Finally got my 3 month video update posted to YouTube! Although my video was 14 minutes 50 seconds and it says it can be 15 mins, for some reason when it uploads it changes it to 20 minutes and rejects it. Weird. So I had to split it into two parts again.
Hope you enjoy :) I talk about my dr's visit (3 month checkup), how it's going for myself and my hubby, lots of random stuff.
Christie, can you write a bit about your actual vs. head hunger? Wondering also if you are feeling full from the 6oz meals.
ReplyDeleteTaylor,
ReplyDeleteFor me I have experienced no head hunger, and very few cravings - I think they are quite similar. My hunger is timed with when I "should" be hungry, I eat my amount and I am full. I usually eat about 4 oz, 6 is very rare, and yes I feel comfortably full. I don't like to feel FULLLLLLL full anymore so I stop before that happens. Hope this helps!!
You're doing great! About the hair loss...I had a lot of hair loss last year. First off, I started the first 2-weeks of the South Beach Diet (very little carbs for 2 weeks, then you ease out of it). I started getting hot flashes during that time, which was odd! Then not much later, I got the swine flu and was very sick.
ReplyDeleteAt any rate, my hair started falling out in huge gobs about 3 months later. I mostly noticed it in the shower. My doctor said there was a good chance it was related to not enough carbs. I did do a web search on the subject and did see some hair loss associated with the Atkin's diet...so do you think that could be the case? I wouldn't think it would have to do with the amount of food necessarily, since you're eating a good amount, but maybe the carbs? Don't know. Just throwing it out there.
Luckily I have so much hair, it wasn't a huge deal (just scary when you see so much coming out) and it's thick again now, so there it did get better! :) Let us know how the shampoo helps. Someone recommended coconut oil to me a couple months ago (read on a board) and it is supposed to help grow hair too as as bonus to just keeping your hair really soft. Good stuff (and cheap).
Oh--sorry to blab, but I did have a bit of advice about the hair thing. When mine was falling out last year, it would happen after I wore a pony tail (so I stopped putting extra strain on my hair) and also it was worse in the shower (or so it seemed), so I was very gentle in showering and then would finish off my hair wash with cold water (closes the cuticle). It seemed like if I was good about that, the amount of hair coming off in the end was quite minimal.
Does the doc say when hair loss is supposed to stop for you? I would hate that part. ;)
Keep up the good work!
