Hi everyone, my name is Elizabeth Maryam. I was going to start this several months ago, and then my mum passed away unexpectedly and everything went by the wayside. I also just found out after 2 yrs and 4.5 months, my husband likely is going to part ways with me. His immigration was denied earlier this month and he doesn't…

Great idea. Thanks :)

Thanks :). The other evening I think I had about 1/4 teaspoon. I'll keep that as my limit ...lol. I'll keep the pickle juice idea in mind. Thanks :)

Thank you :). Elizabeth Maryam

Thanks so much :). Do you also have to stay away from soy products/ingredients?

Thanks :). I hope as you reach your goal that your blood pressure issues will be gone :). Take care

Thank you :)

Thanks :). I ended up not being able to have the broth, as soy protein was an ingredient, and I can't consume soy for medical reasons. So I followed your suggestion and put some salt in my palm and ate it, little by little and I'm not craving salt any more and I'm not grossed out either. Thanks so much. I hope you feel…

Thanks :). Great idea; I'm putting the kettle on now :). Thanks again :)

You are inspiring :). Thanks :)

I find that also; but I have been used to having some protein after my workout and I'm used to doing activities earlier in the day. So I am not sure how I am going to work around things yet. I did try eating earlier today, as I was doing a lot of things for my dad and moving furniture and heavy boxes; but I ended up eating…

Thank you :)

Well, I finished day 5 and my calories tripled for days 3,4, and 5. I am thinking of switching my meal to mid-day. I was just wondering if the rate of success and weight loss differs depending on the time of day. My food choices were terrible today; but at least I stuck with my OMAD. Thanks :)

Keep your chin up and stay positive. *hugs ~ Elizabeth Maryam

Please add me. I need to lose between 29.4 - 44.4 lbs (to be in the 120-105 lb range - I'm 5'1.5"). As I get closer to my goal I will have a better idea of the best weight to aim for. My goal for now is to lose apx 2 lbs a week, as I get closer to my goal, my weekly loss goal will reduce. To date I have lost 39.6 lbs (189…

When my mum was going through months of chemo, which constipated her, drinking lots of water (for her it was 2 litres a day = 8 cups), taking a stool softener each morning and night, and taking miralax for three days (it always made things works after 3 days) worked for her, then she would discontinue the miralax; but…

Well done :)

I hope you come back and post. Just avoid the emojis. I will make the smiley face by using the ":" and ")" and it doesn't seem to cut off my text... but I don't use anything else (keyboard combinations or actual emojis). Take care :). Elizabeth Maryam

I am a bit the same. I like the taste of food... and really enjoy food; but I have had to reflect and ask myself if I am really hungry or just thinking about/wanting food. I also find I am starting to get hungry between 2-4 in particular; but I usually get a large tea and a big glass of water and it seems to help. Everyone…

Hi, I'm Elizabeth. I'm on day 4 and I had a bad headache on day 3 also, and have a little one this afternoon. I live in Atlantic Canada (NewBrunswick) so you have an idea of my time frame. Yesterday I had to take some Tylenol; but today, some tea is helping to ease my mild headache. Perhaps having a tea/coffee/caffeinated…

Following. Thank you for sharing your experience with us :). I have a few similarities; but my son has a lot in common with you, so it will be interesting to see what you find as triggers and what helps. I hope you find answers shortly. Thanks again :) Elizabeth Maryam

Thank you both :). I'm going to purchase and try an advocado tomorrow or Wednesday ... Wish me luck :). Lol

Thank you for mentioning this. I've had some problems since starting LCHF and now I know I don't have to worry about the fibre .... :)

Thank you :)

Thanks everyone for the tips on avocados. Would "chewable" vitamin c tablets work? That's what my son uses :). Thanks :)

Great ideas :). Thank you

Thanks for the ideas :)

Thanks :). I've never had one yet :)

I can let you know. I know my dr was not concerned and I have CHD. I'm just starting LCHF, and my dr is going to be monitoring me closely.

I believe I am like you with your carbs numbers.
