You are able to count net carbs but I don’t feel like eating 60 carbohydrate today with all of that fat just to try and get a little bit of fiber. I have been fine since I stopped eating the cheese last week so if it comes up again I will know it’s something above and beyond that.

I have stayed strictly at 25 total carbs the past month.

Peanuts and almonds are certainly not on our strict low carb option list. We are 20-30 carbs per day

What are some of the extremely low carb foods that some of you like that contain high fiber?

Varies from day to day. I can honestly say, not enough.

I have had more cheese in the past few weeks than I normally do, and of course I know the possibility of cheese causing constipation. Just seems odd that all of a sudden this is happening again after nearly 3 months without. My plan is to eliminate cheese altogether for the next 7-10 days and up water intake some.

My wife and myself did a three day egg fast and it crushed through that plateau and got us moving again. We did the three day fast.

My wife and I are both doing it right now. We use the MFP app to log all foods as well. We are 8 weeks in doing the Atkins Diet (Induction Phase of 20g of carbs or less per day), and she is down 22 lbs and I am down 46!! I started at 395, she was at 232. We are losing inches right now which is GREAT!! We LOVE it!!

Congratulations on the awesome start! 50 pounds is no laughing matter! I am eight weeks in and my goal is to lose four more pounds this coming week so that I can finally hit the 50 pound lost mark at nine weeks as well. I started at 395 and was at 349 today. Don’t get discouraged as you will be able to tell that your…

I eat about 15-20 carbs per day, BUT make sure I eat my calories, near my max most days. I quit drinking pop and THAT was huge for me as I used to drink 6-8 cans per day!

I am eating between 2000-2750 calories per day. Drinking 10-12 cups of water per day, and staying below 20 carbs daily.

We are doing the Atkins diet, and stayed in the Induction phase of 20g if Carbs or less per day.

I would never ask anyone to emulate me, but I’m always willing to share my journey. Thanks for advice, and God Bless.

Add me as a friend

The reason I know you’re not a doctor is because I have seen your other posts telling people how they should do things. Also in another of your posts you mentioned your job and working with IT people. There’s no race, and could care less how fast or slow the numbers come off!! I set my goal for 3 lbs per week, and still…

I don’t expect ANYONE to say anything. I shouldn’t have to explain my weight loss and how I have a doctor watching. Also, I post weekly on the success story page. Also, each week I mention that my diary AND profile is public. Anyone may look. The one time I don’t, this is what I get. Lesson learned.

With all due respect, you are not a doctor. How do you know I don’t see a weight loss specialist? (Because I do). You’re also assuming, and responding, that I am underrating, yet I track every single food and calorie that I eat, DAILY! I am eating 2000-2750 calories per day. I also drink loads of water each day. Finally,…

Much like you, we started in May. May 12 to be exact. To this day, I am down 44 lbs and my wife almost 19! I was 395 on May 12th, and now down to 351! I’d love to folllow your journey as well. Please add me as a friend! Good luck, and GREAT start!

I don’t step on a scale daily!! It’s not “healthy” for someone with a long journey should they gain a pound a day after busting their butt exercising. Weigh in once or twice a week only. Weight is one thing, losing inches is another. Scale can be deceiving and be a downer from time to time.

Welcome! I too am on the journey to lose over 100. I started about 7 weeks ago and have lost 37 already, BUT feel like I haven’t lost much, AND the scale is stuck in Park this week. Wishing you all the best and glad to see we are now friends on here to keep track daily!

395.9 on May 13. 358.4 on June 23. Goal weight of 245 next April.

I felt the same way when I first started five weeks ago but then after about 7–10 days I felt normal and my energy was up.

What is the Net Carb count for the ENTIRE dish?

Begging isn’t the best choice of words, should have said Encouraging.

Good grief 🤦‍♂️

Thank you, and not worried about a slow as I am only shooting for 2-3 per week. Water weight loss mostly takes place in first week, not starting the 6th.

We are doing Atkins

That is why we have a plan beyond the end of this. To hear of your success and makes us even more mindful in the end

Nobody is telling you what is right for you! I was simply promoting the Atkins Low Carb for anyone who may be struggling, encouraging them to give it a try. Sheesh.

I am 5 weeks in and down 30.5 lbs (110 to go). My wife is down 13.2 as well in same timeframe.
