Funny thing is, I had this issue prior to eating LCHF. I was so 'tired' of eating the same foods. For me, I figured the dissatisfaction concerning my food was/is a side effect of my dissatisfaction with work/house issues/life. Work/house/life issues are not easy to change, but doing something different with food is, so, I…

Nov 2. Survived the candy cravings by making a low carb peanut cookie. Successfully stayed on plan, within macros and counts.

11/1 was good for me. Perfect on my macros, carbs and calories. I am really fighting an urge to eat some candy today. Trying to figure out why. When I think about why I want it... all I get is that is just sounds really good/enjoyable to eat. I don't really feel a physical craving... a mental one I guess.

I feel your pain.

I ended up having it for breakfast and lunch. So happy I remembered that item.

@Pinkemi , I suggest looking into the pinned posts for the various plan info and then decide which is best for you. My husband can just 'eat less carbs (no white bread or potatoes)' and lose weight with ease. I, on the other hand, have to be very specific. I used to do Atkins, but then was lead to Keto. Both good low carb…

Stick to the plan, except for Thanksgiving meal and then right back to it. My weight will fall as long as I stick to the plan, so no numbers from me.

LOL... just got a text from my husband. 'That is some good stuff. Good Job.' He isn't LCHF, so that means a lot to me.

I make sure to stick to a strict macro ratio because i'm doing Keto for the Cancer prevention(and to lose about 100 pds). So I have to follow it like people who use it for seizure control. I do 75% fat, 20% protein and 5% carbs. I have a calorie goal that is a 'slow loss' number and make sure I do that or a few hundred…

Crown and diet coke. I have Hashimoto's, but I also have thyroid cancer. So I'm a bit complicated concerning that. I'm doing Keto, which is very low carb, in the hopes that the 40% reoccurence rate won't apply to me. Keto is supposed to be very anti-inflammatory as well. There are a few recipes out there for low carb…

It depends on what kind of Low carb diet you are trying to follow. There are a few different ones with different goals/ideas/suggestions/'rules'.

High Fat.. I have 75% fat 20% protein 5% carbs and am not hungry. The fat is what keeps the hunger away. The bullet proof coffee is how I start my day with coconut oil and a sugar free sweetener, sometimes some other stuff added it to give it variety. Getting the fat first thing in the morning gets me started with my fat %…

http://smashburger.nutrition.gipsee.com You get to pick each thing you want on your food. I'm so excited that I stuck to the plan tonight!!!!! Yay

I'm trying to figure this out myself as well. I did really well for a month...about 8 months ago. And then I start and fail, start and fail, start and fail.... Now I'm back up to my old weight and starting again. One thing I'm changing is that IF/when I screw up and give into temptation, I'm not going to just write off the…

Carbs.. I want them. I'm hungry, but not hungry. I just want to eat a plate full of noodles I'm grumpy. Kinda feels like PMS grumpy but shouldn't be that. A little headache, but had a bad day at work and that happens

the feed... I don't see a way to do that from the app. How annoying is that?

My friend has a child. As soon as she stopped breastfeeding, the child started having seizures. She then went round and round with doctors and found the charlie foundation. She put her baby (six months) on the keto diet monitored by the neroligist, and now she doesn't have seizures. If anything odd happens and she get out…

I started, again, this week. 100 to lose. I'm trying to figure out how to 'stay with it'. The sugar withdrawals suck... and the keto flu... but I 'know' long term this diet will be best for me. If I can just get through the first two weeks... I'm be ok, at least until I run into a vacation weekend. I need to figure out…

they just posted a study that found that when people used the fitbit to help lose weight, they ended up gaining. I have a Fitbit, but I use it to help track my heart rate and steps, not to see if I can eat more. If I have a day where I do a TON of extra exercise that is not normal for me and I'm still hungry, I'll eat a…

Per 8 ounces: Whole milk - 11.4 grams of carbohydrate 2 % milk - 11.7 1 % milk - 11.6 Fat-free (skim) milk - 11.9 Buttermilk - 11.7 Goat's milk - 10.9 Half and Half - 10.4 Light Cream - 7.1 Heavy Cream - 6.6 I order a breve and ask if they use half and half or cream.

Sounds like Keto flu. You need a TON of salt. Google Keto flu to get the skinny. Also, there is a static discussion thread at the top that had a lot of good info (including the Keto flu). 'Start here! The LCD Launch Pad' It is insane how much salt you need while in ketosis and drinking a lot of water. Potassium and…

Lily's brand makes chocolate bars with Stevia as the sweetener. It helps me through my chocolate cravings without the 'got have more' feelings I get with a chocolate bar that has sugar. So I get the chocolate craving satisfied without the sugar binge side effects.

Keto Calculator. The MFP one is based on Calories In Calories Out. I have been following the Keto Calculator and have beaten the 'in 5 weeks you would be' weight that MFP gives me by two months. :-)

I had it

I had my gallbladder out two years ago. I'm doing fine LCHF-keto. Losing a lot of weight, no matter what diet, can cause gallstones. That is not the reason I had mine out, but when I was considering surgery, that was one thing the doctor brought up.

I'm going to make this one this weekend. http://www.sugarfreemom.com/recipes/sugar-free-low-carb-chocolate-crazy-cake-egg-free-dairy-free-nut-free-gluten-free/

I made this the other day. http://www.ditchthecarbs.com/2014/02/07/chocolate-heaven-cake-low-carb-wheat-free-sugar-less-nut-free-gluten-free/

I made a great keto cheesecake. I'm experimenting to find a cake for my birthday in early Feb. I also bought Swerve sweetener to cook with.
