I have tried to explain to people what is like to be hungry all the time no matter what you do. AT one point I was 265 pounds and getting bigger. I did cut out sodas and it helped me lose weight. I am to 201 now and I do run 3 to 5 miles 3 days a week and bike the other days the weight comes right back. I was sick all last winter and in May I was 235. I take Ozempic 2mm shots and Metformin twice a day. I measure every thing I eat. and if I break the routine one day like on Thanksgiving I pay for it for a week because the weight comes right back over a few days. The struggle I have drags me down. I would like to have a beer or a burger every now and then but any thing with carbohydrates just make the weight pile on. The food noise in my head is deafening. It is all I think about. My doctor said the Ozempic would quiet the noise but it has done nothing.
Are you on a low carb diet? If so, gained weight after consuming carbs is probably mostly water. Google glycogen storage.
Envious of the people with good metabolisms who can practically eat everything in one day and gain maybe...1 pound.
Feels like anything I eat I'm going to gain like 10 pounds despite how light it was.
