You are in Member Communities . Dear renee51, One way to look at your last couple of years is that you learned a lot about what works for you and what doesn t.
Severe restriction can be pretty hard.
It works for a few people, but not for most, so you are not unusual in finding that it doesn t really help much with weight and can have other negative effects. You asked for some resources on nutrition. There are excellent ones out there. I ll give you some ideas of some things you can check out on the web. I d avoid the popular diet books and think instead of a healthy eating guide by the American Heart Association, Weight Watchers, or some other trusted group.
