Thank you for this information :)

I've already said this but I did not at any point say LOW FAT. I am aware that with low carb the fats need to be high with moderate protein. My question was " Does anyone know if the carb measurement used by my fitness pal is net carbs or gross carbs? " which has been answered. It was not about Low Carb and Low Fat at all

Thank you for the suggestions on the paleo recipes I will check them out. I do see a nutritionist and I would agree normally under 1200 calories for most people is too low but I am wheelchair bound and quite sedentary from my MS so I do not have the metabolism of the average person or the ability to burn calories at the…

Fist off Congrats! Great job! Second please tell me how you are getting that balance. I have tried and can't seem to come up with that balance. Can you give me an idea of a daily meal plan for you or is there a resource you are using to know what to eat to make this level. Essentially I would not be eating any vegetables I…

No worries :smile: I 100% agree that low carb and low fat is not something I would do...in removing carbs your body needs something to use for fuel and if not higher fats it will begin to convert proteins. It is a balancing game for sure in my case I am supposed to have 121 g of fat, 64 g protein and 19 g carbs to maintain…

I never mentioned low fat... in fact on low carb you need to eat healthy fats so your body goes into fat burning mode and doesn't convert proteins to carbs to burn. I eat healthy fats, steer clear of the unhealthy fats and I have lost 67 pounds, my diabetes has been under such good control that I had to be taken off my…

Thank you so much RodaRose!! :smile: Cheers

Karla do you know if there is a way to subtract the fibre manually and change the total that is showing in the log or do I just need to do this on paper and realize the numbers will not be the same? Also is there a way to have fibre show in the log it is not showing in mine, I am not sure if there is a way to change what…

I have not heard of the "State of Slim" until just not lol I will look into this it sounds interesting! Because I am so heavy the weight has been coming off very easily so far 67 pounds and I too was out of control with newly dx'd diabetes and I am wheelchair bound so exercise is not on the same degree as it was when I was…

Thanks Brin1956 fortunately for me I am not missing carbs at all. I am not really a carb person my problem is reconciling the my fitness pal apps algorithm as it seems to be calculating in gross carbs not net carbs so if I keep it under 20 grams in the fitness pal calculation it is not accurate because it is not deducting…
