Hi everyone
I personally don't mind reading about any kind of food. But this is me. I have to deal with food every day at work. And it is all kind of food we are not allowed to have on VLCD. I only add that this is a bakery, where I work and we also sell all take away hot dishes you could imagine.
But as I wrote: this is me. I am used to it.
Exante is TFR diet. This is to replace ALL food for a while. To keep it away from us. To stop us thinking about and want it for a while. And yes, the best, most yummy, and desired one is what we can not have when we are on this diet. There is a little bit joy left for us on AAMW and it's all good, ketogenic stuff we can eat. Everyone knows about it pretty well.
Before we started this diet, we did some research. Most of us know what's packed with carbs, fat, calories. We all know what is forbidden. And the best and easiest way not to dream about this kind of food is just cut it off from our life, for a while, as much as we can. To stop talking about it, to stop thinking about it, to stop reading about it.
Everyone has good days, when feels strong. But also some days are really hard. When it's not easy, we struggle not to fall off the exante wagon. So, what we do? We try to distract ourselves, we come here, to this forum, exante forum, to find all the support needed, reading posts, talking to people who goes through the same. We try to support each other as much as we can. And 10/9 it does work.
I personally can't see the reason for another sticky thread "questions about food'. This is just my opinion.
If someone is looking for AAM recipes, ketogenic food, what is allowed to drink, there are threads about it. So which kind of food would be the questions about then? Things we can't have on this diet?
Would it help anyone? To think, talk, maybe see pics of things which can not have at all? For what? If someone is missing this kind of food, it's enough to turn on tv, buy a food magazine, go to the shop and there is plenty to dream about in there.
I don't think we need such a thread.
And I don't think it would help or do any good to someone, who is not as strong as some of us are.
Again. This is total food replacement diet. We are slimming here and this is what we should focus on.
As I wrote before, this is my opinion. I can read about anything. But 8/10 of us dieters is struggling everday to stay 100%TS.
Please, everyone, if you are strong, that's cool. But help those who is not.
Love
