LOL nosy woman here! Just passing through, not here for hookups!

Are you looking to lose weight or just track a balanced diet. I only ask as my calorie goal is much lower than yours. I am in it for the weight loss. I focus on protein while maintaining low carbs and keeping at/under my calorie target. I tried to balance my macros the same as you, but I do not want to take in too much…

I find I hold myself accountable when I log every item . I do not weigh my food though, I eyeball it. I am doing low carb and I have a good idea of where my carbs are coming from. It's working for me.

I am doing low carb as well. Feel free to add me.

I drank plain old salt water last night. I think it's just easier for me, to make it quick and painless in one swoop.

You guys are awesome. I have low blood pressure naturally, and at the gym yesterday I was a little light headed, assumed my blood pressure bottomed out too low... which is usually a result of low sodium. I didn't think about, but I will focus on incorporating more salt into my diet. I will provide an update.

Thank you everyone! I am new to this and your insight is appreciated. I was more under the illusion that I needed to bring more fat in to the picture.

OK, I don't know if I'm insulin resistant. I'm losing weight quickly with a 100-120g protein intake, I'm not hungry at all, I eat plenty of veggies spinach broccoli mushrooms cauliflower. I am maintaining ketosis, but I do feel my energy is depleted.

What is IR?

See that is where my problem is, I am consuming a lot of protein and low carb, so I have to up my fats

I am not hungry, but I feel like I am eating too much protein. I eat around 120g protein a day, is that too much?? I am trying to balance and I read increasing my fat will help balance.

I love blue cheese dressing, so will definitely try this recipe! Many thanks!

I try to limit my wine intake to one weekend night and one weekday night. So 2 glasses a week. The weekday night, is a small glass, so I take the time and savour/appreciate the flavor and take water in between sips.

I will be flying to Arizona, then up to LA from Maryland, so many hours of flying in the morning. I will pack pepperoni, ham, eggs, and cheese with nuts. I know I can't bring an icepack through TSA so have to stick to cured meats and cheese.

I would have to hold my nose and swallow... I can't stand them!!!

ewww sardines... I don't think I can stomach them. I do carry a ziplock of nut/seeds with me.
