Not really. Breakfast is usually the same thing every morning. Normally I figure out what I want for my dinner around mid morning and log an estimate of how much I will consume in MFP then I make adjustments if needed during the meal. That way I know how many calories I have for lunch and snacks.

My daily activity varies. Somedays I do almost nothing and other days are quite active (for me). What I found works best for me is to set my activity level sedentary and then log everything that feels like it required a bit of an effort. After a few weeks I adjusted my calories up 100 calories per day because I was loosing…

I have an open diary too. Sending friend request to you all

Thanks for sharing what is working for you. I too find I get less cravings if I keep my carbs low.

If you are not loosing any weight you could try reducing the calories consumed I wasn’t loosing at first either so I reset my goals in MFP I changed my activity level to sedentary or inactive. My weight loss to 1/2 pound a week. I walk every day too and give myself 100 to 200 exercise calories depending on how far I walk.…

Good advice thanks again

psuLemon this list of low carb food that you enjoy is very helpful.

Thanks for your reply lemurcat2. I seem to be following what might be a low carb diet instead of keto. I try to stay under 50 net carbs and it has eliminated my hunger between meals. It has helped me to add in some extra fats in my diet. More olive oil and avocados for sure. I have never been a big carb eater except I…

New to trying keto but I am doing it not so I can eat unlimited fat and meat but to try and regulate my hunger. It is difficult for me because I love fruit and veggies (especially fruit) If anything think I have an unhealthy relationship with fat, having been raised believing it was bad. The keto diet is forcing me to eat…

I think I found the answer to part 2 of my question and it seems the answer is yes. Total carbs minus fibre equals net carbs since there is no sugar alcohols in my food.

I am in the research phase trying to learn about eating keto. I am always interested in friend. Particularly folks who have an open diary.

Hi all I am just starting back on MFP and was thrilled to see a gardening thread so I wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I have a bunch of kale going to seed in the garden from last summer’s garden that are covered in yellow blossoms. I enjoy the flowers but particularly enjoy watching the birds eat the seeds.…

Please keep posting these articles. Really appreciate the info.

I am just starting to explorethe idea of IF as a way to reduce inflammation. I am going to see if 16/8 works for me. Sending you a friend request

Happy Saturday! Enjoy the weekend

Yes it is so important. It is weird how some people try to drag us down instead of lifting us up. It makes the journey so much easier to be surrounded by others who are excited about eating health and working out.

Most studies are done by companies selling supplements instead or on the whole plant but there is some that were done on the whole plant which are quite interesting. https://botanicahealth.com/blog/whole-turmeric-vs-curcumin-extract/

Nice philosophy. Interesting seeing photos and then hearing it. Thanks for sharing

Sounds wonderful. I keep wanting to make cashew milk but just never get to it.

Really good advice

Yes it’s been two years since the initial injury for me and it has been a very bumpy road back. Try maintaining not necessary loosing while you heal. Frustrating for sure but loosing weight without the exercise resulted in muscle loss and even more weakness which in the long run has slowed healing and made weight loss more…

I am using organic tumeric root, along with organic ginger root, added to food and teas. I believe using in using the whole food as much as possible rather than dried spices or capsules has been helping with inflammation

Funny to me the middle and last picture look entirely different. She looks encredible, healthy and beautiful in the 3rd picture and just weak and skinny in the middle pic.

Everyday as soon as I stop I start to gain weight. I use the graph on mfp to see the weight changes and as long as it is trending down I am happy.

Then I add smoked salmon or chicken

Great reaason to shop. I on the other hand need to loose weight, again, so I don’t have to go buy larger pants as I gained back all the weight I lost in 2015😕 It is really motivating to remember the feeling of shopping for smaller pants. Hope you found something awesome.👖

Hi everyone! I’m late to the party but finally made the decision ‘again’ to get the weight off that has crept on the last couple of years. You seem like a supportive motivated group which is what I need.
