I really expected last week having taken care of the trail mix that I would definitely lose this week. Throughout the week my weight stayed high - not once was I the weight that I logged in last Saturday. In the moment I was fairly puzzled.
Looking over the week - I think I know what is not working for me. It is the 'add-ons'. My add-ons are high in calories such as nuts and dates. It is terribly easy to suddenly add significant calories with a few small handfuls throughout the day.
As it happens tonight I will be in an eating 'minefield', so I will need to be particularly diligent.
This is two weeks of gaining. The total gain over the two weeks is 2.6 pounds. This is a trend that must be reversed this coming week. That amount sounds small however I am losing slightly less than a pound a week so to take it off will be 3 weeks plus the opportunity to lose this past two weeks it is like it put me back 5 weeks! I definitely am not just shrugging it off!
I guess I will see the results this up coming Saturday!

I have ditched my beloved pistachios for the moment as I was just eating too many and having a hard time cutting down the amount. I commend you for logging your gain...I was so angry at myself and defeated feeling I didn't even bother to log it. Onward and 'downward' we go!!!

Rckc- I get it on both fronts. I am not traditionally a big nut fan however as I have removed so many snacks it has become my go to. I really need to monitor it and maybe not have too many available to eat. The logging a gain- they are extremely tough but to not do it makes it easier to not look at it and somehow pretend it didn't happen. For me, that becomes a slippery slope. Of course, I wanted to not log it and it most certainly crossed my mind not to! I use it as a reality check - wishing I hadn't gained is not going to make the pounds go away! I do know the angry and defeated feeling though.

The simple act of logging every bite brings us back to mindfulness. Logging honestly, even on terrible days, has been my biggest helper.

Yes - nuts and dates are high sugar and high fat...

I have the same issue! Mixed nuts is my new go to snack when I need to stave off being hungry. It is far too easy to eat 5 or 6 handfuls instead of the one that you had planned on!🙁

yeah I'm doing no nuts this month I might have went a little nuts with nuts last month was off two weeks and they are so easy to go to when you have a tub of peanuts, cashews, and almonds and the calories add up FAST

Exactly! Nuts are so very good for you BUT in small doses. My doses are getting too big. Since I have cut dairy, flour and meat, my usual convenient go-to snacks are off the table. I have been exploring fruit for the sweet cravings ... a good choice but somehow not quite as easy to grab as a handful of peanuts or a date or 2 or 3! I will get there.

I’ve switched to fruit also. I clean a bunch of strawberries and have them ready to grab to make it easier

That is a smart idea Rckc. Our fresh fruit here (northern Alberta) can be somewhat iffy - apples are generally good. I bought some blackberries last week and they were moldy from the inside!!! Outside looked good. Prepping ahead of time is key! Using you as my inspiration, I think I will start cutting up an apple in the morning, sprinkle cinnamon on it and keep it in the frig to eat instead of nuts.

I’ve just “discovered” apples! Never ate them when I was low carb but am loving them dipped in PB2 (I mix with water to make consistency I want)

I do nuts every day -- but as a meal with a piece of fruit, NOT as a snack. My breakfast is a banana, 1/3 cup of almonds or pistachios or toasted edamame, and black coffee. Lunch will be a big leafy salad with another 1/3 cup of nuts and water. Calories stay around 300 for each meal. Snacking is killer. Just have a measuring cup out and eat directly from the cup, if eyeballing servings is throwing you off. I like to eat mine from a pretty blue ramekin (different sizes available on amazon).

Fresh fruit or veggies (when I want something salty) helps me stay away from dried fruit and nuts for snacking.

Shirfleur and Just Bananas - both of you have given me excellent suggestions. I will consider the measuring cup and I really need to find a calorie wise but satisfying go-to for the just before bed moment. That is generally the snack challenge and sometimes late afternoon but that is more a moment of transition- finishing up something and not ready to start something else so I head to the kitchen for a snack!

Rckc - I find it is all about finding the kind of apples you like. I am partial to Granny Smith - firm, crisp and tart! I don't like mushy apples.

Be careful with the measuring cup...I've found weighing is much more accurate. Best example I have is peanut butter. I was eating almost twice what I thought when measuring vs weighing!

Rckc - I have taken your advice to heart! I am weighing the nuts. And I have cut up an apple and put it in the frig ready for snacking that way I won't go for the nuts!

You have done so well for so long! A little blip that probably won't take so very long to sort out. Frozen blueberries for me! Low cal and take a while to eat... On or two at a time on a spoon! Somehow a snack that helps me. For Sue enot as satisfying as nuts or even fresh fruit, but during the winter nice even if too cold!

Wonderful idea Melissatwa! I am cutting up and sprinkling cinnamon on two apples each morning. The cinnamon keeps it from turning brown. I am weighing out the nuts in the morning and putting them in a dish so when it is gone, it is gone. Last night I left both a bit of apple and a bit of nuts. Just felt good knowing I could if I wanted! I know I will sort it out - I just want to get on it right away before it piles up on me. I don't want to wipe out weeks of hard work in a few days!
