I have been deliberately avoiding roast potatoes while eating other roasted vegetables that contain lower carbs. It just didn't make sense to avoid potatoes while indulging in sweet potatoes which, according to diet doctor are even higher in carbs than ordinary potatoes.
I am given abundant free fruit and vegetables as part of my work but in truth I prefer to eat more fatty meat with just a few veggies on the side. My favourite veg would be brussel sprouts, cooked in lard with fatty bacon, and apple cider vinegar like a home made sourkraut.5 -
I've eaten some sweet potato in the past couple of weeks without any problems. Tried a small yellow potato and had a headache within an hour! At least the sweet potato is a great vessel for yummy butter!
I've been working at maintenance and find sweet potatoes to be an easy addition that doesn't make the scale jump, for me!
NSV for me, the plastic surgery I'm having at 7:30am central time today!!!14 -
I love sweet potatoes too, and I plan to add them back into my diet once I get to maintenance level. They are the one thing I REALLY miss! Yes, sweets were never my problem... it was always the potatoes, bread and pasta that didn't love me as much as I loved them.
Me too! I used to bake sweet potato (in strips like fries) with a little bit of coconut oil and cinnamon. It felt like a treat. So yummy! I plan to add them back in at maintenance but I'll probably eat them around my workouts.I've eaten some sweet potato in the past couple of weeks without any problems.

It's really nice to hear that sweet potatoes dont make the scale jump for you. Crossing my fingers it will work out that way for me
Yay for plastic surgery day! Not sure what you're having done but I hope you heal up fast!5 -
Also curious about the surgery! Very exciting. Hope it all goes well, and take care.4

cycled 220 km yesterday, eating two tubs of creme fraiche (35% fat) during, because I left my wallet at home, haha! Went great. Finally sorting out the food and drink while on the bike. Keto rules. So much more freedom during endurance events.10

My fasting blood sugar was 78 today! That is in the "normal" range for non-diabetics and absolutely bloody fantastic for a T2D. Must be the small amount of exercise I added to my WOE. This number just confirms to me that I am eating the right way for my body and am getting closer to being med free 13

@Karlottap Good luck and hopes for good healing! Will love to hear about the experience. 3

I discovered I have a waist!!
Suddenly this week it has finally appeared and I am over the moon. I am no longer round like an apple and my scales shows me at the same weight as last Friday. I can live with scales staying still as long as my body changes 12 -

@Karlottap I hope everything went perfectly for you! Best wishes.6 -
For the past two days I've worn two different pair of jeans that used to cut into my waist so bad I'd have red marks and muffin top galore! My slim jeans with flowy high low top and strappy sandals are looking pretty cute today for this 45 year old

Same thing happened to me. Mindblowing.
