For me, if I was extremely hungry, and I ate a piece of white bread, I would feel MORE hungry instead of less. It's mindboggling to me that people can have toast for breakfast and feel even an inch full. Or have a donut as a snack and feel satiation.

I'm not insulin resistance, not prediabetic. So what is the reason that only NOT eating carbs makes me (and I assume many here) feel full, but other people can eat a bowl of just pasta and feel satisfied.

I have binge eating disorder and severe carb and sugar cravings. I was assuming I was prediabetic or had severe PCOS but my results were

• Fasting insulin: 63 pmol/L
• Fasting glucose: 4.6 mmol/L
• HbA1c: 5.2%
• Progesterone: 33.2 nmol/L
• Estradiol (E2): 477 pmol/L

Anyway my FM doc was strongly against keto. Said it will ruin my metabolism long term and make it impossible for me to keep the weight off.

I said could I do low carb instead and they said no. This surprised me, why can't I atleast do low carb? They said it will hinder with my depression which is the main problem I am trying to treat.

Is this normal?

I met with a naturopath, they didn't really understand the anhedonia/pssd part but seemed open. Anyway I discussed wanting to do keto since some people have seen improvements in anhedonia/pssd through it but they said it will make my anhedonia worse.

I understand not having effect on anhedonia but how can it make it worse?

I am not insulin resistant or prediabetic but I am overweight and have huge sugar cravings. Eating carbs always make me hungrier. I also have anhedonic depression. My naturopath discouraged me a lot from keto eventhough the times I've done keto I've lost weight which helped my depression

Idk what do you think

Is it dangerous or is it helpful, what is your opinion?

I am 5'4 150-160 pounds (it's fluctuates). So I am considered "midsize". I tried halfourdeen and hinge and didn't get much luck. Guys ignoring me :( I'm not looking for a 6+ gigachad high earners. Most guys I have swiped on have been 5'6 with average jobs, some even less earners than mine because a guy being kind empathetic and nice to me is the most important thing.

Yet I keep getting no matches :( Tbf it's been 2 days but if I am going to be hit with rejection hitting my self esteem how can I continue? I already struggle with depression.

I know for a fact that they are guys in my size range, so how come I see less of their profiles?? Where is my looksmatch??? Don't tell me midsized guys are not even going on the apps because those are my only hope for finding someone

As for the question of why don't I lose more weight, I did. I was 220 pounds 2 years ago. Also, and this is not to discourage anyone to not lose weight okay, but this is a fact majority of people who lose weight will gain atleast half of it back within the next 2-5 years. Especially if I get pregnant. So I don't want to get to 120 pounds, find a guy, then gain the weight back and he lose attraction to me. I'd rather just find someone who likes me at this current size.

What could the problem be? I wear size medium, I don't think I look that horrendous. I have pretty other features. The only thing I can think of is because of the weight loss I kind of have loose skin under my chin. Because of years of binge eating my teeth are a bit busted but not that much. I have other pretty features to compensate. Overall I am not ugly I would say but average-cute if one can ignore the chin and teeth. Idk are guys really that picky? Once again I am not going for a gigachad 10/10 model, I am going for really average looking guys.

Is it just the way half our deen/hinge is set up? What am I going to do? I don't have that many friends, my family is cold and mean, if I don't find love I will have a miserable existance. My eman isn't that great and therapy isn't that helpful. I need romantic love or it's over for me

No amount of self-love replaces familial or romantic love. My family already hates me, if I don't get romance then I have nothing worth living for

Day 2 of Keto for me. I have multiple issues with food because of OCD and food noise, which both turn into binge eating disorder for carbs and sugar. I feel a ton of rumination about food, I can't seem to brush my mind of sugar. An hour ago I had leftover lamb with 2 fried eggs. This should be enough to keep me going but I'm constantly thinking of cookies my sister has in her room and ruminating about eating them. I'm finding it hard to disperse my thoughts because I keep thinking of eating sugar.

Because I have OCD and food noise, is it still possible for me to do keto? Will it get better?

I cannot go on a glp because they gave me terrible anhedonia which took months to recover, horrible experience

I wonder is binge eating disorder could also be a mouth microbiome issue. When I crave sugar I feel less because I'm hungry or because I need a treat, but more because my mouth "wants" it and I feel like my mouth has a brain of it's own and is telling me eat this or I'll give you distress

Carbonaut made me as hungry as wonder bread WTF...starving an hour later

Is there keto breads out there with ingredients that won't spike blood sugar at all and are truly keto?

Is a keto bread with wheat gluten still as bad as white bread or is there any benefit to it?

I've tried going no bread its not working

I eat a slide of keto rye bread that is not easy to chow down on it' own, but with butter and a fried egg becomes more palatable. What type of beef should I add to this breakfast to make it more satiating?

I don't like rare meats

Something like roast beef slices or what?

I'm month 18 still in withdrawal I could get kindled badly by a glp1...but withdrawal has given me intense sugar and hunger cravings i gained 20 pounds i hate looking at myself in the mirror looking at my body...i see other people so happy on glp1's changing their life why can't that be me

I am so disappointed by my bed therapy. Eat 5 meals a day, all food groups. Okay....but I massively overeat every meal. "No actually your body needs all that..." My body needs 3000+ calories a day?

How is this therapy if I gain weight and feel mentally worse and still binge

I'm month 18 of this hell, month 1-6 my appetite was gone and I lost a lot of weight (which was fine because I was obese) but now month 14 onward I've had these intense sugar cravings and hunger. Like intense so much

This can't just be the weight loss because I didn't have this month 7-13.

I'm gaining weight and these hunger and cravings driving me crazy

It's not enough withdrawal destroyed my brain but needs to destroy my body too

I wish I never took these poison pills completely ruined my life before I even hit 30

Ive always kinda delt with excess hunger and cravings but man this is crazy whats been happening to me past couple of months in this wave.

I have auch intense sugar and hunger and cravings I don't know how to cope with this

Universe just doesn't want me to healthy

Ingredients were: Water, golden ground flax, coarse rye meal, wheat gluten, yeast, sea salt

how come these triggered brain fog and bloating in me when garlic and onions and sugar doesn't?

I have methane

I have SIBO (methane) but usually eat everything and don't crash or get much symptoms.

Yesterday I tried to eat some keto bread to mitigate my bed (binge eating disorder) but I began feeling extremely bloated and today my anhedonia is worse.

Ingredients were: Water, golden ground flax, coarse rye meal, wheat gluten, yeast, sea salt

I don't know what to do because any SIBO treatments can severely crash people with PSSD (me)

I'm completely stuck
