They say magnesium helps you to sleep you may also be lacking in melatonin which your body naturally produces to help you sleep you might want to try supplementing melatonin for a short period but not Long term because it's been tested and proven the body will stop producing its own if you stay on a supplement for too…

I checked the LCHF forum and found out my symptoms point toward low on magnesium since one of the other symptoms I was having was numbness and tingling. I've since increased my magnesium along with ketoade to increase sodium intake and will see how things go tomorrow. Thanks for having a place to refer to for LCHF :)

This week I managed to lose one pound but not surprised since I'm not able to workout as much because I pulled a muscle in my upper back shoulder area ugh! But did get in exercise mowing the yard yesterday aka with the help of icy hot and felt great when I was done but woke up today in pain and stiff again

They say to help with sugar cravings eat more fat another option if you really can't help but want something sweet sugar free jello with a little whip cream in emergencies or last resort because its not encouraged to eat on a regular basis bc it might become addictive is making your own fat bombs. There's sites out there…

Here's my goals: SW: 183 GW: 145 Carbs: sticking to 30 or less Exercise: HIIT 2 times a week weight training 6 days a week According to body space it's going to take me 2 years to reach the figure I'm wanting but I have lost…

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your mom, I understand the emotional eating because I did the same thing ( my mom passed away 2 years ago and I still have moments of emotional eating) but did finally get back on track enough to lose the 25 lbs I gained after her death but still need to lose 30 more and I started…

Those are my favorite wraps and tortillas to especially when we're on the semi truck for a week or more at a time really helps me not indulge in the bread products my fiancee eats :)

I eat 2 sometimes 3 eggs daily with bacon love breakfast!

I'm looking for more low carb friends too

I love Butter Bob Briggs! He gives great advice :) and I sent his butter make your pants fall off to my brother and he's been following Bob's advice and has lost 20 lbs in 3 weeks :) hoping to get more results myself as I stay on LCHF :)

I'm in for trying the Ad Libitum April :)

Thanks everyone for the neat tip ideas going to get shopping tonight

Thanks for the info :) I'm in the 30 grams a day carbs category since my weightloss has stalled I was doing 50 grams but found that's when my weight just would not budge so I've dropped it to 30 hoping to see the scale and inches start coming back off :) I workout 5 days a week and try to keep it below 30 most days to stop…

You can do it :) good luck to you praying that another solution for your pain will be found God Bless!

Wow! Thank you all for the advice and I already feel better with day one behind me and no Atkins products yay! I lost a couple of ounces from yesterday to today it's not much but at least the scale moved yay!! So I know you are all right and if it's not real food don't eat it just really disappointed that the product is…

Thanks everyone for the advice so far I'm already seeing the hunger issue go down since I haven't eaten any Atkins products today and drank only 2 glasses of tea with a tablespoon of splenda the rest of my liquid intake has been water :) I worked out to a " pink" The Firm DVD 55 min and heavier weights and already feeling…

Thanks for the advice I think you're right I need to cut out the fake Atkins foods and go back to real food. The Firm videos are a lot of fun and can be challenging I really like them

Lol! Me 2 and of course my daughters think I'm crazy because I prefer those over some of the workouts they do such as hip hop abs ( my back and knees can't take it ugh!)

My message didn't come thru on my stats so I'll try again lol! I'm 5'5, i weigh 172, I'm 52 yrs old, I workout 5 days a week between 30 and 60 minutes with weights light to moderate and some heavy for me. I love The Firm dvds with their "fanny lifter" lol! I'm old school I figure if it ain't broke don't fix it lol! Been…

I'm working out 5 days a week, eating between 1300-1400 calories, but still very hungry so I'm hoping eliminating Atkins products will bring the results I'm looking for and get me out of this stall I'm in....

I kind of got stuck in the frozen meals and treats since my fiancee was in and out of the hospital but now that he's home I'm going to cut out the Atkins and see how I do hopefully that will be the progress I need and I use splenda can't use stevia it gives me stomach pains :(

Unfortunately my clothes are actually fitting a little tighter and I have taken progress pics and haven't noticed any changes in a while :( and my measurements have stayed the same as well. Is it possible it may be the Atkins products I'm eating? I know with going thru menopause I'm going to see changes too but hopefully…

Ok Thanks
