Morning all. My first week on LCHF diet (which I am loving btw!) and I lost 2.9 lbs! Feels great. Keeping carbs below 50. That isnt net carbs...still not sure exactly how to calculate that. Anyone find any specific veggies that help or hinder the weight loss?

Ignore the ticker below, cant remember how to update it or remove it lol.

    Great job on the loss! For net carbs, you just subtract fiber from the carbohydrate amount. So if there's 10 grams of carbs and 5 grams of fiber, it's 5 net carbs. There's some fancy internet stuff you can do on MFP to make it show up that way, but I just do the math myself and have my diary set up to show carbs and fiber as well as fat, protein, sugar and total calories.

    Good luck!!

    Oh and I meant to say that is for US only - I think other countries like the UK use net carbs on their food labels in some capacity.
