^^this i have a VERY picky eater...in fact, we have had every test known to man to find out if something is wrong. NOPE, she just loves to be choosy! LOL so mommy makes what (1) mommy likes (2) mommy has money for (3) mommy has time to make you can eat, or you can make a bowl of cereal. i have a 21, 19 and 7 year old, plus…

i am on day 11 so i am by no means an expert, but i have not had any cravings at all. i haven't "cheated" or even really thought about it. i eat >25g/carbs/day. there have been a few days when i didn't even reach 20g. when i am considering my first binge: april 25. MARK IT DOWN! LOL i am having my blood labs drawn that…

i agree......money drives the studies. no one wants the results to be real foods are best because boxed foods make profits.

I don't think diet is the issue. He sounds depressed. I do believe that he would benefit from being in some type of therapy, or having a general practitioner write a prescription for him for antidepressants. His unwillingness to change probably stems from the fact that he doesn't feel well, even if he can't put his finger…

honestly when i first read your post, i was inclined to answer that i would eat anything and everything given to me at the party and just blow my diet for that night. i'm not one to rock boats. LOL if it were anyone but boss/boss wife, i would feel differently and would speak-up, but in that case, as long as it's not a…

i am not watching my calories right now, but if i start to plateau, i might tighten them up a bit. i'm eating ALOT more calories than i was before. i guess i'm at the opposite end than you. :)

oh and PS, try buffalo wild wings. you can get their grilled chicken and dip it in their buffalo sauce. 2 carbs for sauce. OR their traditional wings with no sauce = no carbs

wendy's has a great menu, i know you're tired of burgers but get two patties with cheese & bacon. their patties are 100% beef and have no carbs. my parents took me to denny's for breakfast last weekend and i had sausage, bacon, eggs (with cheese) plus a side of fruit (only had a couple bites of cantaloupe) and also tea…

actually that sounds pretty good to me! LOL pancakes & donuts are two of my all-time fav foods. :'(

every other brand said 1, 2 or even 3 carbs so zero is better, even if a trace.

my daughter is 7 and she sees me weighing and logging food. to her, i hope it shows that i care enough about myself to do these things to be healthy. i told her i am doing this for health, not weight.

i have been drinking PowerAde Zero to help with electrolyte balance. :)

mine are, too, ;) but my plan is to try to cyclic keto diet in a couple of months, after i get used to the low carb WOE. i think the main thing i like about it, is that each day is different, so that overall calorie count, fat/carb/protein ratios, etc. each fluctuate depending on how much activity one does in a day.

i found who posted it - THANK YOU to RalfLott :)

yes it feels obsessive to me, and i have OCD. LOL maybe it's a good outlet for me b/c it's a healthy obsession. the way things are now, i can't imagine NOT logging food, but i do think one day that time will come. in 48 more pounds......................

this is my problem. i get enough protein, no problem. LOL

6 carbs for one "dessert" seems high to me. all the ones i make are either 1 carb or "trace" carbs. google fat bombs

i read a little about it, does it really say to drink the coffee+butter combination for each meal for 5 days. Alternately just eat butter/coconut oil/fat. No protein and no carbs for 5 days??? then go back to regular food on day 6?

No, there aren't any plans to increase, in fact, i really want off them. i was on ALOT of meds, and Met is one of my last ones. my goal is to be med free by end of year, i still have another to tackle...

green onion, mushrooms, olives, cheese, cheese, cheese LOL also, artichoke hearts and perhaps some sardines?

that's so weird about tummy troubles b/c i have read about them, but never had any issues at all since i started it. (and i was also on it years ago for conception purposes when we were having infertility issues. i am on 500mg/day now, was on 1500/mg day back then and still no issues)

my mouth is watering :p

right now i am not counting calories. i am trying to get used to <25 carbs/day first, then will tweak my calorie intake. even with all i'm eating, i've still lost 5 pounds in less than a week.

NOW THE RECOMMENDED IS 3 dairy 3 meat 11 grains 9 fruit/vegetables

when i was in elementary school in the 1970's (yes, i'm THAT old) the RDA was 3-2-4-4 i can still remember singing the little song "have a 3-2-4-4 day!" 3 dairy 2 meat 4 grain 4 vegetable/fruits MY HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED!

i would say increase your calories (specifically fat & protein) on days you work-out. i know for me, on days i work-out, i am far hungrier than the days i don't. if you alter your calorie intake, it might help. i used to have an article about that, but can't find it. also, look into cyclic keto diet. since you are heavy…

****i have fluctuated A1C in the pre-diabetic range, have never been diagnosed with diabetes, although my mother has***

i don't feel low blood sugar signs AT ALL. i used to get light-headed all the time, and would even faint (mostly the fainting was while pregnant) i would also be starving all the time. not anymore! my last A1C was 6.4 i will have to double-check, but i think that's correct. i know my first level done when i initially…

my grandmother used to whip-up HWC BY HAND with a FORK and make luscious whipped cream topping for pie. then sometimes she would continue whipping and make home-made butter. i can't imagine how strong her arm was!

um, i think you can open a restaurant...like chipotle, only pizza instead of burrito in a bowl. that sounds truly amazing! thanks for the lunch idea!! what could we call your restaurant? Pizzotle LOL
