    More recent info states “there are no ESSENTIAL carbohydrates.” Our bodies will manufacture glucose, if it needs it. At first I was staying under 20 g, now I allow myself to go over ON OCCASION.

    @quiltingjaine I know keto works for you, but I’m wondering what your sources are for this information (aside from doctors making lots of $$ from their books)? Various science-based and trustworthy sources, including the Mayo Clinic, Harvard Medical School, The American Council on Science and Health, various dietetics associations, and the two professional dietitians I’ve consulted over the years advocate consumption of healthy carbs (Particularly veggies and whole grains) for most people, and urge caution in regard to any extreme diet (such as cutting out an entire food group). Here’s an interesting article from The American Council on Science and Health - https://www.acsh.org/news/2015/08/17/that-perennial-question-low-fat-or-low-carb-addressed-again There are more excellent articles on the Mayo, Harvard, and ACSH sites, among other science-based, non-commercial sources. Keto seems to be great for some people, but can be dangerous (or simply unrealistic/unappealing) for others, like any highly restrictive way of eating.

    @UTMom81 I do sometimes use a protein supplement to hot my protein macro. Usually I put collagen and gelatin in my first morning coffee - those give me 14g but last night I was quite short so made a cup of coffee and added a scoop of Dymatize Iso100 - 30g scoop has 25g of protein and some SF vanilla bean syrup. It was a dessert in a mug beverage. And me my macros almost perfect!wd4c3jvj4zvv.jpeg

    @SheilaBoneham I’ve read articles from both camps but I have to say my own experience is indicating that it works and is safe. My dad first read about low carb dieting back in 1967 but I was 17 and there was no way I was dropping the majority of goodies that I liked. I did Stillman in 1973 after DD#2 was born - that was drastic but I lost 25# in 3 weeks and felt great - kept that off for 2 years or more. Since a little over 3 years ago, I’m down 52# and my labs improve every time they are check (q6mo). I have eased up and am doing LowCarb, Higher Fat more than keto these days. I never expected to get to this weight but I’m thrilled and the doctor is satisfied. (I wasn’t going to him until January, 2019, so he didn’t know me at 197 (my highest) or 167.5, when I started Keto.

    @SheilaBoneham Mo food group is eliminated. The carbs that I do eat are from vegetables and occasional fruit. The nutrients in those are also available from other food and there is current thinking (and studies) that the fiber in those may not be as valuable as once thought. DietDoctor has beautiful graphics showing the best and worst choices in each food group carb wise.

    JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 130 (round 60 for me ) I'm in for another round – I really need the accountability! As always, thank you@GrandmaJackiesuch a brilliant champion particularly in these unprecedented & unsettled times, helping keep some stability in our lives, for setting up these challenges.

    Female age 62 5' 4” - Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !

    Challenge for this round will be to get back into 133s. Stick with good habits; be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking, no binges, keeping the 10 days binge free makes such a difference!
