  • No dairy for the first 21 days then add back slowly and mindfully. The veggies are all low glycemic index and a restricted list. The idea is to do away with sugar cravings. It appear to be LCHF. And he doesn’t recommend counting calories. I think I’ll try it to see if it keeps me honest. I’ll report back whether or not it…
  • There is a group on MFP for people living the low carb lifestyle. It is a private group but if you ask, they will provide access. Low Carb Daily Forum is worth your time.
  • Try the Low Carbers Daily Forum. It is a private group dedicated to LCHF lifestyle. There is lots of good information available. It is a private group so you must request admission but its well worth it.
  • Are you drinking enough water?
  • Bulletproof coffee is the only way I can get close to my fat macro. I usually use two Tablespoons of HWC, 1 T coconut oil and 1 T butter. I blend with an immersion blender until the cream starts to froth. It makes a nice breakfast that keeps me full until at least 1 oclock.
  • If you think it appropriate it might be worth stating that not all diets work for everyone. I'd like to see more people be tolerant of different eating styles an how they may be effective for different people. No diet will work unless you make lifestyle changes that can be permanent. Very restricted calorie intake is…
  • Just remember that the scale lies. If your clothes feel looser, something positive is going on. Be patient and love yourself
  • You only think that you miss him because of the chia seed. You really miss his caring for you
  • There is an excellent group on MFP for people who undertake this lifestyle change. The Low Carbers Daily Forum has a large amount of information available and some very helpful discussions. It is a closed group, in other words you need to ask for membership. The moderators are usually very open to new members. I have used…
  • Me Too. I love my fitbit. Add me
  • My goals: --Keep net carbs at or below 20 g per day --Keep calories at 1200 per day 6 days a week and allow 1 planned day of 1500 calories. --Low carb alcohol is only allowed on the 1500 calorie day --Exercise 4x per week Log everything!!! Day 1 is complete. My calories, carbs and exercise were in range. I logged it all.…
  • You might look at all day I dream about food website. Everything I've made from there has been good. She also has outstanding ice cream recipes.
  • I have been falling off the wagon more times than I care to remember so this is ideal. I really don't want to start 2017 at this weight. Currently, I am 168.2; I'd like to lose 10 lbs as my first weightloss goal.At that point I'll set my next goal. To achieve this I will: --Keep net carbs at or below 20 g per day --Keep…
  • I like carbquick pretty well although I eat it sparingly. I have never made pancakes with it although I have made somethings that are quite tasty. One of my favorites is the "Impossible Pie" that used to be on the back of a bisquick box. Use Carbquick instead and it makes a fairly respectable quiche. I've also made sausage…
  • I really feel sorry for the person whose job it is to develop a new Taco Bell semi-food each month. Yikes, chicken cheese fries sound almost as bad as a double chalupa
  • It is possible to set MFP to show net carbs. I have been doing this for a long time and it works well. I don't think it works on mobile devices although I haven't looked. It is easy to do and to my mind worth the 10 minutes to set it up. http://cavemanketo.com/configuring-mfp/
  • I'm Sue. I got onto the scale after an alaska cruise last year and went into shock. I was heavier than ever before. I knew I had to do something. I've tried lots of other diet types, none of which worked over the long haul so weightwatchers and the like were out. LCHF worked and for the most part I could stay on it without…
  • As with Laura - I cant find you. Low Carber Daily Over 50 ladies does not come up when searched. I'd like to join.
  • Fat bombs are great. If you google low carb fat bombs you will get a million possibilities. Personally, I love cookies. Chocolate chip cookies especially. I'm attaching a link to the very best recipe I've found so far. http://the-lowcarb-diet.com/low-carb-chocolate-chip-cookies/
  • Add me if you wish. This group helps prevent boredom. Lots of great ideas are offered. For me zoodles seem to help. I have no idea why but I've been making lots of different variations. They're easy and interesting
  • When I drink I make very bad food choices so I'm currently in the no booze camp. Vodka has no carbs but the rocky road it leads to is carb laden
  • Keto works for me too. I'm a 68 yo woman. I lost 20 lbs, fell off the wagon and gained back 6. The best part of keto diet is that all my arthritis-like symptoms disappeared. I'm more energetic and sharper witted. I had a cancer health scare and stupidly regressed to adding back flour and sugar (thus the gain). Beside the…
  • I'd just like to suggest that a newbie get his hands on some of the Free meal plans available for lchf/keto. Usually the recipes are available too.
