Same Time Next Year

I went cold turkey into <20g net carbs a day from who knows how many, but a lot!!! I did feel pretty horrible for a couple of weeks but nearly 1 year on I feel that this was the best thing I could do for myself. I have lost 78 pounds and my health has not been this good for many years. I was medically supervised and still…

Keep it simple, log everything, keep to <20g net carbs a day and avoid cheat meals/days especially while becoming fat adapted. Cheating can trigger cravings for sugary or carb filled foods. Drink plenty of water and increase your salt intake and watch your electrolytes as your kidneys will be working more. I was insulin…

I have been keto for nearly a year, have lost about 78 pounds and been maintaining for about 3 months. I still weigh and log everything as it keeps me accountable. I keep my carbs 20g net or under, protein about 20% and the rest of my calories from healthy fats. My doctor advised me to try this way of eating to reverse my…

My doctor telling me last November that I was insulin resistant and pre-diabetic. I was also on blood pressure medication. I was off medication after 6 weeks and no longer show insulin resistance. I have lost about 78 pounds and have been maintaining a little below my goal weight for 3 months.

Our body is almost never symmetrical and will have variations. I have left arm lymphedema after having a full axillary clearance and left breast lumpectomy due to breast cancer. With lymphedema the arm will vary in size due to many factors including becoming too hot, doing too much with the arm or simply wearing a watch or…

Finishing a 12 hour night shift, knowing I have some days off after what has been a very stressful week at work and getting to see my wonderful man. Life doesn't get much better than that.

Counselling may be needed to help address what caused you to start overeating and binging on sugary treats. I too was a binge eater but was not fussy about what I binged on, just about anything would do and I frequently ended up vomiting, after which I would go back to eating as I had made more room. For me it took a…

Dr Ken Berry has some very good and down to earth stuff on youtube. Also dietdoctor website.

The dietdoctor website and also Dr Ken Berry has some very good info on keto. I have been keto for about 11 months. I am fairly strict and lost 35.5kg in a little over 8 months and have been maintaining for nealrly 3 months. My health has improved since starting this way of life (for life it is, not a short quick fix diet)…

I just got home from a 12 hour night shift, so go to bed and sleep the day away is pretty high on my agenda.

It was worth it for me. My doctor recommended it for health reasons. Since starting keto I have lost about 78 pounds, but more importantly am no longer showing signs of insulin resistance, no longer pre-diabetic, no longer needing medication to control my BP, no more reflux and no more joint pain. Keto is not for everyone.…

I find 16:8, with the occasional 20:4 and 24 hour IF works well for me and hunger is not a problem. I follow a keto lifestyle (on medical advice) and have done so for a little over 10 months. Intermittent fasting has the benefit of autophagy (an interesting topic well worth some research) which can help with reducing the…

I have been Keto since November 2017. I started at 92.8kg with a goal of 60kg. I am 62years old and 5'3". I reached my goal weight in a little over 8 months. My current weight is 57.8kg and I am now in maintenance mode. I still keep carbs very restricted at 20-25g net per day. My doctor suggested this way of eating for me…

I have several LBD, some old and some new. Who knew a 62 year old grandma could scrub up so well??

I live in Australia and work as I registered nurse. I woke up to get ready for a morning shift and could not believe what I was seeing and hearing on the news.

I have been <20g net carbs a day for 10 months and have no problem with feeling lightheaded except when my blood pressure is a bit too low. I usually run on the low side of normal but some days it will dip under 90/50 and on those days I have to be careful when standing up or stooping. I think your problem is inadequate…

I am a little more than middle aged at 62, but it is never too late to start and hopefully my story gives you some encouragement. I have been logging on MFP for 10 months now and find it keeps me accountable. I have lost 77 pounds and 15 inches off my waist. I have followed a doctor ordered and medically supervised…

I used to binge eat and drink as an emotional blanket over the pain I felt from the negative comments and emotional abuse from my mother and ex husband. With the support of a wonderful man I am learning to love, and just as importantly like, myself. With this I have found the need to binge has just about disappeared and on…

When I first met my partner 16 years ago I was a size 16-18 and weighed in at 185lbs, which is not the best with my 5'3" height. His first ever words to me were "Oh my God, you are beautiful". So yes big can be beautiful and sexy.

That feeling of something missing and life being not quite right without him/her. I spent 12 years married to the wrong person, knowing that he was not and never would be the person I wanted most to be with. Misunderstandings and circumstances caused the love of my life and I to break things off. I ran away from the pain…

If I use the above calculation I get a value of a about 28. At 58kg for 160cm tall which classifies me as not obese. My BMI comes out at 22.7 (healthy range) with a suggested weight range of 47.4 to 63.7kg. While trolling the internet I found this calculation for RFM which is slightly different and cuts out 1 step of the…

Congratulations, well done on a great achievement. I have been keto since November 2017 and have also had huge health benefits and a 75 pound weight loss. My LDL is a little high but am still waiting for a report on the subfractions to see what the actual particle size breakdown is. My regular doctor understands keto but…

Ultimately it comes down to you. You made the decision to eat the oatmeal, feel disappointed with yourself and are deflecting your feelings toward your husband. Yes, it was a bit insensitive to suggest eating the oatmeal, but he didn't spoon feed it into you. Log this down to experience and move on.

I was put on a ketogenic diet by my doctor as I was showing insulin resistance and close to type 2 diabetes. This way of eating is not for everyone but has worked for me. I have also been medically supervised for the 8 months I have been eating this way. As Lillymoo01 says seek guidance from the professionals before…

I am in Sydney. Almost at the end of the weight loss phase and soon to hit maintenance. 8 months ago I started at 92.8kg and at my last weigh in was 61.1kg with a goal of 60kg. I follow a ketogenic diet which does not suit everyone but has worked for me. Feel free to add me as a friend.

I met mine (Paul) on the internet 16 years ago. We dated for about 18 months and then he did something stupid, I left town to get over him and ended up marrying someone else. Classic rebound relationship. Bad move!! I separated 3 years ago and am now divorced. Every year on my birthday, Paul would call me to make sure I…
