Hello Ladies, Today has been a good day! Lovely day out for first of November! Since surgery we have been so Blessed by friends bringing out dinners to help us out. Super encouraging! Most of the meals are casseroles my family are loving them. I choose not to eat them to many carbs etc. But they still have been really…

@ladipoet-- cheese sticks is there a brand that is better regarding carbs, protein, fat etc ?

Really like seeing everyone meals. It nice to gather new ideas !

I am 300lbs just starting 4 weeks now. Goal Log foods daily stay at goal or under. Exercise 3x a week at least Loose weight not gain

Went to the YMCA and managed to go around the track 3x I was glad I went.

Hello Everyone, Monday check in! Food is going ok. Was able to make it to the Y managed 3x (12x would be a mile). So a drop in the bucket. But hey it's a start. Going back tomorrow and do the same maybe be able to go for 4. Trying to use my time off to food prep for the week once to make it easier the rest of the week. I…

Hello Ladies, I half to sit down with a pen and paper when I read the posts. I have things i want to say but my brain is awful these days at remembering things. I always do my fitness pal using my phone. I do the best I can. Today has been a good one. Each day feeling better! I was able to go to the Y and walk the track I…

Hello Happy Sunday everyone, I was really exhausted yesterday but today feeling much better . My DH did a great job on the carpets they looked great felt bad I couldn't have helped him more. Tonight for dinner I made my first lo carb meatloaf. Everyone enjoyed it. I been struggling wanting comfort foods this help take of…

I am doing the lo carb high fat by the way. No problems with constipation this week but that is because of the pain pills from my surgery.

I am 56 years old and have been eating this way for going on 3 weeks now. First 2 weeks it went ok but this week it was harder. On Monday I had surgery for uterine cancer. The results were good . But it has been such an emotional roller coaster. First part of week didn't want to eat but as it went I just was starving want…

Sunday football is on TV ! Hubby is sleeping ha ha ! Today I made my first lo carb meatloaf. Hoping my family likes it. Today I feel normal like my old self which is a good thing. House is clean dinner ready for tonight. Little things today it is good. I belong to this lo carb group on Facebook. After sitting down checking…

Great! I have a lot to loose but where ever everyone is at ! Help each other. I am trying to still understand low carbers . I get the jests but new questions each day. It is sort of interesting trying to explain it to friends even my husband. I started this ketogenic because I found out I had cancer. I had surgery great…

Kitnthecat--- I think the overall thought I am gaining is get the best at this point I can afford. I downloaded the dirty dozen lists for my shopping this week. I am going to save and buy from one of our organic farms in the area. But at this point it is better for me to just low carbs it. Keep it going. I am off work…

Happy Saturday! Today we are cleaning our carpets. First time doing it ourselves. Sounds easy watch a couple utube videos ready set go! From there going to be out most of the day. First day really doing anything like this since the surgery. Took sometime to plan out meals where we are going checking out menus and bringing…

I research the canton diet for ketogenic diet Elaine Canton. She is more strict than some. And doesn't really think you should eat even organic beef more chicken, protein from veggies etc . But she use it get her on cancer under control and her son diabetes. I have found some ketogenic for cancer Dr. Mercola is stricter…

Hello Everyone, Got the results back! My cancer was stage 1 the doctor said from all test results it did not spread. All other test came out good were able to remove it. At this time no chemo or radiation. But follow up every 3 months. Doctor doesn't recommend one diet over another but does really stress the need to…

Hello Ladies, Today was a down day. Which was hard as my DH was moving furniture around so we can clean carpets. It was hard but I did get to be the micro manager. Ha ha! Tomorrow will be a test day. Need to be gone most of tomorrow while our carpets dry. I think we will park it at the movie theater. Wishing everyone a…

Today is an overcast day but the weather is still pretty mild for this time of year. @Carlsoda I will be interested in hearing about your results too. I struggle with type 2 diabetes besides the other. So getting my sugar under control is important. I have been able to not eat desserts, candies any thing with sugar flour…

So insightful . Thank you for all of your great responses!

Hello Everyone, @Nikion regular food. Lot of spinach salads . Today I had to eat regular meat not organic . A friend brought dinner over roasted chicken from Costco. I guess I didn't half to eat it but out of meat. It was a blessing. @pneschich looks good. Today I was a bit more sore than yesterday. Sort of surprised.…

Happy Thursday, Today was a bit of a challenge. Did not feel very good. But I challenged myself to accomplish something each day. Managed 2 things so good. Eating plan in place. Planning on prepping for next week . Yes I am home but it makes it so easy to focus once on it. Not worry about it. Especially lunch and…

Today was a bit harder. Got up and started doing things over did it. So hang out in the recliner frustrating when you can see things that need to be done. A friend brought dinner grateful helps me feed my family. She brought Costco roasted chicken, and rolls I won't eat, but they can. She brought the bag to make Asian…

You are correct from my reading cancer thrives on sugar. I am very serious about correcting my eating habits going on 2 and half weeks no sugar, breads, starches, whole grains. It was easier before surgery no problem no hunger. I am still doing it. Just after like yesterday some reason craving mashed potatoes. ☹️️ But I…

I think if I understand from what I am reading the reasoning for organic grass fed beef, chicken , free range eggs and veggies is to eat really clean get rid of the stuff that causes inflammation or swelling. I have been researching veggies if they have a peel like say zucchini if you peel them it doesn't matter as much?…

Hello Everyone, @pneschich-- we have a similar restaurant in our area I love it. I would have fallen too. Tomorrow is a new day. You got this don't beat yourself up. @birgit sorry you have shingles @Kaye sorry for your loss. @skinnyjean glad you are here. Today went okay! I was having a issue with a side effect of my pain…

Hello Everyone, @Katla congrats on the new grandson @Glo sorry you are in this situation but you are doing the right thing. @Barbie-- I hope Brandy is okay. Today went ok. Contact the nurse at the Doctor's office about the pain medicine. I was having problems with a side effect of them. So I have been alternating between…

Today went well! Morning was rough. But I decided if I can handle it to just take Advil and acetaminophen. Go back and forth. The side effect of the pain medicine the doctor sent me home with was making me uncomfortable. So far I have been ok. Diet coming together again. Our budget is tight till I get paid Friday. So…

Hello Ladies, Thank you all for such encouraging words. Surgery went well. I was pretty out of it most of yesterday! But by evening I was able to walk the floor 2 times. I am at home now . Just took my pain pill i was trying to avoid it but realized I can't. The doctor was very encouraging. He said the tumor was very…

So surgery went well, Doctor is very encouraging! Lab results will be in by end of the week. So further instructions to come. I am going home soon. The good thing by the time I ate last night I was able to eat a very nice chef salad it fit right into ketogenic, Breakfast was a spinach omelette just like what I make at…
