Never heard of low carb causing skin problems. As for the breath issue, for some people (including me) it goes away on its own after a few weeks. Since you're only planning to do this for a few weeks, you might as well reintroduce some carbs now. 7 weeks is barely enough time for your body to adapt all the way to the low…

We started at a similar time (March 1st for me) and I'm also not really losing this week. In fact, I have gained like a pound+ even though I'm doing all the same stuff I did last month. I think it is just normal weight and water fluctuation. Those of us with endocrine problems have to be even more patient, unfortunately.…

Humans are complicated animals, regardless of gender. No idea why people try to make it a gender thing. For example, I understand my husband a hell of a lot better than I understand my mother!

I lost that water weight and then some <3 Also, regarding surprise periods: going keto kickstarted my cycle again, so maybe that's what happened to you? This way of eating does seem to help…

I found it relevant. Many people have medical issues that they don't mention in every post, especially issues which tend to go along with being overweight or obese. And even if you don't think it applies, others did. So who cares if it's ~strictly~ relevant. To OP: like all diets, you have to try it and see how it works…

I was definitely thinking cockroach for the right one, too. The left reminds me of an alien holding out its arms for a hug. To the OP: as with most things in life, people have really strong opinions about weight loss and what is the "one true way" to do it. But the truth is, unless a person is doing something harmful,…

Suffer?! Personally, I have never enjoyed a way of eating as much as I enjoy low-carb (and I eat keto, less than 20g of carbohydrates per day). I have insulin resistance issues due to having PCOS and it's working well on my hormonal issues, as well. I don't even think about having a cheat meal, nevermind cheat days. To…

To be a mother. Also to buy a Mustang (the car, not the horse!). I'd prefer the baby though. This is awesome! Congrats to you. I'm slowly figuring out that it's (usually) not too late to do the things we always wanted to in some way.
