Thanks for your post @Roseygirl1. Whenever I purchase a lchf book, I like to view the author(s) lecturing about their topics as well. Hearing it in their own words reinforces what I have just finished reading. I agree with above who said to watch his lectures on YouTube or dietdoctor.com. I think you will gain even more…

......You look at the carb count in the protein powder you are purchasing .......You eat peanut butter out of the jar with a spoon ........You order two hamburgers and throw away the buns ........You don't touch the "bread basket" on the table when out with friends and they ask if you are feeling okay .......Your breakfast…

Just ditto all of the above x 100!! :)

Would love to say that I lost my "sweet tooth" but unfortunately I was born with it and I will probably die with it. This woe contains it but it will always be lurking under the surface.

@NonnaTurtle: Thanks for sharing your story. You are not alone on this forum, and probably helped a lot more people than have shared on this thread. Some people prefer to read and not post, therefore consider yourself a winner for helping them as well. Merci beaucoup :)

A really greatl NSV!!! Glad you shared. Scorpios Rule!!

Keep up the good work!

Today I am embracing my gym workout. Didn't want to go, picked up my partner and complained the whole ride there how I wasn't into it. Started slow but half way along picked up speed and had the best workout of the week. Moral: sometimes we just have to do what we don't want to do and it turns out much better than…

@kmn118 : Hysterical!!! Never had seen that clip before!!

Personally, I'd stay away from any nuts due to some kids with severe allegies.Kids in my neighborhood generally want candy, so one year I compromised and bought individual bags of popcorn. (Not too many kids, hence, not too expensive.)

My step it up goal for Sept. was to lose 2lbs. So far I gained 1 lb. :'(

@Dragonwolf: Considering all the two of you have been through, you did remarkedly well. Hang in there and good thoughts for your hubby!

He's lying! :D

I lived for many years in Rockbridge County, and visited Farmville many times probably for furniture!!

Finally, someone in SC. Aiken County here.

I I do the same thing!! Back in another state, I trained them to tap on my sliding door for peanuts from my hand. I think they are really cute and hoping by feeding them they don't eat the shingles on my roof. LOL

Ditto the above. We've all been there. Stay off the ridiculous scale and get back on the wagon. That's the only way to handle it.

Count me in on the chocolate test! LOL

A plain unsalted cracker doesn't have much taste, so I'd be at a loss to do this experiment.

@nicsflyingcircus: Outwardly I take all wins, inwardly not so much. LOL

Personally, I use a hand full of frozen berries in my smoothie (less carbs than 1/2 bananna) however, I think kirkor hit it on the head.

Honestly, I have found just the opposite. I take 200-250mg of magnesium at bedtime and really feel it helps me fall asleep. Watch out for vivid dreams!!

Could it be related to seasonal allergies?

@RalfLott : Can you buy the Raw Rev bars singly anywhere. I hate to buy a box and perhaps not care for them. I haven't seen them anywhere in my neighborhood.

I've had those dreams myself. Usually eating my favorite cookies, like 5 large ones, even see the color of the icing. What a relief when I wake up. I don't believe I will ever truly be craving-free. Every so often it gets intense and sometimes I weaken, but go straight back to keto at the next meal.

nicsflyingcircus: Nice to meet another fan. I live in the land of tigers and gamecocks!! Even though I worked at USC I proudly wore my VT on casual Friday. (No one acknowedged it :'( We did okay today but gosh it was Liberty.

@Sunny: Awesome!! Bravo!

Finally!! Glad you got to indulge in something!!

One word: Fabulous! Keeping in maintenance mode is new but should prove no problem compared to your past year!!! Keep it up!

@collegefbfan: Go Hokies!!!!!!! :)
