I tried this for 7 pounds worth of 88/12 from costco.You are going to be sick

Just give up your car.You dont need a federal program to do that.You will lose a lot of weight,and save over $5000 a year. If you cant do that,park at least 1/2 mile from work or wherever you are going.

If you have normal kidneys,your potassium will not be high

After the benefits of using the MFP daily calorie and carb counts I have found that for this program to work out for me I need to up my exercise to 500 calories per day. Even with close to zero carbs and limited to 1500 calories a day which is really low for me,I need the exercise to lose anything.This was not true even 3…

This is a good opportunity to see why a committee rarely gets anything right,that government is a huge committee, and the average reporter makes things even worse

Just remember your health records are no longer private and can be used against you.

This.Weak abs=back pain,poor posture.Try planks,if only for a few seconds,not allowing your low back to sag.Do them from the knees to begin.check your posture in a mirror or have a spotter/partner.There is also a pelvic rotation exercise called cat/cow which is very…

I am no expert,but estrogen pills could affect your body balance.Have you thought of another method,maybe an IUD?

As I understand it,fiber means "not digestible",and therefore does not count as a "carb"

spinach also my favorite Indian dish,so I treated myself recently,and didnt check the huge amounts of calories (1792) and carbs (72 - 52 fiber) and salt until it was too late.I thought the chikken tikka was relatively safe too (590 cal 27 carbs) I just cant be trusted at any restaurant

I dont think you would be asking an internet forum if she had a good dermatologist, so I would take her to the nearest university hospital dermatology department

Private. I thought it was really weird for the need to sign up,but I get it now. I found it by accident looking for Atkins,but this group was the only one that I saw that had a significant number of members,so it would be a shame to lose it.

Have you ever tried tonic water? The "diet" version has no carbs and tastes quite different from all the other sweet drinks

I am having a lot of trouble swallowing 20 gm sodium a day advice.Is there something about your advisor being russian that is significant? Is he actually a board certified nephrologist? Did he ever give you any references in the scientific literature on which he based his opinion? I hope you are OK

coconut oil......do you cook with it or just eat it from the spoon? (The dog liked it at first on his food,then not)

I do have some coconut oil at home that was going to the Gordon setter for his coat/dandruff,and he is willing to share.I'll try some. Before exercise? How much?

I have been low on sodium.BTW,the ability to get a well organized clear 7 day total on the food chart is really great.That is purposeful,as I do tend to elevated blood pressure with sodium salt.That has been well tested with anchovie caesar salad dressing. I am willing to experiment.Do you have a reference to needing 4-5…

Thanks.I didnt realize it took more than the induction period to adapt I have not been "low fat".I have been eating a lot of fat,50% of calories.Lots of walnuts,salmon,tofu,etc.Over 50 gm a day,sometimes double that.

Thanks My measured electrolytes are fine.I do use potassium salt exclusively.Magnesium is a good idea.I took it once for nocturnal leg cramps without any effect,but they went away on their own.I am drinking enough water. I eat loads of healthy fat from walnuts,salmon ,tofu but not yolks ,especially not 4 a day,and I dont…

Walnut /almonds /olive oil/salmon are my healthy fats

Have you thought about a stand-up desk? What are your total calories?

That is a lot of water.Beware of hyponatremia(low sodium)
