Need advise regarding UUAD
So, I had a good breakfast consisting of egg and turkey salad on oopsie rolls and then I have fallen into bucket of roasted almonds with honey and another bucket of yogurt with honey and than I was in apple orchard heaven, bringing my total calories way over 4000.
I am not too happy to start a new month with UUAD ![]() I am debating weather I should stay with increased DD calories or do 5:2 or 4:3. I am pretty much at the goal. Actually, everyone is telling me I should not loose anymore weight, that I am starting to look too skinny. I know it shows on the my face the most, but I still have belly I would like to get smaller. I would be the most comfortable between 115-118 lb, to have little cushion. I have hormonal binges every month (around ovulation and then for 10 days before TOM), so I know I need that cushion. I was wondering which method is better to keep SIRT flowing plus to help with binges: -Doing regular rotation but with higher DD calories -5:2 or 4:3. If I choose these- should I stick with regular JUDD calories? I don't know why am I so afraid of 5:2. Maybe I should start with 4:3 for a month with fixed MWF as DD. I don't want this binging monster make me quit JUDD again. So I think a new month, is a good time to get this under control. What do you suggest ?

I'm really happy with 5:2, but I don't have binging issues. Linda (Beeb) is finding success with 5:2 as well, and finding it to help with the binging. I don't really know what to tell you though.
![]() I use my JUDDD numbers with 5:2.

![]() I haven't reviewed your menus, are you getting enough fat and protein otherwise. Higher DDs actually make me want higher UDs, but that's just me. ![]()

TBLC, you're just experiencing what we all do from time to time. Let today be what it is - an UUAD, and then start again tomorrow. I don't know what to tell you about how to manage your calories, or how to best retain the sirtuin benefits. Hopefully someone way more knowledgable will chime in soon. In the meantime

So I just took a large piece of paper and did all the variation on 5:2, 4:3, combo of 5:2 and 4:3, regular rotation with higher DD calories and this is what comes down to:
UD 1600, DD 500 cal
I will be starting my experiment on Monday. So my rotation will look like this: M-DD, T-UD, W-DD, TH-UD, F-DD, S-UD, SUN-UD, M-DD, T-UD, W-UD, TH-DD, F-UD, S-UD, SUN-UD

well, Marika, I would say you are addicted. I can understand, as nuts are delicious, and wholesome-just like honey and apples. have you tried the supplements here that others say help with cravings?
here are a few thoughts-1.could you allow yourself 3/4 cups of nuts twice a day on your UDs-in place of meals, leaving you around 300 calories for the rest of the day? Until you've had your fill. I used to be addicted to baby corn, and would eat it out of the can( i know, yuck) after doing this for a while, i became sick of it, now I am nauseated when i even smell baby corn. 2. Could you substitute sunflower seeds in there shells, more time consuming, less calories 3. are you getting enough magnesium in your diet and othe minerals 4 hypnosis(i know someone this actually workded for with chocolate cravings.)

![]() Although I keep honey in the house and I like it on yogurt, I don't seem to overdo it. Not sure why, but happy I guess. I have UUADs too, and the beauty of any IF plan is, you always have tomorrow to get it back together. ![]() S.

Your plan sounds great and I would love to hear how it works, however the only thing that would help me with this issue is NOT KEEPING ANYTHING I might over eat on IN THE HOUSE!
This is how I have pretty successfully dealt with the sleepwalk eating. This would be much easier for you since you could keep most foods in the house, but try not keeping nuts, honey and yogurt around. We literally go to the store 5 nights a week to get what we need. It sounds extreme, but I weigh 125 today thanks to not keeping anything I could sleep eat in the house. HTH.

Have you ever tried Wasabi Peas? They have them at most grocery stores, either in the nut section or the asian section. They are *hot* and a little goes a long way. You can have 55 for 130 calories. I've had a can that's supposed to have 10 servings for about 2 months or more. I've had way more than 10 servings too.

Marika you and I are so similar. Nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts...love them... can't keep them in the house but I keep falling in the self serve buckets in the supermarket. My UD and DDs are easier now - I think the SIRT1 has kicked in and I'm not as bad on my UD's as I was initially so I am loathe to change my daily rotation in case it halts the SIRT1 progress - I've come this far. I will watch your progress with interest. Like you I only have a little bit to lose - everyone tells me to not lose anymorel but I'm going overseas in July and I want some wriggle room.
We may be allergic to nuts and that's why we crave them. Only solution is cold turkey........................ |

That had occurred to me, reading your posts.
Dr Richard Mackarness discovered what he called "masked allergies" in people who didn't have allergic symptoms but craved what they were actually allergic to. His book "Not all in the Mind" was an eye-opener for me. I highly recommend it. |

Flossy it says that book is out of print, he died in 1996, I will have to source the library but what an amazing person! He seemed to be way ahead of his time suggesting low carb in the 50's. He donated proceeds from the book to Chemical Victims.
I wouldn't be surprised if I'm allergic to nuts and dairy. I found out I was allergic to eggs and have avoided them; and eggs, dairy, wheat and nuts are the main allergens. I crave greek yoghurt, coffee with cream and nuts. This will truly be harder than giving up sugar/wheat as I have. I miss eggs and omelettes though. |

Yep, I am guilty. Nuts are my heroin. Raw pumpkin seeds, pecans, mac nuts & walnuts. I believe this became more apparent to me when I JUDDD because on UD, I went to town.
![]() I suggest to only bring nuts in shell home. This will mean work to eat and you can't just grab a handful. You will have to take the time to crack and shell before eating. I learned this from paleo peeps, who seem to have this same addiction. Or as Carly recommended, NO nuts in the house. It seems that we all have our weaknesses and if it takes not having them in the house, that is the best answer for cure. I so empathize with you sis. ![]()

Sunday, there is no way I could keep nuts in the house. We can keep chocolate. biscuits, crisps at home and I have no interest in them. When I want nuts I head on to the supermarket, or if I'm already there and they call me with such a sweet melody I can't resist. It's because I see them as a healthy food, and not junk that it messes me, or I'm severely addicted to them. Only way for me is cold turkey, like I have done for most other SAD foods.
As for shells - you haven't seen me shelling pistachios - worthy of a gold medal, I have it down to an art form Yes I agree, it was the OK to eat on UD's that got me going to town on fruit and nuts. I barely touched them in the past 12 months, apart from the occasional apple or berries. I'm doing this for another month to get as much weight off as possible and then I'm transitioning into maintenance. I'm not sure if I will raise the DD's (will that still cause the UD gluttony-before-famine response) or whether just plain old calorie counting at maintenance with the occasional weekly IF lean gains style thrown in for health reasons Last edited by mojocat; 03-03-2013 at 07:50 PM.. |

mojo, That is a sweet melody that I know so well. I guess it is the same as sugar or cookies may be to some folks? I don't like sugar, wheat or grains.
I have to think of nuts as illicit until I am able to figure this out. ![]() Such a shame and although I know it is my vice, I still long for the taste.

A quick check showed me that Amaxxn UK has 18 2nd-hand copies of Not all in the mind for sale from 1p + postage. If you can't find it in your lbrary, you might want to try A's US site. Looking at the things you crave, I notice they're high fat (unless it's fat-free Greek yogurt!). Have you been eating low fat for a long time? Could it be the vitamin D or some minerals your body's asking for? |
