Sounds like you're doing just fine. The first couple of weeks are the hardest. I agree with rjj71, add salt to everything to keep your electrolytes up. I had issues with my electrolytes but did not care to drink broth. I instead got to MIO electrolyte drops (which I got at the grocery store) and since then purchased…

I have added riced cauliflower to the meat mixture/filing when I made stuffed peppers recently. I used about 1/2 cup to 2.5 lbs of ground beef (and I added shredded cheese Parmesan cheese (1/4 cup) to help with binding). I thought it turned out great. It was my first experiment making the stuffed peppers with the rice…

On the job -- he worked for a client of the law firm where I worked at the time. He was a voice on the phone until we met in person (a group lunch between both offices -- non-work related, social only). He was very shy, and I got the nerve to ask him to go with me to a house party that one of the gals I worked with at the…

I agree with nvmomketo's post. While I don't skip meals, as a general rule, I do stick to 30g NET carbs a day. Because I have digestive issues, I try to get my daily fiber in with 3 servings of veggies and a variety of lettuce types. If I get to 50g total carbs but have consumed 20g-25g of fiber I feel most satisfied and…

I agree with the other posters . . . give yourself time to adjust. Keep coming to MFP to get suggestions and advice from those with experience -- I do. Pinterest and YouTube also have good tutorials/recipes on the Keto/LCHF lifestyle. This is a journey of figuring out what works best for YOU. I can't believe how much…

Thanks for your reply. I've been striving for 12 servings of protein (a mix of lean and semi-lean sources), 4 servings of fruit/veg (max 1 fruit a day), and fat (olive oil, butter, full fat salad dressings, real mayo, avocado). I drink approx. 100+ oz of liquid each day (mainly water but I also have coffee in the morning…

Hi John! I'm right there with you. For the first time in 25 years the weight loss switch has been flipped -- I'm more focused and relentless in achieving my weight loss goals. That mindset is a first for me. I'm not obsessing but I'm forging ahead one baby step at a time. I wish you all the best in your weight loss…

Looking for interesting lunch ideas that are quick to put together and that are easily packable to take to work. This week I'm eating homemade lean turkey bite-size meatballs (seasoned with Italian herb blend) and sugar snap peas. Very good BTW. I found a recipe on Yummly to make Thai Chili turkey meatballs (I always put…

I have a dumb question . . . how do I send someone a friend request?

Hello. I too am looking to connect with people over 40. I've struggled to lose 100+ pounds for many years. I'm committed to getting to goal by my 50th birthday -- a few years away. Things are definitely getting harder carrying around this much weight at my age. Watching my food intake (excluding convenience foods and daily…
