About 5 years ago I had never lost weight in a healthy way and spent most of my life -30 years maybe- talking about wanting to lose weight-I didn't believe I could. A friend said this to me, "When you really want to, you will." I was offended for a second, but then decided she was right and that I did want to [lose…

who is defending sugar? Maybe people who think sugar = love, and don't know that sugar = death?

how many carbs can you have a day? i do low carb also, and the carbs in oatmeal, apples and oranges are too high for me. i like to make bacon asparagus.. so good!!

It's important to eat fruit with a little bit of fat and protein to keep your blood sugar from spiking and dropping
-
I forgot about IF, thanks. it's a good tool. I just proved that unfortunately, I cannot eat carbs AND eat less calories than I burn. I have an addiction to carbs. I went off Keto for two months (gained 6 pounds) and going back on today. Unfortunately this means that it will once again be hard to eat from a wide variety of…

I went on Keto earlier this year and went from 145 - 117. Lost 5 inches of my hips, waist and boobs. Went from a D to a C, was so happy about getting rid of my big dumb boobs. Now after a two month break from Keto I gained 6 pounds and going back on (keto) today.. ps. My biggest pet peeve is when people don't believe in…

High 145 CW 119 GW 120 looks good on paper, but so skinny fat. Need to build muscle!

and it is so good too, i just tried it.

I think the same. The food in the US is made with corn syrup with is banned in other countries. The same product/brand could have additives here that doesn't in other countries.

When I ate pasta, I would find the fresh spinach fettuccini... mmmm.... I actually just bought pasta for the first time in 8 months..low glycemic is better because it won't spike your blood sugar and make you crave carbs all day..
-
what does prime candidate mean? !!
-
i love that you guys are still posting about this.. I just keep learning more and more. going off keto has been kind of a flop. I cut my fat, and upped my carbs.. but finding it difficult to eat over 50-80g carbs.this recipe = low energy. if anyone wants to add me to be able to view/critique my diet, please do.. i'll trade…

get micro needling to get rid of the stretch marks..helped my wrinkles on my face and about to get it on my stomach

don't wait until you're 44.

do it now!! The person in the photo with me is my 27 year old son and I just lost weight now i'm 5'4" 117.. and I still have fat that is more than loose skin. i'm about to start a weight routine in a couple of months.. all i can say is, yes it is still fat, yes, it might tighten up, yes it will be uneven (hopefully even…

since I've never been in shape, is it really a "recomp" or should it just be "comp." :D :D :D :D
-
yes, thank you! I want to do a recomp.. didn't know the name.. I think my body fat is around 25%
-
HDL is 103 Triglycerides 89 CHOL/HDLC Ratio 2.8 posting the whole category.. not sure what non HDL is
-
I find myself laying here wondering if I can find some carbs to eat in the next 15 minutes before I start on tomorrow's calories.
-
all of my sugars and everything were normal, but my LDL number is 168... another number, non HDL, is 187, and total cholesterol 290.. that is why I am adding soluble fiber - beans and fruit..and more veggies....i used to binge on pasta and bread and candy, .. don't want to start eating those again. the other number that…
-
yes I found the article interesting also. I guess I should be eating around 150 grams of carbs. Keto really was good for me for many reasons though. I have been ridiculously inactive while in grad school and Keto allowed me to eat at a 20% deficit helping me lose 5 inches off my hips/thighs/chest (dropped a bra size off…
-
i found a groupon with three training sessions at a small gym in my neighborhood... a lot of weights in there. thanks guys. also got some blood test results yesterday and my cholesterol is crazy high.. never had that problem before. i bought some fruit and black beans and am going to focus on eating more soluble fiber..…
-
ha i meant calorie deficit.. and yes I am skinny fat. that is the problem-why I posted originally. cause i want to be toned.
-
Keto is what has allowed me to stay on a negative calorie diet.. because I don't crave sugar anymore. i could never stay on any diet for longer than a month when i was eating carbs... but yes, i hear you all. I hope I can get toned.. maybe i'll try carbs again.. but not now.. eating even 40 or 50 grams of carbs makes me so…
-
I'm not a lifter and I've never been in shape. I just lost 26 pounds after being overweight my entire life so Keto feels good right now. I do want muscle, but I'm afraid that if I start eating carbs again, there won't be a middle ground. I'm not sure what my potential is, but I'm afraid I will just get fat again.
-
I just now read a great article that people on a keto diet should add carbs if they push themselves to the limit.. which it looks like you do. I doubt my ability to workout that hard, but we will see. If do increase carbs, maybe i will just add fruit, and/or black beans without adding pasta/bread/tortillas/etc.
-
Before I started doing the ketogenic diet, I was addicted to carbs and I struggled with binge eating for my whole life. I am afraid to eat carbs again. For the first time in my life I only eat when I'm hungry.. There are body builders/athletes who swear by the 10/25/65 macros... I don't know.. guess I will have to do more…

So.. you don't think I can build muscle with pilates, rock climbing, etc? I have no idea about lifting weights. I'll look into though, thanks.[/quote] Not unless you're gaining weight. Gaining muscle is progressive to increase size, you'll eventually have to move more resistance. So if you're lighter in weight, you're…

The courts won't even make Hershey's/Nestle say they get their chocolate from child slave labor, doubt we can make them add magnesium to the list.
