  • Sausage, spinach, onion, small amounts of celery and bell pepper, and cheddar. Onions, mushrooms and spinach with pepperjack or any cheese. Broccoli and/or apparatus, onion, cheese. Any leftover you have in the fridge that isn't saucy-meat or veggie or both. Add cheese. I usually add tomatoes and avocado to all of them…
  • This is basically a Ketogenic, or high fat/low carb diet (HFLC). I've eaten this way for over a year and have lost over 30 lbs. This type of diet is good for those who have a lot of weight to lose. The fat consumed helps increase the feeling of satiety; allowing for decreased cravings and hunger. Mainstream nutrition…

  • Good luck on your journey! You can do it! There will be ups and downs, but just keep doing what works!
  • I keep track of carbs. I try to stay under 5% or 20 g/day. Bulletproof coffee helps me with Intermittent fasting.
  • I've been off low carb for a few months, but am back at it. LCHF, specifically. I love my bulletproof coffee for breakfast! It helps start the day, and doesn't leave me hungry. Add me, and we can all do this together!
  • Hi Jessica! I'm starting over on my keto adventure. I was keto for 3 months, and lost 25 pounds. Then I had a birthday, and all kinds of stress. I started eating carbs again, and gained 10 pounds back. I am on day 2 of keto again. We can do this together! I'll help you in any way I can. One thing that helped is to make fat…
  • My first time to join this type of group, but I'm IN! Better late than never, right? Friend me, and we can support and motivate each other! SW: 215 (7/13/16) GW: 205
  • I'm 52, and am stuck. I have 40 pounds left to lose. I also need motivation! I'll help if you will! Friend me.
  • Summer Yoga or weights?
  • Lemon. Beach or mountains?
  • I'm at the gym to get fit! If you care about other people's opinion of you, you're there for the wrong reason! I've never had a problem with bodybuilders in the gym, but in the beginning, I was intimidated, but soon realized it was me that had the problem, not them with me. I hope your friend gets over it, and focuses on…
  • I've been keto since mid January. I'm down almost 30 lbs. I've had a few cheat days, and that just sabotages my progress, and causes me to gain 4-5 pounds of water weight. Then it takes several days to a week to get the water off. No more cheat days!
  • Breakfast: BPC-coffee, butter, coconut oil, and heavy cream Lunch: Grilled chicken caesar salad, without croutons Dinner: Steak with herb butter and topped with onions and mushrooms sautéed in butter. Delish!! Snack: Keto coconut chocolate fat bomb
  • Is it too late to join this challenge? I'm going to follow this for the rest of the month. I've been keto for about 4 months-I've slipped a few times, and sometimes have too many carbs-under 40 most days, but still want to shoot for under 20. I've been trying to stay 75%/25%/5%, fat/protein/carbs, and haven't done bad, but…
  • www.dietdoctor.com is a great website and has a lot of information. There is a fee to get into the entire website, but even the free stuff is great, and a great place to start. For lunch, I usually have something like tuna or chicken salad as a lettuce wrap or stuffed in an avocado. I use tuna/chicken with mayo, celery,…
  • I've been low carb for 3 months, and have lost 25 pounds. I do work out also. Here is a website with great information: www.dietdoctor.com. They have 2 week meal plan that is good, and will get you going in the right direction. It will change the way you look at food completely.
  • I've been doing IF with LC/HF very successfully for about 2 months. In the morning I have a bulletproof coffee-coffee with grass fed butter, coconut oil and a little heavy cream. I blend until frothy. I don't eat food until 1 or later sometimes. Then I'll have a low carb dinner. My goal to start was 18/6, but sometimes…
  • Mercola.com explains and demonstrates. This is my HIIT workout on the elliptical: 5 min warm up, then go as fast and hard as I possibly can for 20-30 seconds, followed by a 90 second slow down. Repeat between 6-8 times.
  • I totally agree that it sounds disgusting, but have you tried it yet? It doesn't taste like a grease slick. It's creamy, which is how I like my coffee. When I first started I needed the sweet flavor so added one trivia packet. Then I lost the need for sweet and don't use the trivia anymore.
  • Kudos to you for starting! That's the most important part. Next, is head space! Decide that you are worth taking care of! Set some goals-weight loss, fitness goal, such as walk a 5K. Don't worry about incline on the TM. Just keep doing it. Then every week you'll see that it gets a little easier, so up the speed and/or…
  • Count me in!!
  • No desire to snack. On the rate occasion that I do get hungry or need a little something, I drink a cup of chicken better than bullion. Always does the trick.
  • Welcome to the group! Anyone can friend me, and I'll help, encourage, and try to inspire as much as possible!
  • You will get over this hump. Your body is just adapting. As soon as it "balances" and gets used to being fat adapted instead of carb adapted-burns fat instead of carbs, you'll start losing again. The same thin happened to me. Now, I'm steadily losing. Good Luck!
  • Yes, it has! It's not super fast, but it's steady progress. I do work out hard, and I have gained a lot of muscle. My body is looking much better, despite what the scale says. I have to get over that. A lot of my clothes are now too big now, and will be donated to GoodWill this weekend! I haven't measured myself for a…
  • I think I could do it! I love bacon! Wright's brand is my absolute favorite!
  • I absolutely love what I do! I don't call it a job, or a career, or even a profession; I consider it "my "calling." I have been a chiropractor for 22 years, and I help people reach their full health potential! I didn't know life could be this good!
