I am looking for one.
Since my 20's, I have had to keep calorie intake around 1200 calories. Back then, I could exercise and did a lot of jogging (almost daily) and did a lot of hiking with my husband and three sons. With that level of activity, I could consume 1200 calories, if the calorie intake crept up, so would the weight.
At 1200 calories, the question was, am I taking in enough nutrition for healthy living.
I went around and around with one of my physicians about my weight gain..... he raked me over the coals about my wicked ways.....(What a nerve....) He sent me to a nutritionist..... I kept a diary before I went to the first appt and including everything.... down to glasses of water and brand of tooth paste. She would not charge me for the appt after an hour because the only thing she would have recommended was for me to eat more meat, and not decrease any other food stuff.
Medical tests were run for thyroid and other medical problems. Yes, I have hypothyroidism,but it is treated.
Well over the years, I am in my 60's now, the weight has crept up and the only time I lost was in the throws of undiagnosed celiac "disease" problems -- diarrhea -- I lost 30 pounds in two months, once on a gluten-free diet, the diarrhea stopped and the weight crept back on. At that time, I was taking in 500 calories a day because the diarrhea was so bad.
Well, I need to go back to the drawing board, I need to count calories again (I had that down to a science 30 years ago) and I want a tool that will do a good job and not consume my time.
Any suggestions?????
Thank you in advance. June :Sign Please:
