This is what I ate today
Breakfast
4 frozen sausage patties, stick of pepperjack cheese
Snack
Pork Rinds
Lunch
10 buffalo style chicken wings
Dinner
Ceasar salad half a cup of lettuce. 2 tablespoons of dressing
3 grilled chicken wings
Some shredded roast pork
Grilled chicken thigh
I took two multivitamins in the morning. Feeling good still today. Going to see if I need to up my carbs before bed like I did last night. So far Im feeling good again.
As I said to you before...you really should learn to do some research.
If you overdose on multi-vitamins...call the CDC...do not induce vomiting.
In the mean time...read this put out by the NIH...
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/002596.htm
There is a recommended dosage for a reason...taking 2 won't get you healthier quicker.
I hope...regardless of what eating plan that you end up on...it works for you. However...IMO you would be better off with one that you don't have to think about as much. You are over thinking the one that you are on now. Several low carbers have tried to give you advice and you have ignored most of it...instead...opting to double up on multi-vitamins.0 -
Yes it does adjust to your eating....hence why people who have part of their stomach removed can regain their weight if they eat more than what their stomach can hold

25 Common Food & Nutrition Myths
Myth 1:
Your stomach will shrink if you eat less.
FACT:
The only way to physically shrink your stomach is through surgical procedures. Your stomach expands to accommodate the amount of food that you eat and goes back to its original size once the food passes on to the intestines. The only effect cutting down on the amount of food will have on your stomach is your appetite but not the size of the stomach itself.

Is this some sort of "how to get a heart attack young" eating plan? Meat, processed meat, and then some meat on top and vitamins to maintain the illusion this diet is good for you?0 -

At first glance that looks like a lot of calories to me, though it depends on the exact portions. You might try substituting some of that meat with vegetables and only take the recommended dosage of multivitamins. More likely if you need to supplement anything, it's electrolytes which aren't found in large amounts in multivitamins.0 -

That is the problem with multivitamins and some people...they use it as a substitute to get the micros that they need.
I take one but still try to get what I need through foods. Mine give 50% of the calcium but I still try to get 100% of it through food. Mainly why I started taking it was iron...I just could not eat enough foods with iron to meet my needs.
Doubling up on them might not harm some people but research shows that some things in excess can be harmful.0 -

My apologies...I didn't realize that you had to be a member of a secret society in order to post on a low carber thread. I must have skipped that MFP rule when I joined.
What I find strange is that it should matter to you.
I never told the OP not to do low carb...I suggested that he do some research on whatever diet he chose instead of doubling up on multivitamins to make up for what he wasn't getting through food.0 -

Feel good today
Took only 1 multi today.
Breakfast
4 frozen sausage patties
1 stick of pepperjack cheese
Snack
2 Mozarella cheese sticks
Lunch
2 Turkey Sausages
Dinner
10 oz New York Strip steak
Cup of lettuces
Im not sure how many carbs Im getting from marinade, but assuming maybe 10. Lettuce about 5. Drinks about 10. So I think I made my goal again today. Calories are about 1500 for a day. So day is looking good. 5 more days to go.0 -
Just find it weird people who are anti low carb respond to a low carb post......and hating on it without any valid responses or real info to back it up....just odd.

Just curious--is the OP's diet an example of what low carbers eat? All meat, some cheese, and a cup of lettuce a day? I haven't been able to look at any of your food diaries to see what you are eating. How can anyone defend what the OP is eating? Of course people are trying to modify his diet--it's incredible.0 -

It certainly does not represent mine - I don't like lettuce.0 -

LOL,
Seriously most people doing low carb will have a larger volume of veggies and maybe some fruit. The OP diet seems like a lot of protein as well.
And thank you as I am 'special' as you put it (thanks I get the reference). I feel on these forum I am amongst my like minded 'Special' people - like yourself.

I eat low carb and no that's not what I eat... That's where people get into problems... Eating all meat and nothing else. I've never seen an actual low carb plan like this... All of your carbs are supposed to come from veggies... Not sugar cured meats and soda... Otherwise you have no nutrition and you have no fiber.... And you can't sustain it long term...0 -

Thank you for your reply.:flowerforyou:
Another question, if you don't mind...Are you staying at the same calorie count on days you are not doing the low carb? And how did you come to the calorie count you are using?0 -
If you are actually considering carb cycling I would follow and actual program and I'd look into Chris Powell's book Choose more to Lose more for life..... It's vegetable based and not some crazy made up "low carb" plan. It focuses on nutrients and doing low carb and then moderate carb but adding in good carbs.What kind of eating/meal plan comes after the OP's 7 days are completed?

I just plan on eating 1500 to 2000 calories a day. I might just do maintenance calories for a few weeks and then low carb. again. I eat around my bmr.0 -

OP said he/she can barely function on low carb…so why wouldn't people suggest an alternate plan?
it is not like OP said "I am on low carb and feel great"….0 -

You are so patient with my questions...thank you again.
Did you calculate your BMR on MFP ? I'm fairly new at this myself so I also am trying to find my way.

I calculated my bmr at a body building website. dont know if mfp does tht.0

Here is the thing about your attitude...calling all of us that don't low carb...haters...
First of all you would be hard pressed to find any post that I have written that has condemned anyone for going low carb. For myself...it didn't work...didn't like what I was experiencing...plus did like the fact that I had to try and change my cooking patterns. I was also tired a lot. Could I have gotten past some of that...maybe...but I chose not to.
Second...just because someone disagrees with you does not mean that they are haters...just means that we don't agree.
Third...the OP's diet isn't healthy...if you think it is...then I disagree. Does that mean that I hate you...no...just means that I disagree. IMO...you need to stop villainizing people because they think differently.
Fourth...people have the right to post where they choose...it is they way that this forum is set up. I read a lot of threads...sometimes post on them...that doesn't concern me. I just like to understand what other people are doing...and why. It is after all...how you learn about and understand your fellow human beings.
I usually don't go on rant and rave binges...but I just can't stand when people think that if I disagree...I am a "hater". Plus...I don't care for people telling me what I should and should not do. I am a grown woman...I will post whenever and where ever I choose. I am for the most part polite and civil to other people. I don't tell people what they should and should not do...the exception to that is when what they are doing is harmful...such as the OP only eating meat with little else...or doubling up on vitamins to make up for the lack of nutrients because he rarely eats a vegetable.
Yes...this was a rant and rave post...I tried not to insult you or to be a "hater".
Okay...back to my normal programming....0 -
I calculated my bmr at a body building website. dont know if mfp does tht.
Yes MFP does the calculations too. Click on APPs at the top of the screen. You'll see under that a line that says APP Gallery...Mobile...Tickers...Badges...BMR...BMI.
It took me a while to find this.
Click on BMR...put in your information and see how this compares to the body building website. 0 -

I agree, I never saw where you were bashing the OPs choice to go low carb, just what he is calling low carb and how he is doing things. He is not doing it right and over dosing on vitamins because he doesn't want to eat veggies is not a good thing at all.
I am VERY pro low carb and I have tried to be very encouraging and give advice but it has been blatantly ignored by OP... I'm not trying to get him to not do low carb I am trying to convey the dangers of doing incorrectly... But I've come to the conclusion that it's his body and if he wants to absolutely ruin it then it's his prerogative.0 -
You may not be eating enough protein
I don't understand the logic behind this.
If she is eating low carb and according to you might not begetting enough protein, that would mean that she is eating nothing, because with low carb....protein is what is left to eat.0 -

The food list is useless. " some shredded pork " could be an oz or a pound. Also, who eats two tablespoons of dressing with half a cup of lettuce ? Half a cup of lettuce is almost nothing. I wish the OP would just open her food diary. No matter the style we eat, weighing things on a scale is the most important feature, because otherwise it is next to impossible to tweak a diet so the macros are right and support health and weight loss.0 -

Thanks...I try...don't always succeed...to be kind!
I agree...the OP is a grown man...it is his choice if he chooses not to take what has been meant by all of us to be helpful.
Funny thing about all of this...
For the past month I have been working to get my protein and fats up. I am a carb love...I admit it. My problem is...as much as I like meat...I don't enjoy eating as much as what I have been. So I have been trying to lower my carb intake to a moderate level and find something besides meat to get my protein and fat levels up. I am not overly fond of beans but I think that I am going to have to make them my new best friend to accomplish what I want to accomplish.
To add to the mix...I have had to go low sodium and am finding out...CARBS NEED SODIUM! The last pasta dish I cooked tasted just plain nasty to me without sodium.
So I have been reading low carb, vegetarian and vegan threads to pick up a little info for me to research.0
