I do see my calories in MFP so a nutritionalist I spoke casually to the other day asked how many cals I eat a day = 900 to 1000. He is very well versed in LCHF & consults using ketosis but said my calories for a 52 year old obese female is too low. He also said I need to increase fats to get the cals up. For me less than…

This post idea totally leaped out at me when I read it. After 19 weeks on LCHF I need to go back to weighing & measuring as my "eye" maybe out. Love getting back to basics of LCHF. I have read so much - need to keep it simple & not complicated this WOE.

Google fat bombs - one site shows 60 received. Many are delicious. Way to get up your calories & keep carbs low.

About time. I've been tricked all my life that low fat works. Instead I've very slowly put on weight til morbidly obese. I've just considered I was a failure and would always be over weight. My body just wouldn't do it. But this article is a good read on the cover-up we have all been brought up on. In 19 weeks lost 25kg…

I plan to keep logging keep logging and reading all your posts which motivates me. This is the 1st year EVER where I go into the new year lighter than the year before.
-
Yep I have been doing the same amount of time lately. See it as an investment not obsession. So much to learn.
-
I've just started doing daily weighs only with the idea of getting to know my body further. As long as in a 7 day period I have an overall loss & that's what I log (normally a Monday if I remember to enter it). This WOE is a real juggle with no set rules. Just enjoy the journey whilst you arnt hungry. After 19 weeks I'm…

I couldn't do a pic from my phone in MFP. But found the buttons etc when on the full site on a PC.

Creamy Indian Chicken 11.7g carbs - even the rest of the family eats it!!!!!!! I dont really like cooking, but can do it well but cannot makeup my own meals so use recipes - I like New Image recipes as they have great Facebook page with lots of Low Carb recipes - link at bottom of post…

Very timely you have this hint. Increased coconut oil in last 2 days (& that's all I've changed) & tummy is upset today - not feeling normal so will watch this.

Well done

Just put in friend requests. After being morbidly obese for most of my adult life, I started 4 months ago just cutting out any sugars and reading labels. I didn't know about LCHF, nor that sugar is really a carb. After success of dropping 9kg in 8 weeks on my own, I started researching more and started learning about the…

Gr8 for you to start at a level that means success for you. I started 4 months ago just stopping any sugars and reading labels. I didn't know about MFP, nor that sugar is really a carb. After success of dropping 9kg in 8 weeks I started researching more and started learning about the full picture of carbs - what an eye…

Thank-you - love my kindle reading especially learning this WOE. Just got both online books, both at the top prices quoted above, but looking at them being an investment into my health.

No I use the urine stix. Cheaper & easy to get from a pharmacy.
-
I have net CA bs setup as I saw the link & opened it - but I don't use it as my Protein shake has fibre in it I'm not worried about the probs that come with low fibre. I'm trying to keep it simple

Your body will settle into its own goal weight when on keto. Stick with logging so u don't go up & fall for the yoyo. Calories is not that important, Protein & macros for your health & muscle stability is more important. What a great effort you have made. You have not won the race by reaching a number you set, but this is…

@Bob314159 Gr8 news you are losing weight - stick to what you are doing then as it is working for you.
-
Check this out. I asked my nutritionist why I did the same with testing at different times of day. She told me the am test (after fasting overnight) is the lost accurate. Retesting during the day is influenced by your eating & hydration so is not accurate. So be careful @Bob314159 as a morning negative may mean you are…
-
Unfortunately you are using just as much effort worrying about your eating every day, being just as much effort as when you take the effort to log your food, & planning what u eat. Both ways are just as tiring & mentally taxing. But I have found that for me I must log my food and plan eat day. Without this I am not…

I know it took me a life time to get into the condition of being 172kg (380lb) so it will be a lifetime of a WOE to keep it at bay. I have tried so many diets & lost a little but couldn't sustain it longer than a few weeks, and then put back on a lot more. I am now 18weeks into LCHF ketosis & not hungry at all, and…

I travel a lot having motels both with & without kitchens & also large groups at an airport where a chef cooks for over 50 people in a dining hall situation. So in all I don't have control cooking for myself about 30% of my month (which is a large amount of time). Since focusing on my WOE and logging (that's the trick that…
-
I agree & have found this. If you go too dark it can also mean you are dehydrated which is not good. So I just check am I in ketosis or not, a yes/no result.
-
I know what you mean. At the beginning the amount of times I thought something was not bad & invested it without checking 1st was too many. You would think I learnt after the 1st time!!!!! Now I question ingredients & quantities everywhere much to my husband's frustration + check 1st - then log it AND then eat it. Shows…

Friend me to see my diary. I do use protein shakes more recently as had a plateau I needed to break. But 2 weeks ago was eating 3 meals a day. Is it only for your intolerances or also weight loss?
-
@jeniwilmot Prayers are with you. I know what it feeling. My daughter has also had surgery multiple times in the last 12 months & constant nursing after a workplace accident. I was not watching what I ate in the 1st 9 months & didn't realise I put on 25kg during the stressful time. It shocked me when my Doctor weighed me…

I've just done my 2nd batch of kombucha. Scody is weird but truely fascinating. I'm hooked & my tummy loves it. Friend me if u want to share. I have not had anyone to talk to about kombucha - just read online & given it a try on my own. @4031isaiah I also noticed your other posts re LC - it is a lot to learn & also monitor…

Stressful with your dad sick, so really watch your eating. Even worse if he's in hospital as meals are not easy for visitors. Gr8 info above. I travel a lot and insist on being in control & tell people before I eat with them. Also buy meals when out and throw out a lot of the carbs. I order Burgers bunless eating salad &…

My goal at moment because of my large weight is <20g. When I cannot avoid a blow out (2 occassions in last 16 weeks) I was kicked wrll and truely out of ketosis. But was back in within 24-48 hours (yay). There is no way I would have a 'cheat day'. I would never become keto adapted. I see a cheat day as a way to mentally…

I've been on this WOE for 9 weeks now & monitoring with keto sticks. Aim for <20g carbs. Total shed = 22kg (48lb). I only use the keto sticks in the morning 1st thing. My nutritionist told me during the day a reading can be false as many things like hydration and a protein dump can also affect a false reading. It's a good…
