Thank you for your response doctor! Am assuming that you have no suggestions for bypass patients? I had mine some time ago when I couldnt lose on 500 cal a day, somewhat like grammy from what I understand of her situation. I felt like I had no other option. I still have a way to go in terms of getting healthy and was hoping the reset would help my body to start functioning normally regarding food processing.

So how long have you been following the rules, if you dont mind sharing? By The Rules do you mean meal timing, little carbs etc? And if you havent had "success", do you find that you can eat 1500 cal a day occasionally and not gain? Do you sleep well? If you had inflammation did that improve? Thanks so much!

MissRed, I encourage you to keep doing your homework and find out what is best for you. Ask questions from people who have done the things you are considering. Make sure you ask women not just men.

There are many theories out there, but you want to find what has actually worked for people.

I have maintained fairly well in between rounds. I just finished another round 3 weeks ago, and immediately went back to the leptin reset version. I do correction days, though.

In general, I think Dr Kruse's rules just make good sense. I function better when I eat a big protein breakfast, when I keep carbs low, when I don't eat late at night, and when i get s good night's sleep. I would guess most people do, as it really helps our bodies regulate themselves.

I always eat more than 1500 calories. Inflammation is down, energy is up, and sleep is better. I have a lot of food sensitivities and leaky gut, so I am working on those issues, as well. All the pieces keep fitting together.

Whereas I like protein at every meal especially breakfast, what I found is that 50g of protein is not a good idea for me after all. What I have read is that once you get over 30g your body turns it into glucose-- something we were trying to avoid.

I wound up gaining 10 lbs on the Reset following the rules exactly. After I reached the 10 lb mark, I couldn't see myself doing it anymore. I had worked hard to lose the weight and was not happy watching that all just vanish.
