Mfp isn't low carb. Just this tiny little corner of it is.... Reset your goals and watch as it plugs in a 50 % carbs level by default. I was happy to find this little board.

I just read it. Amazing. Just goes to show the dr don't know everything......

I've been eating sea salt or rock salt for years. Same reason. Craving salty snacks. My doctor told me that it is bad for high blood pressure. I measured mine for 3 months without salt and hated the taste of food. Then I salted my food for 3 months and compared. NO DIFFERENCE. My cholesterol is perfect and my blood…

Just dug out the magnifying glass. Mio is sucralose. I think all of the similar products are the same.

Still have a hard time juggling the fat vs calories. Yesterday I thought I would pour olive oil and cider vinegar on my salad. Two tblsp of oil was a whopping 250 calories. Then I had added some cubes of mozzarella. It added another 200. Some chicken breast added another 200. I got some fat. But my salad was more than half…

I log EVERYTHING. Sigh..... It does become tedious. I've been trying for a year and only lost a few pounds since I started lchf. Keep working on it and you'll lose. It's a life style? Maybe. I still find my old (fat) life style creeping in all the time. :'(

Tweaked my macros again. Carbs 5% 19g 80cal Prot 30% 113g 480cal Fat 65% 104g 940cal Gonna try the bulletproof coffee tomorrow Be more diligent at getting my fat intake up. Thanks for all your help and suggestions. Roger

I need to get more fat and yet keep the calories down. Fried cheese sounds good. Bacon has the fat but lots of calories too. With the intermittent fasting I am slowly losing a tiny bit of weight. I'm sure if the calories go up so will the weight. Now the weather is getting nice it's harder to ignore that cold beer. :(

I am trying the intermittent fasting. No breakfast during the work week. No lunch and more activities on the weekend. Just need to convince my girlfriend that fried cheese is OK. Lol (She still thinks low fat)

Thanks again for all the great info. I'm going to keep fine tuning things until I get some results l

@KarlynKeto How many calories do you eat daily?

Seems to be telling me to eat more carbs. That's what put the weight on? So I'll try to lower the protein and increase the fat. Might end up eating butter and drinking olive oil to get enough fat. Bumped carbs up to 40 g. Seems like a lot for strict low carb. Calories will likely get too high. It's a learning curve.

Thanks for all the great info. I'll be trying a lot of them out over the next few weeks.

Currently my target is: Fat 50%, 83g Carb 5%, 19g Prot 45%, 169g Calories 1500 Minimal alcohol Would eventually love to go from 235 to 180.

Saw no loss of weight at all until I quit breakfast a couple of weeks ago. Lost a couple of pounds in the last 2 weeks. Getting used to hunger in the morning. Seems that I have the metabolism of an elephant. And we all know how big they get. Lol

Love those things. But I ALWAYS end up with an empty bag. >:)

Wow! I wish. I've been trying to lose 2 pounds a week. MFP Set me at 1500. Desk job. 59. Male. Walk a couple of miles every day . Arthritic knees prevent most exercise. Been here for a year. Lost NOTHING. 238 when I started. 236 this morning. :#

Spend some time on the Internet searching out "High Fat Low Carb" www.dietdoctor.com is a great place to start. Carbs are NOT as good as people think. Only good for body builders. I've lost 10 stubborn pounds in the last 2 weeks. Cheers
