Hello to everyone!

Thank you for the add into the group, I just joined MyFitnessPal today after a doctor's appointment yesterday where she encouraged me to to Low Carb. So here I am on Day 1!

I did a lot of reading yesterday and read all the stickies today once I joined. Looking forward to releasing some poundage here soon.

Feel free to add me!

    Wow! Nice that the doctor suggested it. He/she must keep up to date on things.

    It is excellent.

    Like many LCHF WOE folks, I have added IF (intermittent fasting). Eating enough fat, which is ~50% of ttl grams for me, has resulted in less hunger. I am just not hungry for breakfast and avoiding after-supper eating is much easier. Both these things has naturally led me to not eating for 18 to 20hr, which is my IF. I eat from lunch through supper, a 4 to 6 hr window. Check out Dr. Fung (a nephrologist/kidney doctor, who has many diabetic and/or overweight patients) videos on YouTube for more insight into IF.

    Also view Dr. James DiNicolantonio on YouTube, about salt. You may have read yesterday about the importance of mineral salt, as well as hydration in the archive posts.

    I very very much like my doctor, she is amazing and has lost a lot of weight doing low carb herself!
