... A year ago I returned to normal weight (BMI under 25), and stayed under the entire time. Congratulations, Ig. Keeping the weight off for a year is a big deal, so pat on the back! My weight loss history and photos: http://igor.chudov.com/weightloss/ I'm just going to check your web site... I ate same portions every day. I'm curious - does that mean that you eat the same food every day, or the same portion sizes every day? My blood pressure after the switch is now lower by about 5-7 points, from 125/75 to about 118/75. My second and concurrent speculation is that now, my blood sugar is rock solid stable, and in fact relatively low (70-80, rarely 90). That is great, but just one thing - will you check your cholesterol levels? A good idea would be to get a medical check up, at least some blood work done. If anything else, it will probably comfirm you're doing fine! My hypothesis (speculation) is that I am insulin resistant, eating carbs makes me overproduce insulin, and gain weight. This is the case with me. Less unhealthy carbs - less weight, even if I eat more fat. It took me several years to figure that out. Actually, I haven't figured that out until I got some help from my GP (who became a registered nutritionist in the meantime), who knew my medical history, and based on that suggested this approach to me. This is why I think (hope) that going with the same approach as I did the last time around will be helpful (it wasn't his fault that I wasn't paying attention to his advices after I gave birth, after all - that's all mea culpa ;-) I am now more optimistic than at start of my weight maintenance and think that I will have a few years of normal weight, at least. I'm wishing you many, many years of normal weight!
