressant for me (whereas my friends eat sweets between meals while under stress, I am the whole contrary of them). There is no allergy problem, I eat everything (if there were an allergy or a food intolerance, the changes I made wouldn't have had any effect on my body) but I keep a healthy weight
My only problem now is starting back some exercise without losing weight, and also finding some means not to lose weight with Ritalin (for my ADHD), since Ritalin suppresses appetite (at 5mg/day, it diminishes my appetite, but I fear for the time when I'll be at 10 : I have no will to lose weight and feel ill like how I felt when I was too thin !!).
=> Any idea ? Apart from doing
The Biggest Loser (which I don't absolutely need !!, :P )
