Anyone Noticed That There Are Practically No Stalling Foods On Juddd?

Joedi · 11-13-2011, 12:49 PM

I have just been browsing the main boards, and was struck by the amount of things that people feel stall their weightloss.

When I started Atkins, I remember worrying that my daily piece of sugar free gum would "Stall" me!

In fact there were long threads debating whether s/f gum did cause stalls or not, and similar ones for dairy, cheeses, nuts etc
(As I never lost weight on Atkins,

I couldn't share an opinion either way!)
I never did understand how just a few nuts, or 4 calories worth of gum could stall weightloss...some claimed that even a few bites of a certain food would stop their weighloss point blank.
All I can think of is that they may have put on a little water weight...but surely fat loss would have continued?

I have noticed that on juddd, the only mention of stalls come when the juddder has been over-doing their calories!
Oh..and, rebel that I am...I never count my daily stick of s/f gum...not even on a DD!

hugs

GORGEOUS new avatar picture, Jo!

And I know what you're talking about. I read over there and just think.... SERIOUSLY?????

I'm so used to people here at JUDDD reporting so much weight loss and having so much fun eating all their food choices, low carb choices as well as all the *other* stuff besides.

It just gets sort of depressing to read much over there.

You certainly do!

And you will have it forevermore! Yay, JUDDD.

Joedi, I love your new avatar, too! You're beautiful.

Pat, I agree about the main lobby. Post after post about stalling and what little thing may have caused it is very depressing! There are a lot of frustrated people over there! I had my share of stalls while low carbing, as well.

JUDDDing is so freeing to me. And I think about all the yummy things I have eaten and will continue to eat. I don't worry about my stick of gum either and whether it will derail me

our beautiful, HOT Jo!!

Great pic!!!

And yes, it saddens me to see so many avoiding food, good healthy food, whole food groups, tasty, wonderful foods because of fear of a stall or slowed weight lose.

With JUDDD there are not fears, at least not to me and being able to eat anything I want is a

and has made me forever

to JUDDD!

that's great! it's true that many people look too hard for patterns where they aren't there and blame various foods for "stalls." it's mostly nonsense, but I guess some people are happier with those limitations, if it makes them feel like they have more power over the situation. good luck!

Great post & great observation!

And I love your new pic, Jo - so pretty!!!

Yes, I was losing so slow on LC that I worried about stalls from my from pork rinds, deli meats, cheese, milk, so on and so forth.

Here on JUDDD, I have no stalling foods, only stalling calories if they go too high.

Lol I remember standing in the drug store comparing gum brands
Thinking, seriously? Have I become THAT person that sweats it over a lousy
Piece of four calorie gum??? How did this happen??

You know, I've definitely noticed that! I used to think so many different foods stalled me when I was low carbing, but then I stubbornly tried those foods again while JUDDDing and I'm not talking small amounts either, and they didn't stall me at all! I'm starting to think if I keep to my calories for both DDs and UDs, that it doesn't matter what I eat (aside from the few things I'm allergic or sensitive to) and I'll continue to lose. It's so completely liberating and exciting!

This is exactly what is true for me!
