low carb app support
Hi. I’ve been following a low carb diet. I’m not sure what happened, but initially I adjusted my allowabl carbs in the app and now the app seems to be adding carbs to my daily plan. Any suggestions how to hold it static? This seems to be switching lately, I hadn’t noticed it previously.

Looking for some low carb MFP friends

Out of ketosis, may have overdone it...
I made a deal with my doc that I'd only do 4 months of ketosis, and then get out. So, as of last night, I'm regretably out of Ketosis... I want nothing more than to get back to it. I miss the improved energy, focus, and lack of hunger. But, a deal's a deal. I'm still going to do low-carb, but doc says a minimum of 90 grams…

Leg Cramps
I've been on low carb food plan since May. Have been getting leg cramps at night more frequently. Last evening I went off my food plan, and we had Chinese food. Wow, had wicked leg cramps, not just the typical "Charlie Horses" either, although had those; but it was the muscles on the top of my feet, going part-way up my…

Question on Ketosis?
I am just wondering. If you eat something you are not supposed to OR if you overdo it on the carbs and it knocks you out of ketosis; how long does it take before you KNOW you are out? If you pee on a ketostick, how soon after eating will it knock you out? I bought some low carb breads and bagels and have been trying them…

Zucchini "spaghetti"
I made some angel hair "spaghetti" tonight with my julienne tool and a zucchini and topped it with a quick meat sauce and some freshly grated parm. I'm not going to lie and say it was the same as the real thing, but it was pretty darn satisfying. Shredding up the zucchini was quicker than boiling pasta and I just added the…

Freezing again!
23 degrees and I'm ready to wear artic survival gear, when a year ago I would have gone out in that barefoot, with a t-shirt and sweatpants! I thought that coming out of ketosis would have eliminated the "always cold", but I'm going to go see my doc (who's also my boss) but I figured I'd share and see if anyone else is…

Gym membership in the winter?
So, I may have to bite the bullet and get a gym membership... I LOVE to do cardio outdoors. I don't care if I'm running, walking, etc... I like to feel the fresh, outdoor air. But here's my problem... Ever since losing most of the weight, I'm almost always cold! Even in my own house at 67 degrees while wearing…

23 days to D-Day, need ideas to lose ten lbs in 22...
Event #1: My 20th HS reunion. I'm comfortable with how I look now, but another ten would make me feel GREAT! (and get me out of "overweight range" completely as well as within five lbs of my final goal) Event #2: An athletic competition where the competition uniforms are... better suited to those without love handles. And…

MFP is ticking me off
While I realize that they're a business, they need better programming than they've got. IE, a person on Atkins who is a self-described/admitted pizza-holic shouldn't see an ad for stuffed crust when editing their own profile:

I was weak, I was ashamed, I ate some pizza...
Long story short, at my office Halloween party for the kids they were serving my favorite pizza in the world. I had to cut it up for my three year old, and ended up eating a few slices of cheese sheet pizza. When I got home 45 minutes later I immediately went for a walk/run for over an hour, and followed it up with 20…

Breyers Low Carb Ice Cream?
Good morning! I wanted to ask if anyone has had any experience with the Breyers "Carb Smart Ice Cream" products. Are they harmless fun, or a wolf in sheep's packaging?

Hooray, we're all going to burn (according to a nutjob)
Okay, I have no idea why "Crackers" Robertson is on a rampage (and suddenly an MD, apparently) about it, but we low-carbers are apparently ticking off God... I just found it confusingly funny, and hey, if Pat is against it then it sounds like it must be the right thing to do!…

Freezing...
I'm overjoyed to be losing weight, but I've noticed that I'm getting REALLY cold in what I would have considered "brisk" temperatures just a few months ago. I used to sleep most of the year in a t-shirt and shorts, but last night it was cool, not cold, and I hauled my comforter out of summer storage and slept in long…

Stall
I was doing so well, and then I have stalled out for the past two weeks. I have been under my calorie goal every day...I think I may need to give up sugar alcohols for a bit to see if that is what is doing it...disappointed :(

Equal
So equal is my sweetener of choice- love it in my coffee. I had cut it out and replaced it with Stevia when I started out on MFP a month ago, because I was looking for somewhat of a more natural alternative. I definitely do not enjoy the taste of it as much as I do equal, but was kind of getting used to it. Last week, I…

vacation and staying on track
We are leaving on vacation in the morning with a few other couples. We went to Sam's and bought food and I am going to give it my all to stay on track. We have a kitchen and a grill in our condo so that will for sure help. One thing I like about this way of eating is that there are usually several good choices when eating…

Breakfast Idea's
So I can't bring myself to eat eggs right now. I've been eating them so often that the thought of eating another one is making me sick. But I have no idea what to do for breakfast now. I have to go grocery shopping Wednesday so maybe I can get a few more ideas.

Introducing myself
Hi my name is Marie, I am 42 and a mom of 5 with varying ages (22-3). I have done low carb before with success but didn't stick with it long enough. This my 2nd try at MFP I had a bad experience prior with very negative and down right rude people. I'm always hearing rave reviews about MFP so I figured I'd give it one more…

carb cravings
I was looking through several people's diaries looking for food ideas...and I noticed a lot of people on the low carb support group are still eating high carb foods even though they are keeping low on their calories. It is impossible to control the cravings for carbs unless you more or less "kick them to the curb" for a…

keto sticks
Do any of you use keto sticks? I bought some to challenge myself. Is there a certain time of day that is better than another to use them?

excercise
I wanted to post this topic because I know a lot of us are on tight schedules and have limited time to fit in exercise. What are good exercises to do that burn a good amount of calories in a short amount of time? I know swimming is good, but with all the rain, I would like to come up with a few more good exercises that…

small victories
I just wanted to share a small victory with everyone. I went back to doing low carb 2 weeks ago. I have since lost 6 lbs. and several inches. I was getting teased yesterday at the coffee shop about my pants being too big...they were my smallest pair in my closet. I went up to the attic this morning to find the "small"…

Counting Carbs Vs. Counting Calories
hey, this is my first day back on atkins sine i've switched to low calorie. I know where supposed to count carbs instead of calories on atkins so realistically your calories are gonna go up. I customized my Food diary to lower my carbs but what do I do if I exceed my calories since i'm not really counting them? I don't…
