Meee! I've been low carb, always looking for more friends. :)

Top ramen with egg was always a comfort food for me. Now I have a low-carb version!

Your body will also function better hydrated! Just like when you chronically undereat, your body puts forth the calories to essential functions (which is why some people will lose hair). The same thing applies to water. When you drink plenty of water regularly, your body is able to freely use it for your systems -- not…

Or sugar free pudding!!! There's a generic brand at Fry's if you have them called simple truth. They have a light ice cream. Mainly sweetened with erythritol and stevia. Carton is usually about 240 calories or so.

They do indeed look beautiful! I like sweet so perhaps I'll feel differently. You have a way with food.

Oh my they look so lovely!!!

I'm often aware I'm dreaming so it's okay. Or the fact Im not supposed to eat my weight in sugar doesn't occur to me.

@CRZYFTM you're a saint!! ;u;

Wow there's options?! Classic vanilla!! German chocolate does sound tasty too.

@CRZYFTM what is this sorcery!? I'd LOVE one!

Try diet Pepsi. People who say it can't be addictive well...anything can be addictive. It can be hard to drop. I struggled getting rid of soda and it was hindering my weight loss. I also don't like the aspartame taste diet sodas have -- not everyone has a problem with it or can taste it though. If you're one of the people…

Ohhhh, if I find it I'll come back with a link. But the thyroid may not be the root cause. There's some other factors that trickle down and eventually affect the thyroid. Has your doctors done additional blood work? I probably sound unhelpful because I don't know the names of things. Someone I know had these issues too and…

I don't go out of my way to tell people. I explain if I'm offered foods I cannot eat, but that's about it. My mom and boyfriend know and are supportive. I can ramble about a new recipe I want to try, current successes, etc to my boyfriend and he happily listens and cheers me on.

There's good workarounds for some things! I'm ecstatic about cheesecake. And there's delicious tortillas, for example. Weight loss will slow due to water weight. Lest you have a very large amount to lose, you're losing at a fair rate.

Make a crust using almond flour and butter, maybe some sweeteners. (I don't have portions mainly cause I use a store bought Oreo crust and plan the carbs. However for another cheesecake recipe these are the ingredients I used for the crust). A tub of Cool whip 16 oz 8 oz cream cheese .25 cup confectioners Splenda or…

Have you tried to readjust your macros? Smaller people use less calories usually.

Do you weigh your food? It's very easy to overestimate. Log even low calorie things because they add up (splash of milk, etc). Are you eating back all exercise calories? People end to overestimate this too. Many people eat back half their calories because the site and your monitor may not be accurate. How long have you…

I'm glad someone brought up the artificial sweeteners point!! I was going to. Another fun fact though, not all forms have the same additives. Maltodextrin will be my example. It has a GI of 110, and is present in many small packets of non-nutritive sweeteners (granted I don't know HOW MUCH is in a packet). However, say you…

Also MFP will assign a calorie goal. It's good to use the calculator and then adjust the goals within MFP. The macros aren't set up for low carb by default

Some sugar free or low sugar foods have additives with high glycemic indexes (maltodextrin is the worst. Might have misspelled). While sugar alcohols are generally n = 1, there's a few that your body actually does digest a portion of. Malitol is one that comes to mind straight away. I agree wait a few more weeks and then…

Also take a look at the kinds of foods you eat. You mind need to change the foods you have to feel satiated. For me, protein keeps me full. 400 calories of protein and I'm good for 5+ hours. 400 calories of sugary cereal and I'm hungry maybe 2 hours later or less. You can make your calories work.

I can't post pictures from the app but... I had chicken in a balsamic vinaigrette, garlic, and basil sauce with provolone melted on top. My oh my...it's so good! Took less than 10 minutes to make too

Sucrose is the sugar. Sucralose doesn't affect blood sugar though.

Diet sodas don't make you gain weight. It's n = 1, but for some people it increases appetite and that causes weight gain if they indulge. That, or they overeat because they figure they can since they aren't drinking their calories. Personally I drink 3-4 a day and haven't gained weight from it (now when I go out to eat and…

Also consider switching the kinds of food. People are satiated on different macros! I can eat a bunch of carbs and be hungry inside an hour. Eat less calories of protein? I'm good for hours. Everyone is different.

Made this and it is AMAZING. It's 10 net carbs, so keto people might have some issues depending on your carb ceiling. Perfect for low carbers tho.

People are being kinda silly... OP has already acknowledged their diet is poor. They know this. They are aware they are undereating. If they seek help it should be just to check their body and make sure they're ok, and to recommend foods to balance nutrition. Increasing 100 calories per week if you're at 900 is sound.…

While potassium and magnesium are part of electrolytes, your body only really starts losing them if you're low on sodium. Keep your sodium levels up and you're fine. No need to make things super complicated.

Protein fills me up! I also try not to eat too much chicken in a day because of my budget. I eat it in a weighed 4oz increments (I buy tenderloins and they're generally 2oz a piece). At most I'll eat 8oz in a day so I don't go thru my supply too quick

Chicken is my staple!! But I buy it in bulk-ish when there's sales. So I try to make it last til the next sale -- meat can get pricey. I didn't think about getting salmon canned! It's my fav fish but pretty expensive. I'll see what I can find. I have cottage cheese but always forget to utilize it as a source. I appreciate…
