Aquawave, I am sorry to hear your news and feel I am heading there, from a weight point of view I do best on very LCHF diets but it seems my body doesn't like it. My cholesterol is high, around 300, so I did the particle size tests and the results weren't good either. But I did read that losing weight spikes your…

There are people who eat LCHF and see very high cholesterol, me included, and they are called hyper-responders. In addition, several of my other lipid markers aren't looking great either. My goal is to lose the rest of the weight, about 20 lbs. and then start tweaking my diet, meaning cut out extra fats-- I think I am off…

I love to add a 1/2 an avocado to breakfast, on top of a burger or as a snack with a bit of lemon and salt.

Thank you all for your input and sharing your experiences. It helps keep this in perspective. I have already started supplementing to help with the cortisol level (which btw I had tested only via an annual blood test).

I am one of those people that has to count calories and eat below 1300 a day to see my weight move. I don't know how long you have been keto but it took me 6-7 weeks to start feeling better and now (at least for the past three-four) days my hunger is gone. I am 5'3 and 147lbs (lost 10 with Keto diet starting on Jan1) and…

I think you will need to track your calories. Unless I eat around 1,200-1,300 calories, my weight won't budge. I am doing Keto and IF, and unless I am counting calories I won't lose weight. I am 49, 5'3" 148 (I started at around 155.6) for reference.

Every now and then I have one of those days were I feel brimming with energy. But most days not! I have been faithfully lchf for just more than four weeks and my energy miracle did not arrive. I am taking supplements and salting food (and water)--some days I am better at it than others but overall I am good about keeping…

I didn't want to post today because I am with those that didn't lose weight-and actually put on a pound. Even though I tracked my food, kept calories under 1400 and worked out 3x. Start Date: 1/4/2016 Starting weight: 154 Jan 4-155.4 Jan 29-151.4 Goal weight in march:142 Looking forward to a better weigh in next Sunday.

There is a test to determine how much plaque build up you may have in your heart, which some say is the most reliable way of detecting risk of heart disease. It is called the coronary calcium scan and it is a CT scan of your heart. Unfortunately a lot of people in the medical community don't know about it and many…

I have been having a about 4 oz -6 oz of red wine most nights (I measure it out) this week, partly because I love a glass of wine and partly for the health benefits -- plus I had a bottle I needed to use up;) I do count the carbs as part of my day and only if I have not reached by 20 net carb limit will I have a glass and…

Start Date: 1/4/2016 Starting weight: 154 Jan 4-155.4 Jan 22-149.6 Goal weight in march:142 TARGET WEIGHT 125lbs. Three weeks of being on the LFHC diet and finally some issues are clearing up with the diet. Feeling better these days so staying committed.

Worked out three times and stuck to my Keto Diet, which was hard because I wasn't feeling great--keto flu, I think--but it was worth it. I think this week will be easier. Anyone can email me especially if they want to talk keto. Hope everyone has a good week ahead!

Start weight: 155.4 Current Weight 152.4 Goal Weight: 125 (not by March though!) Feels great to see the numbers heading in the right direction for a change... Been to the gym twice this week, going tonight and tomorrow and watching my LCHF food intake... I hope there is a slight drop by my weekly weigh in.

I am in while I can. I just turned 49 (yipes!) and this is the year I lose the extra weight I gained after having kids=, who are 8 & 10, and quitting smoking;( It took me two years to get back in the gym regularly and to start feeling strong again (had some minor injuries as I was adjusting to a post-45 year old body). Now…

I never see something that is right in front of me! Thank you for helping @LewJoe57 .

Count me in. I'm doing LFHC now, but have been mostly paleo (but I would cheat) for about 2 years. After years out of the gym (two kids) I got back to the gym regularly during 2016 and now I am ready to shed the baby (and quit smoking) weight. Date: 1/4/2016 Starting weight: 154 Jan 4-155.4 Jan 8-152.2 Jan 15- Jan 22- Jan…
