What are everyone's hobbies other than low carb? Photos welcome. Post something about what you do in your leisure time. If you wish... I did silk ribbon embroidery a few years ago and here's my favourite achievement. It has a wooden frame and glass covering and is made to sit on a coffee table rather than be hung from the…

@Jane Oh, that’s fabulous that you’re improving but yes, still a worry. I wonder if it is your endocrine system the same as me or not. I’m so sorry you don’t have a decent medical person to go to. There has to be one somewhere, but it’s finding The One isn’t it? :( I felt as if I had the keto flu for nearly 3 months, but…

Truly loving the answers here. They are all giving me a huge smile - with happiness for all the discoveries, and a belly laugh at the funny ones. (I'm not going to put humorous or humour any more because of the spelling differences ha ha!) It most certainly does!!! That's the belly laugh. Hope they turn up wabmester.…

♥ Thank you @Karlottap I really appreciate your support ♥ and it's fantastic that you can tell for yourself that you're slimmer - it helps so much doesn't it? Oh, @Jane One of my other symptoms has been that I struggle to wear a bra because it feels as if it's absolutely *crushing* my chest after a couple of hours. Just…

@TribalmamaEmily I think there are quite a lot of people who here who know that calories do matter so don't expect to be jumped all over; it's not going to happen ♥
-
What awesome and awe-inspiring answers everyone!!! And I laughed out loud at Keep on being wonderful everyone o:)
-
:( Love and support to you dear Carly. I hope the doctors can have a happy surprise for you and put your mind more at ease ♥

@timeyn I've a feeling that poster is not a low carb person so don't worry about the calorie or 'macros not mattering' statements. Nor the accusation that you're eating more than you think. They sound very CICO oriented IMHO. In the low carb WOE sometimes your body stalls on the scales because it's healing you, not because…

@Spush can you just massively reduce the onion to allow some flavour to go through but not increase the carbs as much?

Prof Noakes is South African and I believe this site is saying that South African foods measure in total carbs healthsociety.co.za/article.asp?ID=591 For myself, I only count total carbs, I can't be bothered doing any more maths than I'm already having to do by weighing and recording my food.

Professor Tim Noakes says that for people who are really sick, around 25 grams of carbs a day is best. He's type 2 diabetic (contracted prior to his knowledge of low carb) and that's what he sticks to every day. biznews.com/health/2015/01/19/complete-idiots-guide-tim-noakes-diet-banting-lchf/ "What carb-fat-protein ratio…

@Kate – thank you. Feeling quite a bit more myself today, but very, very happy, which is the main thing. The physical wellness will follow now. @Kitn that’s fantastic that you were able to choose so well at the Chinese meal, and that you could share this WOE with someone genuinely interested. Let’s hope sugar gets…

@Keliandra Oh my goodness, what a horrific story of 'being a good girl' following everything you were told to do by 'experts'. I'm so glad you found the truth before it was too late.

I was told by our Heart Foundation's official dietitian back in the late 80s that polyunsaturated margarine was a giant experiment at the expense of the general population and that nobody knew what the long term impact/repercussions would be. I have to have 5 days dairy free starting today and it's butter that I've missed…

I've had real fish curry before now, in a real Indian restaurant. My version uses tuna because it's easy. And I forgot to say microwave it once assembled to heat it through, but I hope everyone presumed that anyway. Fish curry (one that's properly done) is really nice. Mine isn't bad for what it is ;) Curry mayo? Hmmm that…
-
I've been having 'curry' for my dinner each night for about 4 nights. It's a sad rendition of Indian food - probably insulting actually, but it's easily made, which is what I love. Grab a large china bowl, pour into it a tin of tuna, 100 grams coconut milk, however much curry powder I want, and other things if I fancy them…

Some of that is sounding similar to me Wheatless. Have you had your immune system checked? Is it even possible *to* have it checked? My naturopath looks in my eyes to do his diagnosis, it's like 'inspired iridology' I suppose, so I don't know what mainstream medicine offers. Is it an endocrinologist? I'm glad, and relieved…

I think that dropping carbs slowly is really sensible. To add fat, put butter on things, use full fat cheese, cream, coconut oil/cream/milk. It's surprising how quickly you'll get a taste for it. You can honestly spread butter on a slice of cheese! Eat fatty cuts of meat, chicken skin, bacon... Yes, a few of us have…

That's beautiful Minties <3 1. To stay alive long enough to implant plenty of love and joy into my grandchildren and to teach them to take time to smell the roses. 2. To be able to run with the wind, and not die, or look like a ridiculous, fat old lady doing it. 3. To be able to roll over in bed without having to hoist my…

The macros that I aim for each day are around 15 grams of carbs, 123 grams fat and 70 grams protein. I'm 5' 5", 58 years old, but very active. I've been doing keto for 90 days and loving it so far. There's a calculator that you can go to keto-calculator.ankerl.com/ and that will help you find the right macros for your…

Hi Timeyn <3 We all get to whine occasionally, so don't worry about that. We're all here to help one another and when it's my turn to whine you, and others, will be there for me. That's how it works, right? Now. If you need more protein than the average bear, then why feel guilty? Keep your protein macro goal where you…

Preferably not the flour, but dessicated coconut or almond flour, or coconut flour. Just not the standard wheat flour. No grains no sugar is best.

Welcome JessikaJ and congrats on your results, wow! And yes, this is the friendliest place on MFP for sure.
-
I have to postpone. Been told no exercise for 5 days by my naturopath. All is well though and I'll start back up when i can.
-
Just a quick and happy update, everything had been caused by a struggling immune system. All the 'heart palpitations' are actually my thalamus gland complaining. So relieved! I have herbs for 2 months but will be better in 5 days. No dairy or exercise during the 5 days - except for the running I just did with my grandies…
-
@Sajyana yes, you're the first to get the new day. And congrats on the way you've been tracking, that's fantastic! 1st April 84.6 8th April 83.5 15th April 83.8 22nd April 83.1 Obviously very, very happy with that. Actually can't believe my eyes now I've typed each week next to each other like that :* Carb goal has been…

Thank you so much Carly. I've been hungrier than usual today and have listened to it. Was feeling pretty cr*p in the morning but picked up almost instantly after eating brunch, and have been feeling stronger through the day. I think you're right that I wasn't eating enough, and also that my body is still healing from my…
-
Welcome @micwrites it’s great to have you join us! Glad to hear of your weight loss and healthier eating, that’s awesome! @happylife Yes, I think you’re right, dehydration from that walk even though I was drinking from a bottle at the start of it, and I’ve been accidentally under-feeing myself lately too. But today I’ve…

I did Week 1 Day 3 and although I did it, I don't think I did it well (too tired from a long walk in midday heat yesterday) so I'm going to re-do it tomorrow. Especially if Week 2 is a lot harder.
-
I will Ellen, thank you <3 Definitely feeling better since lunch, and then since my little snack. Dinner is an hour away, and I'll be ready for it by then. I'm sure it's just the heat that affected me, and this is the second bad reaction I've had to exercising in heat since going LC. To be honest, I've been having some hot…
