These are great! Thanks! :)

I ate really well Saturday, Sunday and Monday, cooked breakfast plus coffee with cream, skipped lunch (wasn't hungry) then dinner with a low carb dessert (Sunday allowed myself two roast potatoes and didn't limit the roast lamb) back to IF on Tuesday and Wednesday...absolutely convinced I would have put weight on so got on…

My sons know and they're really supportive, I haven't told friends, I've just told them I'm not eating bread anymore and when we go out I generally choose salad. I've got a meal out at an Italian restaurant at the end of the month so not sure how I'll handle that!

Thanks how frequently do you use it?

My hu

So it's ok to have coffee with cream in? 2nd day today, I was really hungry by 5.30 and was so glad I wasn't on an all day fast, not quite ready for that yet!!

Thanks, how much do you use?

From tomorrow I'm incorporating intermittent fasting as a regular feature 2-3 times a week. This is after reading Jason Fung 'The obesity code' he explains that it's part of resetting 'the body set weight' which he likens to the thermostat in your home. Fasting is one of the keys to resetting it and stop that awful…

I'm reading the obesity code at the moment and it's brilliant, particularly about why we lose weight for so long and then plateau, so as a yo yo dieter and someone long past the menopause I'm now incorporating intermittent fasting to speed things up. Tomorrow I won't eat until dinner in the evening.

I like 'Eat Fat' by Dr. Trudi Deakin. It's a step by step guide to low carb living. lots of coloured diagrams which makes it easy to understand. Some good recipes at the back, my favourite is a quick microwaved chocolate sponge pudding, takes about 5 minutes to whip up and 1-1 and half minutes to cook. Yummy with thick…

I too like Diet Doctor, some gorgeous meals quick and easy to prepare and I love the way you can type in the number you're cooking for and it automatically resets the quantities. :) I also like Dot2trot, she has a great story really inspiring and she takes you step by step through her recipes. :)

I've used the urine sticks, but for me it's an increase in energy and lack of hunger and cravings that I'm going by. I can't believe how I'm no longer exhausted all the time and popping a ready meal in the microwave because I'm too tired too cook...now trying out loads of new recipes because I love the way lchf food tastes…

I don't look at the calories, just my carbs, and make sure I don't overdo fat and protein. At the moment I don't think I'm having enough protein, so I'm having eggs for breakfast with salmon and cheese or half an avocado. Then making sure I get plenty of chicken or fish at lunch. It's working so far ...albeit slowly :/

The main reason I'm doing this is for health, yes I want weight loss too but I'm absolutely convinced that the epidemic rise in the UK in diabetes, heart disease, and Alzheimer's are due to diet and all the wrong information given over the years, I don't have them at the moment and losing the sugar in my diet I think will…

Also I'm 63 and way past the menopause, so I believe it takes longer...I don't care I love the food and I'm not going to bed early because I've got cravings and I've run out of 'points' or calories!!

I'm in the UK too, and it's coming off slowly, so 4lbs 1st week,1lb 2nd week 1lb this week. My only exercise at the moment is walking the dog, 30 minutes or an hour depending on weather at the moment...snow just gone again! I'm quite strict keeping to 20grms of carbs and generally find I'm having two meals a day, because…

made it for lunch and it was amazing, I can't believe how light and tasty the dough was, definitely making it again!

How do you know when you're in ketosis, more energy, less hunger?

ok thanks for this about to make it for lunch.... :)

making my own mayonnaise, so what do I do with all the egg whites!! Help!

still seem to be in ketosis (moderate) so something's working!

Beginning my third week on keto, 4lbs first week, 1lb this week so definitely slowed down. This week I'm eating breakfast first (eggs) to get more protein in then main meal at lunch time and soup or beef broth in the evening. Might make a difference, I decided to do this after watching Barbara ONeil on You Tube. A friend…

thanks

Finally got my ketostix, they've taken just over 2 weeks to arrive, tested my urine and I'm in moderate ketosis which I think is good, now will I get 'large' or will it stop showing in my urine...will see. :/

My very lazy quick lunch is half an avocado with squeeze of lemon juice salt and black pepper about 40 grms of full fat cream cheese and smoked salmon... all my favourite things on a plate mmm :)

Do you make your own coleslaw?

Missnewme, I've begun taking vitamin D and magnesium, but will watch this video, I like Dr. Berry best too. thanks for posting theses links it really helps!! :) :)
