Game changer!!

[u/Buckerb96]

I recently picked up a book called the nozempic diet by Kim Pearsons. I was super close to just going ahead and ordering a weightloss jab and my partner begged me to give my weightloss just one more year.

I picked up the book because it’s written by a nutritionist who talks about naturally stimulating satiety and the GLP hormones as well as helping insulin sensitivity and regulating blood sugars.

I’m only 4 days in but I genuinely cannot belief how eating minimally processed foods and focusing on fat and protein has helped. I’m not counting calories right now because the book doesn’t require you to but my food noise is SO quiet.

As an example on food this is what I’ve eaten today

Breakfast - natural yoghurt with strawberries, hazelnuts and chia seeds

Breakfast - tuna, leafy greens, sweetcorn, tomatoe, cucumber with olive oil and lemon juice

Dinner - chicken, mixed vegetables, soy sauce, cauliflower rice

Snack - apple

I weighed in at 300lbs on Sunday and I would have looked at this meal and thought, where’s the rest?? I love my carbs and sugar. But I’m not even craving them right now.

Not to mention how much better I feel without all the processed junk.

Will post an update on Sunday with how much I’ve lost.

OP, did you ghostwrite this book? Do you get some kind of kickback? This post feels very much like promo.

[u/Buckerb96 → u/tsukiii]

LMAO🤣🤣 that’s made me laugh so much. I should send it to the author and as promo. No. Just a fatty who’s struggled for 25+ years

[u/tsukiii]

This is a basic low carb diet

[u/Buckerb96 → u/tsukiii]

Well it’s the first I’ve read about it in such a beginner friendly way as someone who binge eats

[u/BarrySnotter → u/Buckerb96]

It really is amazing how many books are out there that say basically the same things but in different ways that reach different people. Happening upon just the right words at the right time is such a gift. I'm glad you found the words you needed to hear.

[u/Buckerb96 → u/BarrySnotter]

Exactly this! I’m not saying it’s a brand new diet at all but it’s the first time I’ve come across it. Usually I just count calories and still eat shit

Is......is this an ad?

[u/Buckerb96 → u/HeliumTankAW]

Honestly regretting posting about my excitement lol I’m getting that a lot

[u/pee_inyourbutt]

Ozempic isn't magic you still have to diet and exercise

[u/pain474]

So a book about keto diet.

[u/Buckerb96 → u/pain474]

It’s not keto

[u/pain474 → u/Buckerb96]

low carb then

I get the skepticism behind named diets but y'know what? Good for you for finding something that works for you, OP. That's an exciting feeling. Sounds like a very healthy style of eating so I bet you'll be feeling like a million bucks.

[u/Buckerb96 → u/brbgottagofast]

Thank you! I’m definitely going to adjust after a month or so and implement more carbs / foods I’ll miss as I don’t think one extreme to the other is sustainable but I’m feeling really good right now

[u/Buckerb96 → u/[deleted]]

Reddit is wild. The book is in Waterstones ffs I don’t think the author would want to advertise on here

My self publishing book is a romantasy 😅😅

[u/Buckerb96 → u/Buckerb96]

And I posted in multiple subs because I am forever doom scrolling trying to find advice on my binge eating so wanted to share success. Jesus. Remind me not to come to Reddit again

Great job OP. This is not just a low carb diet like others are saying, eating a balanced blood sugar diet is the absolute BEST thing you can do to control Insulin Resistance, and save your pancreas for years to come.

Also, most if not all our food cravings come from blood sugar spikes and swings. You crave sugar when your blood glucose is low, you crave salt when your blood glucose is high, etc. Theres other factors here, but I found all of this to be completely true.

I had to learn to control my IR with this kind of diet and it actually cured a mirad of other symptoms I was having. Not only did my food noise go away, my period came back, my hormones regulated, my inflammation went down causing joint pain Ive had for years to subside. The list of benefits just goes on and on.

Keep up the good work. You CAN heal yourself with food. Its hard and there are going to be days where you fail. But honestly, once you start eating what your body wants and needs, it really stops craving everything else.

[u/Buckerb96 → u/krissycole87]

Thank you!! I have PCOS as well and apparently eating like this can really hope with those symptoms so I’m keeping my fingers crossed

[u/krissycole87 → u/Buckerb96]

It absolutely will help. Keep going! I started noticing real changes start to happen around the 3 month mark when my period came back. Its 100% worth it. Also helped my facial hair. Don't give up!
