I have found that I'm not missing the obvious bread and pasta and other high carb foods. In fact my problem giving the carbs up wasn't hard at all. I just am struggling with understanding this diet haha. I now know I have been eating too many calories a day. My carbs have always remained low, protein has always been ok or…

I thought fat was what kept us feeling fuller for longer? I thought most of my diet was supposed to be fat and protein ??

It's hard, cause I thought I had done my research before starting the diet and I have a few friends all doing this diet and they don't really calorie count as such, although they do monitor all foods on his app. I made a mistake of not calorie count and now I'm 7 lb heavier than I was before I started!!! How long did it…

I agree! When I first started the diet I wasn't at all calorie counting. I just assumed calories didn't matter as much!! It was the carbs I needed to count not calories but I have realised the hard way that it's both that need to be monitored!!

So do you not eat any process meat anymore?? I eat a lot of pepperoni and bacon! Do you think I should avoid these on a daily basis then cause of the nitrates in them?

So how do u monitor the salt??

I do use more salt. I use Himalayan salt. On practically everything. I just don't know how to monitor it on this App. I have not tried boulion tbh, I've been using bovril beef. Is that not good then?

Hi thanks so much for reply to my message! I do add salt to everything. Himalayan salt? I just don't add it to my mfp diary. I do normally eat a lot more protein, in fact I think I've been eating too much, if that's possible!! I do want to ditch more carbs so are you suggesting more protein and even less carbs? My calories…

I keep forgetting to log my meals on the mfp.

Wow sunny bunny. Fantastic read. Thank u so much for taking the time to write to me. My partner is diabetic type 2. So should he avoid eating too much protein then as it turns to glucose as he's diabetic?

I now know I've been over eating on calories, so will manage my portion sizes more and fill up more on veg and salads rather than cheese!!

Thank u for ur very informative read. X

Ok thanks. I appreciate everyone's replies it's all so daunting. I just want to lose weight the correct way doing this healthy eating plan but I'm struggling with high calorie foods. I just do t know how to get more fat I my diet without eating the high calorie foods!! X

Ok I thought as much. I'm defo consuming too many calories.

But how do I get the fat I need without eating high calorie good?

Chicken, mushrooms, asparagus and cream on a bed of cauliflower cous cous!!!!! Xx
