I'm 4kg (9lbs) off my goal weight. The last couple weeks I've relaxed into more of maintenance zone or at least haven't done too well with logging (so much for motivated May lol) I'm probably going to get back into following meal plans next week just because I lack the energy to decide what to cook and fit it into my…

All these vegetables are listed under eat occasionally. It's because they have higher net carbs. So kale is like eat as much as you like whereas you may need to pay more attention carb wise for things like broccoli. " Eat Occasionally Vegetables, Mushrooms and Fruits some cruciferous vegetables (white and green cabbage,…

I'm pretty open about it but it only comes up when I'm either declining food or when people comment on weight loss. If these result in further queries I explain why and my progress but never push other people to go low carb. I talk about it less now that when I first started as I wanted to be held accountable at the start…

Had a quick look at your diary. Looks like your main issue your bread: Honey Oat Bread, 1 slice = 22g carbs Skip it, load up the leafy greens, eat a couple more eggs or some bacon instead. You'll be less hungry with 110 calories from fat and protein rather that carbs.

Hashbrowns! https://www.ketoconnect.net/recipe/cauliflower-hash-browns/

Yeah I agree re:fibre. No reason not to go with net Carbs especially as a one off. Not that I have that much choice in New Zealand standard packaging uses net carbs...

Bacon and guac is a go to for me. For a meal add in some leafy greens, tomato and cheese. Who needs sandwiches when you can just eat the fillings? :wink:

All good. I assume they do that for people who are focusing on cutting out sugars but aren't low carbing. Edit: Googled it, probably because total carbs won't usually equal fiber + sugar "United States Federal Law requires that companies state on the nutrition facts label the total grams of carbohydrates, dietary fiber,…

The 6g of sugar will already be counted in your Carbs. Macros are top level: protein, fat, carbs. Nutrients are the next level. Fats total of 56g include trans, saturated, polyunsaturated etc and the carbs total of 15g includes fiber, sugar and starches

So my motivation is being able to walk and the fact that my waist measurements suddenly put me at risk of heart disease. I have RA and I gained about 5kgs after moving from a shop floor job to a desk job. After a sudden flare up I was put on prednisone for what was meant to be a month but stretched closer to six. All up I…

To a point but the longer you do keto the better your body is at using ketones so over time the purple may fade despite being in ketogenesis.

At a party last night I had 3 people compliment my legs on being tone and one girl who didn't recognise me at first ended up grilling me on my current diet and was really suprised when she found out I'd been eating bacon for breakfast this past week.

That is an awesome idea! I'm bad for helping myself to a couple slices of cheddar before bed. I was contemplating making not eating after 9 a rule but sometimes that's when I get home. I'm just going to focus on meeting my macros (down to the last 3.4kgs) :) And exercising three times a week. Pretty bang on for both…

Haven't met my step goal at all but I feel I've been way more successful in other activities so I'm not too phased: 24/4 - Kick scootering 15 minutes, Zumba 50 minutes. ( 7,682 steps) 25/4 - Rest + Food prep day (5,167 steps) 26/4 - Kick scootering 50 minutes, Aquacise 50 minutes. ( 7,863 steps) 27/4 - Kick scootering 15…

Updating macros after you've lost weight is because your body ends up needing less calories for day to day functions so they need to be reduced as you lose to retain the same deficit. However if you're instead building muscle you end up needing more calories in order to maintain them. Since you had a look at a calculator a…

I think that depends on a number of things. Do some reflection. What are your measurements doing? Have you been gaining muscle? Have you been injured recently/could you be retaining water via inflammation? Do you need to readjust your calorie goal to reflect your current weight? Have carbs been sneaking in through sauces…

22 - 4442 steps, bit of a rest day. 23 -7438 steps, 1.5 hours of yoga, but it was really easy yoga because I'm really loose in my hips and shoulders and that's what this week focused on...

Getting back into it(ish) this week: 15- 6,721 steps, no extra exercise so not a great day. 16- 6,702 steps, 1.5 hours of Yoga 17- 8,323 steps, 30 minutes of Zumba, which my Vivofit reckons was actually running 2.57km. 18- 6,613 steps, took me 40 minutes to kick-scooter home. 19- 12,048 steps, so only meet my goal of…

I went off the wagon a week or so and I started getting knee pain like before I started this WOE (I have Juvenile/Rheumatoid Arthritis). Back on track these last 5 days and knee pain is gone once more. This is despite me doing yoga on Sunday. So yes I'm starting to believe there is a link between my RA pain and carbs.

Yay furbabies are right up my alley. This is Bubbles and Tippy. I adopted them last November. Bubbles has always been very chill where as Tippy was very anixous and although he's gotten a lot better he's very needy and comes to tell me off when it's late and I should be in bed with him already. You can see where a matt had…

I think this is awesome :) I'm also hoping that this means there are LCHF options added to the "buy one, give one" lunch models because if they need to update the kids meals why not the adults too? It's an awesome idea but doesn't fit with this WOE: https://fill-their-lunchbox.myshopify.com/

I can only use olive oil to cook things not as salad dressing. Ick! I also consistently put reasonable time and effort into making keto desserts which I only manage to take a few bites of before losing interest... The most recent being a sugarfree peanut butter and chocolate smoothie which I managed about 3 mouthfuls of.

5/04 Fitness goals: - 2 exercise sessions per week Did Zumba Monday so 1 down, 1 to go. - Commute to or from work on my kick scooter at least 3 times per week. Scooted home yesterday evening and a pin popped out making the scooter collapse. I didn't fall off and managed to pop the pin back in but now too nervous to ride.…

Fitness goals: - 2 exercise sessions per week (current line up is Zumba, Aquacise and Circuit training). - Commute to or from work on my kick scooter at least 3 times per week. - Get my steps up to 10000 daily. However I'm going to add an extra one for if/when I get a flare up: - Put my body and joints above all other…

This week hasn't been good for exercise. Still getting over the cold I had last week. Diet also hasn't been good. Decided to stop logging and weighing while I was sick and just stick to low carb food and stop when full. Had a couple cheat pieces of cake during that time (Co-worker dropped some off when I was off work, aunt…

This week has been pretty bad. Started okay with aquacise and circuit training and I bought myself a kick scooter as I can't bike due to my knees but I wanted to fit exercise into my commute. I had a couple days well over calories and carbs. And ended this week with two days with a upper respiratory infection which means I…

So this week's summary is: Diet: 3 days well over carbs and calories because I can't seem to have one without the other... In my defence one of those days I went out to a free four course meal at nice restaurant The other two days involved bean dip... Exercise: Did really well this week. - Wednesday: 50 minutes of Aquacise…

I personally drink coke zero in situations where I would otherwise have energy drinks or alcohol. It can give you sweet cravings though.
