Also, Chris Powell (extreme weight loss show) states in his book that all the people he trains are on a carb cycling type eating program with mostly low carb days.... I've never considered it before now but I think I am going to try it for a few weeks and see how I feel/what my numbers look like.

Check out this video.... it seems to make ALOT OF SENSE! ESP considering I've been doing low carb diets since my son was born 15 years ago it's no wonder they don't work as well with my metabolism all messed up... Watch "Carb cycling explained in layman's terms" on YouTube https://youtu.be/E-DeeNWLBcg

You know you've changed your mind set when a handful of cocoa dusted almonds and tablespoon of cream cheese satisfies like the best dessert ever!

I have started BPC while IF to help regulate hormones in effort to get to the point where im able to lose weight. I use the original recipe. Ive tried several online calorie calculations all give me a calorie goal of 1750 (which I always thought was high, eating low carb I naturally eat about 800~1200)... so the coffee…

Haha that's true!! Just blew my mind this morning as I used the last of another stick of butter I just bought on tuesday!

I may be the youngest one on this feed at 31 but being the fact my body thinks it's time for menopause I thought this may be a good community for me to be in..... my weight loss fluctuates. My starting weight was 224 I've been as low as 207, right now I'm 218. One year ago I was 180. Two years ago I was 140. It's…

I used to subtract them when I did atkins, the sme way I subtracted fiber for 'net carbs'. Now that I'm doing keto I count all actual carbs and i find that i eat SO MUCH LESS processed junk food. When I have a chocolate craving, I have a bag of blue diamond chocolate dusted almonds and a bag of extra dark 70% chocolate…

Thank you for posting this. This is me too. I do great for months, then one day I snap and binge eat like an animal that's been caged. Not because I'm craving it but because it makes me feel powerful or in control of SOMETHING when I'm dealing with so many stressful things that are out of my control. This sounds horrible…

This happened to me. I started drinking a small v8 or eating an avacado with pink salt before exercise sessions that were extended. Im not sure if it was the 6-12 carbs, potassium, or salt but it really helped.

I have a Starbucks thermos I fill (16oz). I put 3tbl hwc and 3tbl mct oil. I treat it like a 'food', or something like a power bar that will help me feel full. I normally can sip on one cup the entire day. Sometimes if I'm good on my macros, I'll have a 2nd cup after dinner. I rarely ever have more than 2 cups in a day…

Ever considered fasting until 11am and skipping breakfast except for bulletproof coffee? Pack a larger lunch and it should be ok. Ive fasted until 1 or 2 when I have cheated the night before... with just bulletproof coffee and a bullion cube broth.... look up intermittent fasting. There are lots of health benefits. Im…

I make my son what we call "fake lunchables" for his lunch. Basically I cut meat and cheese into little squares and put them in a small tubberwear with little slots for everything. Most of the time there are coconut flavored almonds in a spot, black olives, and a dill pickle. Sometimes there will be bacon we cooked…

I find myself not hungry at all either so I know what you mean. The calculator says I should be consuming close to 1700 calories but most days at 1000 calories im full... my macros are good, but I eat such few calories sometimes it weirds me out. Im not avoiding eating, in fact... id be fine eating 3000 calories to be full…

I was actually just watching YouTube videos trying to figure out which one to buy. The charge hr seems more slender and girl like but the ratings say the heart rate monitor is better on the surge... the surge (at least in the videos) looks more bulky like a man watch. Any feedback between the two?

Dairy does not spikoe my blood sugars (you could check your blood sugar before dairy, 30 mins after having dairy, then 3 hours after> look for a spike. I like having hard science on "yes it is" or "no its not" and everyone is different. A glucose meter can help with that.) But even though my sugars were not spiking with…

I have lost weight on LC never bringing a calorie into the equation, anf honestly it was faster and easier. Only reccently because of some medications I was starting I started tracking calories for a period of time. 1200 calories. I still lost weight by adjusting my portions and still consuming 75-80% fat and honestly I…

Eat until you're full. Thats the AWESOME part of this way of eating.
-
Low carb is rarely ever also high protein, thats a myth. low carb, high fat, moderate protein. I try to keep my macros at atleast 75%fat but idealy 80%' 5%carbs and 15% protein. But they have calulators online. As for it being the best way for you, its not for everyone. Its definitely the right way for me because im never…

This happens to me ALL THE TIME!! I complain to my boyfriend about how the app is "punishing me again" lol but...you dont have to add stuff you didn't eat. It still logs exactly what you eat it just doesn't post it to your wall and it doesnt "encourage" you by letting you know how many pounds you could weigh in a few…

Yea I agree with goat. I dont notice any change in any energy however I am a morning person. Every day I jump out of bed and hit the gym... even on weekends. I dont use alarms- ever.

I lose weight easier when the ketone number is higher yes, but I think that just shows I didn't have too many hidden carbs.... I think saying that alone could be misleading though because I do a lot more than just monitor my ketone levels. I always keep my calories low which I know is a hot debate for keto and low carbers…

Per the diet doctor: Blood ketones are best measured on a fasted stomach in the morning (before breakfast, that is). Here are a few pointers on how to interpret the result: Below 0.5 mmol/L is not considered “ketosis”. At this level, you’re far away from maximum fat-burning. Between 0.5-1.5 mmol/L is light nutritional…

Listen to your body. It hated counted calories starving yourself. You were never full which is why you gained 30lbs back when you stoped thinking about dieting every single day. LCHF is a lifestyle change not a diet you have to think about because youre just never hungry! And, as you said, you FEEEL GOOD! I had stalls at…

I agree It would be impossible without supplimenting very intentionally with protein. I kicked myself out with protein but that was with doing the body builder's 1gram protein for 1gram weight. It was really a ridiculous amount.

Anyone who wants support/advice can add me :)
