I think it's due to lack of carbs the previous day for me. Yesterday I ate very little and low carb and I could not lift as much weight as usual this morning at the gym. It could also be because it was Monday at 5am, but who knows

I ordered it on Amazon.

Oh man do I love my wine! Every Saturday night I have a date with my Sauvignon Blanc. I sometimes use this wine glass to watch my calories, but most times I just budget for half the bottle :smile:

I use my quest bars as a protein on both high and low carb days. They only have about 3 net carbs and 20 g of protein so it's a tastier option for me vs eating a chicken breast.

I always just count the net carbs since the fiber slows the release of glucose into your system so your body doesn't treat the meal as high carb.

If it makes you feel better I'm not big on veggies either. Sometimes I even skip them (I know it's bad). I usually can do salsa, and I like veggies I don't have to chop like mushrooms since I'm lazy Lol!

That's funny you mention the slingshot method. I've never tried it but I saved his post from Facebook in case I ever need to do it LOL!

Low carb day out to eat would be hard if you follow the plan to a tee. At first a salad seems like the best choice but without fat you would not be able to have anything by vinegar and lemon for dressing. Maybe there will be a meat and veggies dish at the restaurant? Thanks for posting the crock pot recipe!

I'm glad you got to enjoy the pizza crust today DB!

Very true, I didn't notice I was getting so big until my pants didn't fit anymore. I am only 3 weeks in now so I've got a ways until the 3 month mark. Hopefully by Christmas I'll be in a smaller size.

This is an interesting post. I always thought that my high body fat % had something to do with my pant size but some of you are a low weight/ fat % and are not a size 2. I'm 5'4" 159 and wear a size 14 (a tight 14) and per my scale I'm about 40% fat (37 inch waist). I have a small bone structure and at my lowest weight I…

Wow DB I could not resist pizza! You are stronger than I am. That's why for tonight's dinner I'm having my crock pot pizza chicken recipie from Pinterest. Welcome to the group Kamilla! Everyone have a great weekend :smile: I am looking forward to my reward meal tomorrow.

Thanks everyone, I'm not a quitter so I will stick with it :smile:

Well at 17 days into my program I haven't noticed any changes in how my clothes fit. I will hang in there though. I know it takes time.

This has been a very informative post. My lab work showed a TSH level of 4.90 with a normal range T4 in August, with low vitamin D. I'm always tired but have managed to lose 4 lbs in my first 2 weeks of diet and exercise. I won't see my doctor until the end of October to discuss my results but at least now I'm more…

Thanks for the support!

That's awesome! I don't have as much willpower so I have to limit eating out to once a week.

I might try it someday since I never eat within 30 minutes of waking because I work out as soon as I wake up and eat later.

You sure can, I save calories every week for Saturday night :smile:

Thanks Sue!

Thanks DB!

Hi everyone, this week I've been eating off plan, but still less than my TDEE in order to add sodium (water weight) for this mornings weigh in. Today is day 1 of the 8 week weight loss contest at work. It was scary to see such a high number this morning (I also drank 3 bottles of water and a big breakfast before weighing…

I agree DB! I usually make the same meals over and over since they are quick and easy, but I'm looking forward to seeing if anyone else posts some quick and easy recipes I'm capable of cooking. I am not patient enough to cook elaborate meals.

I was able to post to both boards. Thanks DB!

Ok everyone I went and added all of my low carb recipes on the low carb Pinterest board. I have my crock pot chicken tacos recipe for the high carb board but you need to add me to it :smile:

True, all fats in excess will make you fat just like anything else. I also heard that if you eat too much fat not only is it higher in calories than carbs/protein but your body doesn't have to work as hard to store it since its fat. I don't know how true that is but I gained my weight eating a very high fat diet of fast…
