I won't go quoting any one comment because what I stated was my opinion but there is much more to weight loss than "Simple CICO" I still do not agree and if you google things you'll see many common sense examples. Take Michael Phelps for example. He eats over 12,000 calories a day Calories In and He doesn't burn 12,000…

I'm not here thumping go low carb. I focused in my post more on macro balance and what works for them. Simply restricting calories without balancing your macro's IMHO doesn't work. Use google and look at any longer term study. Again I'm not saying eat less carbs (It's what I did and worked for me and I have no medical…

I've lost over 100lbs in just shy of 4 months controlling my carb intake and I didn't do it because I had medical issues. I however was and I am still very heavy but i had no diabetes or high blood pressure and I did tons of research regarding many different lifestyle changes. There are strong opinions on both sides of the…

I'm confused. Does MFP stand for = Male Friend Personals now? This post surely can't be a serious one can it? I'm a guy but there is nothing special about me so I'd suggest continuing in your search.

Well said @ZombieLauren

There are plenty of sweets you can still eat on your "diet". Some may bark about using an artificial sweetener or having sugar alcohols but you have to choose what is right for you. As you change your eating habits to be more healthy you'll start to notice cravings subside over time. Dark chocolate Almonds as an example…

1.3lbs is nothing to be worried about. Food and water weights can change your number on the scale very easily. For example a single bottle of water weighs over 1lb. Also your restroom habits change daily based on your intake and things are never constant. If you keep seeing gains on the scale each day or week then you may…

There is a great group you can join that has lots of information here. Just check the groups section and use the most popular sort method. You'll see it pretty high up in the list. I do a 18/6 Fast and use MFP extensively and it's worked wonderfully.

Other things that can cause headaches too is having too low sodium, magnesium or potassium. You also want to make sure your electrolytes are in balance or you can end up with a nasty headache. They normally don't last very long from what i've experienced by they sure don't feel good. One thing you can do is to use a few…

Holy Crap! I need to hire you as my cook! Looks Amazing!!! Certainly 2 things I'm going to see about working in. The soup sounds great especially with cooler weather on it's way.
-
@ralflott Thanks for the info. I had my sodium checked after my LCHF and all my blood work was amazing. My doc couldn't pick her jaw up off the floor from the prior 3 months results. It's was pretty awesome leaving her speechless. She just stared at the screen then back at me then back and the screen then told me to stand…

@supergal3 I started slow about 3 months ago and at first I could only do 5 minutes a day and about 1/10th of a mile, but I didn't quit and each week I got stronger and walked farther and faster. I average around 2 to 2.5 mph so it's not a super fast walk but I stick with it. The other day I tried 4 mph and only got a mile…
-
Yeah I think my stride says that's about 4 miles. I know they say average is 5 miles but my stride is wider so when it's calculated it's very close to 4. So 2 miles on the treadmill and then I guess I've done more running around the house and outside now lately than I thought. I never really calculated out the distance so…
-
@sarahb29 Thanks! I remember when I thought exercise was getting up to get the door because the pizza was here or walking to the fridge for a soda. Now those 10,000 steps feel pretty good. I do 2 miles on the treadmill daily now where before stepping on the treadmill felt like work lol. I'm blessed to have friends here who…
-
@Cadori Thanks! I have certainly surprised myself lately. Also lmao...I feel like such a math Idiot right now too...I looked back over things and well seems 1.2 + 1.6 doesn't equal 3.8...lol I guess in some crazy mixed up weight gain world it might but in the reality we live in now that's a 2.8lb gain not a 3.8lb one. Also…
-
Thanks a bunch to everyone. It's been a crazy journey and thankfully I'm not all crazy over a number on the scale. I didn't like it saying 3.8lbs gain but the energy level not only for me going lower carb but to go with the IF stuff this week has really felt great. My victories these past months haven't been associated…
-
@GlitterRayne So far I've felt great. I've never had a bout with any flu like stuff and now I started doing the 18/6 fast my energy levels are through the freaking roof! I had no idea skipping dinner would make me feel so much better. So close to hitting my 100lbs loss will be nice to hit that then put it in the rear view…
-
Yeah the gain was stupid. Last week I did a 7 day meal plan it was 40 carbs but didn't involve IF at all and lost 6lbs. I changed the diet up so I could skip dinner and do the 18/6 IF. When I did that I gained 1.2lbs then I gained 1.6lbs the next day and I'm eating the exact same food every day so the gain was crazy…

The Biscuits are super tasty when they are warm.

Adding Egg and Cream do make them fluffier. That's what I do to the base recipe to make them a little more pancake-y :lol:

Care if I hitch a ride?

Silly you were above her so she was calling you back...duh! Oh and to @MJFSH - I heard you called someone trying to sell Victoria secret's new line. I'll take a case of whatever fits you best. =)
-
Well it did say post anything you want...I guess that's what he wanted! lmao.
-
But you weren't above me! lol...I'd ask..who is this Richard guy anyway...My name is Eddie...sorry you have the wrong number! =)
-
At least they took time to make the bed and do you think the couch is so people can watch? lol?
-
Yeah. I've used Carbalose Flour in replacement of regular flour in pretty much any of the recipes I've found online and it fits more into low carb when you also replace sugars or higher carb milk etc...with the normal replacements. So you can try google for just normal pancake recipes and sup the flour with the Carbalose…

The Guy 3 pages in and 10 posts down...oh wait..did I mention I can tell the future! You'll have to blame him not me...when it happens of course. Oh and I'd say "Need to borrow a hanky?"

@liftinglady5 Ah...a gal with class. Love it.
-
Those look great! Very close to what I've made and looks like you got the heat spot on. I've tired the walden farms syrup and it's actually pretty good if you don't mind Splenda. I prefer Stevia myself but I've not seen any syrups with it yet.

@JessicaLCH Yes I did find the batter very thick. I thinned it out a little with water and I added an extra egg. Made them much more manageable. A little thinner but I stacked two of them and still had only 4 carbs. Was very tasty. If you google CarbQuik pancakes you can find lots of different tweaks others have done.
