Thank you very much! He said he was tested as a child because he had very high cholesterol back then too. His cholesterol is still high even though he's not really overweight and he's on a statin. He's quit drinking, but I'm trying to convince him to at least lower his carbs. I've been cooking him his favorite stuff,…

I do 18:6, it just happened that way with keto, I was not hungry until 2:00-3:00 in the afternoon, so that's when I just started my day naturally. I think that OMAD sounds very convenient, but for me probably harder than the 18:6. Cause I like to eat between 6:00-9:00pm, but I'd be way too "hangry" (hungry/angry lol) if I…

Hey! She's got to get the water and the sodium in! I've been keto for a year, lost 55lbs. It's harder to lose weight when I haven't been drinking and I definitely notice a difference when I dont get the sodium in. Easiest way for me is to make the "keto-ades" (recipe is in one of the sticky posts). Kills two birds haha. If…

no im pretty honest with myself and take my nutrition seriously. especially after having a baby because im nursing and would like to lose that extra weight quickly. I recorded everything religiously even use USDA values to be the most accurate. if there was any error it wouldn't have been enough to cause such a huge…

yes i said i was. the only difference was macros eta to add the only difference in what i ate was macros. my activity level was a little higher after my second. so technically I was eating at a slightly larger deficit when I was losing weight at a slower rate.

Yes I agree. After my second baby I did CICO, worked out, weighed my food, and tracked the calories. I lost the 30lbs but it took me a year to do so. After this last baby, I am doing keto. Exactly the same amount of calories just different macros. I lost 30lbs in 4 months. Same calories, different macros, but the weight…

HAH you are right my stress levels are through the roof. i didnt really think about that. the baby is still waking up at night, and my toddler is being very defiant lately and him and the kindergartner fight constantly too. Its probably a combination of everything. the rapid weight loss, the hormones, and the stress. I…

i am a late snacker too and get more hungry at night. What worked for me is skipping breakfast, eating a light lunch and snack. then i eat the rest of my calories after 5:00. Took me just shifting all my calories to later in the day. if you need something sweet make a LC mug brownie, or eat an atkins bar. if you need…

5% carbs (29g) 70% fat (179g), 25% protein (144g) . i dont have cravings or get hungry and shaky anymore . i have a ton of energy i eat 2300 calories a day im 5'9"

Some people have a really hard time losing weight while nursing no matter what they do. a friend of mine tried a lot of things, then as soon as she weaned those last 30lbs came right off. this is my third time trying to lose the baby weight while nursing. My youngest is currently 5 months, i was having trouble losing…

Hey! I started keto a little less than 3 months ago and im down almost 30 lbs. but i have 30-50 (not sure about what I want my goal weight to be yet) I friend requested you. and anyone else feel free to add me if you need more LC friends!

https://www.internationaldelight.com/where-to-buy you can put in your zip code here and choose "seasonal creamer > pumpkin pie spice" and it will show you where you can get it. Around me it's all walmarts and theres one Stop and Shop so you might be right

Maybe start measuring the HWC instead of guessing and if you need your coffee lighter, you can add some almond milk?

I found a sugar free pumpkin spice creamer by International Delights at walmart. it has only 1 carb. pumpkin isnt off limits. heres a recipe for low carb pumpkin pie!! http://the-lowcarb-diet.com/low-carb-pumpkin-pie/

Thanks so much! I think this was the thread I was trying to find before!

Thank you everyone it's very encouraging that a lot of you have had positive experiences with your doctors. I've never had a problem with my blood work, i'm just overweight. So you guys inspired me so much i think im just gonna come right out and say i'm doing keto if I'm asked about my diet! I was afraid to at first…

I found small bags of pork rinds at the dollar store that fit into my purse

Make sure you are drinking enough water and eating enough sodium. making keto-ade helps alot. put some salt in water and squirt a little MiO in there. I havent experienced the keto flu since starting over a month ago because i watch my water and sodium. but sometimes i can tell when my electrolytes are getting low when i…

how many carbs were you eating? if you gained 30 pounds in a year that would probably be the cause of the cholesterol and all that being high, not the low carb diet. You might have to lose that weight before seeing those numbers go down. maybe reduce your carbs even more if you were eating a lot. its true my husbands…

Thank you all! I feel a lot better today. I think maybe it might be sugar alcohols like someone mentioned. I look a good look at my diet and the only thing different the last 2 weeks was that I bought a Carb Smart Ice Cream that had only 4g of net carbs but it had a lot of sugar alcohols in it. I was only having 1 serving…

Wow thank you for your insight. i didn't know how easy it was!! Someone call the media this man has found the solution to weight loss for every single person in the world! To those like me who don't overeat, are active, and still overweight. you must not be trying hard enough I guess.

Its most likely adheadsions from the surgery. You can try getting a mayan or abdominal massage someone who can break them up for you. Thats the only thing you can do really other than another surgery. I had aheasions from my csection that thankfully broke up when i got pregnant again, i didnt have another csection so they…

That drives me nuts too!! I haven't had soda in like 6 years and theres people like "i just cut back on soda and lost 20lbs" im like :'( all i drink is water and coffee and it hasnt helped :'(

That makes sense. there are weight pressures for boys too though in sports especially. I remember hearing about all the crazy things that guys did so they could make weight for wrestling or something like exercising while wrapped in garbage bags.

Oh so I wanted to say that it helps if I put in a little more sodium in my diet and when I'm a little more active.

My legs and hands have gotten numb and tingly a few times but I'm attributing it to my lowered blood pressure. My BP was usually 116/70ish and the other day I went to urgent care for something unrelated and it was 104/62. So I read keto can lower your blood pressure so I think this is what is happening to me

For me, if I don't eat enough calories, I dont lose weight. I am 5'9'" and I need about 2300 for my activity level. If I go under too much for too long the scale doesn't budge.maybe calculate more accurate tdee using body fat percentages make sure you aren't starving yourself

Yeah my husband has been doing keto for 3weeks he got a health screening at work the other day and not only was the bad cholesterol on the high side, his triglycerides were very high. We immediately made an appointment with our physician to get tested again. We don't know exactly what his numbers were before keto, so we…

Anyone can add me as well :)

I can tell you that the only reason I tried this was because I just had a baby and I'm nursing and when I nurse I crave cheese and meats really badly so I figured I'd give it a shot because that's all I wanted to eat lately anyway and I wanted to lose weight. After i started doing research I was confident this would work…
