I do one to two days per week of higher carb, usually with one actual cheat meal of whatever I want. I have been losing consistently, so it's working for me, and the flexibility makes it much easier to stick with this way of eating.

I use UCAN, which is supposed to give you long lasting fuel without the insulin spike. Also, I use Larabars, they have dates (so natural sugar) but it's way better than any of those chemical Gus!

Thanks everyone!!! Great ideas! (Except the bread idea, LOL ;-))

Yes, adrenaline and the crowd makes a difference for me.

I have run many half marathons and a full marathon, and I think running does help with weight loss, but it also makes you really hungry, so be careful and make sure you are eating nutrient dense filling foods to keep you full.

I have had kidney stones three times, once when pregnant and never when eating low-carb. Some people are prone to them, my doctor fully supports my way of life, but I am not really "keto", more low carb with a focus on veggies, protein and healthy fats.

I am 5'2" and muscular, so I am a size 6 right now at 140, and want to get down to a lean 132 size 4.

Net - under 50, total- 50-75. I eat a lot of veggies and sometimes potatoes.

Hummus is a healthy fat- I have been avoiding it because I am avoiding legumes right now, but I have always found it to be a great addition to my diet.

I am trying to build muscle while losing fat, which is hard to do, so I try to eat back some exercise calories. I don't want too big of a calorie deficit. Sometimes I don't eat them all, and other days I eat more, so it all kind of evens out I think. I try to pay attention to my body, some days I am really hungry and…

Thanks!

I actually cracked an egg the other day with NO yolk. That was freaky....

Thanks everyone! I plan to keep eating a lot of veggies, so I will see how counting net works for me. I don't eat any sugar alcohols, or artificial sweeteners at all, so I don't have to worry about those.
