My alcoholic foods are sugar and wheat. I've also suffered from Binge Eating Disorder for about 45 years so binge eating is a behaviour that's breaking abstinence. It's usually sugar and wheat that leads to a binge, so by removing those foods, the behaviour is a lot easier to stop. One day at a time.

Not judging, but does it matter? This is a spiritual program not a religious one and as long as I have my higher power (whoever or whatever that is) I'm not fussed what anyone else's HP is. Just a thought. I really struggled over the HP aspect of the program but once it clicked, it clicked!

18 days effortless abstinence by working the steps.

There is quite a bit of anecdotal evidence that fasting (either intermittent or extended fasting) has an autophagy effect. Some people who follow IF or EF protocols report no loose skin and maybe it's due to autophagy. Could be something to research further... https://idmprogram.com/fasting-and-autophagy-fasting-25/

Solo. I cook separate meals for my teenage daughter, but she does share some of my keto meals. She is very supportive though, no issues there.

Back into MFP today. Been low carb the last 3 weeks, not sure if keto but getting back into the swing of things. Hi to all :)

I'm back :)

Happy Travels it's never too late!! Welcome! Wilbernel - sorry been so busy this week I really haven't checked in :# Job is great but very busy this week until I get on top of things. I love it though so that's great. Food has not been good. Certainly not keto this week! I've pulled myself together today and had a pretty…

Confession: Last night I had chocolate AND icecream. Oh dear. This week has been manic. Manic. And I think next week will be just as bad. I haven't even thought about me and my health this week, it's been all work. This isn't good for me - I need to have time to plan my food and my exercise and DO it. So I'm going to have…

New job is great, yesterday was my first day - so busy didn't get home until late but it's a great distraction! How is everyone?

Happy Sunday MFPeeps! Had a shocker of a day with food yesterday... OMG Also didn't do my planned workout due to being super busy and it's also so bloody hot. Today - back on it!! I'm not giving up on myself! How is everyone else going?

Hi everyone, sorry I've been a bit absent this week. On Monday the opportunity came up at work for a transfer/promotion which my boss encouraged me to go for - he's actually made phone calls about it on my behalf and so I have had a really busy week doing my job as well as getting an application together. Had first…

Thanks for sharing - fantastic effort I'm really happy for you!

Amazing!! I wouldn't have even thought it was the same person. Job well done and good luck with the last few kilos. How did you do it? I'm sure lots of us are interested to know how...

That's fantastic! Well done and keep up the good work!

Congrats!

190.52 this morning! Woo Hoo! I've updated the spreadsheet :)

Updating this in 2018... Put this on my blog so I could find it easily and thought it would be good here too! I've been dieting since I turned about 16 and have a history of food addiction and eating disorders. Changing to a ketogenic diet has been a lifesaver for me in the past and I'm giving it another go this year (and…

Ok so here is my update for this week just gone: * Food on track - following a keto diet (www.dietdoctor.com) :) * 3 planned workouts completed :) * 10,000 steps every day completed :) STATS * Age 49, 167cm * 2018 Starting weight: 91.4kg (ugh) - size 16-18 * Current weight: 85.4kg - size 16 * Weight Loss this year: 6kg :)…

PJ - The site I like best for meal plans, recipes and a 2 week starter is dietdoctor.com. They also have LOTS of videos on all different topics relating to keto and regulation of hormones. Excellent site. DR Jason Fung - world famous nephrologist who works to reduce patients type 2 diabetes and obesity.…

PJ - I'm sure you know that's an inflammation issue... Low carb High Fat diet will help you out.

Oh dear that is not good. I've never had vertigo but hear it's bloody awful. Hope you feel better soon.

Weighed in this morning and have lost 2kg since last week, so very happy. Also feeling full of boundless energy and have the day off so I can take advantage of it! Life is good!! B)

(changed my profile name) Keto 8 days, doing really well. Had an urge last night to have something crunchy so I made crispy bacon and eggs for dinner - was awesome!

Having a super day!! Busy at work, have a meeting to go to tonight so wont be home until late. Drinking peppermint tea - the world is a great place to be!! Hope everyone is having a good day :D

7 days abstinent, doing well.

Welcome Helen! I remember when you did that stair challenge the last time, sounds like a great idea if you are up to it. I've had a good week so far. Been REALLY busy at work but that's good, I like to be busy. Will have another busy day tomorrow and then I have Friday off to take my daughter to a couple of appointments.…

Yes I agree. Have a look at www.dietdoctor.com and Dr Fung's blog at https://idmprogram.com/blog/ I'm about the same height and weight and have a yo-yo diet history. I've completely ruined my metabolism and keto is the thing that works for me. If you are willing to try low calorie diets, maybe be willing to try keto for a…
