i'm not...

Net carbs.

Thanks for the encouragement and advice, ya'll. I feel hungover today from the experience. I plan on having a longer than usual workout today after work and I went back to low carb eating this morning.

Great job! That's a huge milestone!

Amazing NSV! So happy for you!

I have three NSVs: 1) I no longer need a seat belt extender on planes 2) I managed to go on vacation without completely losing my mind eating carbs, although I did have higher limits than usual and 3) I got right back on plan when I returned.

Fantastic job!

I'm a big fan of cheesy chicken. You will need a chicken breast, 1 slice of mozzerella cheese, then mix 1 T of mayo, 1T of sour cream, 1T of parmesian cheese and spread on top of the mozzerella slice. Bake in oven at 400 for about 30 minutes. Can definitely make a batch (will need to cook longer the more you have up to 1…

Feel free to add me. I started LCHF in June.

Whole milk greek yogurt. If I go for a few days without I really start craving it.

That's great! I know it must be wonderful to be out and about again. Good luck to you in your journey!

I eat green beans. I plan on using beans in soups, chili, etc this fall and winter but to use half the recipe amount to slowly introduce them back into my diet. As AnginCanada noted above, I will choose to incorporate them into my daily allotted carbs and just reduce the amount of carbs I eat the rest of the day to…

I like the facing your fears suggestion.

Interesting. I was just thinking how to incorporate honeycrisp apples into my diet. I am trying to stay below 50 net carbs daily so it will be interesting to experiment and see how they impact me.

Wow. You have done an amazing job! Congrats on your accomplishments!

@Kitnthecat You look amazing! Great work!

I've been weightlifting for about a month and I have noticed since I have upped the amount of the weights that I feel a little dizzy afterwards. I have been LCHF since June. So, from what I read it appears that some extra sodium after a workout will help counteract the dizziness?

I have a major sweet tooth. I knew I needed to go cold turkey with no sugar or sugar substitutes, especially for the first month. After that, I added back in berries and occasionally have a protein shake or bar with sucralose or sugar alcohols, but I find that if I eat those too frequently that I start craving sugar again.…

Great job!

I love my morning smoothie. It has 15 net carbs and 26 total carbs. 1/2 cup full fat Greek yogurt 1/2 small avocado 2 cups spinach 6 strawberries 1/4 c blueberries 1/4 c water You can decrease carbs by adjusting fruit/yogurt if you are very low carb.

Thanks everyone!

Love Outlander series! I have finished the first 3 books.

Nice, Ken!

I met all of my August fitness goals! I walked 10,000 steps at least 5X's per week, I went to the gym at least 2X's per week, I lifted weights at least 2X's per week. Yea! Great challenge!

I am still hitting my 10,000 steps goal 5X's per week and have been to the gym at least 2 X's per week and lifted each week.

What the *?! I've never heard of putting sweeteners of ANY kind in chili! No one I know here does that. A U.S. thing?? No wonder you'd be a bit worried about the 'kindliness' of your fellow parishioners. As a southerner, I can tell you that I have never put sugar in my chili nor do I know of anyone else who does. I agree…

@FIT_Goat That's pretty convincing that they are not a good idea. Thanks everyone for your comments!

So far, I have hit my goal of 10,000 steps 5X's per week for both weeks. I have also met my goal of weightlifting 2X's per week. I am participating in weekly work week challenges on Fitbit with friends which is really helpful in getting me to reach my daily goals.

Zucchini lasagna or beanless chili would be great uses for the hamburger meat. I also like hamburger soup!

Try Pinterest. I have found loads of great recipes. One of my favorites is a baked chicken breast smothered with a mayo,sour cream, parmesan, and garlic powder layer on top of a piece of swiss/mozzerella cheese. I am also loving using zoodles (noodles made out of zucchini) with spaghetti sauce, and Ina Marten's shrimp…
