@Scochrane86, Congratulations!! Yes it takes more effort, commitment, dedication, ups and downs, but in the end it was and is YOU who made the change. Avoiding surgery is the way to go. You'll also find this WOE is anti-inflammatory by nature and you will start seeing/feeling those benefits soon (if you haven't already).…

Welcome back @memelizzy. Success is when you fall, you get back up and get back on the program :)

Sodium and magnesium are key for feeling of well being and energy. I take magnesium malate 400 mg morning and another 400 mg 1 hour before bedtime. To get 3000 mg of sodium will be 2 teaspoons of salt (I like sea salt and pink Himalayan salt). Every morning I place 2 teaspoons salt in a small mason jar with 6 tablespoons…

I am doing nutritional keto (vs medical keto for health problems like seizures, cancer). Have been on this WOE for 6 months and have lost 33 pounds so far. I am 55 yo postmenopausal. This lifestyle has cleared up heartburn/GERD, joint pain, fatigue to name a few. I feel soooo much better and for that alone I am determined…

Hardee's will do a low carb burger...No bun, meat and fixings wrapped in lettuce. Some pizza joints will do toppings in a pan (meat, cheese, sauce, veggies, etc). I avoid fast food for the most part.

Well, I thought I had posted yesterday with my goals. Late jumping in on this challenge, but better late than never, huh? GOALS: Walk a mile every day----done Jump on mini trampoline 10 minutes/3 times a week Drink at least 32 oz water every day----done Focus on meeting my macros----not so good Log every day----done

5 miles total so far out of 31

@k80flec Thanks for the encouragement :)

4 miles total out of 31

Well fudge, I really wanted to start right on this. Yesterday was a butt kicker for me, then today hours on the road to get to the beach for a mini vacation. No measured miles for day 1 and 2. Hopefully can make up for it tomorrow with walks on the beach.

I am in for 1 mile every day.

Good advice by kpk54.

That is excellent, @EbonyDahlia !It takes a lot of courage and determination to make such a life change. I am sorry to hear about your dad. You are on the right track. Insulin resistance is also known as Metabolic Syndrome, or pre-diabetes. Usually start seeing rising fasting BG labwork, high cholesterol, weight gain,…

@karisbear, Would you mind giving your height? And what is your goal (weight loss, maintenance, or gain)? Are you lifting weight regularly? Your diary is not set up to reflect your protein intake. That is Very important. Your carb count is good.

@wozy46, According to the OKL chart (which I follow and is based on gender and height) your macros would not be affected by your age. You would adjust your fat macros downward (but not less than 60 grams) to facilitate weight loss. It makes a huge difference to make sure you eat the suggested amount of protein for your…

@Juliegray1963 You're welcome :) @pacific904--this sounds gooood! I love mushrooms

@abundantlyme I am post menopausal and IR. I began keto about 4 months ago. Really focusing on it the last month. One thing I have found that has helped me is to focus on my macros that I got from a FB group "Optimal Ketogenic Living" According to your height your macros would be; Protein: 91grams, Fat: 68, NET Cho: 23.…

@abundantlyme , would you mind giving your height?

Good Saturday morning from North Alabama! Baby, it's cold outside! At least it is for us at 27 degrees. But, the sun is shining and I am so excited. This evening hubby and I will go out to dinner and maybe do some shopping at Costco or Sam's (or maybe both!). This is big for me since I am a stay at home caregiver for my 92…

Well, since joining this group challenge 12/6 I have lost 2 pounds thanks to the renewed focus on my goals. I am happy to see that sticking to my plan does work. I hope everyone else is achieving their goals, too. Rock on!!! Oh, I also wanted to say I got my electric pressure cooker in today and I am stoked about using it!
