I understand that if you are just starting out, avoid carby
fruits and veg. Apples and carrots fall into that category.0 -

Had a great week keeping carbs below 20g and managing cravings. The Happy Scale app I downloaded recently has helped me deal with day-to-day weight fluctuations and more realistic goal setting. Today it predicts that I'll be at 200 lbs. on June 2, and I'm fine with that. I also added my BMI stats to track my progress in stages from Class III Super Obese to normal weight range. I'll always remember how devastating it was to see myself first described as obese at a health care visit some 30 years ago. I know it's not the most accurate measure of fitness, but the medical terminology is just ugly.
Have a spectacular week, and keep on keeping on, everyone!

Not the loss I was hoping for. I know I was in more of a deficit than that, but oh well. At least it was a loss.

Hi are you taking measurements? I have found that even when the scale does not move my measurements go down.1 -

I haven't been, but I know that I need to. I know for a fact that I'm losing inches because my pants are looser and my boobs are actually fitting in my bra again LOL Thanks for the push to take my measurements, I needed it!0 -

Another small loss but I'm still happy with it. At least I am consistent and have learned lots so now I don't even notice when I am making choices until other people point it out to me. Took my mom out for lunch and I ordered my cobb salad with chicken, no corn and dressing on the side without even looking at the menu...she was very proud of me

I went on a 3 day sugar binge and gained weight. Now, i'm just trying to get back on track. Wish me luck 2 -
@goldengirl111 not typically; however, you can try it and see if they impact you. or know that you are using your carb allotment for the day (or two) with a small amount of food. i would recommend holding off on them until you have been hard at it, meaning <= 20g carbs, for at least 2 weeks (this should get you through the initial adaptation phase and allow you to start feeling more in your body on if you _need_ those). if you do, that is fine; just be aware of the carb counts and how little you eat. fruits & veggies are truly something that is personal; i know for me, i do not feel as well when i eat them (other than as a spice/flavor to my meal)0

Just started Keto yesterday, however, I'm not really sure I understand it. I comprehend I need to cut carbs down to about 20 gs, but when I make up my daily menu, to keep it at that limit, I'm consuming less than 500 calories daily. That can't be good, can it? Also, I read, that I need to keep my protein level reasonable, but how do I figure out how much I should be eating? Also, it says to eat more fat, but can one eat too much?, the last thing I need is clogged arteries. I'm 65, weigh about 250 and spend most of my day in bed or a wheelchair. Any suggestions on daily diet plans would be really helpful.2
