I'm up a pound right now, too, but I am certain it's extra fluid from the meal I ate out last night. Restaurant food is SO salty compared to what I make at home, even when I use salt. I'll weigh again Wed or Thurs, it should come back off. Hang in there!

Yes, thanks. I can see how nuts can be an issue, and I've been known to sit and eat a bag in one sitting in the past. Being that I've been adding them to my salad, it's been much easier for portion control. I find I really enjoy the crunch, too. I will try to keep that in mind, though, cause I am sure they can add up…

Well that confuses me even further. :wink: The pistachios for instance, when I look them up online it says that the total carb is about 8 gm, but "net carbs" is about 5 gms. Looking at the serving size, I am overestimating anyway, cause I have nowhere near 49 nuts on my salad... just want a better picture of what I should…

I will go back and check, but I think my gross carbs have been running closer to 40-50 gms a day and I was in "light" ketosis at that rate and weight was starting to come off again. I am also very active, though, exercising in some form nearly every day. I'd love to find that sweet spot for me, it's just confusing is all.…

The original "creator" of BPC peddles his own MCT oil that is a blend and supposedly with a higher concentration than just coconut oil. I have tried it and it is ok, but I did not find that it made enough of a difference to me to justify the price tag. Good, organic coconut oil is not hard to find in my area and is also…

I have used BPC off and on, I go through spurts... they suggest you build up the coconut oil over a few days to weeks, as some folks can be sensitive to it. I have used up to tbsp of coconut oil without issue, but I built up to that. I like to add natural vanilla and a little organic cacao powder sometimes, like a healthy…

I'm actually on HCTZ, so I need extra potassium and supplement it to keep cramps at bay. I'm hoping the weight loss will allow me to come off BP meds entirely.

Prosciutto & cheese! *drool*

I have done just that this time. I have indeed continued to lose inches, almost 4 on my waist this month already, a few more elsewhere.... I have also taken "before" pics that I shared with my mommy group. I am trying to focus on all that as well, but know I am going to be much happier (and healthier) to get under 200 lbs,…

Well I never dared post, but some folks get beat up out there. It's sad, really. When I lost the 65 lbs, I still could eat everything but that was just as the GMOs were really hitting the market. Also, that was about 15 years ago and my metabolism is very different now. With all my autoimmune issues, no one is going to…

I feel like I should also note that I tend to eat cleanly at home (paleo-ish) so getting off of sugar is not a big deal for me... anymore. When I did the Whole 30, I lost 17 lbs and had virtually no intentional exercise and I *know* I am at least gluten sensitive, so more the reason to push through.
