I drink Kombrucha. Deelish. Also this; low carb high fat dieting; fat does not make you fat. That is proven by everyone who eats this way. It is the opposite. Maybe the same with sodium and blood pressure. I think there is so much we don't know.

1 year, 15 lbs, 2 dress sizes great bloodwork.

I now take cod liver oil- pure liquid form, from my health store refrigerator, plus Electro Mix (sometimes 2 packets if I am exercising)made by the same folks who do Emergen-C which I also take; light version, dissolves in water. I am not a huge believer in pills but I heard that collegen as found in Reserveage (…

I have been on LCHF since last January. My weight loss is not as fast as some experience but I was determined that this was a better diet for me not only from a weight loss perspective but because I felt better. My mind is sharper , I have more energy, and the aches and pains in my joints have disappeared. Total loss is…

um. lose the sugar, sugar. Really. It is the stuff that will wreak havoc on any diet. ZERO sugar. Period.

Oh nevermind. I figured it out.

I was desperate on a road trip for a stop and food. Two Burger King breakfast sammies with sausage minus all that bunnage. Fine. Greasy , fine. I never ate these when I was a carb person so it was a kind of fun sin. Back on the road with bunnage free fat in my belly. I don't make this a habit.

yup, ditch the scale. Every day? It's an obsession. Stop! 3,000 calories to lose a pound. Can't do that in a 24 hour period. PERIOD. I have lost 10 lbs since January. Yes, just 10 but it is under the 200 mark that I hadn't seen in 20 years. I try now to weigh once a week. Last 2? No change. But I am not discouraged. If it…

Try more fat. Scary but you can do it. MORE FAT

egg salad with real mayo. Chicken salad with real mayo. Have it in the fridge. a couple spoon fulls when needed. Love me my may. Greens are worthless unless you add protein and fat. Egg salad on greens. Try that.

you inspire everyone. Great going.

too much sugar. Give me a raw berry off the vine, a bit o' cream cheese and I am good to go. Moderation .

give up eggs? The perfect food? Giving up cheese is easy. Eggs? my body loves the down time after so much beef. Truely sorry it doesn't work for everyone. I am Scandinavian decent. I think we lived on dairy.

Remember this isn't a diet, it is a lifestyle. Don't think that once you are back on track, you can start wandering. Won't work. Soon, you won't miss any of it. So many great substitutes for "sweet" treats. Recipes galore.

Oh, right. I think it is called Spandex now. See? I missed the whole thing being too big to enjoy.

eggs fried in organic butter. Remember to pour the remaining butter over the eggs. These are days when I don't add bacon.

switched to under 10 per day. Sometimes closer to 5. Increased my fat. My formula is that my carbs and protein grams must be < my fat grams.

It is fat adaptation and now, I love me my fat. yikes.

You don't look terribly overweight. Are you? Maybe you don't have a lot of fat to lose. It took me 3 months at <20 grams, learning to eat enough fat ( huge obstacle) who eats more fat? to finally begin to lose weight. 3 months. I read about all these rapid drops and instead of giving up, it made me more determined. I am…

Ah, sleep issues. Maybe now there is a connection

We need to know our own bodies and what they respond to. I cannot imagine remaining sedentary whether I was over weight or not. Strength, mind clarity, and the sense of well being exercise gives to me. I would rather have muscle weight than loose skin , no tone and feel myself getting weaker. No one said it has to be 6…

exercise. walk. think and walk and meditate about what it is that needs prioritizing. Make an effort to do something kind for someone else; a trip to the food shelf with your carbs, clothing or volunteer work with a child. I always find my problems are quite small compared to others who struggle. Give back and you will…

I don't disappoint

dill pickles, Stonewall's Horseradish Aioli, salsa, avacado

hog poopy. Exercises uses energy. Energy is what is used to fuel the body during exertion. I do MUCH better losing while exercising than not. I know I am burning fat now, instead of carbs for the energy needed to work out. Also, more muscle which burns calories and tones the body. Nothing worse than loose skin on the…

Spencer 's salmon pinwheels. Fish department.

slow here as well. I don't do SCALE. Nope, not since January. Too depressing if you are slow. Clothes is the new scale.

ditto Tru2one Discipline , control and in the end, it is about the day not the meal.

I think you have some repair work to do before you can be successful with your weight loss journey. Excess weight starting in childhood can do some serious emotional damage. You simply must figure that out. Maybe get some help. They you need to get a life of your own. What are you passionate about? Photography? Art?…
