Ha! Same here. :( Love-Hate relationship with cheese and cream *sigh*

End the tread by finally jumping in with both feet........ here goes I have so much admiration and appreciation for all the members of this group who have shared such personal experiences. I have spent so many years trying to hide my constant binge eating and push down my shame, that I find it difficult to be truthful…

Also love DietDoctor site. So much information :) Thanks for link. Visuals work for me too.

@ogmomma2012 Good for you! Wishing you great success.... There is a side group of 50+ LCHF folks doing the challenge, if you are interested http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10435816/90-day-ketodiet-challenge-summer-autumn#latest

Roasted brussels, mushrooms and bacon drizzled with coconut oil. yummy

I log every day to keep myself 'honest' and it's the only way I can stay within my daily MacroNutrient goals. If I dont log, I tumble off the wagon in a heartbeat.

Funny! Thanks for the laugh :D

This is so insightful and resonated with me. I wonder how many of us would be in better health today, if only we had questioned our 'all-knowing' Docs, back in the day. *hand raised high* For me, it was my primary care doc telling me to take Vitamins with Iron for chronic anemia. I ended up getting an emergency blood…

You are an inspiration! I love your determination, commitment and joy. Keep doing what you're doing, kiddo. It's obviously working for you - you can and WILL reach your goal. btw - your photo is lovely

Oh god, I cannot stop laughing...... best laugh of the week.

I love this! Fabulous outlook - guaranteed success <3 <3 <3 You go, girl

@samanthaluangphixay Fried Chicken???...geesh, that's just not fair! (someone deserve a slap!) Hey, good luck with the apartment hunt :) and 'just say no' to that friggin fried chicken.

oops!...never mind. I just re-read the recipe and see that was the hi-carb recipe.

Hey Phrick, This does sound amazing. How do you roast your strawberries? Oven? Grill? Do you salt b4 your roast?

Fabulous!

I love it too! I get mine from Amazon https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B001B41CA6/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

@PamamaJane - this thread terrific. I chuckled all the way thru it. I am with you - Working at Keto day-by-day is a must for me as well, otherwise I am full of of all kinds of crazy rationalizations. Open bottles of yummy alcholol taunting you!!!! hahahaaaaa! I laughed right out loud. Even though it's a challenge, I am so…

@RalfLott Thanks for the great feedback and recommendations. For me, striving to understand the science behind this woe will help me find my personal Keto macronutrients sweet-spot, specifically for weight loss. Once I fully understand it, I will be able to see the Keto matrix :D thanks again!

@ProCoffeenator - What a great idea! thanks for kick-starting this post Hi. I am also happily divorced for many, many years ( nod & a wink to @PamamaJane ). I have 2 wonderful kids, both in their early 30's, and I am a newbie to the LCHF group and Keto woe. My long slide into my current state of un-health (morbid obesity)…

@Gallowmere1984 Thanks for the good guidance! It's great to have help getting all the pieces in place.

I just wanted to add, my 'aha'! was realizing my %Fat was way too high for weight loss. I needed to adj. my Fat intake down to around 65% as well as watch my daily calories. (see pie charts in image above) As a Keto newbie, I thought the more Coconut Oil I ate, the more weight I would lose. DOH!

I thought I was 'doing it right' but my weight loss stalled after the 1st 2 weeks. I was googling around and finally found information specific to LCHF weight loss that gave me that much needed 'AHA!' Hope you find this helpful. Good Luck!…

Hey @Phrick This might sound weird, but I have been reading about using Magnesium oil rather than tablets(hate those nasty horse pills). I read through lists of reviews on Amazon and people are reporting good sleep results when applying to bottom of your feet 20 minutes before bed. Hokum?!?! I dont know. But I am willing…

So sorry to hear your mom is not doing well. Hope the docs can figure it out. In the mean time, don't be so hard on yourself, kiddo. You have been doing great and Rockin' it!

@PaleoInScotland Thanks for the tip to read "The Art & Science of Low Carbohydrate Living". I picked up a used copy and read a good chunk of it today. So much info..... love it. I have already learned a ton and feel much better about this WOE. Thanks again for the tip!
