I've been a "sugar monster" since childhood - I'm early 50's now. Weight not a problem when I was younger, but after I turned 45, that wasn't the case & I gained a lot of weight due to how I was eating - low fat and high carbs. June 2016 I began learning about a ketogenic way of eating, and since then, I'm down 50…

Just made these yesterday and they're terrific! The recipe calls for eggs, but it does not taste "eggy". 2.2 net grams of carbohydrate each! http://alldayidreamaboutfood.com/2016/07/low-carb-soul-bread-sesame-rolls.html There are a lot of variations on Soul Bread, which is the ingenious brainchild of Gloria Koch

Oh, that site, & especially the side group 50+ LCHF folks, is something I'm going to check out. Thanks!

Just some observations (with references) - and in the interest of self-disclosure, my way of eating is very low carb-high fat-moderate protein, is very satisfying, and is completely sustainable long term for me (ie, this is not a "diet"...it is a way of eating that I can enjoy for the rest of my life and simultaneously…

Hi Crystal, and everyone else! Crystal, congrats on the start (or re-start) of your journey and welcome to MFP! I'm Paula and I live in northeastern NC. Nice to e-meet you all. I follow a low carb-high fat-moderate to low protein way of eating (7% carbs, 23% protein, 70% fat on 1200 cals/d) and love it. I just started LCHF…

Wishing a renewed spirit and a compassionate heart for everyone to carry through the upcoming week.

Hi all...I just cannot keep up with all of your messages...whew! I have a question though...does anyone in the group who may be following a Low Carb High Fat way of eating utilize "fat bombs"? If so, please message me...I may never find your response unless I camp out on the computer. LOL! Thanks! I hope everyone is having…

Have gotten in about 2K steps already this morning, doing nothing but some off-leash training with my dog, Dooley. At this rate, he's going to have in down in a day or two. Haha! I hope everyone has a great day! Welcome to the new ladies who have joined in...I'm still new here too, but it's a really friendly group of…

Good morning, everyone...I've discovered something new to add to my plan to slim down. I'll be in the shower - with my Dawn - if anyone needs me. LOL! Have a great day, everyone!

Good morning, everyone - wishing all of you a wonderful day filled with victories, large or small!

good saturday morning, all! i'm not sure why, but when I try to "quote" post more than a line or two, the preview and post reply boxes get lost - can't see them at all & can't get to them. Allison,sure sounds like this dentist is a square peg in a round hole. It's so hard to work in an environment like what you…

Uh-oh...I must have just broken a MFP rule...I did NOT type *kitten*hole...I typed donkey-butt

Everyone else... :D Hi!!!

RE in TX – your way of eating sounds like a great plan for you, because it’s “officially” working!

Allison – re: the dentist…I'm not fully up to speed with your situation with this dentist, and I don't even know what your job is there, but my brother is a dentist and he and I talk fairly often about interactions with the professionals he hires to be "the face" of his practice (the receptionist and the insurance…

Karen in VA – I probably read about the 5/2 plan, but I can’t recall the details because I was so focused on the 18:2 structure. What is 5/2? OMD, Carol! How awful for the child hit by the mini-van in your neighborhood, and for his mom! (BTW, y’all, “OMD” means “OhMiDog!” LOL!) I sure hope he will be ok! How lucky for you…

Good morning, ladies! Congrats, positive thoughts, and prayers going out to all for your various achievements, challenges, and disquiet. Also, thank you for accepting/sending friend requests from/to me! Do any of you ladies incorporate fasting into your way of eating? I'm following a LCHF way of eating and I'm seeing a lot…

:o Popping in to say a quick hello and oh gosh, there are several hundred additional posts! No one can say this isn't a chatty group! I've not enough time to properly respond right now, but wanted y'all to know I was thinking of you and sending positive energy to each of you!

Good morning, everyone! I wasn't able to catch up with any posts at all yesterday so today has been a marathon read of 3 pages of posts. Being new to the group, I'm not able yet to keep straight who is who, but I'm struck by the genuineness of everyone...how refreshing! Happy Birthday to stumplovingly & Linda! Dawn in MD,…

Thanks for the welcome, Barbie! I love your puddles...er, "poodles"! My sister has a rescued black standard poodle boy named Jackson...my dogs (6 of them) are all rescued mutts of the large dog variety and range in age from about 8 yrs to 14 yrs; the resident kitty found us in 2009 and decided she wanted to live here...we…

Newbie alert! I'm Paula, and I've recently started using MFP to help me track my journey back to health! In browsing the community boards, you ladies sure seem to have it going on! I don't think I've ever seen a community board thread that's as active and friendly seeming as this one. I won't bore you with all the details…

Julie, I don't have a gluten allergy, but I do have gluten sensitivity, as demonstrated by the increase or decrease of symptoms relative to the amount of gluten in my diet (psoriasis, joint discomfort, headaches). If you're experiencing severe symptoms that you feel may be gluten related, definitely see a doctor who is…
