Liquid drink is going to be much easier on your insides

I haven't had a GI workup, but that's not the problem. I've always had a metabolism that let me eat anything I wanted without packing on weight. The first week I started tracking the foods I eat so I would have a baseline for "watching my carbs", and this was before I started a regular exercise program, my calorie intake was a low of 1681 and a high of 3277 per day. With 4 of the 7 days being over 2400, and I wasn't putting on weight. At least not noticable weight. You may disagree but I think that a pound a year is not a problemic rate of weight gain.

Now that I've cut the carbs from an average of 328 per day to an average of 120 +/- per day, the calorie count has come down to 1000 - 1200 and there are days I have to work at hitting 1000. I like chicken and salads and veggies, so giving up the pepsi and fried foods has really, really cut into the calorie totals. And the only "low fat" thing I buy is yogurt. And again I like the Bryers no fat yogurt, so it's a matter of taste. I eat it with cereal for bkfst instead of milk. One of the few concessions that I've made is to cut out 90% of the bread. I now have chicken salad without the bread, or a chicken philly without bread. But again that is a minor change, it was the FF and pepsi that added the carbs and calories to the meal before. I'm working on it. Last week I added a bit here and there. Breakfast is up to 259 calories and 50 carbs without changing the BG levels. Now to work on lunch.

So, yeah I'm still losing. And there is only so many "fatty" foods that I can eat before I get sick. So, yeah it's a different problem than most of you have, but it's a problem for me. Judy, you'd probably be a good candidate for those liquid nutritional booster foods that they recommend for the elderly, the chronically ill, and sometimes even for kids who are nutritionally challenged and underweight.

Since you're losing weight you don't have to lose (and I assume your doc has done a full GI work-up on you along with appropriate blood tests, etc, to make sure you don't have some other issue going on), then a nutritionist could guide you in how to boost your calorie level without resorting to high fat or high levels of sweeteners. Any liquid drink is going to be much easier on your insides, too, and may even soothe things. I'm going to the internet now to research this, and if I find out anything, I'll post the info. You never know who might need some alternatives to regular food, for whatever reason.
