Here's a link to a low carb group on MFP. There are quite a few people in this group who are addressing their diabetes by adopting a low carb diet. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum. Here's another group…

@moonangel12 [/quote] Interesting! I have been tested for lupus SO MANY TIMES! I will definitely look into the testing. I am sure my parents had to go to bat for me, because in so many ways I looked perfectly “fine” to the medical professionals... and so many times tests come back normal so there must not be anything wrong…

[https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/discussions/112055-the-low-carb-high-fat-recipes-group-lchf[/url] This group has not been active over the past year plus, however, there is a treasure trove of recipes in the old threads.

Bananas are disgusting and so are avocados!

eggs, cheese, coffee

I lowered my carbs to Keto levels, lowered my fats, upped my protein level and added intermittent fasting.

Awesome results, congrats!

I loved corned beef hash and SPAM (I never had the lite version) as a kid. Not sure what I would think of it today! Hated the deviled ham spread.

Awesome results, congrats!

The ones in puff pastry? - Yummy!

[url="http://"]https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/112055-the-low-carb-high-fat-recipes-group-lchf[/url] There is a group dedicated to lchf and keto recipes (link above). Unfortunately, the group has not be active for a while. However, there are many excellent recipes, which can still be accessed.

I like unsweetened vanilla almond milk in my coffee. I like unsweetened coconut milk too. Typically, I also add a flavored liquid stevia. Unlike the OP, I love heavy whipping cream in coffee, but only use it occasionally because over time I've reduced my daily fat grams and increased my protein grams to successfully lower…

No. Starvation mode is a myth.

Do you have Hashimoto's disease? This disease can cause swings in thyroid levels. If you have not been tested for it, I would suggest that you get tested. I don't know if your regular doctor will order the test or not. You may have to see an endocrinologist. Also, changes in your weight can effect your thyroid hormones. If…

@ Hello, kachill320 - I read it! @LAT1963 - I read you post, too! Unfortunately, this group has not been very active of late. It's too bad because there was a lot of good information shared in the past. I've been a MFP user for just over 5-years now. I have a history of thyoid problems caused by a nasty bout of thyroiditis…

@Malimalai - You need to open a Keto restaurant. Everything looks sooo delicious!

Congrats on your success to date, and wishing you continued success! I've been using MFP for 5 years now. Wish I had found it or something similar years ago. If you use it consistently, it will help you lose that remaining fat and keep it off.

This is by far my favorite pork loin recipe! You can substitute soy sauce for the coconut aminos. I see no reason why you can't make it using the chops instead of the whole loin. https://lowcarbyum.com/crock-pot-balsamic-pork-tenderloin/#wprm-recipe-container-21644

I'm sorry you are struggling with this. Perhaps you can ask for a referral to a registered dietician who could help you sort this all out?

I initially ate a higher level of fat. I think this can be helpful for many people while they are becoming fat adapted. After time, learning from the experience of others, I cut back on my fats and ate higher protein. I found higher protein to be very satiating, too. While I had been maintaining a 50+ lb. weight loss for…

What types of protein are you eating? If you are not already, choose more lean protein sources (e.g., skinless chicken breast, 93% ground beef, lean fish, low or nonfat dairy) to up your protein and lower your fat. Also, have you tried experimenting with various spices/spice blends to make your lean meat and fish more…

I eat pretty small quantities, how much depends in part on the total carb and fiber counts of the veggies I am eating that day and whether or not I'm also having fruit (which is pretty much just berries) in a given day. I average 3-5 servings (total) of veggies and fruit a day. Typically, I don't eat more than one serving…

spinach, romaine lettuce, cabbage, zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, green onion, mushrooms, bell peppers (no green - yuck!) and various hot peppers, cucumbers, pumpkin, spaghetti squash

tomatoes, cranberries, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries

Congratulations!! Awesome progress.

I don't have PCOS, but a family member does. This sounded interesting so I looked him up. One of the first things that came up in my search is a document that is a list of charges against Dr. Flechas, which was brought by the NC Medical Board. A hearing was scheduled back in 2007. I did not see information about the…

Happy Birthday! I'm sorry to hear that you've been dealing with such serious and frustrating thyroid problems. I don't think the average person or even doctors who treat thyroid patients have any idea how miserable thyroid disease can be. I've had thyroid problems for a very long time. I've been both hyper (due to…

I lost a significant amount of weight five years ago counting calories, but was still hovering just above a normal BMI and I was hungry all the time. I've been eating Keto for a couple of years now and not only has the hunger subsided, but I was able to lose those hard to lose pounds bringing my weight down well into a…

My feet got thinner with weight loss. I used to wear narrow width shoes. However, when my weight went up, I wore regular shoes. Years ago I could find narrow shoes in any shoe or department store. Unfortunately, today while there are plenty of wide width shoes in every store, narrow width shoes are hard to find, are only…

String cheese, pepperoni, nuts
