Idk much about all the other suggestions/recommendations/etc. mentioned above, but almonds, almond butter, almond flour...pretty much anything almond... make me miserable (digestively speaking)...and I LOVE them, which is saddening. The fact that they are such a large part of LCHF is even more discouraging. Hope you figure…

...You can find almost anything out there... [/quote] Yes you can lol!

I love my sandwich fixin's in a bowl over baby spinach...and I don't miss the bread at all! :smile: Zoodles or vegetti is a new favorite for us as well. With shrimp, portabella mushrooms and Alfredo sauce? And as much as I have missed taters, I don't miss potato chips (they weren't really a big part of our food life to…

Thanks. My fats are plenty high enough in proportion to my carb goals I think. And this is really a once in a while thing for those times when the sweet tooth & Marie Calendar come calling for me to come out & play. ;)

Ended July on a bumpy note...not quite fallen-off the wagon, but sort of dragged, hopping on one leg, down the road a piece :D So far, no weight gain to show for it, but not really much of a loss either. Still logging consistently. Under net calorie goals so far for Aug (1300/day). Lowered carb limit another notch today,…

Grilled chicken souvlaki with Tzatziki sauce over a salad. Munched on some grilled seasoned portabellas & sipped on a spiked seltzer while the chicken was on the grill :wink:

I am currently on a lowER carb woe (since March, but really focused on it since the beginning of July). I try to keep my carbs right around or under 100, give or take. As a result, I do try to keep my fats lower than what I've read of a true LCHF. Every day is a little different, based on how much activity I anticipate…

Been doing well on reducing carbs. Upping protein is still a prob. Logging every day...even when we eat out. Best news of all (even better than my weigh-in today...) is that hubby is now on board w/new WOE with me! He is already down 3 lbs in the last week!

Well...last Friday was my first weigh-in since I've started here at MFP...159 and I have resisted "peeking" since then... SW: 168 (roughly on July 4...it was 172 on April 1st) GW: 135-140 CW: 153!! Y'all are so encouraging and awesome! I love checking in to see what it the latest, get recipes, etc, even tho I don't post…

Thx @bjwoodzy ! Iam looking to make this a lifestyle and not just a diet. It has to be doable for the long-haul, so I need to be realistic about my goals, influences like my family's food preferences, my own love for certain foods, and the costs in time, money, etc. I actually just bought a scale today...plan on weighing…

Yikes (on the carbs!) Sorry you are feeling bad! I understand the "when in a pinch" scenarios...as a rule for me (& my kids as well) I almost never buy the "One-med-fixes-all" kind of thing just because we almost never have all the symptoms that are supposed to be suppressed by them and I hate the idea of taking meds we…

Idk if this will help or not (i still have SOOO much to learn about LC, keto, etc.), but for years, whenever I'm working outside in warm weather, whether on the farm or at my job (in the woods), I take along a few batches of my lemon "aide". For every serving, I mix 16 oz water, 1/4 + tsp salt (I originally said 1/2, but…

Newbie Alert lol ;) I have been @ MFP for a week now and love how it helps me to stay more accountable to myself; for months, I have been modifying my way of eating/living gradually each week to incorporate more protein/fat and fewer carbs, as well as cut out refined starches & sugars completely and potatoes (my greatest…

I'm new here and relatively new to LC. I pretty much ghost on these threads right now because I don't really have much to contribute, but this thread caught my attention as I was once a migraine sufferer as well. Nine years ago, I suffered for months without relief until I was diagnosed with vestibular migraine, which came…
