I didn't see any sources in the original article. Zero.

@elisharenee149 Don't bother posting something helpful to those going low carb except in the low carb group. You're going to start a full blown war.

50g or less of NET carbs (total carbs minus fiber) is actually still considered low carb. You are probably getting less than 50g net carbs and do not even realize it. Example 1 Medium Zucchini Total Carbohydrate 6 g 2% Dietary fiber 2 g 8% Net carbs: 4g We don't count fiber!

In the morning, naked, after pooping :smiley:

No problem!

Yes, I've upped my calories and will actually try to hit that limit instead of trying to remain even further under. I just bought a fitbit so I should be able to track my calories much more accurately. When you have a lot to lose I feel you have much more wiggle room but when you get down to the wire you have to be very…

Thanks for your insight! I guess my goal is to have visible abs? I know that all the muscle in the world would not show when hidden under a layer of fat so I guess i'm just confused on how people lose body fat and gain muscle to achieve that look. I really don't want to spend all my time in the gym if no one can see the…

Estrogen is stored in fat so as you lose fat, those extra hormones flood your bloodstream causing wacky periods. You might get your period for a month or skip it for two months like you just did. I would recalculate your calories though just to make sure. If you are really worried then take a trip to the doctor just to…

I guess I just want to be at 120lbs and if i'm not eating at a deficit, i'll never get there. In my head, i'f i'm at 120lbs then it will be okay for me to work out and when that number rises on the scale, i'll be okay with it because it will be muscle, not fat.

Okay, thanks for letting me know! I know I'm not going to gain muscle, I was really just concerned with losing it while at a deficit. Should I get to my goal weight first before lifting?

@ My energy level is great! The problem most people have is they cheat and have to go through the initiation phase over and over again which kinda sucks but once that first week is out of the way it's smooth sailing. The only thing is that I'm scared to reduce my deficit since I also am insulin resistant so my BMR is lower…

@auddii I would have said the same thing about yoga two months ago. How can yoga be challenging? Traditional yoga is supposed to be for mediation so I can see your point there. This specific class I am taking is a specialized yoga called Vinyasa and it's crazy. The beauty of this class is that it does differ every day with…

That's the exact one I was looking at! How funny :smiley:

I knew that in my head but really needed someone to say it out loud. I used to easily get a lot of protein but seem to be struggling lately. I'll try to eat more chicken and eggs. Thanks!

@_benjammin I've been very sedentary this past year and was eager to my strength back. As i lost weight, it got easier to move around. I felt stronger but didn't know if it was a placebo effect or what. Thanks for your insight.

@dubird Thank you for your advice. I will make sure I eat back the calories I burn. Looking into buying a Fitbit tonight!

@keepgood I was really worried about losing more muscle so thank you for clearing that up.

If you are working out, you can increase your calories slightly. Maybe it's already accounting for that?

No problem! @Pinx1984

Waffles, I said no to waffles! Can't believe it.

http://www.ibreatheimhungry.com/2012/01/cream-cheese-pancakes.html These taste AMAZING! ...and i just see that you want low calorie, not low carb. Oh well...just throwing it out there.

I'll use Triscuits as an example! http://calorielab.com/brands/nabisco-triscuit/64/2003409 This website gives the nutritional facts for Triscuits. We can see that they are have total of 20g of carbs per serving. 3g of those total carbs happen to be fiber. I simply take 20g total carbs- 3g fiber = 17 net carbs. That 17g of…

That's not the problem. Fruit is fine. It's when people say it's a "different" type of sugar than candy or soda that frustrates me.

You really cannot eliminate glucose no matter how hard you try unless you only eat meat! The carbs I do get are from vegetables or trace carbs from spices etc. I can keep under 20 if I try very hard. I am also only counting net carbs which means I do not count fiber.

You only pointed out my insulin resistance, not the PCOS. I will never reverse my PCOS, only treat my symptoms. It was extremely rude of you to trivialize my experiences by saying my statement is completely false. You have no idea what I go through on a daily basis. If your solution is to calorie count and exercise in…
