Umm yes.... when you low carb, your body will deplete its glycogen stores. That is why its not uncommon to lose 10 to 20 lbs after two weeks. But after that occurs, then fat loss is equivalent to any other diet that creates a deficit.

I have read it but I cant deal with all the equations... I will ask one of my boyfriends mates to make me a plan most of them are fitness coaches (Y)
Boyfriends? As in plural? Not judging, just curious if that is coming across the way you meant it lol.
I personally don't use a calculator to figure out how many cals to eat. I just rely on my fitbit to give how much I burn each day and eat accordingly.
Haha no i meant my the friends of my boyfriend
Plural friends
One boyfriend.... sorry bad grammar!
saying, my boyfriend friends would have been bad grammar lol you said it right the first time

Just out of curiosity, if someone has been dieting and eating a moderate amount of carbs but wanted to drop weight for a special event, do you think would they still lose quickly in the first two weeks? I am currently losing about 1.5 lbs/week.0 -

If you already are on a low carb diet, then its doubtful as glycogen storage would already be low. Depending on carb level you could go keto to lose a few more lbs... but it would probably be minimal.obscuremusicreference wrote: »MomOfOneGirl1995 wrote: »IsaackGMOON wrote: »

Oh, I don't think it's workable for a wedding weekend, then, given that I've heard you get sick if you jump back into normal carbs post-keto. Thank you for the answer!0 -

The only thing that works for weight loss is a calorie deficit. There are no magic teas or foods out there, and there is no need to detox either.Just wondering if anyone has done the Bootea Teatox,
Any thoughts on it?
Does it work?
With the healthy eating and exercise does it make much of a difference?
Thanks Everyone!

I've tried it. It is great for a good clear out! Definitely lost a couple of extra pounds and had a really flat stomach! Obviously only because it's a laxative; - but it made me more focussed as it gave me a boost and was able to maintain the benefits it gave me. I found after a while it stopped working and I'd cleared out as much as I could. But I enjoyed the tea. It did no harm and made me feel good. Might do it again at some point.0

Im not looking to use it as a special diet short term thing, i was just looking into it for a boost for the first few weeks for motivation purposes. Seeing results makes me want to carry on working for it. I intend to eat within deficit and work out four times a week or more regardless of adding the tea or not.
On the other hand I would feel better about myself gettin to my GW with no extra help, all pure hard work and eating right x0 -
It certainly is January on the MFP forums, no doubt.

I believe that you said you are waiting for you food scale to arrive. I'd like to share what I figured out the other day. A couple friends on MFP said they didn't want to use a scale, wanted to just learn portions instead. So, I recalled when I first came on MFP, people on the forums stated over/over, get a scale and measure, you are probably eating more than you think. I got a scale. So, I did some measuring just to see. I measured 1/4 cup steel cut oats and 1 tbs PB2. The oats were 40 grams on packaging and the 1/4 cup was 56 grams. The PB2 was 6 grams on packaging and 9 grams in the tbs. So that's 50% more for the PB2 and 40% more for the oats. So if you figure you eat 14 items in a day (3 meals + 2 snacks) and underestimate on half of those, and those items are 100 calories, that could be 50 calories each for 7 items, you could easily underestimate 350 calories per day. And that would be a low estimate, depending on what you eat. So, yes, weigh, weigh, weigh. It WILL make all the difference between success and frustration. Especially when you get close to goal.0

Crikey some people are so mean on here. The whole point is to be suppotive and give advice. If you have nothing nice to say or cant say things in a nice way then keep quiet.
On a lighter note i have been on bootea 3days. Not sure whether it will work or not. Only brought it as it was on sale. I enjoy the flavour of the tea alot. If it works great. If not no biggie. Ill keep you updated. Im also doing insanity and averaging 1300 calories a day. Xx0 -
BOO-tea? Is it meant to scare the pounds off you, or does it just keep you in the bathroom for a few days?0

Blindly supporting a silly detox is not giving advice, nor is it being supportive.

I agree but a lot of people on here haven't gone about it in a very nice way.... I can take people telling me its not a good idea but not when they go off on one. I am not a diet and fitness expert I am a beginner to it all, I know a lot of people on here have a lot of knowledge on diets and exercise and I would like advice from those people not them to shoot me down0 -

Hard to tell tone over a computer. That is your projection.0 -

I bought it but stopped taking it. I heard it was almost a laxative although I didn't experience that at all even over 11 days. I didn't lose any weight even though I followed the diet (they call it vegetarian but you're allowed fish, errmmm hello that's pescetarian, it annoys me when they can't even get things like that right, minimum dairy etc). The smell is enough to put anyone off and the taste is awful.
Also my cousin suffered from severe stomach cramps for the period she took it.
My advice, save your money and avoid any sort of teatox like the plague.0 -

Your consideration of such a flawed concept as a detox required a shoot down. It might not be what you want to hear, but, it was what you needed to get told.
This thread follows the typical pattern of the detox/cleanse/pills "advice" threads ... the initial answers all tell you that it is a waste of money and those techniques have no medical or scientific basis. The OP (in this case you) states the purpose is a quick/kick/jump start of a diet plan ... again countered with science and logic. Around this point in most threads, somebody provides a link to the sexypants thread in the Getting Started area of the forum ... which did happen here. Then there are usually a series of questions that are answered in the sexypants thread ... a resource provided to, but not used, by the OP in thread after thread.
This process occurs several times a day. At one point this morning there were three detox/tea/pill threads on the front page of this forum section alone. It doesn't even take a search to get the answers to these recurring threads ... they are always on page one or two of the forum.0 -

I have tried bootea - some friends and I reviewed some 'teatoxes' for our uni magazine a while ago. We found that bootea was the most gentle - there were some (skinny teatox and a fruit one that I can't remember the name of, it tasted orangey) that caused really horrible cramps so stopped using it. We all lost a few pounds (1 week period, left a gap of 2 weeks inbetween each one). To be honest, I don't think it was really the tea, as I fluctuate a lot anyway, and as other people here have pointed out, it may well have just been water weight. I still sometimes have the morning bootea - not interested in laxitive evening one, but I loooove the taste of the morning one. It has never made me pee so either doesn't work on me or is just not a very effective diuretic - as I said, I like the taste, and when I run out there will be a cheaper one I can replace it with I expect! We also recently tried the bootea shake and it is rank. Best weight loss product we reviewed? Our gym memberships best of luck to you!
