I have been under 30 carbs a day fro the past month, I am only down about 11 pounds.
Considering the "healthy" amount to lose is 2 pounds a week that sounds good and that weight could well be gone for good. I went to see your food diary to see if I could spot what it might be but you don't have it shared. What ever you are doing is working!

Alcohol is what kills me too. I often work a beverage or two into my plan (normally wine or 1 beer) but even working it in, it seems like a waste. Most of the beers I like are 14+ carbs per serving that's half of my goal! The liquor with a 0 cal/0 carb mixer is the only good option that I'm aware of unfortunately.0 -
Actually score negitive carbs -17 is that a thing? Had to have bits and pieces. Unexpected late nite out drank heaps of herbal tea. Standing on the scales was so confronting, 3 kilo improvement you can't be sad about that. Keep on keeping on.1

I might need to look into your use of Flax seed....0 -

Congrats on your improvements!
I'm confused and interested in this negative carbs thing... do you just mean that you had more fiber overall than total carbs --- is that possible? What foods would have that high of fiber?

So I only tend to drink a few times a year but my Doctor says my good cholesterol is low, and my bad is in normal range. I need to up my good cholesterol and WINE can do that (and is only about 4 carbs. Sooo...... I think I might try adding a bit of wine to my life! I keep reading about keto friendly alcohol and it doesn't sound like torture to me at all. I guess though if you are used to drinking other things socially it could be a challenge.0 -

For me the challenge is limiting my carbs from food enough that I can drink and be within limit and drinking while at bars/restaurants/friends houses where a lot of the selections are not low carb, lol. Like, if my friends want to share a pitcher of margaritas at a restaurant, I have a hard time turning that down
In general, I don't have issues when drinking at home (normally liquor and low or 0 carb mixers or some red wine) but social drinking kills my carb count (not to mention, drinking leads to lower inhibitions which too often leads to having chips with that margarita lol).

Day 1 low carb...I notice beans carry a lot of carbs. So I have to find a different way to get protein. I do not enjoy shakes.0

I am super depressed since started thyroid and diabetes meds a few days ago. I was doing so great on keto, fibro pain was lower... these meds are kicking my butt. Caved and had a sugar free pudding tonight and ended up with 29 total carbs for the day.
