[QUOTE="FireDragon76, post: 77650055, member: 330042"] My sleep could have been better last night. I don't think the IKEA bed is working out, and may have to return a mattress for a heavier model. Just too many pressure points during the night, it irritates my IT band particularly on my left side. My S.O. who is alot lighter than me has slept on the bed, thinks its fine. If I were a back sleeper, it might not be such a big deal, but I sleep on my side. Losing another ten pounds could probably also help. My weight loss has slower to a crawl, however, and I'm losing about a half pound a month. Even though I am in low grade ketosis, I'm eating too much fat in my diet so most of the fat being burned is from diet. Protein bars probably account for most of that, I have been eating one or two a day some days. I've been trying to substitute eating plain oatmeal instead. Given my basal metabolic rate is so low (around 1400), it's hard to get the basic recommended intake of protein at that level, just from eating a strictly whole foods diet. I've also been cutting back on exercise to give my body a rest, and that's probably slowed weight loss. I'll probably just try going back to a "clean" diet and see what happens. I think it just shows that the emerging evidence that processed foods contribute to weight gain is probably true, and if you want to lose weight, you should probably avoid them. Even foods that are made from relatively healthy ingredients can make weight loss more difficult if the foods are calorically dense. [/QUOTE]
