Google Ketogenic or Paleo diets. Tons of stuff on the internet on those diets.

MFP should work fine. Set your calories in, Set your macros and stay in those numbers. Easy. I haven't read his book but I know people who are following it. I was under the impression as long as you stay under 100 carbs you are fine. But calories do count for most people if you are trying to lose weight. They do for me.…

Plug your information into this calculator or others like it you will find on the web to find out where you should be. I would suggest you read as much information as you can on the web. If you are concerned specifically about cholesterol, then read that information. Find stuff on medical sites that will better explain.…

I believe I am addicted to carbs/sugar. I used to think it was just all food. This was due to the physical response I had to it. If I went into a bakery I would get the shakes and couldn't concentrate. It would almost bring me to tears to be around it. I couldn't just have 1 piece of cake. I hid food. I was ashamed of what…

I eat some form of egg and breakfast meat. Depends on what I'm in the mood for. I hate eating the same thing every day. For lunch I eat either baked chicken thigh or lunchmeat and cheese rollups with deviled eggs or leftovers. And dinner is always different. I find things on pintrest all the time and other websites. Some…

Thank you for the insight FIT_Goat. I agree everyone is different. I am not really exercising much and am trying to lose weight. I average about 1500 calories a day.

A coworker stopped me this week and asked me how much weight I've lost. First time anyone has noticed a difference in my appearance.

I will send you a request.

I eat lunchmeat and cheese roll ups all the time with no problems. I think some people don't only because they are processed but I have no problem with it. I also eat almonds as needed if I need a snack. Just make sure you don't get the flavored almonds with added sugar. Same thing with lunchmeats. I stay away from honey…

I can't do 2,000. I gain weight. Just tried it for 10 days and put on 3 lbs eating between 1700-2100 cal a day. Even though my macros were on point. I think the key is to listen to your body and learn how it reacts to what foods.

I just read this today. Good stuff. http://tiphero.com/skin-tag-facts-removal-myths/

I agree it's a personal choice. I like vegetables so if I go over in carbs they are usually the culprit. I don't stress over it. I try to stay under 20 net carbs and usually I do. For me it is the cravings. So cutting out sugar, pastas, rice, potatoes and all the other culprits helped cut my cravings.

Now I want some ribs. Yummmm

I started to take a probiotic because this WOE got me bound up. So far so good. Just started taking them a week or two ago.

I have the same problem and when I googled why I am hungry all the time. I mean like all the time it said it may be antacid. And even though you don't have heartburn it could just stay in your lower stomach and be the cause. So I started taking daily antacid pills and it did help a bunch. Like right now I just ate dinner…

I started this IF challenge just to challenge myself. To see if I could do it. Finally today I read all the literature at the top and have a better understanding of what IF is supposed to do. My goal is to do this a min of once a week. So far I have been doing it 2 days a week with no problems. I also decided not to weigh…

I feel the same. Always starving. Always hungry. I drink tons of water. I can't find the answer as to why I am. Even if my belly is full I feel hungry. My body must release the hunger hormone in overdrive or something.

I've done 2 fasts this week. The 16:8 works fine for me. Just skip breakfast is all.

Welcome and congratulations on your accomplishment so far.

I made them too. I thought the same thing. luckily mine didn't fall apart. but now I know the trick after you pointed it out. lol

I usually get wings if we are ordering from a pizza place. Most will have Chef Salads so that is another option depending on where your carbs are. You just have to make sure they don't bread their wings although some buffalo sauce may be a little high in sugar.

My doctor didn't recommend them even when I was eating high carb. They drop BP. If you are already fasting I would worry about dizzy spells.

I know what you mean. I have a very small very old one. So not the best. I do have a 'magic bullet' type item that I use too. But I haven't made any large in bulk items.

Hello. I've just been doing Keto for 5-6 weeks so I am just learning also. I check the boards here every day to see what is going on and I am always trying to learn more and more. I'll send you a friend request.

Wow. Thanks for sharing.

I eat almonds for a snack often. Thanks for all the options.

It is probably a preference for most people. I haven't been eating any breads so the only carbs I get are from vegetables. I do net carbs for them as I feel like that is good food.

I have been having the same problem. It's soooo incomfortable. After a week I had to take something. I've been trying to get more fiber in my diet and I can't possibly eat any more fat than I already do. It's a problem.

I also read this. I would be hungry all the time. Even as I ate or right after. I would have to stuff my self to not feel that way. I read it could be from acid reflux even if I didn't have heartburn. So now I just take a low dose all day pill and it has helped.

Fast food Cheeseburgers. Bun and all. Haven't had one in months now. But when I see an ad I still salivate. Lol. I also am a stress eater. But now I recognize it more and have been able to convince myself not to eat. Or I grab a handful of almonds and by the time I'm done a serving my craving is over.
