Substitutes for artificial sweeteners
I can’t eat anything with sweeteners and with sugar alcohols and I hate the taste of Stevia and monk fruit. Any suggestions for yogurt. I hate Greek yogurt too. I have bad GERD and these upset my stomach.

My question is…Do I really need to focus on my macronutrients in order to lose weight? I either go over on my carbs, or fat, and never eat all my protein amount. I stay at or under my daily calories but my macros are making me feel like a failure. Thank you for any and all responses. Candy

Could you eat the same meal everyday?
Before I cut out bread and marge I would have scrambled egg on toast every morning, for years. Now I'm doing carnivore diet I've found that 1 box of mince, 4 eggs and a bit of cheese, twice a day, then split 3:2 with my dog is perfect for both our calorie needs and it's cheap... so I'll be eating like this, twice a day for…

How do I know when to Adjust my Cutting Diet?
I’ve been cutting for about two months now. Love the results and feeling phenomenal. My question is when doing this diet is there ever a need to adjust my macros?

High-protein, non-dairy, easy-to-transport foods?

For the love of Produce...
I’ve been a produce *kitten* for years and years. My ‘Apple thing’ is notorious among friends and family. That’s the one enduring phase (current obsessions are Koru, Pacific Rose, and HoneyBee apples)- in addition to my squash fixation (kabocha, mostly, but a well roasted spaghetti squash also makes me swoon.) I love…
