What can you do, beat yourself up for 5 minutes, and get back to it. You cant go back in time. Now hopefully you learn for going forward any cues or any means to not do it again. but unfortunately time travel hasnt been invented yet. So get back on track immediately.

I fast, but I am on a Keto / Low Carb diet. So my body uses its own stored fat for energy. Fasting keeps me burning that fat for fuel longer leading to more weight loss. I think if I was on a regular high carb diet the fasting would have the blood sugar levels plummeting and the hunger would be pretty intense. For me on a…

Why do you feel you dont have to count calories? The only way to lose weight is to be in a calorie deficit. You wont know if your in a deficit for sure unless you track. I have been keto since Jan 1. 30 pounds down but I track, especially when you get close to your desired weight. GREAT JOB and if you can do it without…

Total Carbs per day 20Grams. Moderate protein and High Fat. I have been on it since Jan1 and lost 30 pounds its AWESOME.

Sadly I am 49 and almost out of the group! 5 months left....

This is a tough one. To get into Ketosis you want to limit your meals and definitely cut out snacks not add them, why, because any food/meal/snack will cause a rise in insulin and temporarily halt the body from burning it's own fat as a source of energy.

yes! I am down 30#'s since Jan 1. I sleep so much better and my wifes says my snoring is no longer bothering her. So this was a great side benefit! I have more energy than when I was a teenager.

i am keto and love it! its not as restricting like so many other diets. i thought I would miss bread, pasta and fruits, but have simply replaced them with more vegetables, meat and eggs. Love it! Down 30 lbs since Jan 1.

I too am LCHF, dont worry the hunger will come. Your on an adrenaline and ketones high because you are seeing results. But your body will certainly catch up and you will eat.

I certainly cannot tell anyone what to do. I think I am done posting on these boards. No matter how you approach it you get such an adverse reaction to what your true intentions are. Simply trying to help those who need it (like I did) . Just not worth it any more. Good luck to everyone on their personal journeys!!!!!

Ok - I guess some people here simply know it all and are determined to fight opposing points of view that will help newbies. For me, I needed to read the original post. Instead of learning it for myself. For people to post that LCHF is great because you dont have to count calories is simply false! Even those who are an…

I doubt that it is green tea doing it, but certainly the IF & LCHF part of your equation is.

Are you running with your biceps flexed? Maybe that explains it.

Sorry to say there is no secret formula, 5 minute exercise or magic diet. The truth is though you have to find the "way of eating" at a caloric deficit that is right for you! I choose a low carb high fat diet. It is right for me (but wont be for others). I have to move (ie. exercise) as much as sometimes I do not want to.…

Hopefully you misunderstood the response this related too. The statement that I responded too was to not count calories and if you lost weight then you knew you were in a calorie deficit. My stance is, count and track your calories if your in weight loss mode, then you know your in a deficit. If you dont count, wait a…

That's it!!!

I never thought I would post pictures if myself but here it goes.

If you stay within your calorie goal you don't have to be keto or low carb. These are simply types of way of eating that people gravitate toward to lose weight or maintain. They choose this woe because they can stick with it and reach their goals. If it is too restrictive for you find an alternate method.

Exactly! For those trying to lose weight you should track your calorie intake. You don't want to waste a month to blindly find out if you were in a calorie deficit or your "eyeball" way of measuring was on. Really for those who are new to the forum and those who are in weight loss mode you should track everything. This…

Ummm how do you know if your in a calorie deficit if you don't count???????

I agree with your agree! Happy Friday!

Fat cells might "always be open" but when insulin is spiked those cells cannot be accessed for energy.

@LolaDeeDaisy23 Could be sooner, but yep, the water needs to be removed from the cells, they will hold on tight. It sucks I know. OBTW: I love almonds too and really have to watch it. I try to keep them out of the house, those calorie packed goodness - can get the best of us.

Yep you are taking in too many calories. The best quote I heard and rings in my head is this WOE is not about eating more it's about finding the right combination of foods on this WOE that you will eat less. That means finding foods that fit your macros and you are held over for a period of time to get your body to burn…
