I will have to try out my bottle of coconut oil soon :smile:

DB I am not perfect at this carb cycling thing so I leave my calories set to 1,200 and just eat more carbs on my high carb day and less on my low carb day. The thing I struggle with the most is not having fat on high carb days. I love an avocado and salad dressing with my lunch salad. I can't seem to cut out the fat just…

That is awesome Laura! My pants are still super tight since I've only lost 4 lbs so I can't wait until they get loose.

Ok, I just started following you DB.

Awesome I will look for the Pinterest boards and send you some of my pins to add. I have some of my go to meals saved.

40 lbs, I just started 2 weeks ago so I have a long way to go.

I don't do marathons LOL. I'm more of a gym/indoor exerciser.

I think I've been doing this unknowingly on weekends. I wake up around 9am and go straight to the gym so my first meal is at lunch. I don't eat less than 1,000 calories though on Sunday and Saturday I eat my TDEE so I'm not doing the 5:2 plan but still having my body in a fasting state. I also stop eating around 6-7pm…

Thanks!

This is a very informative post. I currently work out 7 days a week with 4 days of weight training (2 upper body and 2 lower body) with 20-30 minutes light cardio (total workout 1 hour) and then 3 days of just light cardio (elliptical) 45 minutes. Plus I walk as much as I can to reach 10,000 steps. I've lost 4.4 lbs in 2…

I live in Rancho Cucamonga, CA but I'm 37 :smile:

Thanks DB. I'll think about it. I get scared to add too much non food calories.

What does the coffee with coconut oil do? I purchased a bottle of liquid coconut oil last year to use as a hair conditioner but I haven't used it yet so it's just sitting in my pantry waiting for me to use it :smile:

Sue, what day is your reward meal on?

Welcome Angel.

Sounds delicious! I also love Italian food.

Thanks everyone I can't wait for my reward meal!!!

It means to eat as much calories as I burn. This way my body never adjusts to eating low calorie and I won't plateau. Plus I really enjoy Mexican food and wine

Thanks. I am not disciplined enough for that LOL. I can do the 1,200 but I need my one day a week to eat at maintaince.

My weekend plans are to enjoy my recording of Extreme Weight loss, work out and also get some much needed rest. I already went to the gym and walked on my treadmill to get 10,000 steps. Now I can relax until my reward meal tonight. I've logged everything and if I can burn 2,000 calories today I will eat at maintaince. I am…

Carb cycling is supposed to help burn fat on low carb days and build muscle on high carb days. It also prevents you from getting used to eating the same amount of calories each day so you don't plateau.

What is this? Does it work?

Check out our post under carb cyclers unite under motivation/support for some ideas

I was able to find the tuna patty recipie on Pinterest. Thanks!

I had some green tea with my quest bar. Hopefully it helps.

The one thing I don't like about the Fitbit is that it doesn't tell you your projected calorie burn for the day. My BodyBugg would do that and it would help me plan how much more I could eat with the estimated TDEE. Fitbit only tells you your burn as of the moment you check it.

I don't know. I keep a box of green tea here at work but the dandelion root tea has been proven to get rid of bloat/water weight. Do you use canned tuna? How long does it take to cook? I will need to check sprouts or trader joes for low carb bread crumbs, or as a last resort Amazon. I buy a lot of my healthy food items off…

Yum! Are they hard to make?

I'm doing another low carb day to prepare for my reward day tomorrow and the morning weekly weigh in. I'm mad at myself because I forgot my dandelion root tea today to get rid of my water weight. Oh well. Tonight I have pizza chicken in the crock pot. It's chicken, pizza sauce, black olives, and turkey pepperoni. I will…

The chili was a hit. Even my husband liked it and is taking the leftovers to work tomorrow. I buy the Quest bars not the powder. I have seen the bars in stores like GNC.
